Prince. let me ask you, you may know. that game 2 weeks ago, bears / wash. hail mary wash scores no time left. final was 18- 15 i believe. i thought since early 90,s . if a touchdown was scored, regardless if there was no time left, or said team was up by enough points to win, you HAD to attempt point after ...

" The NFL rules say that no extra point will be attempted after an overtime. It also says that if a TD is scored as time expires in the fourth quarter, no extra points will be attempted unless it affects the outcome of the game."

Thats why Rams did not attempt extra point yesterday after scoring TD to win the game against the Seahawks in overtime.
The Chiefs did not also attempt extra point after scoring TD in overtime to win the game against 49ers in SB this year

Goff playing at MVP level. Amon-Ra Brown elite WR. Two headed RB monster in Montgomery and Gibbs. The Detroit Lions beat the Packers in the rain at Lambeau. They are going to the SB from the NFC.

Jameis Winston reverted to form by throwing 3 INTS yesterday. He always aims for touchdowns instead of taking singles and doubles sometimes. Dick head doesnt learn. Hero last week for Browns. Goat this week.

Eagles 28 Jaguars 23. Less than 2 minutes to go. Trevor Lawrence throws INT to end the game. Another dick head.

These spectacular one handed TD catches are becoming the norm rather than exception. Demarcus Robinson did it for the Rams. And Devonta Smith did it for the Eagles

HC Dennis Allen was fired by the Saints after 7 straight losses.

A team I'm watching out for is Atlanta. Their offense is getting better every week. They do need to be better on defense, their pass rush is almost non-existent. Edge rusher Matthew Judon who they brought in from NE has a total of 1.5 sacks through 9 games. Last year he had 4 in 4 games and in 2022 he had 15.5 in 17 games.

KC had their hands full with TB last night but were able to get the W in OT and remain undefeated. I think there's a decent chance they go undefeated in the regular season. Their biggest tests will be @ the Bills in week 11, home to the Texans in week 16 and @ the Steelers in week 17. Bringing in DeAndre Hopkins was a fine move. They should get RB Pacheco back in the next couple of weeks as well.

Lions look so solid, even without star DE Aidan Hutchinson. Their run game is spectacular and the defense has improved immensely with Campbell at LB and Branch at S.

My week 10 picks to come on Thursday.

If his name wasnt Patrick Mahomes, he will be called a game manager. Yesterday against the Bucs, he threw just 2 balls longer than 20 yards. One was a miss while the other was a great catch by Hopkins. But the rest of the match was all dings and dongs. A fling here, a short or intermediate throw there. Mahomes is a winner. But his game these days is nowhere close to Peyton Manning or even Aaron Rodgers in his heyday. Its closer to Eli Manning and Brock Purdy.

You can't spell elite without Eli.

In the most unlikeliest of scenarios tie-breaker #10 is most net points in all games.
As far fetched as it may seem...those PAT may have been important!

Eli won two superbowls and was MVP both times. To say he was a game manager is ridiculous- he put the team on his back and was unstoppable. Tom Brady spent the first half of his career as a game manager. He simply put the ball in the hands of his playmaker and let them do their thing. Brady did develop into a great passer eventually but he took baby steps getting there. Mahomes has taken the chiefs on his back when needed but it having a poor season. The chiefs don't need him to be superman this year as evident of their 8-0 record. Brock Purdy like Brady at the start of his career has the talent and game planning to be successful without having to light up the scoreboard.

The ultimate game manager, or should I say field general, was Peyton Manning. Nobody has ever taken charge of what was happening on the field better than he. It's like they didn't need an offensive co-ordinator when he was on the field.

The TSN male announcer suggested the best prop bet for that game was : Joe Burrow > 23.5 completions -140 on FD, I was about to bet it , but got too lazy , he finished 34/56 attempts. You don't bet something, it usually wins ! UGH !

No doubt that was an easy prop bet. I put $25 on it. The Ravens pass defense is porous.

KD's best bets for week 10

Lions -3.5 @ Texans. I like the Lions here for the simple fact that Will Anderson is out and CJ Stroud hasn't been the same quality QB we saw in his rookie season. These Lions are legit and they shored up their pass rush by trading for ZaDarius Smith at the deadline. Yes he's no Aidan Hutchinson but he's a decent to good DE which is an upgrade to what they've got. I'm looking forward to watching this game Sunday night. Confidence level: 4.25/5

Bills -4 @ Colts. I typically don't like betting against the Colts but I'm sure the Bills have been watching video of what the Vikings did in the 2nd half to them in week 9. It was a complete shutdown. Other than Josh Downs the almost 40 year old Joe Flacco has got nobody to throw to as Pittman has been ruled out. The Bills defense has been up and down vs. the rush in recent weeks but they'll no doubt stack the box against Taylor. The Colts defense has sucked against both the rush and pass, ranking in the bottom 5 in both. Allen could have a field day as can Cook. Confidence level 4/5

Panthers +6.5 vs. Giants (in Munich). How in the fuck are the Giants favored by a TD here? Both teams are 2-7. Both teams suck. Both teams can run the ball. Neither team can pass the ball. The Giants do have a superior pass rush which could be the difference. But not by a TD. I also seem them as being less motivated than Carolina in this spot. Confidence level 3.75/5

2nd dog special of the week

Bucs +6.5 vs. 49'ers. I'm going to "Buc" the trend here. Partially because I love betting home dogs of 3.5 or more. This is an important game for TB as they sit at 4-5. They would very much like to get to .500 before their bye week. I get it the 49'ers will get a boost with CMC returning but let's be honest in his absence Jordan Mason and rookie Isaac Guerendo have performed well. The 49'ers are 4-4 but do have a top 10 defense and a top 10 offense. On paper they are the clearly the superior team. But the one thing that is their Achilles Heel is special teams play. They give up an average of 31 yards per kickoff return and 18 yards per punt return. I had to do a double take on those numbers because that's downright pitiful. In the end I do think the 49'ers pull this out but not by a TD. Confidence level 3.5/5

Just curious, how do you see the rest of the Lions season going? Can they run the table?

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.

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.
