Season Record 11-4 +610

I thought that last weeks teaser was great, well I think this one is even better. Granted it took a bit of an effort last week for HOU and BAL to get it done, but let's face it, division games aren't easy no matter the records.

Los Angeles Rams -0.5 (-6.5)
San Francisco 49ers -1 (-7)

For those of you looking for a 10 pt teaser this week, simply plug the above two and I would use DET as the third piece.


Play: LAR -0.5 vs TB

When I think of Tampa Bay, I think soft

The Rams They’ve beaten the same slate of teams TB has—HOU, NO, SF, SEA—but they’ve done it with conviction.

This was a total beat down from the start. They did exactly what I thought they would and don't you love that word conviction because that's exactly what this was.


SF -1 vs CAR

CAR is a fraud at 6-5.

This line is off by a few points and if SF doesn't beat them by double digits, I'd be shocked. Of all my Bad Man plays this one is by far my favorite one of the week.

This played out a bit differently than I envisioned on the defensive side of the ball for SF. However they did get two interceptions and CAR only ran a total of 42 plays in 9 drives. That's not going to win ball games. Add in the fact they only had the ball for 22:18 and that normally equates to losing.

SF not withstanding 3 Purdy interceptions ran 70 plys in 10 possessions and had the ball 37:42. They were clearly the more balanced offense with 32 pass and 38 run plays. CAR on the other hand was 29 pass and 13 run plays.

It wasn't pretty but it didn't have to be and they won by double digits.

By the way SF was my only Bad Man winner this week. Lost two by 1/2 point, DET won but didn't cover and PHI blew a 21-0 lead........ tough week to take in that combination.

For the 10 teamer - DET really pushed the envelope and for the longest time I wasn't sure this was going to get home. It took OT but once again the NYG in defeat were stubborn. Sooner or later they are going to get waxed because you can only go so long all in and losing before it all comes tumbling down. They are still playing hard for the interim coach but I don't think he's going to be the next named head coach. If so I'll be shocked.

I was speaking with a friend and I told him I had my biggest teaser of the year going yesterday. He proceeds to tell me he tailed it and his families happiness is riding on it.

I sent back a reply that I was putting Thanksgiving dinner on his table this year. I had said either people that tailed will be ready for Thanksgiving or will be the stuffed turkey.

You know it's some back and forth conversation but today I was thinking of that conversation and thought to myself, there are people out there tailing my picks and perhaps betting way more than they should. I think I fuel that by my comments about the biggest one of the season or even bigger than last weeks. I never intend to put people in a position that if they lose they can't put food on the table or go without paying a bill or something.

I take what I do very seriously and it's why I say, don't go crazy, don't over do it... etc etc.........

If I in some way have helped your bankroll rise or maybe I have put some holiday cheer into your festivities later this week, I'm glad I can assist. There's nothing worse for me than to have a losing pick. Realistically I can't win them all and they aren't as easy to come up with. I want anyone that follows along to win and I love doing this thread.

The season is starting to wind down and I'll do my best to keep the winners coming.

For those celebrating Thanksgiving in a few days, enjoy the time and raise a glass in cheer to FREAK!
