NFL WEEK 15 WORLD CUP FINAL EDITION

 We have a rather substantial financial interest in Argentina winning. It will erase all our loses on England, Cameroon, Morrocco and Croatia. 

Go Messi go!  

NFL picks and a very unusual audio book recommendation shortly. 

Skyscraper Lullaby: 

It is rare we have time to listen to an audio book. But finding ourselves recently on the road in Florida traveling to far-flung courthouses in Dixie (where Judges are wont to drawl things like "I hear in Miamah you boys get a year and some probation on first degree murdah cases..."  to which we respond "Fake news, Judge...") we took a recommendation and invested a little less than two hours for one of the most bizarre novellas we have ever heard or read.  It is worth the time. Warning- the first chapters deal with the disappearance of a young boy on an outing with his father. You have to struggle through the heartbreak and sadness we all feel for something like this. It is worth the investment because this little gem takes you places you could never, in your wildest imagination, go. There's nothing cutesy here. This is not about life and loss. It's a sci-fi terror novella that is just a fun ride.  Click the title to go to Audible which is the only place we think you can get this. 

NFL

Your Miami Dolphins, in honor of the retirement of Judge Ed Newman, took the vaunted Buffalo Bills down to the last seconds of Saturday Night's match in Buffalo before losing on a Field Goal. They played well, but the cold hard facts are that the Fins had a three game road trips to San Fran, San Diego, and Buffalo and came out of it 0-3. Super  Bowl teams find a way. Miami did not. 

You know what's a fun game today? Lions at Jets. Two teams on the rise. If the GOAT QB Mike White was playing for the Jets, we would be on Gang Green all day. Instead we line the under 45.  WIN (Lions 20-17).

Speaking of Goats, The Bengals go to Tampa, currently home to the world's saddest QB (even though the rumor is he is dating this hottie Veronika Rajek

Tampa is 1-9-1 against the spread since Week Three. The Bengals are currently in year two of their patented end of season run. They are hitting on all cylinders.  And it is common wisdom "women weaken legs." (see below) We don't like betting against home dogs, but this could be ugly. Cinny - 3.5 at Tampa.  WIN (CINCY 34-23)

NBC flexed the Giants - Commies game to Sunday night because of playoff implications. The Giants are +4.5 and we will take that in a close game. We are also going to take some of our World Cup Argentina money and roll it over on the under 40. Number seems low, but a 21-17 final pays on the under. 

Eagles at Bears seems like a no-brainer as Bully Philly rolls up the score. Until you remember QB MVP Justine Fields will probably remain on the bench because of a minor separated shoulder last week. So skip the 8.5 and take the under 48. That number is too high without JF at QB.  (WIN Eagles 25-20). 

Women Weaken Legs! If Brady had Mick (Burgess Meridith) training him, the Bucs would be Superbowl bound. 

Let us just say right now, spare us your pronoun laden hate emails about the sexists nature of the post and clip. This is humor. And in Popular Culture Rocky rules. And having been trained in the sweet science in grade school, Highschool, and college,  this was an accepted rule for any fighter in training.
