Thursday:

NY Jets +7 -105 (@ Cle)
Anybody remember that the Jets got a whopping 150 yds in penalties last week when almost blowing a 27-7 third quarter lead ? This is National TV tonight. They have nothing to play for except pride. Expect them to wake up and get their acts straight for their families and friends watching around the country like they did in Week 1 on Monday night on national TV when they beat Buffalo 22-16.

 

[skoda]

Maybe if they signed Joe they would be in the playoff picture…
the New York Jets wanted in 2023 was one healthy and productive quarterback. Looking back, the Jets might wish they would have answered when Joe Flacco knocked in September.



Flacco instead played catch with his brother one hour away from the Jets' facility and waited three more months for the Cleveland Browns to call.



And did he ever answer.



Flacco has the Browns (10-5) on the doorstep of an improbable playoff bid and gets a visit from his old team, the Jets (6-9), on Thursday night with a chance to hand-deliver a reminder of what might have been for the beleaguered New York franchise.



Beat the Jets, and the Browns can clinch a spot in the playoffs.

1st half is my play
over 16 1/2

24-3 final

BOL…

 

[Michelangelo]

Just be careful of Flacco getting a little brave with the ball in trying to prove something. That could result in turnovers.

Good luck, skoda.

Saturday:

Det +4' -104 (@ Dal)

 

[skoda]

On the ML........ Hang on! Lost on the over in 1st 1/2... BOL to us

 

[Michelangelo]

Hope you got it, skoda. They shoulda won outright if it wasn't for a reporting screw up on the two pointer. OR if Campbell had kicked the damned FG early in the game which he should have. These coaches today piss me off when they pass on FGs in close games for fourth downs when they did nothing with the first three downs. Dumb fucks all over the league.

 

[Michelangelo]

Sunday starter:

Patriots +14 +102 (@ Buff)
Bailey Zappe is 3-0 SU and ATS in his Patriot road starts. In all three wins the Pats were lined as dogs. +2' @ clev in 2022; +6 @ Pit in 2023; and +7' at Denver in 2023. This team hasn't quit. They are going to need to win the turnover battle. Both Cook and Allen are vulnerable to turnovers.

M. Angelos.....BOL with all your action my friend....
you and your family have a great New Year.......
may it be safe and profitable........indy

 

[Michelangelo]

Add:

Chicago -3 +100 (vs Atl)
Atlanta is 2-4 SU; 2-4 ATS on the road this year. The Bears are 4-0 SU; 3-0-1 ATS their last four at home. Fields is playing for his future in Chicago. The D is improved since their trade with Washington for two more rushers. Bears claw Falcons.

Right back at ya, Indy.

 

[exploited17]

Bills 0-6 ats last 6 as DD favorite
GL
Finish strong.

 

[Michelangelo]

Add:

Jacksonville -4 +101 (vs Car)
Carolina is 0-8 on the road this year. After consecutive games against tough guys, Cincy, Clev, Balty, and Tampa in their last four Jax gets to step down to where they can get a much needed win. Beathard (yea Beathard) should ignite the spark that had disappeared under golden boy, Lawrence.

 

[Michelangelo]

Bills 0-6 ats last 6 as DD favorite
GL
Finish strong.

Thanks, exp. Let's get them to 0-7. Good luck today.

Add:

Arizona +13 -110 (@ Philly)
What's wrong with Philly? Five straight non covers. How about a -7 turnover differential. As stinky as they are the Cardinals have a -1 turnover differential, including a +3 road differential. Kyler Murray, like Justin Fields, is playing for his future. Too many points.

 

[Michelangelo]

Baltimore -3 -113 (vs Mia)
Sure, normal teams could easily let down here after beating most people's number one team in San Francisco last week. But Balty is not a normal team. They are 9-1 over their last ten games. Do you really think they will let down against a team, Miami, who beat them in both 2022 and 2021?

 

[Michelangelo]

Add:

LA Rams -6' -104 (@ NYG)
The Rams haven't scored less than 24 points in their last ten games. The Giants have scored a grand total of 2 TDs in Tyrod Taylor's two starts this year @ Buff and home to Wash. Barkley is the G men's best weapon. The Rams have allowed one team to run for more than 100 yds in their last six games. That was when they went to overtime at Baltimore and Lamar ran for 70 of the 139 rushing yds Balty put up.

Add late Sunday afternoon:

Pittsburgh +4' -108 (@ Sea)
Ride Rudolph. Ride. Christmas ain't over.

Kansas City -7 -105 (vs Cincy)
The Chiefs allowed not one, but two defensive TDs last week. Things are pretty much at the breaking point there. It's time for every friggin body on that team to be pissed.

 

[Michelangelo]

Add Sunday night:

Green Bay +1 -109 (@ Minny)
Payback. Minny got the first one with Kirk Cousins going down near the end of the game in Week 8. Tonight it's rookie fifth rounder Jaren Hall against a settled in Jordan Love. Give me the "veteran".

Nice day today for you, lets keep it rolling with the Packers tonight!
