Buffalo Wild Wings
There’s one game a year I like to speculate a big upset on, and this year it’s Buffalo +3.5 and the Money Line +165 versus Kansas City.
The Chiefs are undefeated, but also have played mostly a cupcake schedule. Their defense is legit (and healthiest out of all of the AFC contenders) but their offense is really craptastic. They don’t turn the ball over and Alex Smith manages the game very well. They also are experts at having 3-and-outs after their defense gets a turnover. They should, however, give Denver a good run for their money in the AFC West just because their secondary is top 3 in the league.
I, like Darts, was rooting for the Chiefs to win last week so that they would be undefeated going into this game. They play the Broncos next week, so the “overlook a week” alert is in effect. Buffalo plays tough at home and can make big plays (they give them up too, as told by Lou’s bad beat story).
Now if I can only just get Gus Johnson to call the game, I’d bet the future house on it:
San Diego at Washington Over 51
If I was a defensive coordinator, I would play this tape to my team to demonstrate how NOT to tackle. Also going to throw this in a teaser with New Orleans -6
Baltimore -3 (+110)
Road Favorites are 60% ATS since 2000 coming off of a bye. Jason Campbell made us some money last week (via a teaser, thank you South Carolina Gamecock K Ryan Succop). And we’re gambling……
If Percy Harvin is active this week, I might also take Seattle -17 at home versus Tampa. I just don’t see how Tampa scores in that building, especially without Doug Martin.
We leave you with this excellent video from over at Barstool Sports on various cell phone videos taken of people losing their shit at bars around the country when the Red Sox won the 2013 World Series (and I won $215 after clinching our “No manager or player will get thrown out” prop):
