THE SUNDAY SLATE (DECEMBER 1,2018)

THE MATCH UP

BRONCOS AT BENGALS

Broncos are rolling right now. Andy Dalton is out for the Bengals. The Bengal defense these last few weeks can’t stop anyone.

OUR WINNER: BRONCOS

RAMS AT LIONS

Lions are tougher at home. Muslim beard has been able to beat some great teams this season. Are the Packers and the Patriots great teams? After the coin flip game is over, Rams win big as they are seeing Red since Saints loss on Thursday night.

CARDINALS AT PACKERS

Click your heels three times, Aaron Rodgers. Because there is no place like home. The Packers can not win on the road and the Cardinals give them an easy home win as their playoff hopes remain on life support.

OUR PICK: PACKERS

BILLS AT DOLPHINS

This might be the game with the two worst groups of receivers in the entire league. Maybe the quarterbacks could just see who’s faster on the 40 yard dash to determine points. I like the Bills defense in this one. Bills are on a small roll. I think the way they beat the Jaguars last week, carries over.

OUR PICK: BILLS

RAVENS AT FALCONS

The Ravens all of sudden are playing very well with Lamar Jackson behind center. Meanwhile the Falcons been riding the struggle bus. This game looks easy to pick on paper. I would say Ravens. I think the tables turn in this one. Falcons fly differently at home. The rookie regresses a little in this one for the Ravens.

OUR PICK: FALCONS

BEARS AT GIANTS

The NFL wants no defense. The Bears bring the defense to New York with their back-up quarterback and get it done in the “Big Apple.” It will be a close one though. The Giants have not seen a good defense in awhile. My prediction, an Eli Pick six wins it for the Bears. I know that is an obvious prediction when it comes to the Giants quarterback.

OUR WINNER: BEARS

PANTHERS AT BUCCANEERS

This game features the two quarterbacks I hate the most in the entire league. The talent they both have. It’s all about them and not team. They both crumble when they are in the spotlight. Panthers at least have a defense. They have gone to the wire the last two weeks and came away with losses. Panthers feed off bottom of the league types of teams. It’s Cam Newton’s way of winning.

OUR PICK:  PANTHERS

COLTS AT JAGUARS

Jaguars’ defense is in disarray. Jaguars have bad coaching. My key to this game is the Colts’ Andrew Luck versus whoever the Jags march out their behind center. Tom Coughlin, the President of Jag Bag operations, says his team plays stupidly. I agree. No Fournette in this one as he is suspended.

OUR PICK: COLTS

BROWNS AT TEXANS

This could be a very exciting game. Browns have done well since they fired Hue. The Texans have been rolling as it’s been 8 straight. This should be a close well-fought game. My key to this game comes down to the Texan defense. They love close games. The big stars on that unit rise up at the end of this contest and make the key stop against the Browns offense to win their 9th straight.

OUR PICK:TEXANS

JETS AT TITANS

Forest Gump would say, “Life is like a box of chocolates.” You do not know what you will get. This is that type of game. I could see a slumbering Titan offense. I could see Josh McCown lighting up the scoreboard. Even vice versa. I flipped a coin on this one and the Titans get the nod.

OUR PICK: TITANS

CHIEFS AT RAIDERS

The main conversation that will be talked about in this one will be running back Kareem Hunt. During the off season he starred in a video pushing a lady in a hotel hall way. Then a scrum broke out with a group of people. He even kicked the girl while she was on the ground.  It’s shameful for these running backs getting cut because they like to beat on their girls or kids when they are not on the field. Those stress balls do not work.  Quarterbacks take it out on their dogs. Receivers kill their kid’s hamsters. NFL stands for the National Felony league. BTW…Chiefs win big in this one.

OUR PICK: CHIEFS

VIKINGS AT PATRIOTS

The Vikings, we are still waiting for that game where we can say that’s the team we were expecting. Then Tom Brady and the Evil Empire look like the Death Star is falling apart. It’s just a shell of its former self. I feel a great disturbance in the force. I feel Tom Brady and the Patriots will find a way at home.

OUR PICK: PATRIOTS

49ERS AT SEAHAWKS

Richard Sherman has turned this contest into the Seahawks against himself. Sherman is not facebook friends with Russell Wilson. Will the 12th man, aka the Seattle faithful, boo Sheman’s return?  Sherman needs to get over it. The Legion of Boom is dead, my friend. Life is good in Seattle without you. Thanks for the memories. You chose the 49ers in the off season because you thought they would be better than your former team. Looks like that plan backfired.

OUR PICK: SEAHAWKS

CHARGERS AT STEELERS

Chargers are a team you just do not know what team you will see.  Both the Steelers and the Chargers have a Bronco loss in common of late. The Steelers are a different puppy at home. Plus this is a big prime time game. It will be a close one. Big Ben and the Steelers prevail at the end of this one.

OUR PICK: STEELERS

REDSKINS AT EAGLES

Who the hell gives a crap about these two teams? Both have self-destructed this year. Love Colt McCoy. He does not have any receivers to throw to. He’s running for his life, back there. This will be a close game. I can see Carson Wendtz making a key play in this one. Eagles will find a way to finally win two games in a row.

OUR PICK: EAGLES
