Normally I would do the analysis on every NFL game, but I’m running short on time with Christmas coming up and there just aren’t many good spreads this week.
I hit 4/4 picks last night at THE ONETIMER for 6 units of profit and we’re back in the black in the NHL. Merry Christmas to you if you took down those picks! My NHL mojo is coming back to me, but sometimes you get hot and sometimes you get cold in the NHL. These days, I’m taking more games where I’m giving up the goal-and-a-half for better odds rather than laying down the extra cheddar on the moneyline and I’ve been hitting those picks.
Here is what I like in the NFL this week:
1.) PHILADELPHIA -7 over Denver — Denver is a bit of a fraud. They were killed by the Colts despite Brandon Marshall’s 21 receptions, 200 yards, and 2 TDs, and they just lost home to the RAIDERS. If you lose at home to the Raiders, you are a pretender, not a contender. Yes, the Eagles also lost to the Raiders, but that was in the beginning of the season, and that was when they were on the road I and I said “watch out since the Eagles sometimes play awful when they travel out west.” The Eagles have won 5 in a row now and there’s no reason for them not to make it 6. They’re hot right now and no team plays better December football than the Eagles. The return of Brian Dawkins will be an emotional moment for me. I, of course, am a diehard Eagles fan, so of course I’m picking them.
2.) COLTS -3 over Jets (1st Half Line) — Expect the …
What are the Redskins thinking? They line up in the formation. Giants call a time out. And they try the exact same play. You have the center attempting a delay and no offensive linemen to protect against the Giant’s 3 down lineman, 2 linebackers, and a safety? What are you thinking?
Great to be back! Bowl games are a great opportunity to make a ton of cash as there are a ton of live dogs to be played.
I will have a write for probably all of the bowl games and recommendations.
Wyoming vs Fresno State (-11): for 1 unit. – This Fresno State has played a brutal schedule playing some of the toughest teams in the nation including Cincinnati, Boise State, and a strong Wisconsin team. However, they did lose all three of those games. Plus you factor in the travel schedule and they went from Cincinnati to Hawaii, which had to be grueling on this squad. I think the time off will be a real difference here for Fresno State. Down the stretch this team just looked tired. I love that they have had a couple weeks to rest and get focused for the Bowl game. Another important factor is that most of Fresno State’s players have been in a bowl game before so they will be ready for the media and extra hype and attention that comes with playing in these games. Wyoming is probably one the best college stories of the year. The way they got things turned around and are now in a bowl game is huge. However, that could be their downfall. They may just be happy to be there instead of ready to play one of the best opponents they have played all year long. Wyoming has also been burned by the run all year long and Fresno State has run the ball very well against almost everyone they have played. Lay the points here with Fresno State as they win going away 44-24. I also recommend playing the OVER. L for 1.1 units…
Brandon is back to posting his NCAA basketball picks at THE TRIPLE DOUBLE. He had one game on last night’s card and it was a winner. You can read why he had to take a short absence over there. He has an NBA over/under play tonight. He’ll be back to posting college football during the thick of the Bowl season.…
It was a winning week this past week. We took down some plays on the Packers, Chargers, Eagles, Texans, and Vikings, and had losses with the Saints and Cardinals. No big deal, I’ll take a 5-2 week anytime. Now we’re getting into the thick of the NFL season when things get really exciting.
INDIANAPOLIS COLTS -3 @ JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS
As soon as I saw this spread, I loved it. I said, hold on, did the Colts already clinch home field advantage? And it turns out that they did. I quick news search on Google stated that Peyton Manning and all healthy starts will play this Sunday. I would love taking the Colts if home field was on the line, but with no motivation to really win this one and not knowing how long Peyton will play: a quarter, a half, who knows, I think you stay away from this one. On the other hand, I’m sure the Colts, like the Saints, want to go undefeated. Can you imagine 18-0 Colts vs. 18-0 Saints in the SuperBowl?
Prediction: Colts 24 – Jaguars 20
Free Pick: Colts -3 (Confidence: 2/5)
DALLAS COWBOYS @ NEW ORLEANS SAINTS -7
I am loving this as an Eagles fan. Not only did the Eagles win over the Giants give the Eagles sole possession of the NFC East with 2-straight home games against the 49ers and Broncos, but the Cowboys lost to the Chargers after losing to the Giants and now have to go on the road to face the Saints. Saints are still playing for home field so I think you see them win this one. The Cowboys December woes continue. Get the “Is Wade Phillips getting fired?” talks going. I’m loving this!
You guys know how much I love Brandon Marshall. Not only did I steal him in my draft, but he single-handedly helped me win the big playoff game yesterday thanks to a 21 reception, 200 yard, 2 TD performance. Also, much thanks to DeSean Jackson’s ridiculous performance last night. Here is a video of all 21 receptions by Brandon Marshall.
