Season Record 15-8 +540
10 Point Teaser (3 Teams) -120
Baltimore Ravens +6 (-4)
Seattle Seahawks +7.5 (-2.5)
Tampa Bay Buccaneers +7.5 (-2.5)
TB +7.5
I think this game will come down to three key factors,
Mayfield and how he plays along with his decision making, he is going to need to use his legs more.
If TB can keep a clean game on the field and eliminate those penalties.
Can TB do a better job against the run.
If they can do these three things, they win. I expect a tight game and believe TB is the right side here. The points are insurance.Mayfield had one INT and ran for 31 yards. Penalties were less than the last meeting with 6 and CAR had 5 of their own with one yard difference.
TB allowed only 19 yards rushing on 14 attempts and still only won by 2. I will say the CAR real game cover was a one of most obvious fixes that even a blind man could've seen. Up 16-7 with about 520 to go in the game and a FG makes the cover for TB no matter what CAR did after that. But wait, a blocked FG. Let's fast forward CAR 4th and 8 on the TB 48 and they magically connect on a 40 yard pass. 2 plays later it's a TD and 16-14. I'm not done, TB gets the ball and ultimately has to punt with 26 seconds. They down it at the CAR 3. Rather than put on a rush and still have 6 back, they rush 3 as Young gets a 18 yard pass completion. Any other time, they are putting on the rush and getting to the QB, a holding or a throw away to do it again. They can't give up the safety to have TB win by 4 and cover the 2.5. Sorry but it's just fucking laughable.
SEA +7.5 -
A lot of what SF does predicates on CMC, he leads the team in rushing and receiving. He leads the team with 17 TD's. Stop him or slow him down and you effectively shut down SF. SEA has multiple guys they can go to, Walker, Charbonnet, Smith Njigba etc. Even with Purdy's greatness the last 5 weeks, Mac Jones still leads the team in passing yards.
They are the better all around team and can do a lot of different things that I don't think SF can. If the SEA defense does what it has all year to this point, I can't see them losing unless some fluky things happen.CMC 8 carries for 23 yards and caught 6 for 34. They shut him down. They shut down SF and held them to 3 points. SEA ran for 180 yards. SF had 9 1st downs, 173 total yards, held the ball for 22:12 on 42 plays. SEA ran 67 plays, 23 1st downs and had the ball 37:48. 361 total yards.
Complete domination..........
BAL +6 -
I'm just going to call BS here on this game period. This rivals the TB game and I haven't got to the game that is sticking in my crawl yet. A guy misses an EP for the second time in 4 years and like magic a guy that has missed 3 FG all year and that were all 50 yard plus magically misses a 44 yard attempt where he was 7 for 7 from 40-49 all season. Sorry but this is just all too fishy. Sure we win with the points but is it that the NFL just wants Rogers to have one more playoff run? I'm no conspiracy theorist or really truly believe in fixes but today was the day of all days where things stuck out for the world to see.
Other games - CLV getting a walk off FG. This after McPherson missed not one but two extra points. He had missed one all year. Why they didn't go for two to tie the game at 14 instead of trying to still be down 13-14 is beyond me. Well they ended up down 12-14! I guarantee in any other game, they are going for two.
I don't know if I can even talk about the ATL game up 19-10 with 2:52 to go. Game ends 19-17 and ATL doesn't cover 3.5. Let's just say Raheem Morris was fired instantly after the game for a damn good reason.
Any way, a winning ticket on the final week of the regular season and a 15-8 +540 finish. 65.21%
You won't find many if any with that kind of winning %. However not many found this thread in 2025 and how I feel right now is just as it has been for quite a long period of time here on the forum and in life. The feeling of being underappreciated and the things I do for people it's like they are now expected.
You know when athletes and performers know it's time or near time to end their career, I can honestly say, I know the feeling and every day the BS and what not continues, the closer I'm just going to wake up one day and pull the plug. Then what?
Let's Make That $$$$
