YMR's Sunday take:
Yikes! Try to stay really focused today on only play the best teams. We are off to the niners game this morning, but here?s my take on the day.
Morning Games:
There are only a few really good plays today, including some good tease oportunities given the lines today, BUT: Stay away from the morning crap games/teams [jags, browns, titans, colts, bears , Vikings, dolphins, jets. You have been warned!
Tier 1:
POD: Of all the games today, of course, I like the Pat?s the most. I like the over too in that one, but not as much. I could list a bunch of reasons/stats about Brady in December and the fact Houston won its first 2 games and hasn?t won since etc., but does it really matter. The Houston D is not that bad. In fact, I think they may rank first in a few categories, but it?s indoors and Brady has all his weapons. He is moving toward the finish line and like always, he has laser like focus right now. Maybe the Texans step their game up at home and play out of their minds with the young gun-slinger from Houston-Case Keenum?but, I think the Pats are just too hot to handle.
Tier 2:
I like the Eagles to win a close one, but as you will see because the Cardinals are playing so well of late I am concerned they could win this one. So, I have teased them up thinking they will keep it within a touchdown or so. I could just as easily tease the Eagles up to 3 ?, but I am afraid that is not enough of a cushion here. Of course, the Cardinals don?t travel as well historically. I also like the Panthers a little bit?won their last 7 in a row and they are on fire too, but the Bucs are a really underrated team and play very well. I could see an upset here possibly, so I don?t want to get too invested. .In the end, I think the Panthers defense and its running attack make the difference in favor of the Panthers.
Afternoon Games:
I will be at the Niners game, so I have teased them down to just win. Fisher has the Rams playing really well and that team always gives the niners trouble, but I think the Niners defense will give the young Rams QB some trouble. This one could be a close one so I wouldn?t spot all the points.
I am throwing out the Broncos/Chiefs game today because I think either team could win and I think it might actually be an under. If I had to choose, of course, I would take Denver but only on a tease play. I feel the same way about the Bengals/Chargers game, and would only take the Bengals teased down. The Bengals are playing really well with a solid Defense, but that team has had let downs after winning runs historically [when they are playing well] and it seems like the Chargers can beat any team on any given Sunday, especially at home.
Bills will probably beat the Falcons, but I would stay away from playing this game.
Giants will probably beat the Redskins, but that too is a crap game and I would stay away from it.
I?ll try to send you a pic from the game, but sometimes our cellular doesn?t work out there. . .
Good luck!!!
