However, being “with family” for “the holidays” doesn’t mean I’m not going to sneak away for an hour to make my weekly betting picks. Who do you think I am, a well-adjusted adult? BORING!
Nothing earth-shattering this week, but, on the plus side, I did beat the flipped quarter that has been destroying me over the last month and a half. And I won my top game (Steelers @ Browns), which is great, as I gave it the Fred Smith FedEx treatment and bet my remaining bankroll on it.
Baker Mayfield struggled a little bit last week against the 49ers, but he was not awful. He plays the Colts this week, which should be an easier matchup.
The Bears suffered a historic loss to the Detroit Lions in Week 11. James Tillman III offers a few notable takeaways from Chicago’s late-game collapse.
For the fourth time in Kirby Smart’s tenure, the Bulldogs went up to Rocky Top to put together a dominant performance. The game started like they seemingly all do now: with a quick score from the UGA opponent.
As the Pittsburgh Steelers (6-3) prepare to face off against the Cleveland Browns (6-3) in a pivotal matchup, the echoes of history resonate on the field.
With both teams eyeing playoff contention, this week’s clash is not just a game; it’s a potential battle for supremacy in the rugged terrain of the AFC North.
I still have Baltimore as my number one team so far going into Week 11, though the gap has closed after that second half performance last week. Note once again that this is not a prediction for future weeks, only a representation of how they’ve played to date.
Last Saturday went very differently for these two teams. After Tennessee was mauled by Missouri in the 3:30pm CBS game, UGA embarrassed Ole Miss in ESPN’s primetime game. The results have taken a little bit of the luster away from this game which most fans had circled before the season started.
The Dawgs eviscerated the Rebels on Saturday, in a game that was not close after the second quarter. After amassing 180 yards of offense in the first quarter, Ole Miss couldn’t muster that many yards in the next three quarters combined. This was about as dominant of a performance that you’ll see, and the Dawgs did it against a top 10 team.
