Road chalk nearly brought it home for us last week but thanks to some frisky backup quarterback behavior and a Panthers team refusing to die the death its been given, we ended up just going 4-2. The Jets should have EASILY covered and missed by a point, whereas the Packers were up double digits and managed to let Bryce Young keep storming back into the game. Such is life when you lay the points on the road.
This week we’re taking a different approach, and there is absolutely no theme to these bets, outside of me liking them. Let’s close 2023 strong!
This line is pretty shocking: the Eagles are scuffling lately. Coming out of the bye, Philly stole games from the Chiefs and Bills, then lost three straight games before letting the Giants hang around on Christmas Day. Kyler Murray and this offense — particularly Trey McBride — should be able to move the ball against Philadelphia. The Eagles offense is still a little wobbly, particularly when it comes to attacking via the air. I expected big things out of A.J. Brown on Christmas Day but he and Jalen Hurts really haven’t been on the same page very much lately. This spread is just too high for a Cardinals team still fighting hard — they’ve lost by double digits the last two weeks but the games were closer I felt like just watching them. I’ll take my chances here.
I will not be taking my chances with Bill Belichick and the Pats going on the road against a very hungry Bills team thinking about the playoffs. Buffalo is coming off a close win against the Chargers but it was a tough spot — L.A. just fired its coach, the Chargers were on a mini-bye, the Bills were traveling across the country. Now the Bills are home, get to play a HATED division rival and can potentially clinch a playoff berth (there are like 14 different scenarios including ties, but five legit scenarios for Buffalo to clinch with a win). Sean McDermott’s team is undefeated since…
