The picks, ladies and gentlemen. The picks are hot right now. We’re starting this with a recap of the PICKS! Playing with imaginary dollars, of course, my picks went 11-6 in Week 3. For those of you playing along at home, that’s the sauce. I mean like some serious sauce. Like – if NFL knowledge is a pizza, I’m the sauce! You can do the cheese and the bread 60 different ways, but you need the sauce!! “YOU NEED ME!” – Sauce
I’m calm now. Let’s break it down. Of the 11-6, I went 7-5 against the spread, 3-0 on point totals, and 1-1 on the money line. The one money line victory was a big one though. The New York Football Giants had that game locked up. Win by one, win by a million, it doesn’t matter. Also, the double victory on Monday night was nice with the points and the over. No double doink for the Bears this go-round. A few more weeks like this, and the muscle in Vegas will be coming to pay me a visit – yours truly – THE SAUCE.
Ok enough with that. I’m aggravated typing it out, and I bet (with fake money of course) you don’t like to read it. I have to make sure to change up the energy every now and then to keep you Crispies on the edge of your seats. I gotta spice things up.
No more kitchen references.
Monday night’s game between the Bears and the Redskins proved two things. First, it confirmed that Chicago’s defense cannot be touched. The Redskins must have assumed that going in, because there were a handful of plays that Khalil Mack literally went…you guessed it…untouched. Constant defensive dominance by the Bears made for an easy night for Mitch and the offense, and the first half blowout proved too tough a mountain to conquer for the Skins. Which brings us to the second point proven. It is time for Jay Gruden to take a hike. I am not one who likes to call for coaches being fired, but the ownership isn’t going anywhere (unfortunately) and something has to change. Redskins fans, how many more games like that do you need to see before Dwayne Haskins gets in at quarterback? Leave a comment on the contact page or tweet at me. As a fan of a team going through a QB/coaching controversy of our own, I’m dying to know our thoughts. Your owner would never dream of mishandling coaches and QBs, and PR situations with full TRIBES of people for that matter. Have Mr. Snyder call in and we will discuss.
Week 4: Thursday Night Football – Eagles @ Packers
This should be an interesting game. The Eagles have the makeup of a good team, but have been plagued with the injury bug so far this season. Good news for Philly – some of their injured pass catchers could be ready to make their return on Thursday night; most notably Alshon Jeffrey. Hopefully Jeffrey can take some heat off of Nelson Agholor by actually catching a few balls. The only thing Agholor has been catching recently is heat from the locals. This gentleman below felt the need to express his disgust after helping save the lives of his fellow man and recently thrown babies. Instead of make it about himself, he turned the tables on the Eagles receiver. Based on the response, Agholor might have caught some feels as well.
The Packers sit alone atop the NFC North, and they are in the middle of figuring out if they are for real or not. I came into this season thinking they would flop, and they quickly put me in my place. I am a man who learns from his mistakes, and I have learned that you don’t get rich picking against people with Aaron-Rodgers-style mustaches. I certainly won’t do that with the game happening in Green Bay. I’m going with the Wisconsin Dairy Farmers by two field goals.
Pick: Green Bay -4.5
The temperature in NC has jumped back up into the high 80s low 90s the past week or so. I hope we make it to the days where the highs are in the 50s sometime this season. I can’t afford a rebrand. Stay Crispy friends!
