After two mortuary stink weeks the stinkers came up roses last week. That was last week.

Thursday:

Denver -9 -104 (vs SDo)

This line stinks like the poop of a dead fish. Everybody knows that San Diego got ambushed at home last week by junior Div rival, Kansas Shitty, while looking ahead to the Division Big Dog, Denver. But are they good enough to go into Mile High (is that what they call it these days?) and compete?

Here are some numbers:

Rivers on the road to Azo; Buff; Oak
6 TDs to 1 int

San Diego D to same weak competition
5 sacks and 3 turnovers gained

Peyton home to Indy; KCy; Azo; SFo
14 TDs to 2 ints

Denver D to same pretty tough competition
14 sacks and 3 turnovers gained

I've got San Diego ranked #3 in pass D in the NFL but that ranking came against weak compretition - Carson Palmer; Russell Wilson; EJ Manuel; Blake Bortles; Geno Smith; David Carr; and Alex Smith. See anybody in there to come close to rivaling Peyton as a pure passing QB? See anybody with the stable of receivers that Peyton has? Me either.

Throw in a resurgent run game since Ronnie Hillman got the start two weeks ago.

Think Peyton puts up 35-40 here. Can the Bolts keep up? Rivers hasn't seen a pass rush like DeMarcus Ware and Von Miller. Think his turnovers bloat tonight.

So I'm thinking that Big Dog Denver holds the hill tonight.

First one in the bank.

Sunday

Buffalo +3 -119 (@ NYJ)
These Beefalos have to be embarrassed to be dogs to Geno Smith. Think their underrated D will win this game today. Prove me wrong, Geno.

Cincinnatti +2' +111 (vs Bal)
It's only Week 8 and this is the Bengals season. AJ Green, or no AJ Green, the team that played the first three weeks better show up today.

St Louis +7' +106 (@ KCy)
Anybody thinking that after games vs Denver, Miami, New England, Frisco, and San Diego, that the Chiefs might mentally and physically relax and get ready for their crosstown brothers with the white seamed ball tonight?

Jacksonville +7 -110 (vs Mia)
What Jacksonville has is a Defense. This is the Battle of Florida. At least it is to the Jags. Expect them to hang tough with their crossstate rivals.

Tennessee +3' -108 (vs Hou)
Anybody notice last week what a clusterf.. this Houston team, is? Metzenfetzenburger can't be any worse than the meatball sandwiches who preceded him, Locker and Whitehurst.

Tampa Bay -2' -102 (vs Min)
We're at Week 8 and Minny has 10 total TDs. I know Tampa sucks, but maybe they suck just a field goal less than the suckers who are coming to town today.

That's it for now.

Pittsburgh +4 -105 (vs Indy)
Hey this is the 21 points in two minutes team hosting America's new favorite team. I'll take Big Old Wiley Ben and Antonio Brown and the Bell with the first name of Le'Veon. Which kid had to be tougher growing up, Le'Veon or Luck?

Wilson ain't black enough. Yea right. Any other complaints, girls? Seattle was on an 18-4 run 'till the last two weeks. Carolina was on a 13-1 regular season run 'till four weeks ago.

I'll take the home team getting points who is out to revenge a 12-7 loss to these Shehawks that set them off on their SB run in last season's opening game.

Seattle to Carolina for a racially distrustful team has got to be an I'd rather not right now moment. Carolina, meanwhile, has been digging in all week to salvage their season

Green Bay +2' -107 (@ NOr)

Sorry, but this isn't the Heavenly Saints that went 8-0; 7-0-1 at home last year. They were 4-4; 4-4 at home in 2012; and have the look of 4-4; 4-4 again this year. Let's see the Aints are 0-4; 1-3 on the road this year. They clearly stink there. And are 2-0; 1-1 at home this year. The two teams they beat? None other than the bottomfeeders who went into overtime today where the first incompetence decided the game - Tampa and Minny. Is Green Bay in the class of those two nincompoops? Naw. Cheese over Breese.

Dallas -9 -102 (vs REDSKINS)

I know, Tony Romo is a homo. Wrong. Tony Romo is the man. All Tony Romo needed was to know that he doesn't need to win the game by himself. He was thinking like Tony Homo in Game 1 when he threw three picks. Since he realized that he has the help of the best running game in the NFL, Tony Romo has been everything you would want in your QB. 13 TDs to 3 picks. And there shouldn't be much pressure on him from the Washington D. Take out the 10 sack game against Jax in Game two and Wash has only 6 sacks in 6 games with 6 turnovers gained in all 7 games. That ain't gonna get it done in a league where the team with the best in game turnover margin wins close to 90% of the games. Colt McCoy? 11/12 for 128 yds; 1 td; 0 int. Pretty impressive. Well take out the 70 TD to Pierre Garcon and you're left with 10/11 for 58 yds. That's 5.8 YPP. Ask Thomas what that stat means. Not good. So McCoy's numbers last week were certainly deceptive.

Lastly, if there isn't enough fundamental evidence there to support the Cowpokes at home I'll add in the dagger I just lookled up. Dallas in "spotlight games" is 3-3 SU and ATS over the past two years. Nothing to define anything there. But how 'bout this. Wash in "spotlight games" over the past two years is 0-7 both SU and ATS. Yep. 0 wins and 7 freakin' losses both straight up and against the spread.

Cowpokes roll.
