Season Record 9-4 +410
Recap
New England Patriots -3 (-13)
New York Giants +17 (+7)
Detroit Lions +12.5 (+2.5)Winner
NE -3 -
I like the chances of winning by 4 or more at home. Fields hasn't done much in the passing department and I don't see that changing tonight. I haven't looked yet, but I'll be looking to bet the over on his run total. I cashed a lot of tickets with him while in Chicago and tonight he is going to need to use his legs. This was a game in which NE let NYJ hang around. Full line action went anywhere from -12.5 to -13.5 depending on when bet as NE won by 13. If you followed my advice on Fields the number was in the mid 30's and he ran for 67 yards. You were a winner before the first half was over.
NYG +17 -
Yes I know NYG will be using Winston or Russel but they can still manage the game. Both play loosey goosey at times when passing downfield but I see a bit of a different type offense this week. I'm also riding on the new coach bump. Players will play a little harder for a coach they like and if they want to see him be the next coach they will play their hearts out. I just can't see GB winning by 3+ scores here.A lot to cover here as Winston did indeed manage the game and avoided mistakes until his interception late in the game going for the tying score. Like the NE game the full game line went anywhere from GB -6.5 to -7.5. We got the easy win and this one was never in doubt. The NYG did play a bit harder and you can't fault the effort.
DET +12.5 -
DET has an offense and will score points. Since Campbell took over play calling they've just been an offensive juggernaut and even while PHI is an elite defense, covering 13 is just not something I can see taking place. Ok I was half right here, as DET didn't do much as Goff was pressured like Lionel Richie singing "All Night Long" PHI does indeed have an elite D and they didn't come close to covering 13 either. Sure it got to 10 but there was never shot at it being in jeopardy. We needed the additional points here. I will add there was some home cooking on that final drive as that was clearly not PI on DET to give PHI a first down.
Houston Texans 0 (-6)
Baltimore Ravens -1.5 (-7.5) Winner
First we get the Texans who just need to win, I don't care if they win by 1 or 21, Just Win Baby !!!!! However the Houston defense made life miserable for all facets of the Titans offense. A game Houston must win if they have hopes of the playoffs. The Titans shouldn't score more than 14 in this game barring fluke special teams scores like we saw with the Jets vs Browns last week.A tougher game than expected but I said I don't care if they win by 1 or 21, Just Win Baby and that Houston did. They indeed made life miserable for Cam Ward and TN didn't score 14 points, they scored 13. Pretty close to how I figured it would play out.
Ravens to dismantle the Browns. while the CLV defense may provide some moments of uneasiness, I don't see the CLV offense doing much of anything as they haven't all season, why would it start here?Like HOU this wasn't easy either but the end result was a victory. CLV managed a total of 16 points while producing only 187 total yards. CLV didn't score the second half and never were in a position to score. The CLV D did provide many moments of uneasiness but BAL found a way to score when necessary and win.
A winner is a winner and we had two on Sunday to raise the season record to 9-4 +410.
Perhaps I write all of this for myself because it's a ghost town here. It's very disheartening to put the effort I put in not only in doing this thread but all I do on the site for 25+ years. It's really bizarre the lack of conversation not only here but elsewhere. I guess people are stuck in their phones and tablets to communicate or put a few sentences together. Perhaps it's time to shut down the forum and move on in life.
