NFL Week 12
SF -9 (-120) vs WAS
Washington is probably as of now the worst team in the league, and one of the worst run orgs in sports. Jay Gruden, the head coach, ripped RGIII on Monday, saying that the QB should worry about just himself (which is correct; RGIII is acting like an entitled douche). Then, the next day, took it back and apologized to RGIII in a press conference (way to win a locker room! DeSean Jackson is thrilled!). Then ownership, who its rumored made him do that, comes out today to say that Gruden is independent and can do what he wants (including benching the QB; I hope he doesn’t. They actually played well when he was under center). SF is a hot mess too, but at least they are talented. As a side note, I took both of these teams’ season unders (SF 10.5, WAS 7.5) so if this game ends in a tie (40-to-1 for those interested), it’s a double win!
TB +6 (-110) at CHI
The Lovie Smith Bowl. Again, this line is way too high, should be CHI +3 to +4.5. FWIW, the line has now moved to +5 (-120) and may end up in the Vegas zone at some point.
ARI at SEA Under 42
It was 41. I think someone wins this game 17-10. Big test to see if Cardinals are for real today.
TEASER (+260):
NE -7.5 (I never knew that Jim Caldwell actually ran the ball on 3rd and 9 from the 31 with 0:24 seconds and NO TIMEOUTS in that crazy Lions/Atlanta game. He said, “it’s not that much of a risk”. WTF! Did he go to the Romeo Crennel school of head coaching? I’ve never played Madden that bad after finishing a bottle of tequila!).
GB -9
SF -9
PHI -11
Thanks to Oakland on Thursday, I was almost as excited as these guys:
