JP's Gamblers Anonymous Turkey Day Picks
Packers (-6) @ Lions
Again, I don’t want to bet against the Packers this year. They’re too damn good…on offense. They have questions on defense.
They’re giving up 21 points per game on average. How is this team 10-0? The offense is averaging 35 points per game. All this means…Someone in Green Bay will win this…
My money would be on Jordy Nelson; he likes being white and thinks that it makes him a better wide receiver. I think it’s because the best quarterback in the league is tossing him the pigskin, but why ruin this little boy’s dream. Take the Packers and lay the 6.
Dolphins (+7) @ Cowboys
Two games I was wrong on last week. Miami still has some voodoo magic in their playbook. Dallas loves playing close games (except against the Rammies and Bills). Dallas has played down to versus their lesser opponents and played up against the stiffer competition.
Keep in mind, the ‘Boys are the only blemish on 49ers record this year. This game is on CBS, which means no weird-ass trophy awarded by Joe Buck and Troy Aikman and given to you by this guy…
A 19th century iron. Makes sense! I mean it! No I don’t. I’m just as confused. What do you think happens to these trophies? Seriously? I wouldn’t put them on my bookshelf or my desk or the hutch. I bet that Phil gave one to Jim Nantz that he keeps just underneath the oil painting of himself that his wife graciously return to Jimmy in the divorce. Me, I’d rather have something that I could enjoy, but not face the shame or ridicule that comes when you sees it in your possessions and says, “What the #$@! is this?” Anyways, getting back on track, I like the Cowboys to win, the Dolphins bust the spread. Take the 7 and be happy that real wins aren’t predicated on spreads (if you’re a Cowboys fan, like my boss).
49ers (+3) @ Ravens
This is going to be a good one. The NFL stumbled upon this game by dumb luck. The “So-close-to-being-for-real-they-can-almost-taste-it” 49ers are coming in hot. They do nothing wrong. They have a stout defense that gets a lot of turnovers. I watched both of these team’s games last week and I thought both were impressive. The Ravens had a battle with the Bengals, yeah, those Bengals. These two teams have scored the same amount of points this season so far, but it’s the Niners’ defense that stands tall. They’re getting a field goal and they’re unbeaten on the road. I like SF to win outright tonight. Also, on a quick aside, the best move the NFL Network has made in a long time is handing the play-by-play duties to Brad Nessler. He’s one of the best on the call in all of football. Those familiar with the NCAA football yearly video game series knows the voice, but he was a great announcer first calling the big game of the week in the Big Ten. (Or is it B1G?) Nonetheless, great move NFL Network.
Come back tomorrow for Feast or Famine Part 2: The Wrath of the Tent People (you know, the idiots who have been waiting outside Sears and Best Buy since Wednesday). Also, don’t fret; hockey is only taking tonight off, 13 games on slate for tomorrow, including the Blues. Take that Fred! Watch hockey. And remember when we all played on Thanksgiving for that magical bird that was three-in-one? Where’s John Madden when we really need him…
