CD Newsletter Week 12

Long day 

That SF/Minny game is going to be a war. Are there any other 2 teams that need a W to stay in playoff contention worse than these 2?

All aboard the Rams train

 One reason that I don't like that play on the Titans is the article at Football Outsiders last week.

They said how Tennessee and GB were in the top 5 of worst 8-2 teams(by dvoa) since 1983.

They are both now 8-3 

Aaron Rodgers has Covid toe, Lamar Jackson has the AID.

The over in the Wisconsin/St. Mary basketball looks easy.  Houston money line in Maui.

Titans D has been playing better. Solid effort in 4 of their last 5. Only gave up 190 yards last week, albeit to the Texans.

Guessing Tannehill bounces back after throwing 4 picks.

Getting rid of AP and allowing someone who still has some tread on the tires to tote the rock is a great move.

We shall see what happens

@Hugh_Jorgan

 Good points.

I also see that you are backing the Red Rifle.

Best of Luck

Anyone following this Everson Griffen story?

Bears insider/beat reporter Hub Arkish just reported that it was owner George McCaskey who made the call to start Justin Fields. Not Nagy's, there was a reason Nagy got Dalton.

Makes sense, owners usually don't know shit. Fields wasn't ready, he's been dreadful, now he's hurt.

Rumor around of Harbaugh to the Bears after his annual ass kicking by Ohio State this weekend.   

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone. I remember in the late 90's I was living in north Georgia and was living in a small trailer with my wife and baby son while we had a very modest house built on the land we owned. Around 8 AM on Thanksgiving morning, 2 guys showed up to continue some of the interior woodwork on the new house. I walked over and asked "What are you guys doing? It's Thanksgiving." One said " Yeah but it's just another day and the boss wants us here." I said "I'm your bosses' boss and he's going to pay you a week's salary to leave right now." They left and I called the builder on Saturday and straightened that right out. Remember telling him how he worships the golden calf of money and couldn't possibly be a Christian because of it. He did what I demanded and hopefully I gave him a little perspective on what's important.

Sorry for the essay.

Thursday football :

Lions +3.5   Funny how I was quick to grab the spread but didn't commit to the ML. That's usually a bad sign. If I can get Chicago -2.5 I'd take it as a buyout/middle opp.

Cowboys/Raiders Over 50.5   Raiders have the highest probability of pass percentage of the 6 teams playing and they're not winning. Easily my strongest play of the day.

Bills/Saints Under 23 1H. Expect a battle of better defense early on before things might get silly in the 2H.

That's a good story for the holiday season. Thanks for sharing it

As per Warren Sharp ...

Since week 2, the Colts D has played against only 2 above avg pass offenses, and both of those were in terrible weather conditions.

The Colts defense has played the #1 easiest schedule of pass blocking O-lines.

No O-line in the NFL allows less QB pressure than TB's.

The best offensive rookie is La'Marr Chase

The best defensive rookie is Micah Parsons

The best O-Line rookie is Rashawn Slater

Do you know what they have in common?

They all sat out last year

Good stuff guys

You almost ready to put your bird in the oven? BWS is on his way. 

@Getty3

Celebrate responsibly!!

Happy Thanks giving to those who celebrate it, and Happy Thanksgiving to those who don't

Happy Thanksgiving everyone. 

Interesting stat, the Vikings are 5-0 ats as dogs. 3-2 su.

Week 13 look ahead:

Patriots +3.5(-110) *1.10/1.00
