It's Cowboys vs. Eagles week!! The GIF bowl Cowboys are 3 point underdogs. I'm going all homer and picking the moneyline. Tonight we get Titans vs. Steelers and I'm picking the Titans because Will Levis looked awesome in his debut, and the Steelers offense sucks. The other game of the week is Dolphins vs. Chiefs in Germany. Too bad it's too early for me on a sunday...7am, I think. I hope to catch the second half.
Haha...I like the GIF BOWL! I can't wait. It's been a long time since both teams were this healthy and the game means so much to both. It does suck that the Fins-Chiefs game is so early. I'll probably catch part of the 2nd half. In the early afternoon games, I'll watch Seahawks-Ravens and flip to Red Zone most likely. Bills-Bengals Sunday Night is a good one too but I'll be asleep by halftime.
Week 9 picks are up, boys. Week 9 College and NFL Pick ‘Em: SportsChump vs The Wife Hates Sports vs Swoops - Sports Chump Teej, wanna pick next week for the site?
I'm becoming more and more excited for tomorrow's game. If either team wins fairly comfortably it will be a division statement. I honestly can see it going either way. I think the Eagles overall roster is a little better but Cowboys match up pretty well. I hope to see a ton of hard hitting.
Teej... You know the routine. Choose any five games, college or pro, against the spread. You can use over/unders as well. Just rank them in order of confidence. The earlier next week you get them to me, the better. FYI, you are 5-5 ATS the last two years and are, through nine weeks, one of only four people with positive money. I'll post the standings next week.
Ohh...we're down by 11 in the 4th quarter? Yeah, this game is over. We haven't comeback from that since the Romo years. (I have no proof, but it feels that way). Good win, Dawk. See you in week 14. I'll get them ASAP, Chump...I'll have a crazy week at work...pre-thanksgiving...everyone wants everything done NOW .
Eagles have the best record in football, a 2 1/2 game lead in the division, and first caller I hear on the radio says Sirianni needs to be fired. I just can’t with some of these fans.
Passer rating when trailing this season: Jalen Hurts: 121.4. Ranked 1st Dak Prescott: 65.1. Ranked 32nd That seems significant. And it helps my theory, very easyly googleable but I'm too lazy, that Dak has never came back from trailing by double digits. Also, Hurts is the real deal.
Dak played well yesterday. The loss definitely wasn't on him. A break here or there on the 3 Eagles fumbles or the 2 plays Cowboys missed a TD by inches would have caused a different narrative about him.
That's the thing. There's always something going the wrong way, it's never his fault. People say he's under the microscope because of the star on his helmet, but I'm certain he is because he always loses to good teams no matter what. A couple of years ago he went insane against Aaron Rodgers' Packers, he had the game of his life...and still lost. Again, nothing you can fault him for. It just is what it is...
It's the opposite for Hurts. Even when he doesn't play that great he still wins. Yesterday was his 12th consecutive regular season victory against teams with winning records. Pretty amazing.
