THE SUNDAY SLATE (DECEMBER 9,2018)

THE MATCH UPS

COLTS AT TEXANS

This is my upset special of the day. Colts handed the Texans the very first game they played each other. Then Texans took advantage and have not lost a game since winning their first one versus the Colts. Plus losing 6 to 0 versus the Jaguars. They are lucky they have not been kicked out of the league.

OUR WINNER: COLTS

PANTHERS AT BROWNS

Rather see the Browns win this game. What’s the prediction on how many INT’S will be thrown in this one? Fig Newton comes out of the cookie jar and ends the Panthers’ losing streak.

OUR WINNER: PANTHERS

PATRIOTS AT DOLPHINS

This one has the Evil Empire stomping all over the fish people in Miami. Another planet taken over by the dark side. Another division title coming soon.

OUR PICK: PATRIOTS

GIANTS AT REDSKINS

When the butt fumbler is behind the center, you know your team is in big trouble in ‘Little China.’ Redskins turn dead skins and season officially over in DC.

OUR PICK: REDSKINS

JETS AT BILLS

Lots of snow on the ground. Fans bring their own shovels and they get to watch this big AFC East showdown. Maybe in the 1990’s. Last time was ugly for the Jets. I think Josh Allen runs for two scores in this one. Bills prevail in the snow once again.

OUR PICK: BILLS

RAVENS AND CHIEFS

Ravens have a defense. Chiefs have an offense. Who prevails? I give the Chiefs to solve the Ravens defense in the second quarter. Chiefs are very hard to beat at home.

OUR PICK: CHIEFS

SAINTS AT BUCCANEERS

I would hate to play the Saints after a loss. Sean Payton and Drew Brees have probably gone to some secluded cabin somewhere and just plotted all week. To come up with a plan to sink the Buccaneers in their own yard.

OUR PICK: SAINTS

FALCONS AT PACKERS

Aaron Rodgers now has sunk so low. He is like your typical NBA superstar, getting your coach fired. Falcons are a mess. Usually the first game for any new coach ends up with a victory. Different voice, simple game plan, and the Packers can only win at home when they are not playing the Cardinals, of course.

OUR PICK: PACKERS

BRONCOS AT 49ERS

49ERS ARE A COMPLETE DISASTER. Broncos have been rolling. They have knocked off the Chargers and the Steelers during this, all of sudden we know how to win, streak. 49ers should be an easy one for them.

BENGALS AT CHARGERS

No Andy Dalton. No AJ Green. Chargers should win this one easy. Will the Bumbles have more fans in LA than the Chargers? Even though technically the chargers are at home, it should be an easy road win for them.

OUR PICK: CHARGERS

STEELERS AT RAIDERS

If Big Ben can’t win this one, everyone should be fired in this organization. Steelers don’t need the steel curtain for this one. The shower curtain will work well on this pathetic Raider team.

OUR PICK: STEELERS

LIONS AT CARDINALS

Lions seem like a team that beats the crappy teams that their division foes lose to. In upsets. Bears upended by the Dolphins. Lions had no problem with the fins. I see the Lions going to Arizona and having an easy time handling the Cardinals.

OUR PICK: LIONS

EAGLES AT COWBOYS

This game could be for all the marbles. This one is the hardest one to predict. You do not know who will show up. Both teams are on small win streaks. The Eagles have finally strung together two victories in a row. Not impressed with the two wins. Cowboy wins, especially over the Saints, seem to leave a bigger impression on me. Even though the Cowboys will probably screw it up. I give the nod to the Cowboys because they are at home.

OUR PICK: COWBOYS

RAMS AT BEARS

This is another tough game to figure out. Are the Bears for real? The Rams are due for a let down. I’m taking Bears because they are at home. LA has to travel to a colder place. Mitch Trubisky is back behind center. I think Bears’ defense makes a BOLD statement in this one. Defense does win big games.

OUR PICK: BEARS

VIKINGS AT SEAHAWKS

This one from the start of the season, I would say Vikings in an easy one. Vikings have not played well at all this season. Yes, they are still in the thick of things, but that defense, we are still waiting on. Kirk Cousins has not been the Joe Montana they hoped for. I have no idea how the Seahawks are playing so well. Is Pete Carol a great coach? I feel like I’m choking on my own vomit saying that out loud. I guess you get rid of the cancer in the Legion of Boom defense and then you do well, is my theory. Seahawks are playing well and they are at home.

OUR PICK:  SEAHAWKS
