A couple of interesting games headline week four in the NFL. Survivor-wise the Rams and Chargers are the top picks in our pool. One of them may lose!
The marquis game is the 3-0 Cheaters heading to Buffalo to take on the surprising 3-0 Bills. Unlike other prognosticators, we will pick the game for you. See below.
Washington at the Giants. The o/u is 49. We like the Giants -2.5, but being Saquon-less, we like the under 49 even more.
Panthers at Texans, under 47.5. When somebody on any of these teams finds some O, let us know.
Seahawks at Arizona. We like the Hawks -5 to bounce back. There is an incredible stat about Seattle winning outright when they lost as a favourite the week before (which just occurred). But basically, we do not like Arizona that much.
Chargers at Miami. We like our Fins +15.5 to keep it close. Quite frankly, we like them to win the game outright. Just watch and see.
Cheaters at Bills. The game of the week. The torching of the pass or the passing of the torch? There is so much to like with the Bills +7, but we just aren't feeling it this week. Soon, but not today. Brady 37-21.
Jags at Broncos. Jax is in disarray. Denver is not. Lay the three for the hometown Flaccos.
Rumpole is again marching to a FF victory, but our well known respect for members of the judiciary will prevent us from disclosing the final score of today's matchup. Judges should never be embarassed is our motto.
SURVIVOR POOL. Lucy Lew made the pick last week-Cowboys. So she continues. We have verified the email she sent.
The total pass yards for MNF last week was 563. DOM at 480, Peter Sautter at 465 made it with 99 yards. Juan Gonzalez at 460 just missed.
Picks for this week will be posted when the stragglers email their choices.
STATE COURTS CLOSED MONDAY
FEDS ARE OPEN
HAPPY NEW YEAR TO OUR JEWISH FRIENDS AND READERS. Monday starts ten days of reflection and introspection ending with Yom Kippur on Wednesday October 9.
We had the best smoked brisket in town. And Idaho gold potato latkes, plus guava-coconut rugalach. We would sell 250 pounds of brisket the day before Rosh Hashanah every year. People would line up for it. We would walk the line with little brisket sliders for free to keep people happy and calm as they waited for their take out. I miss those days.
ReplyDeleteBILLS WIN! BILLS WIN! THE B....I....L.....L.....S WIN!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the props Rump, but don't see it happening for the Fins.
ReplyDeleteJen was the best bar tender and venue manager in the business. Partial to cowboy boots, tight shorts and long brown hair she turned a lot of heads. But she ran a tight ship, kept the restaurant running well, and was known to pour a liberal shot for a lonely sailor during a long night.
ReplyDeleteMiss ya sweetie!
Loving your picks rump. Ca$hing in.
ReplyDeleteA ton of smart/sharpie/pro money came in late on Miami. Same with Giants except the pros have been backing NYG all week. The Miami bets were a bit surprising and some of the smaller books needed a layoff because they weren't prepared.
ReplyDeleteThey made little rye rolls to put the brisket sliders on which were soft and doughy and salty rye, and had homemade mustard. It was dark and coarse and loaded with horseradish and was delicsh.
ReplyDeleteSometimes they put a little coleslaw and Russian dressing on the roles too.
What's a blitz?
ReplyDeleteSort of a pancake filled with either sour cream or fruit compote sometimes with caviar. A Russian/Ukranian dish.
ReplyDeleteOkay SIR KENNETH ...
ReplyDeleteI’m out on our football pool. It’s up to you. If you win outright, I’ll treat to a 3 Michelin Star dinner at The Ren. Yes?
