Not one, not two, not three… 4.
That’s what number of interceptions Kirk Cousins hurled final Sunday in opposition to the Los Angeles Chargers. Cousins threw two picks within the crimson zone, one on fourth down that was returned for a pick-six and one other on Atlanta’s remaining drive.
Sigh.
As for this weekend, I’ve bought two school soccer wagers, two NFL bets and a moneyline parlay. Bear in mind, this area isn’t the place for 1,000,000 picks or five-teamers. These will at all times be the video games I like probably the most. Let’s go to work.
2024 Document: (33-31, -1.1 models)
No. 5 Georgia vs. No. 2 Texas (-3, O/U 50)
I’ve these groups virtually numerically equal by way of energy score. I’ve bought Texas at 127 and Georgia at 126.5. So yeah, the sphere objective is attractive. The Dawgs are one of the crucial resilient groups within the nation and Kirby Good is superior at making second-half changes. As for the whole, 45 factors have been scored within the final assembly and that is with seven turnovers. I’m feeling a 28-27 remaining rating both means.
PICK: Georgia (+3) to lose by fewer than 3 factors, or win outright
PICK: Over 50 factors scored by each groups mixed
Falcons @ Vikings (-6, O/U 45.5)
You gained’t love this and it’s okay. I’m going again to the effectively on the Falcons. Earlier than squeaking out a one-point victory in opposition to Arizona, Minnesota let a bunch of mediocre groups grasp round. Joe Flacco and the Colts, Mac Jones and the Jaguars, Will Levis and the Titans, Caleb Williams and the Bears. Meh. This can be a respectable buy-low spot on an Atlanta group most individuals can’t abdomen proper now.
PICK: Falcons (+6) to lose by fewer than 6 factors, or win outright
Payments (-3.5, O/U 49.5) @ Rams
We’ve completed a strong job this yr selecting in opposition to the Rams in the best spots. Arizona, Chicago, Miami and Philadelphia all took care of enterprise and I anticipate Buffalo to do the identical. Los Angeles continues to get by on its previous status, when the metrics spotlight a middling offense and vastly overrated protection. And please spare me with the Payments lookahead nonsense. There’s nothing extra essential to Buffalo than taking part in for a No. 1 seed.
PICK: Payments (-3.5) to win by greater than 3.5 factors
Blazin’ 5: Vikings (-5.5) beat struggling Falcons, Payments (-3.5) knock out Rams in Week 14
No. 3 Penn State vs. No. 1 Oregon (-3.5, O/U 50.5)
You already understand how I really feel about Buffalo this weekend and I really feel even higher about Oregon beating Penn State in Saturday’s Massive Ten Championship Sport. Final month on “Bear Bets,” I talked about wheeling Jake Paul ML (-190) in opposition to Mike Tyson with something that wasn’t nailed down. That’s how good I really feel concerning the Geese. I relish alternatives to guess in opposition to James Franklin in large video games. That mentioned, I’m not messing round with the purpose unfold. Simply win, child.
PICK: Oregon ML and Payments ML parlay (+144)
