34-34-3, -3.8 Units.
Morning folks....took a few weeks off from posting in NFL, mainly due to lack of time lately on Sunday morning. Also, strangely burnt out from posting as this is my first season posting every week in cfb and nfl.....ran out of gas and when a poor Week 11 dropped me to the .500 mark, I figured it was a good time for a rest. Lets see if I cant get some of it back today.
Lions/Pack O 42 x 2.......weather conditions do not look at that bad in GB today. Weather would be the only D that would keep this low scoring. I dont trust the Lions to do much, but I do trust in their ability to give up a lot of points, usually over 30. Aaron Rodgers will continue to show that statistically he is better than BF by ripping off 300 yards and 3 TD passes. I do feel the Lions have a nice offensive game in them today. At various times, Kevin Smith has been potent coming out of the backfield and e all know what Calvin J can do. Against a sloppy GB D, the Lions will get 3-4 scores today. I feel this sails over the total today.
NGY +7 over Minny x 1.......for the second straight year, I am shaking my head at the Viqueens and their inability to field compentence at the QB position. They're about to waste another dominating season by A.P and another excellent defensive unit. They might win today, but I dont trust them laying points at all, especially to the NYG. Yes, they may rest some guys, but the Giants are as deep as they come. I still expect them to showcase their will in this one. Also, the Vikes will still turn the ball over today. I just dont trust this team, while I trust the Giants.
Steelers/Browns Over 33 x 1......Steelers may hit this one all by themselves. The Browns are that lifeless. I do expect the Steelers to put up one of their best offensive games of the season, plus factor in a defensive score and its not that far off a climb to get to this total. Actually as the backups for Pittsburgh begin to enter the game, I see more of a equal footing shootout breaking out. It would not shock me to see hometown kid Gradkowski having some second half success in this contest. Leftwich will shine in his time on the field. The one time he played this year, the Steelers had three scoring drives on the road in one half versus the tough Redskin D. This is an easier chore. I am a longtime Steeler follower and they've been in this position several times in the last decade or so. That being, playing the regular season finale with everything already sewn up for them. It had actually happened 8 times since 1992. Most of those "meaningless" games turned into shootouts, with the Over hitting 7 of 8 times. Five of those games exceeded 43 points, and only one saw fewer than 35 points. Sometimes the past does not mean much, but the Steelers second unit plays hard and historically relishes this chance. Combine that with Heinz Field history of being an Over park, and I will bite on the low total here.
Texans -2.5, -115, over Chicago x 2....I love how the Texans have played at home for most the year. The Bears D is solid, but a bit overrated in my mind. The Texans will have too much offense today. Other than the road opener against the Colts, which seems a long time ago right now, the Bears have not been that great against even or better teams than them. VIkings back into the playoffs.
Final 1pm card:
Lions O 42 x 2
Texans -2.5 x 2
Steelers O 33 x 1
Giants +7 x 1
Good Luck!! :toast:
