FLAGS and EXTRA POINTS
- Tampa Bay, Baltimore, Las Vegas: COVID, COVID, COVID.
- Yeah, if I were John Gruden and Philip Rivers torched me for 44 points, I'd fire my defensive coordinator too ... then lose to the Chargers.
- Can Freddie Kitchens exact his revenge against the Browns?
- Who's spitting who?
- Jets set a club record with thirteen straight losses; Gase finally admits he sucks.
- On that note, there's an awful lot of really bad coaches available for hire. Can't wait till teams start making really bad decisions with their next coaching hire.
- A seventeenth game of the season?
- Randy Moss: YOU GOT MOSSED!! He called himself the greatest ever wide receiver, that is, until Jerry Rice set him straight.
- NFL games being televised on NICKELODEON is a profoundly terrible idea. Don't do it.
- The BUFFALO BILLS, New York State's real team, clinches its first division title since 1995.
WEEK FIFTEEN
Friday Line ~ NYP/MGM
Browns -5 1/2 GIANTS
Colt McCoy and Freddie Kitchens team up to face their former team. I don't know what to expect; clueless. Just picking the favorite.
WIN 20-6 Browns
RAMS -17 1/2 Jets
TRAP GAME ALERT!! The Jets this season have lost by at least seventeen points on seven different occasions. They've similarly been held to ten points or less seven times. Adam Gase said he has failed Christopher Johnson. Perhaps there is still more he can do - like screwing up the Jets chances at the number one overall pick with an upset victory against the Rams! Only then will his failure be complete.
Loss 23-20 Jets
COLTS -7 1/2 Texans
Nothing is guaranteed for the Colts and they know it. They still have a good defense but just need to tighten up a little. Romeo Crennel may not start Deshaun Jackson.
Loss 27-20 Colts
TITANS -10 1/2 Lions
Lions center suffered a fractured throat injury. That's more problematic than if Matt Stafford (ribs) plays or not. Titans continue right along playing smashmouth football.
WIN 46-25 Titans
Bucs -5 1/2 FALCONS
I think the oddsmakers are being kind to the Falcons.
Loss 31-27 Bucs
DOLPHINS -2 1/2 Patriots
The Sea Mammals are only slightly better than the Pats. Cam Newton isn't holding up very well. Not likely Patriots sweep the season series.
WIN 22-12 Dolphins
Seahawks -5 1/2 NO NAMES
If Alex Smith was playing I would think differently.
Loss 20-15 Seahawks
Bears +3 1/2 VIKINGS
I dub thee TOILET BOWL XV ... this used to be one of the NFL's greatest rivalries. There's enough life left in these Bears to split the season series, but need something fluky to happen.
WIN 33-27 Bears
RAVENS -12 1/2 Jaguars
What good is the return of the great Gardner Minshew if the Ravens are rushing up and down the field against the NFL worst running defense?
WIN 40-14 Ravens
COWBOYS +3 Niners
Niners are one of the biggest disappointments of the season. The Cowboys win just to make the battle for the NFC Least a little more intriguing.
WIN 41-33 Cowboys
CARDINALS -6 1/2 Eagles
Look out! The Eagles hired a top-secret football whisperer. Faith is waning, but I still believe in the Cardinals.
WIN 33-26 Cardinals
Chiefs -3 SAINTS
Drew Brees is back. But all it takes is one hit to knock him right back out. Chiefs have their hands full against Saints defense. If this spread was wider, I'd think twice.
PUSH 32-29 Chiefs
Schmear of the Week
Bucs -5 1/2
LOSS!!!!!!!!!!!
Good luck, and have a great Football Sunday, everyone!
