NFL WEEK EIGHT 2020

SUNDAY EVENING UPDATE: TWO DROP OUT OF SURVIVOR POOL- THE KID AND THE CRIME DOG . THREE LEFT. FINS ROMP TO START TUA ERA.  

Good Sunday morning. Fall back and set your clocks back one hour. For you millennial judges and lawyers, we used to tell time by something that had hands that moved around a dial and was not connected to the internet.  Both watches (not Apple Watches and Clocks) Unlike your iPhone, you have to actually move the hands back one hour. Try it- it's fun. 

The Sunday before election day, we will be doing our Red State/ Blue State football picks. Don't forget to read the blog next week as we have a Monday/Tuesday two part expose on the 12th Amendment, and Tuesday evening we will be live-tweeting the election @Justicebuilding. 

It's TUA TIME MIAMI!. Our Fins leave a toss-up state-Florida-  slightly leaning Biden-Blue- to a solidly Blue California and the Rams. We like the Over 45 but can't bring ourselves to buy into a Tua win just yet. Rams roll by 7-10, give the 4.5. UPDATE: If this is Tua time then sign us up. Fins are rolling and may get the over by themselves. They will win big time. 

49ers (Blue State) vs. Seattle (Washington Blue State). Hawks bounce back after their first loss of the season last week.  Seattle -3.

Cheaters (Massachusetts Biden-Blue) vs Buffalo (NY Clinton Blue). The Bills did not look great last week versus the Jets but managed a six field goal win, while the emperor Bill has no clothes (or at least no QB) and got destroyed. Cheaters still have no QB and Bills have a good one, Chicken wings on us- Bills -3.5. 

Our J...E...T...S... Jets Jets Jets, the very best 0-7 team on the planet, roll fearlessly into KC Missouri (finally a red state on our slate ). KC isn't looking like the super bowl winning monster they were last year. The Jets, as we said, are the best 0-7 team around. We love teams that have nothing else to lose and we love getting 19.5 points. Jets won't win, but 35-21 sounds about right to us. Update- Jets hanging tough in 3rd Q. 

Dallas (Red State but could be close) vs. Philly (Pennsylvania Blue state but could be close). Now this is what we are talking about. There is chatter Biden could win Texas. All our well educated Robed Readers are saying "wait a cotton picking second! Texas hasn't voted for a Democrat since James Earl Carter won the presidency in 1976", which is true. Biden will come close. If he does win Texas, then Florida and Pennsylvania do not matter and the Presidency is Biden's. But we do not think that will happen. We think POTUS wins Florida and Pennsylvania, Ohio and Wisconsin will decide the matter (see our electoral map scenarios tomorrow). Meanwhile just about everyone including an aging Rumpole was asked to try out for QB for the Cowpokes this week. Philly ain't much, but we know Philadelphia is going Biden-Blue and that will be enough for them to beat Dallas by more than 7.5. 

Game of the week is Steelers vs Ravens.  Pennsylvania toss-up, versus Maryland blue. Sort of like the Steelers getting 4.5 on the road, but love the over 47 as both teams have very good offenses. The Ravens won't be able to run on the Steelers with their RBs, but as Tennessee showed last week, just because the guys from Pittsburgh can stop run doesn't mean they win easy. Pittsburgh (another solid Biden-Blue town) over Baltimore (also Biden-Blue) and over 47.

Special Added Pick: Decision of the week. There will be a lawsuit challenging the counting of votes in at least one state and maybe three or four. Those lawsuits will reach the US Supreme Court. And we pick the split as 5-4 which CJ Roberts voting with the liberal wing minority of the court, and Justice Thomas (as the most senior judge in the majority) assigning himself and Justice Kavanaugh to write the individual opinions in which the highest court in the United States of America once and for all states that in this beacon of democracy, not every vote should be counted. The swing vote? None other than our favourite  western court Justice-  Gorsuch. He is not a reliable conservative vote on all issues. Or to put it more in our language, he is more of a true conservative than the collectivist- conservatives like Alito and ACB. 

Sorry to end on a sour note, but after the Blue Halloween moon, we now see a bad moon arising.
