NFL Week 17

Sad day; it will be the last time this year I get to bet on shitty professional football teams.

New Orleans -4 (now at -5)

Tampa has to lose today, right?  If they lose, I think they get the #1 pick.  Lovie Smith not laying down here to get that pick is a fireable offense, IMO.

Green Bay -7 (now at -7.5)

Lions are missing their center Dominic Raiola today (because he’s the dirtiest player in the league and got suspended before the biggest game of the year), and I get to bet against Matthew Stafford and Jim Caldwell with Aaron Rodgers.   The Lions last win in Green Bay? 1991, with Mike Tomczak at QB.

Seattle -12 and in Teaser with Under 41.5

If they win today, they get the #1 seed.  We have Seattle at 13/2 to win the NFC, and if they get homefield, they’ll have a great chance to go back to the Super Bowl.  The only team with any chance to beat them in that building are the Cowboys (I can’t believe I just typed that).  They beat them early this year and have a huge advantage against Seattle’s weakness: they can be run on (Dallas has a great O-Line and D.Murray at RB).

Baltimore -14

Big line, but Cleveland apparently were out partying last night, thanks to our boy Johnny Manziel.  Josh Gordon and Justin Gilbert are out today (hungover) and South Carolina’s Connor Shaw (who can’t pass, but can run), starts.  Mike Pettine has lost his team 5 weeks too late for us Cleveland under bettors.

Fun prop bet: So Chase Daniel is starting today for KC at home vs SD.  Alex Smith hasn’t throw a touchdown to a Wide Receiver……..ALL YEAR.  Do you know how hard that is?  In either case, I am taking these props:

Dwayne Bowe Catches TD +250

Bowe First TD 12/1

Albert Wilson* First TD 14/1

*I have no fucking idea who this guy is.

I might also take the Titans +7.5; Indy resting everybody today.
