Week 9 best bets.

I made a little money last night on the under and Steelers ATS. Let's hope it continues on Sunday. 3 games I like a lot

Saints minus 7.5 vs. Bears. Saints have messed me up a couple times this season but I cannot see how they don't decimate, arguably the worst team in the NFL, at home. 🔒🔒🔒🔒🔒
Colts minus 2.5 at Panthers. The Panthers got their one win last week and while the Colts have been a disappointment at 3-5 so far, they are clearly the better team here. Taylor will run all over the Panthers. 🔒🔒🔒🔒
Giants/Raiders under 37.5. New coach & starting QB for Raiders and the Giants have a surprisingly stingy defense. Jones may be back under center but it doesn't matter. I see the Giants running the ball a ton which will milk the clock. 🔒 🔒 🔒 🔒
I like your last bet the most, NYG/LV are 7-1 & 6-2 on UNDER games ( 87.5/75%) . . . 1699028896720.png

McDaniels is a bad coach.
And not an honourable man. The Colts hired him as head coach and then he reneged on the deal last minute, leaving them in the lurch. TBH, maybe the Colts got lucky on that one.

He'll never be a head coach again.

The lens is coming into focus and this appears to be my rankings thus far:

Tier 1:

1) Ravens - no deficiencies found. Unless a team can find way or personnel to stop the juggernauts of the Ravens offense and defense, it's game over.
2) Chiefs - inexplicable performance in some games,
3) Eagles - question marks on defence

Teir 2:

4) Cowboys - question mark on defence. Prescott still has not been able to take the team past the opposing team's one year line and into the endzone when it matters most.
5) Niners - Brock Purdy's limitations are being exposed.
6) Jags - have had erratic performances

Tier 3:

7) Bengals - Joe Cool back and cool again. Can the O-line protect him against a Ravens, Steelers front 7?
8) Lions - Defence lacking. Unable to pressure opposing QB when facing a big and strong opposing O-line.
>>>> Bills - problems everywhere
9) Phins - defensive question marks. Erratic offense. Good vs bad teams; bad against good teams
10) Steelers - Pickett, Pickett, Picket.
11) Browns - Deshaun, Deshaun, Deshaun

Tier 4)

12) Jets - When and if Rodgers get back, they eventually move into tier 2 territory.
13) Seahawks - Geno Smith good, but limited. D-line exposed against strong opposing O-line

Was the omission of the Bills intentional?

How good is Jalen Hurts really?

The Eagles have the best OL in the NFL. The quarterback sneak told the story. The Eagles OL pushed the Cowboys defense six feet into the end zone, Jalen Hurts could have skipped in to score,

Defense, defense, defense. They pitched a shutout.

I think it's going to come down whoever gets hot at the right time.
Great defense, who did they shutout?

Great defense, but even the staunchest of defenses cannot counteract a QB playing poorly and prone to mistakes on a consistent basis.

I know it's only week 9, but watching/following a lot of the important matchups, SF and BUF have a hard time playing without a lead. A lot of teams down 2 scores and you know they have the firepower to rally back.

Buffalo has a real tough schedule coming up in the next 5 weeks, I'm not sure they can make a wildcard spot . . . 😲 :unsure:
This was a throwaway hedge ticket and it's still alive. . . no way ? 😲 :)

I'm watching on a delayed PVR and it's 15-8 Den at halftime.

Buff got booed off at the half. If they lose they are only5-5.

Last play of the BUF vs DEN game sums up Buffalo's year and wild card chances. Prior to the game at about 40%, today 20%, even LAC's chances are at 28%. UGH ! Seven games left, the only game they have a chance of winning is vs the Jets and it's possible that they lose out ! 😲:mad:

They fired their offensive coordinator today, Dorsey. Evidently a former Argo. LOL

I read the Bills have given up on this year and looking forward. I've never heard of a team throw up their hands at 5-5. Diggs brother is still trying to influence Stefon to jump ship. Another game he played the decoy to get other WR's/TE's the ball. Come on, $ 24MM per year and 34 yards net.

I guess because the Bills have the 3rd toughest schedule in the NFL, going forward. For example, the Bills still have to play the Eagles, Chiefs and Cowboys etc

I'm so old I was going to suggest you were mistakenly thinking of Dean Dorsey, but as usual you were right.
