🏈🏈🏈 “To BEt, or not to BEt, that is the question” ...Fubah2's risky bets

@fubah2

Good luck to your playoff runs!  

So,  former QB in good standing who made insulting remarks on TV directed at a night show host is now said to be REMOVED from the ESPN talk show where he has been a mainstay all season.

Additionally to Rogers being ousted from a popular ESPN show,

Pete Carroll removed as Seahawks coach and

now Belicheck from Patriots.

With star edge rusher T.J. Watt (19 sacks!!)  OUT for Steelers I'm leaning more heavily to BUFFY at home but they have some injuries too where I hope to see their status upgraded first before grabbing the ML bet.

Baker Mayfield limited on Friday, ailing from two injuries (ribs and ankle)

Of course he'll play......but how effective will be after taking hits in those areas?

And we have to know, the Eagles D will surely be aware that if they can get to Mayfield and hit very hard, they likely knock him out and cruise to victory.

OR....maybe Mayfield will get lucky and escape tweaking those two separate injuries.

Star TE for Detroit, Sam LaPorta is questionable for Sunday, but much just like Baker Mayfield

LIONS takes a hit without him, but how effective will he be even trying to play on a bad knee against a very aggressive Rams D?

Jalen Hurts suffered a badly dislocated finger last Sunday to his throwing hand.

They say he is good to go but...

RAMS TE Higbee is questionable with an ailing shoulder. They need that inside presence to reduce pressure on their star wideouts.

GL this weekend 

Jacobs, Mitchell, Raymond all OUT for Lions.

   Eagles star WR AJ Brown
       Not expected to play Monday!

January 13, 2024
Brown (knee) is not expected to play Monday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

The Eagles haven't officially ruled out Brown, but multiple reports suggest the Pro Bowl wideout will be unavailable to play in the wild-card matchup against the Buccaneers come Monday.
Once he's inevitably ruled out, expect the likes of DeVonta Smith and Dallas Goedert to be the team's primary focus from a passing perspective, with Julio Jones, Olamide Zaccheaus and Quez Watkins all factoring in as ancillary pieces.

Big blow but this was expected given the extent of his injury last Sunday

Eagles @BUCS
Curious.
Two teams seemingly headed in opposing directions.
The Bucs started poorly. After 11 games just 4 - 7 and seemingly destined to miss the playoffs
Compared to the Eagles who at 10 - 1 looked primed for a repeat SB run!
      But then it all changed...
We've all witnessed the Eagles slide, shaking our heads in collective disbelief, I'm sure.
Their past 6 games have been a total disaster, actually going from bad to pathetic!
Just 1 - 5 for -65 pt. diff (they were 10 - 1 for +70 before that!)
They still had a good chance to win the NFC East by winning their final two games, starting a couple games ago when, playing ON HOMEFIELD where they were 6 - 1, they faced the weakass Cardinals (3 - 12 for -128 pt diff, only 1 - 7 as a roadie) David vs Goliath. Goliath badly wanting the win to set up a division crown! Goliath was a -12.5 home fav! Goliath loses!
Remarkably, they still had an outside shot at the crown the following week to end the reg season at the weakass Giants (5 - 11 for -158 pt diff) Again as a fav, the Eagles lose badly.
As a result of their recent failures, they blow a HOME playoff game and the once proud Eagles limp into the playoffs in despair and are forced to take to the road.
Worse, the Eagles may have lost much more than all that!
Their superstar WR A.J. Brown (106 catches; 5th in NFL) limped off with a painful knee injury vs NYG and has been unable to practice all week. He is VERY questionable, and likely out with some nobody to replace him!
      And QB Jalen Hurts badly dislocated the middle finger on his throwing hand! It is a serious concern, but he will suit up.
Then just look at the array of injuries on the Eagles D, esp their sec!! OMG! Bad news!
      Meanwhile,
the BUCS have been getting better and peaking for the playoffs. They flipped the switch to an impressive 5 - 1 for +38 pt diff their past 6 games (Eagles collapsing to 1 - 5 for -65 past six games) Recent performances matter much more than a resume for the entire season!
And BUCS are the HOME team!!
      Even better, this surging BUCS squad gets the glorious chance to redeem themselves from an embarrassing 11 - 25 homefield loss to these same Eagles in week 3! And they get them at the perfect time, when the Eagles are both hurting and in a prolonged struggle even against weakass teams!
      And even better than all that, the BUCS get +3 pts on homefield!!!
Haha. Boy-oh-boy those oddsmakers in Vegas sure are stupid!
Can you believe it? They are favoring the wrong team!! Hahahahahaha.
Yep. Idiot oddsmakers! So stupid. The home dog line is a free gift!!

...One might even say:     "it looks too good to be true"

intresting writeup fubah    thanks

Lucky Steelers Playoff game @BUFFALO moved to Monday 4:30 ET!

January 13, 2024
Due to a snowstorm in Buffalo, Allen and the Bills will now meet the Steelers on Monday afternoon instead of Sunday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

It's a bizarre situation where there will now be two playoff games on a Monday, but the league couldn't risk having a game at the regularly scheduled time due to emergency conditions in Buffalo. The development might actually benefit those using anyone in the passing game for either team, as the snow and high winds may have been so nasty Sunday that any sort of successful attack through the air would have been very difficult to achieve.

Unfortunately for the Lucky Steelers, who've been riding lucky breaks all year much like the Vikings did last year, the one day move still won't get them back their SUPERSTAR pass rusher, TJ Watt

Thanks FUSE, you rascal   BoL with your bets today!!

  PACKERS  excellent RB AJ Dillon is doubtful

@fubah2

 any thoughts on todays games ?  

i was thinking texans over the clowns

Working on it

I take it you feel Stroud can lead his team past a veteran like Flacco?

ya   that and walking injured on clowns
