Philip Rivers looks like a guy with two weiners, with one of them being attached to his right shoulder. Age is taking it’s toll on the signal caller but it’s not likely to matter in this game as the Jags have one of the worst run defense’s in the NFL and Anthony Lynn and crew are sure to take note. Expect Melvin Gordon to see 20+ carries and Austin Ekeler to also get some good run in a very winnable game for the Bolts.
All we heard last week was how much trouble the Broncos were in with Drew Lock at the helm. It’s always a good thing to watch some video of a player prior to trusting TV pundits. Once the smoke cleared, the kid was actually somewhat impressive hitting Courtland Sutton for some very sleek completions. Will this kid maintain the same composure in his first NFL road game? Loot gives his pick to cover this Week 14 point spread (+9.5).
Brace yourself for what you’re about to read! The Bungles are getting better! I was surprised to see the Browns laying more than one score (Opening Line -9) as it’s no secret that Freddie Kitchens is in over his head. The only thingthat stands in the way of a Bengals cover is upper management asking the team to tank to assure a top pick in the 2020 NFL Draft. And that could happen.
The Boise State Broncos get a huge boost with the Mountain West Title Game taking place on their home turf. Nick Rolovich has done a heck of a job turning the Hawaii college football program around, but it’ll be a tall task to go into Albertson’s Stadium and steal a win, much less a cover.
The L.A. Rams on a short week after getting destroyed by the Ravens are toxic. I’ve been a big believer in the Rams all season they’ve been a constant letdown. Fool me no more! The Cardinals come into this game at +3 and are a LIVE barking dog!
This is one of those games you look at and envision Patrick Mahomes throwing bombs down the field vs. a bad Raiders secondary. Especially after the showing Oakland had vs. the Jets last week. Truth be told, KC isn’t playing that great of football right now, leaving the door open for a potential double digit barking dog Sunday. The Raiders strength is ground and pound with Josh Jacobs. KC’s weakness is run D. Check out who Loot is betting on in this Week 13 barnburner before placing your bet!
Philip Rivers has deteriorated in front of our eyes. Is it me, or is his arm angle dropping even more than previous seasons? His passes are falling short and you can see him melting down as the camera pans in on him after his mistakes. This guy is washed up. Denver is licking their chops to attack this “Sidearm Kitna”. I’m bringing a wheelbarrow with me to the betting window this week!
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs. Jacksonville Jaguars is undoubtedly the sucker bet of the week. Tampa Bay goes into Atlanta and destroys the Falcons and now they’re a +1 underdog to the Jacksonville Jaguars? Don’t find yourself on the wrong side of this nasty spread!
Round II of the Browns/Steelers bout takes place Sunday, which will garner much more interest from fans than normal, with hopes of yet more chaos, punches and helmet conking. While it’s unlikely anything exciting happens between large men, there should be some action between us and the bookies. Mason Rudolph being benched mid-game last week was a good thing, however, it creates chemistry issues as Devlin Hodges won’t be as in tune with his rececivers, or will he, as most of these guys were part of the second unit early in the season and that’s who he’s mostly practiced with!
We all know that the Dolphins have been a trainwreck this season. However, they have been playing much better as of late. The Eagles have issues as well. Enough problems where this Week 13 spread of +9 has some nice wagering value. Furthermore, I always like fading teams that go from playing in 40 degree weather to 82 degree weather. It’s taxing on a player’s body and can create all kinds of nasty issues that we can use to our advantage. The Phins are one of my best bets and are a live barking dog. It wouldn’t surprise me to see Miami win straight up here.
