MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!
We have to learn to listen to each other better--we should give that as a gift to everyone we meet...It's not that hard to love each other....
BAH HUMBUG!!!
The Boys in Vegas took the Gairzo to the woodshed and bludgeoned the poor bastard with a 2 by 4 to the tune of two, TWO-- 5-10 Weeks in a row. Yowza!!!
Brutal...
We trudge on...humbled...
GAME OF THE WEEK
Baltimore Ravens (+5.5) @ San Francisco 49ers (-5.5) 45.5 GW
This is a very possible Super Bowl preview....
We believe in the Ravens more than the 49ers. Harbaugh is a better Head Coach than
Shanahan, and Shanahan always thinks he is the smartest guy in the room.
These are two of the best teams in ‘23, any handicapper could pick either team and back his pick up.
We’re going with the Ravens who usually find a way to beat good teams with a timely special teams play.
Take the Magpies and the points; they’ll win it outright anyway
Ravens 34
49ers 30
UPSET SPECIAL
Dallas Cowboys (+1.5) @ Miami Dolphins (-1.5) 49.5 US [O]
I’m thinking both these clubs are overrated.
Dallas split two high scoring games against division rival Philly.
The Niners mopped Levis Stadium with “The Star” in 42-10 laugher.
Arizona dominated in their upset over the Cowboys
Last week Dallas forgot to show up in Buffalo
The ‘Boys eked out wins versus Seattle by six, and the Bolts by three...
Excepting their domination of the Rams, all of the Cowboys blowout wins were against bad football teams...
Meanwhile, in Miami...
The Fins have no wins against a playoff contender unless you put the Bolts on that list.
Dallas is better on both sides of the line in 3rd down efficiency and defense--same with Red Zone scoring and defense.
Dallas will win this one big--or yet again reveal themselves to be the overhyped windbag of a team they have been for the last 27 years.
I’m playing the Over.
Cowboys 30
DolphinS 23
OVER/UNDER OF THE WEEK
Buffalo Bills (-12.5) @ Los Angeles Chargers (+12.5) 42.5 O/U
Obviously we think the spread is way to high in this game. The Bolts have been struck with bad coaching for too many years--they have the talent to beat anyone.
It’s a shootout at SOFI...The Zappers cover easily--Over the Number.
Bills 32
Chargers 29
