Welcome to October where the only thing scarier than Pennywise and the Joker is the Jets offense trying to get a first down. It would be very short-sighted for Adam Gase to play Sammy Spleen Muffins this week in Philly. Throwing Darnold behind this offensive line after only a few days of practice is a death sentence, and hopefully someone in Florham Park has our long term future in mind. Even if Sam is cleared by doctors our odds to leave Scumbag Philly with a win are minimal. Let’s get him to 100 % and see if we can make a run with our cupcake schedule after Week 7. This Jet season has to be the most disappointing since the Testaverde achilles injury in 1999.
Onto something positive, the best part of October is that the Bronx comes alive where we do Playoff Baseball like no other city in the majors. Once the calendar changes, Aura and Mystique are not just dancers at Hott 22, and the ghosts come alive at the Stadium. The Yankees didn’t have to play in the put all your chips on the table Wild Card game this season after winning the AL East for the first time since 2012. They draw a fairly easy matchup in the ALDS against a Twins franchise that knows we are their master (MASTER!) . Aaron Boone has done a tremendous job navigating one of the strangest seasons in recent memory. The Bombers are at the healthiest they’ve been all season and it would surprise me if they don’t take the series in 3 or 4.
Week 5 Picks
After another 3-3 week, I'm now 9-8 on the season.There's plenty of games left to bet. Just have to keep plugging along, and a few bounces my way and we'll start making some money. Not really loving the board this week, so I'm going to limit my plays.
Ravens -3 @ Steelers - People are starting to forget how good the Ravens looked the first two games of the season after consecutive losses to the Chiefs and Browns. The Steelers came up with a good gameplan Monday to beat the lowly Bengals, but the Ravens defense is simply too good.
Bears -5 v Raiders - They say defense travels, and I believe it also counts when you travel to Jolly Old England. The Bears and Raiders play the first game this season across the pond. Is it possible Chase Daniels is better than Mitch? Mack has been waiting to show Jon Gruden he should still be in the Silver and Black and will dominate Oakland's O-line.
Viking -5.5 @ Giants - Hungry dogs run faster. Giants fans are living in a world of lollipops and rainbows watching Daniel Jones mesmerize defenses. I've been on the right side of all four G-Men games this season, and don't see them winning Sunday. The Vikings are having their own issues with their QB. Fans are already anticipating Kirk Cousins' three year $84 million contract to end next season. That's exactly why I'm backing them here. Minnesota is too talented offensively and the Giants defense will be a cure to their ailments here.
Packers +4 @ Cowboys - Rodgers almost led the Packers into Overtime last Thursday, and the talking heads are questioning Matt LaFleur's playcalling in the loss to Philly. I feel the Cowboys' loss of LT Tyron Smith will result in some struggles to get Zeke going. This should be a close game, but I'll take The Pack with the points.
