Miracle Covers

A new podcast, Week 12 NFL & CFL Coupe de Grey

Hey ya’ll! New pod from the godfather of miraclecovers, Lou, and I as we discuss the Raiders’ chances of making the wild card, why settling for the tie is good, why Philip Rivers is really bad, the shocking sacking of Pochettino at Spurs, and finally Sean’s yearly anticipated spectacle that is the CFL Coupe de Grey pick (also at the bottom of this column).

Happy Thanksgiving Podcast and NFL Picks

Happy Thanksgiving everybody! Podcast #3 is out, and me and Lou have a lot (of hilarious fail) to talk about since we last chatted. Also some NHL thoughts, and we end the show on a positive note talking about the US Soccer team, who somehow had a worse week than the guys painting the MLS field in Montreal.

Here are my NFL plays for Turkey Day; actual good games! First time since 1975 that all teams involved have a winning record, and the best overall winning record b/t combined teams since 1995.

Minnesota +3

Vikings are getting healthy on defense (Harrison Smith is a biggie) and Zimmer has weathered the storm. Their offensive line is still terrible, but the Detroit defense is equally as bad. Lou saved me money back talking me off the Detroit Under 7.5, and now they are favorites going into this game to win the NFC Central at -120. I think this will be a close game, and with all of the missed extra points lately (Over is at 6 on Bovada +100 for this weekend; I probably take it), someone probably wins this game by one point between these flawed, average teams.

Pittsburgh -3

I got this on Monday as I thought it should of been -4.5 before the Andrew Luck news that he’s out with a concussion! Wisconsin’s Scott Tolzien starts; he played a little at Green Bay but I think the line jumping to -9…and then back down to -7.5 is accurate. The big stat here: Steelers’ QB Ben Roethlisberger is 2-0 in his last games vs Indy with amazing offensive fantasy results. The Steelers are getting healthy on offense and I like them on the road here. I also recommend teasing them if the line gets to -7.

Washington +7 (-120)

The Washington Football Team has been one of the best teams ATS this year, and Kirk Cousins has been on fire the last few weeks. He’s really streaky when it comes to his play (probably due to his inaccuracy). Dallas has played well but I don’t think their defense is any good and now with Washington being able to run the ball and having TE Reed back, maybe they play keep away vs Dak and crew as supposed to the other way around when these two first met. This is a rivalry game as well, so records usually get thrown out the door and I expect a close, fun game here.
