Is there anything I would be more thankful for than the Lions being 86'd off of T-Day Yes...
When the NFL gets the brains to [U]NOT[/U] schedule the Raiders as a participant in the follow-up game!
Pathetic.
However, there is a silver lining in the schedule this week; as I think this is a great opportunity for a monster teaser payday (a lot of faves in possible letdown spots).
4 team 7-pt teaser:
Denver +12
Houston +10.5
Chicago +17.5 (I can't believe Brett Farve is 9-1! I wrote him off after his NFC "regress to the mean" implosion vs BaGIANT'S G-men in the conference finale (throwing with reckless abandonment).
KC +20.5
And after that hits (hopefully), I'm doubling down on everything I won last week with my NE 1st half bet I won on vs the Jets with New Orleans' "Super Bowl" part one (sorry I didn't post it (NE -7) but I was working long hours to meet a timeline) . This game is so much bigger for the saints than it is for NE, in my opinion. (Just another game for Big Game Tom & Co.)
Furthermore, NE's D isn't nearly as good as it was in their SB years, and I think Drew Brees will exploit it.
NO's -1 or 1.5--but I think this line will go down before it goes up.
I'm locked and loaded ready to go, and I will be at my favorite stomping grounds, SMC (Spirit Mountain Casino), watching the Big Game; and if I lose the bet...I will be by my ole friend, the red, white and blue $100 slot machine as a bailout backup. ;)
Good luck guys and have a great Thanksgiving dinner with your loved ones.
