RESULTS

SCOREBOARD
Week Sixteen Record:  7-4
Overall Record ATS:  113-86-7 (+20)
Schmear of the Week:  3-13-1 (-33)
Bagels in the Basket:  -13


WEEK SEVENTEEN
Friday Line ~ NYP/MGM

Cowboys -2 GIANTS
With a playoff berth at stake, I'd like to think the Giants are gonna pull one out for The Duke, but the Cowboys seem to have figured a few things out, and as I said last week, Dallas still has enough playmakers.
Loss  23-19 Giants

Jets +3 PATRIOTS
Why the hell not?!  If there was a way to screw the Jets out of the second overall picks Adam Gase will find the way.  Gang Gase actually played well against the Patriots in their first meeting, and the defense is playing better since Gregg Williams was fired.  Sam Darnold wanting to go out on a good note, will have his best game of the season (although Adam Gase still won't let him audible).
Loss  28-14 Patriots

BUCS -6 1/2 Falcons
Not impressed with Atlanta's tight near-victory against the Chiefs.  Tom Brady and the Bucs defense punctuate their regular season with a drubbing of the Falcons.
WIN  44-27 Bucs

Ravens -13 BENGALS
We'll see how good the Bengals feel about themselves after this game.
WIN  38-3 Ravens

Packers -5 1/2 BEARS
Oh no! Packers left tackle David Bakhtiari is out with a torn ACL.  That's a big loss.  If the Bears take away the Packers' run game, Aaron Rogers will beat them; if they try and get after Rogers, the Packers' run game will trip up the Bears.  Mitch Trubisky can't do enough to keep up. 
WIN  35-16 Packers

COLTS -14 Jaguars
The entire Jaguars roster is questionable - just to make sure they get that #1 pick.  Their general manager will be jumping for joy watching his team get destroyed by the Colts, who desperately need this game.
PUSH  28-14 Colts

Chargers -3 1/2 CHIEFS
This is a rest game for the Chiefs, allowing the Bolts to end off on a good note.
WIN  38-21 Chargers

BILLS -3 Dolphins
The greatest team in New York State will play this game straight up.  Miami is counting on their rookie quarterback; Ryan FitzMagic tested positive for COVID.
WIN  56-26 Bills

Vikings -6 1/2 LIONS
I dub thee Toilet Bowl XVII ... Lions are already sipping on the catnip.  Two despondent teams will make for an eye tearing yawn fest.
Loss  37-35 Vikings

Saints -7 PANTHERS
Panthers had their fun last week.  Saints have great balance on each side of the ball.
WIN  33-7 Saints

BROWNS -9 Steelers
The Browns need to hit the restart button.  The Steelers are sitting out regulars.
Loss  24-22 Browns

Titans -7 1/2 TEXANS
The Titans will be met with little resistance by the Texans' defense.
Loss  41-38 Titans

No Names -2 EAGLES
WTF: win and in.  Dwayne Haskins is unemployed, and Alex Smith is back behind center.
WIN  20-14 No Names

Cardinals -3 RAMS
That's it for the L.A. Paper Tigers; the damage is done.  Rams are collapsing like a cheap poker table.
Loss  18-7 Rams

Raiders -2 1/2 BRONCOS
... member when this was one of the best rivalries in football?  Parity demands the Raiders finish with an 8-8 record.
Loss  32-31 Raiders

Seahawks - 5 1/2 NINERS @ Arizona
The Seahawks finish a fine season on a high note; Jamal Adams makes a tremendous difference for Seattle.
Loss  26-23 Seahawks

Schmear of the Week
Saints -7
WIN ... Finally!


Good luck, Happy New Year, and have a great Football Sunday, everyone!
