WEEK TEN
Friday Line ~ NYP/MGM

GIANTS +3 Eagles
Just throwing my home team a bone here ... the Giants have been running the ball well of late and the defense is playing better by the week.  But when has anything mattered in a Giants/Eagles game?  Look for something stupid to transpire.
WIN  27-17 Giants

BROWNS -3 1/2 Texans
I think the Browns will get back to grounding and pounding.  Texans defense won't be able to stop them.
Loss  10-7 Browns

PACKERS -13 Jaguars
Jake freakin' Luton!!  Packers are just 2-2 in the last four games.  Great time for them to rev it up again.  This could get ugly.  They screwed me on last week's Schmear; I'm doubling down. 
Loss  24-20 Packers

Buccaneers -5 PANTHERS
Bucs are very good against the run, and Christian McCaffrey is out again.  Makes Teddy Bridgewater too predictable.  Bucs have stumbled of late, but it won't last.  
WIN  46-23 Bucs

LIONS -3 d.c. wtf
This is simply a game the Lions should and need to win.  At least they have capabilities on offense, the No Names not so much.  Matt Patricia loses this game, he should expect to be fired after the season.
PUSH  30-27 Lions

CARDINALS -2 1/2 Bills
A great matchup between second and third year QBs.  Bookmakers can't get themselves to give the Cardinals the obligatory three points at home.  Just think Kyler Murray is a few degrees hotter than Josh Allen.  One mistake ruins it for either team.
Loss  32-30 Cardinals

RAIDERS -4 1/2 Broncos
The Raiders are back home after reeling off two straight wins on the road.  Last week against the Bolts they ran, ran, and ran the ball to victory.  This used to be one of the best rivalries in football ...
WIN  37-12 Raiders

DOLPHINS -1 1/2 Chargers
The South Beach Fish are 5-1 in their last six games!
WIN  29-21 Dolphins

STEELERS -7 1/2 Bengals
Big Ben hasn't practiced all week due to COVID protocol.  At his age, it's a welcome break.  This spread is otherwise troublesome. 
WIN  36-10 Steelers

SAINTS -9 Niners
Niners are down, and the Saints are gonna keep em down at home in the dome.
WIN  27-13 Saints

Seahawks +1 1/2 RAMS
Seahawks over the last three weeks have me completely off track.  Still think the Rams are a paper tiger.
Loss  23-16 Rams

Ravens -7 PATRIOTS
It's becoming clearly evident the banged-up Patriots are in need of a complete rebuild.  Foxboro can't help them now.  And then there's the Ravens defense.
Loss  23-17 Patriots


Schmear of the Week
Packers -13
LOSS

Good luck and have a great Football Sunday everyone!
