CD Newsletter Championship Round

Reality.....Cyrax....

Come on man....

Kellen Moore interviewing for Eagles & Browns OC.

@Getty3

 Two props stood out to me that I played : Justice Hill over 13 receiving yards and Brandon Aiyuk over 73.5 rec yards. Plus I like both of those guys for an anytime TD. 

Aiyuk is money at those numbers and I'd play the anytime TD prop on him as well.  Purdy is going to have a good game throwing the ball, even with Deebo playing more of the decoy role Aiyuk is in for a big game after how quiet he was last week.  

KC has only given up 3 tuddies on the ground all season.  I like Hill's rush/receiving combo prop and his TD prop better than Gus's....Edwards has 12 TDs on the year and majority came as goal line touches.  Spags is very likely to be blitzing at a high % and if last week's Monken adjustments are any indication of how he'll counter the blitz it was the quick passes/screens/dump offs.  

Dave Canales was a qb coach last year. This year he was an offensive coordinator. Now he's the Panthers HC. And the contract is for 6 years. 6 years!

I'm seeing guys move up to through the ranks too fast. Not much of a track record or experience is needed it seems like.

The last guy to move through the ranks this fast was Brandon Staley, and we saw how that worked out.

Every team in the nfl has changed their OC since the 2022 off season. 

In think that there is a lack of coaching experience in the nfl that no one seems to want to talk about.

Smoke & Mirrors in the NFL Playoffs

Since 2019 when the playoffs expanded, teams that won 1/3 or more of their games in which they were OUT-GAINED by yardage but still won the game(Smoke&Mirrors) have a combined record of 5-11 ATS.

This year Philadelphia + Pittsburgh both won 7 games in which they were out-gained. Detroit won 6 games in which they were out-gained.

Philadelphia+Pittsburgh both lost Wild-Card 0-2 ATS.

Detroit won Wild-Card and Divisonal 1-1 ATS.

If a Smoke&Mirrors team advances to Championship Round,they are 0-5 ATS.

PLAY San Francisco - (whatever.)

Is the Bloom fading off the Turd?

Karma will come back to Bite the Ravens

U better hope it doesnt happen Sunday.....

@bigred84

 SB time

@dubz4dummyz

 It doesn't look like it's going to be a blowout.

SF is 30 games over 500 with Deebo in the lineup. 
They are under 500 without him. 
Deebo is no longer on the injury report for the 9ers, and is fully expected to play. 

Post 10 

Tepper has no idea what he's doing. Canales was an old friend of newly appointed GM Dan Morgan and there you go. Don't expect an uptick in Panther wins next year. In fact, just bet the season win total under at anything greater than 4. 

Tomorrow I have to change the oil on my car and my wife's. I've been doing it forever out of responsibility rather than common sense. I do get a feeling of satisfaction when it's done, but it's never easy. It doesn't even save money from taking it to the Kwik-E-Change. It's idiocracy by habitual behavior.

@Getty3

 Great skill to have, maybe you can pass it on but probably will die on the vine.

The cheap oil change is a loss leader for the shops to convince you to replace your wipers, air filter, cabin filter, fuel filter, upgrade the oil filter etc. It's not unlike auto dealers who give you "free" tires for life as long as you check in with them every 3 months for an oil change, fluid inspection, alignment, etc. It's all short term loss for long term gain from the uninformed consumer. Knowledge has great value. But the folks who make a million dollars creating useful software have the last laugh. I'm comfortable with that. It's 2024 not 1984.

3 of the final 4 teams use a fullback regularly. 

@undermysac

That's interesting ... especially in a copycat league

Welcome new guy.

Imma pound the Blueshirts today

When you can use 21 personnel with great blockers like Kittle and Juscyk you basically have 7 offensive linemen (and two of them are eligible receivers).  McCaffrey is great but benefits from that grouping. Belichick was great at it too during the Patriots dynasty. Gronk and the grossly underrated James Develin provided the same dynamic as Kittle and Juice. No better way to keep a blitz heavy defense honest even for a little while. What goes around comes around.

"baum" I can only think of Bruce Baum the comedian who looks like aN AI mashup of Gallagher and David Crosby. However I've dug up this absolute gem of Tom Jones taking over lead vocals for CSN&Y. Fascinating 

@Getty3

Great video! Love that.

How baked were CSNY?

Young looked like a mass murderer

I don't remember shit from the late 70's-early 80's, other than a ridiculous amount of cocaine

@Hugh_Jorgan

Meanwhile Circa the high limit sharp book (along with Westgate) has KC +4.5. "We're begging for a Chiefs bet"

My prediction is that both favorites win but one of them doesn't cover. I'm just not sure who but I'd take KC +4.5 if I could get it. The Swift effect has to be in play. Will the NFL let ugly Lamar upstage Mahomes, Kelce, and the Swifties? I don't know, I may be overestimating the Ravens.

Asking for Shrimp who always has an open minded opinion on them.
