3 out of 3 answers say take the points with the G Men.

CommTiger you going to make it unanimous?

and do your Dirty Birds cover the TD tomorrow?

I would have to say Arizona is my favorite play.

My second favorite is a somewhat easy win for the Buccaneers.

 

I will add two games

Miami and the mess of points +9.5 v NE

Atlanta covers the 7 v NOrleans

 

4 team parlay

Miami +9.5

ATL -7

Arizona -6

Tampa -4.5

Giants +7. They may rest Eli and OBJ, but they don't rest the defense much, unless a guy is nicked up.

I'll take NE -9.5. Defense does not give up points. Pats playing for home field advantage, while Miami is #6 regardless.

Saints +7. Falcons among the worst pass defenses. Payton opens up the playbook to say, "You're going to miss me when I'm gone". Drew Brees TD reception?

 

BTW - Saw an interesting factoid: Dez Bryant to Jason Witten will be the only TD pass thrown by a left-hander this season. There is not one left-handed QB on any roster. Ken Stabler, Jim Zorn, Steve Young... where did the crafty left handers go?

 

what? you left out Boomer "Terrapin" Esiason? lol Vick and Brunell were good too.

I'll be the odd man out and take the redskins covering.

 

And Falcons cover but just barely. I'm thinking like 10 or so

NFL Week 17

Sideline distractions

It's like this around here

Niners cleaning house…..I like it, praise the Lawd. But unfortunately Jed and his partner in crime Paraag Maranthe are leading the search……lets hope the two blind mice find something this time.

Jed sure seems to be making a mess of things. I went to the game against the Cardinals last year. Brand new stadium seemed far from full; forget exactly what I paid for the club seats, but it was way less than face value. 3 different coaches in 3 years just screams "terrible ownership".

You got that right. I used to think the Yorks just cared about the bottom line, but now think that Jed does indeed want to win, but he's just totally incapable and incompetent. The Yorks need a legit football mind to assist or run the show. Well see who they tag this go round and hopefully get back on track. The hard part is, they have made the atmosphere in SF so toxic with all the leaks and backstabbing stemming from Harbaugh years until now that Im not sure a quality candidate would voluntarily come and choose SF. But then again, there are only 32 jobs in the world to be a NFL hc so hopefully its not too much of a turnoff.

 

I catch a game every year when I go back and visit family and I miss Candlestick every time since they moved to Levis. The new stadium is beautiful and awesome, but its just not the same feeling. Crowds have thinned for sure depending on opponent, but the hard part is the tickets and PSLs are already paid for so the Yorks get all their cash regardless of attendance. But again, hoping this go around we get a nice combo and can start building back up to getting back to competing.

Draftkings lineups were hard to set this week

[CrabDaddy]

Ravens blew it today. Offense moved the ball well, but failed on key plays. Defense was awful.

It looked like they kept with the same game plan instead of trying anything new or getting more looks from players, notably Dixon and Perriman. Don't think Flacco threw a deep ball all day (but didn't see a big chunk of the 2nd half). Disappointing way to finish the season.

 

So, Tom Savage left the Texans game w/a concussion. What to do in Houston? It's not like Savage played well in either game he started. At least they don't have to travel for their first round playoff loss.

 

[2putttom]

McGloin off to a rough start. Then there's Pixie and Dixie out there with their shenanigans

[CommerceTiger]

Matt Ryan for MVP!!!

[2putttom]

Great now McGloin is banged up.......Cook hasn't taken a snap all season :fie:

[CommerceTiger]

Ryan : 17-19 235 yards and 4 tds at the HALF!!

[bubbagump]

Dammit browns……had the #1 pick sweat for a bit there until they coughed up their chance to win…….Oh well. Ill take Baalke and Kelly being fired at least.

[CrabDaddy]

Matt Ryan for MVP!!!

Making his case with that first half.

 

 

Redskins need to win to make it into the playoffs, don't they? Maybe Eli & Co will sit out the 2nd half.

[chickenpotpie]

Lions backing into the playoffs...told you on the Giants + points pick!

[bubbagump]

hahahahhahahahh skins. I feel that sealed the deal on Cousins leaving as well……we shall see

[chickenpotpie]

Really hoping the Lions win...I'd like to see them get a 2nd crack at the Giants but at home this time. Going to Seattle seems like a tough row to hoe

[CommerceTiger]

Feel bad for people who bet on the Falcons covering. Game was totally in hand the entire game and they backdoored the spread

[CrabDaddy]

Giants +7. They may rest Eli and OBJ, but they don't rest the defense much, unless a guy is nicked up.

Thank you, Drew Brees! LOL!

 

Thought the Skins would take it to OT, but that was an awful INT by Cousins.

Giants have won 9 of last 11. Hold the Redskins to 10 at DC(ish). If you're Packers or Lions, would you rather face Seahawks in Seattle or NYG at home? Yeah, you want the home game, but the Giants' defense makes you think about it.

Ouch didn't see that. SVP will have fun with that one.

[knock it close]

Well Kubiak is retiring, will be interesting to see what direction Elway and co. go.

 

I think they go after Kyle Shanahan, and then maybe bring in Mike as an advisor or something

Payton+Brees to Denver.

There has been Shanny rumors to SF for a few seasons now, since when they hired Tomsula. Im not sure elder Mike would go back to the Broncos.

 

I was thinking that I wouldn't rule out Elways Stanford connection and maybe a sneaky hire of a Shaw in Denver.

I know they liked the now DC in Miami before the ultimately went with Kubiak so he is probably the favorite.

There have been 9 seasons in which a QB threw for 5000 yards. FIVE of them by Drew Brees!

Manning - 1

Brady - 1

Marino - 1

Stafford - 1

Brees - 5

Amazing!

[bscinstnct]

Man, Rogers can sling the ball.
