Any season in the black is something to celebrate when you're up against the NFL and the juice!
Like the Browns but a little leary of the Fish in icy climes.
Good Luck and stay in the winning column.
Cheers!

Thanks, man. I think, contrary to popular wisdom, that the weather in Kansas City is so cold that it's an equalizer. Have you ever tried to do anything outside in those temperatures? Both the bones and the mind freeze. Things don't work the way they are supposed to. Kansas City is no more prepared for that than Miami.

Good luck today, Selectrick.

Leaning Texans +3 but not sure yet.
Reasoning behind Browns?

Totally agree with this. Cold is cold. Each team has to deal with it, and it affects each team the same.

Thei Clev D is ferocious. I think they will cause rookie Stroud problems. Amari Cooper tore them up the first time. He has been resting for three weeks since. The Clev O line is superior. Joe Flac should have plenty of time to launch his bombs. Good luck, exp.

 

[LonghornMM]

Look for Njoku to have a big game today. Love him over 59 1/2 rec yds.

Hope you stuck with Houston, exp. Boy was I wrong.

Me too. Makes me wonder what metric they used to rank Cleveland #1 defense?

Trash on the road.
I believe I read somewhere ranked 32nd on the road.

 

[Michelangelo]

That Clev D sure was "trash on the road" exp. And Miami had all the excuses they wanted (on the road; too cold) and they took advantage of them. Beach pussies! Needless to say I was wrong as wrong to be yesterday. Moving on.

Green Bay +7 -105 (@ Dal)
Dallas is great at home vs shit teams but has shown they can be challenged by anybody any good. That would include this Green Bay team who played Dallas to OT last year. I don't see why we don't get the same kind of game here. We saw CJ Stroud do the same thing in yesterday's playoff game as he has done aoll season. We've got another young QB here in Jordan Love. JL only threw 1 int in his last eight games against 16 TDs. That Dallas D can be had and I think JL will take advantage.

GBy / Dallas Over 51' -108

U got that wish...

Yea, I hope they passed out 93,000 crying towels at the entry gate. That's how many pissed off Dallas fans paid to get into this mess.

Nice day M

Thanks, Johnny. 38 points at halftime in the Ram / Lion game and they couldn't get 15 in the second half! That busted the perfect day. Can't get them all. We know that, right, Johnny.

Monday:

Pit +10 -110 (@ Buff)
TBy +3 -112 (vs Philly)

Looking squarely at one statistic to make these selections. Turnover differential

Pit +11
Buff +2

Philly -10
TBy +8

Big difference in both games and both of the teams who are superior in the turnover department are dogs. Easy.!
