Big Big NFL Weekend!
I honestly wouldn’t bet a dime on any of this weekend’s football spreads (besides the $20 I’m throwing at the NFLBBB). I could see any of these teams covering. Please also note that the KC and NO line never moved or wavered from 10/3. I feel vindicated by not bowing to the public pressure to add a fake hook on those lines.
also, if you’re interested in what the sharpies are up to:
I know I said the deadline for entries in KO first game but I’m going to be busy then so I will be cutting the contest entry time to some time this morning (PST). You’ll know when that is when I upload all the entries into this thread. I think we have 8 playing right now.
________________________________________
Ok, just as I did last week, here is the email I sent to my daughter with the time stamp on it confirming that I was the first to get their picks in without seeing any other entries first:
here are the rest…….
Mr. Sports Dude: 193 GB, Balt, KC, TB
San Diggity Dog: 194 GB, Balt, KC, NO
Current reigning champion Mac Dog: 216 GB, Balt, KC, TB
Unca Chuck: 228 Rams, Buffalo, KC, TB
That Fucking Clown: 199 GB, Balt, Clev, NO
GiantHead: 209 GB, Balt, KC, Saints
ChiPower: 206 Rams, Balt, KC, NO
8 contestants playing for $160…..
the contest is now closed to new contestants……
Dog and me both going high numbers again.
Dude and I damn near an exact match.
Fyi Dude I have a 2:20 at Westchester (right by LAX) with my son and his buddy today. Our 4th dropped out. Text me if you want in. (Longshot, I know)
oh man bombing some drives with you today would be awesome! At least until that 3rd beer kicked in, right? lqtm
I was flashing back to that fateful day yesterday! We have Santa Ana conditions down here and it was 90 degrees on the course. (School was cancelled due to high winds)
I was definitely telling myself to stay away from the Bud Light!
Happy Birthday to Murph. Sixty some odd years with the Giants, dat dude deserves a big ass statue.
you guys finish off the rest of those oysters?
This afternoon for apps before the ribeyes. That sauce you mentioned the other day is just butter and garlic, throw that on them let em flame up a bit, toss a mix of Parmesan and Pecorino Romano cheeses, add some more butter and then you eat them. Even if you aren’t an oyster fan I bet you’d go for these bad boys.
Didn’t they fire him last year?
idk Giants offseason disappointing, in that they didn’t do much to improve pitching or offense. Petty dispute with Solano over $600K is bad biz. So was not offering Gausman good enough deal for 2-3 years to keep him beyond this year. Right now he is best they have.
Giants issue is the prospects aren’t ready yet and won’t be for 2022 either. So in order to get closer to even a WC spot they will have to find multiple players, starting with SPs (biggest area of need) CF and SS. The $$ isn’t the issue, it’s finding better players for most of rotation and half the lineup including most of IF on open market.
Kapler did OK with what he had, getting them to near .500 Seems like taller issue this season especially given lack of vet presence in pen, handling of whom isn’t his strong suit. Better player or 2/3 would have made him seem lot smarter, like it does for all mgrs.
the only thing I have a strong feeling about is that our pitching staff will be decimated by injuries this year. Most of those arms look ready to pop
Very good chance of that, but if 3 of the 5 can each somehow get to 150 innings, I’d bet they’ll also be performing pretty well.
I’m the only one who took Buffalo?
That’s wild
And, I’m the only one who doesn’t think KC will cover the spread.
i’m wiht you
Flav, I sent an email with my picks to you yesterday, can I still get in?
You’re in man you’re listed up above
Nice, I like that.
Oh, oops, I missed “Current reigning champion,” never mind.
Yes, just like Loo’s Chiefs, defending champion til someone knocks you off. Last week went down to wire in wild Browns Steelers game. Exciting to sort out though game outcome meaningless.
“current reigning champ” precede your name
Only 4-4 split is Saints-Bucs. The rest: Packers-Rams 6-2, Ravens-Bills 7-1, Chiefs-Browns 6-2.
No picks from Loo?
no
I don’t see how the NFC teams can ever compete against the AFC teams in many future Super Bowls. All the talented young QB’s are all in the AFC..Mahomes,Allen,Jackson,Herbert ( yes he will be a stud) Burrows,Mayfield? Then u bring in Lawrence another AFC QB the young studs are all in the AFC.
What’s the NFC have? And I’m not talking the relics,Rodgers,Brady,Brees,Stafford who are almost done.
I guess just Wilson&Murray,Watson and Prescott if he bounces back ok, anyone else?
Cooper Kupp inactive today for the Rams ( knee)
Huge loss due to being Goff’s safety valve all season.
Doesn’t matter no way Rodgers is going to lose to Goff in cold weather, he’s the best cold/snow QB alltime!(Honorable mention to Brady I guess)
To combat Aaron Donald I can see Rodgers doing no huddle, hurry up, to keep the Rams from substituting and wear them down.Adams/Ramsey should be a great matchup but I’m going with Adams to win the battle..
Not snowing in GB, damn.
Snow no Snow Doesn’t matter how Hot Rodgers has been..
Rams having trouble vs. Aaron, and not just Rodgers.
Wait. Wait a minute. Sorry to break in. but I just realized that ibm is using mike singletary as an embodiment of intelligence in its football game tv ads. Wtf?
Only if he can coach Winners!
Yeah Singletary has hit rock bottom, cant even get a NFL assistant gig anymore..
Wtf?
Chuck and Chi take an early seat at the back of the bus with this GB cover.
Lezard makes up for his dropped TD earlier with that 58 yard beauty to wrap it up as happy feet Goff just takes the 4th down sack.
surprised Rodgers have him a second chance. Usually he shuns you for the rest of the game if you drop a ball that bad.
kat- Lol, you should be an announcer. that was beautiful.
Pack cover. After one game, on pace for 200.
thank God. I was waiting for this, thank you!!!!!
Chuck needs Buffalo something fierce here…..
Yep a win ties him up with everyone else, a loss and he’s cooked..
oh boy, someone made him mad!
Bills kicker wide right.
balt kicker
While the best FG kicker ever percentage wise misses 2 straight,go figure..
Double doink!
No way this Baltimore/Buffalo game hits the 49.5 over score..
Damn.
Fuck. No Kupp no glory for LA. They neutralized Donald. I thought he would bring much more than nothing.
This game? ZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzz……. My points are fucked as well. Giving money away.
Yeah, baby!!!!! Game got a little better.
Fucking hell.
Wow a 14 point turnaround on a 101 pick 6!
Chuck’s feeling pretty good about now 😂..
Balt is not really a come-from-behind team. But I ain’t jinxing anything.
Chuck I can’t believe u would of picked Rams anyway? Donald was hurt coming in, Goff is Goff who sucks and has broken thumb with 3 pins in it and playing in cold weather where most west coast teams suck at, throw in Kupp out and no chance..
I figured they’d keep it close enough with their defense. At 25 – 18 and LA had the ball in the 4th I felt pretty good.
They look done now, especially if Jackson is out..
Wow. Having problems at the center spot.
Damn. I needed those points. Maybe the Bucs/ saints is a 55-49 affair.
Shit. Balt scores here, the Bills don’t run at all, so they will be hard-pressed toi run the clock out.
Bills letting the Ravens back in the game by laying off the backup.
But they don’t and it’s over for the Ravens as Chuck crawls back into the hunt!
Grand total of 70 points so far. Fuck me.
Dude is looking pretty solid with the lowest total. Dawg missed by 1!!
We’re halfway there. Bills cover. Total points . . . 70, on pace for 140.
With Unca the lone Bills winner, no one will go 4-0.
Yeah Chuck you can move up to the middle of the bus 🚌 now but your going to need some arena football scores tomorrow…
