Just curious, how do you see the rest of the Lions season going? Can they run the table?
Its plausible but there are 4 tough opponents after this week - Green Bay week 14, Buffalo week 15, SF week 17 and Minnesota to close out the season. Odds are they lose at least one of those games.
The key for them is to keep both those RB's healthy.

My best bet of the week is:

Dallas +7 over Philly. Dallas is a home divisional dog with the spread being between 7 and 10.
2nd best is Denv +7.5. Divisional dog between 7 and 10 and the spread came down 2 points.
OK we'll see. I understand the logic but I wouldn't be confident putting any money on the Boys right now. They are sucking big time.

Neither do I, but I can only follow my historical trends. They are what they are. But which teams are involved and how they've been playing are irrelevant to me. It's all about how Vegas has performed.

I'm gonna PM you with my data.

Good luck with your bets this weekend.

KC finds another way to win today. They block a Denver field goal on the last play of the game that would have put the Broncos ahead.

Good teams find a way to win, even if they're not at their best.

As of this morning the player with the third most rushing yards in the NFL is Canadian Chuba Hubbard(born in Edmonton). If he stays healthy he's on pace for well over 1,000 yards. Go Chuba!!!!

TBH, 1,000 yards is not the benchmark it once was.

Jim Brown era. 1,000 yards in 12 games is 82.5 yards/gm.
Today. 1,000yards in 17 games is 58.8 yards/gm.

But being third overall in the league is pretty cool.

But will he loses the carries once Brooks is healthy? Carolina has nothing to play for and they drafted Brooks early, they might want to see what he has........

Commies is a better name for the Washington football team than the fuckin Commanders.

Dak Prescott sustain the Roberto Baggio injury.

Lions put an absolute beat down on the Jaguars today. 52-6. I didn't bet that one.
I had the Rams over the Patriots minus 5 and they just barely covered.
I had the Dolphins over the Raiders that was a pretty easy call. The Fins offense is finally starting to click.
Unfortunately, I also had the Ravens minus 3. Really thought they would make a statement in Pittsburgh today. But the Steelers D stepped up and limited the big plays. Steelers won the game 18-16 and their offense didn't score a TD.

Big game for the Bengals tonight. Its a must win for them on the road against the Chargers. Their defense somehow is going to need to step up and get some pressure on Herbert. I do like the game to go over 48.5.

Detroit is looking strong and I would love to see them win it all.

Watched the Ravens/Steelers game today. Usually a close game and always very spirited. Wish they would have had a better announcing team covering it. The Ravens missed a couple of filed goals and seemed out of sync, however Pitts defense will do that. Hard to believe that was the first divisional game for the Steelers as those are usually tough games. 5 out of their last 7 games are divisional and in the other two they face the Chiefs and Eagles. That is a tough schedule going forward.

Looking at stats, the Chargers have allowed the fewest points in the league, however they have played a lot of weak teams.

Just caught the end of the Bills/Chiefs game and looks like I missed a good one. Buffalo is looking good and do have a chance of winning the AFC with their win over KC. Mind you, KC will need to lose one and Buffalo run the table. Easier said than done as the Chiefs have an easier schedule.

I'm starting to wonder if the Broncos could be a dark horse(no pun intended) in the AFC the rest of the regular season and the playoffs.

Dorsett rushed for over 1,000 yds in 10 games.

Why would you think the Steelers would lose when they are much better than the Steelers teams who beat the Ravens 7 out of the last 8 games ? The only win for the Ravens was in 2022 when trubisky was QB for the 5-8 Steelers and they sqeaked out a 16-14 win. That is baltinores only win against Pittsburgh since 2019 when RGIII was thr Ravens Qb

The broncos are the 3rd best team in their division. They have some great building blocks and could maybe even pull off a surprise win in the playoffs but that is their ceiling. The Chargers have the talent to pull off more upsets
