Hi everyone, it’s Christmas Eve morning and I just want to formally wish everyone an early Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays. I already gave myself and early Christmas present by getting over the .500 mark. Yes everyone Drew is officially in the green, only took 8 out 9 winning weeks. Now let’s make sure I am not giving myself a lump of coal for the Holidays, let’s ride the sleigh shall we.
CHRISTMAS EVE EARLY WINDOW
VIKINGS -4 OVER giants
But Drew the Vikings haven’t won by more than one score since Week 1. But Drew how can you take the Vikings when they are favored by more than a field goal. I’ll tell you why because they are playing a team that has a bunch of practice squad guys at wide receiver. In other words the horn blowers weakness (pass defense) will not really get exposed here. Plus so much momentum in Minny right now.
Vikings Win 27-17
saints +3 over BROWNS
This game is so gross I wouldn’t personally bet on it but you know the rules!!!! So in celebration to the rules for being rules I am going to take the points here because I think that Taysom Hill will be a huge problem for a weak front seven. Could Nick Chubb do the same to the Saints underachieving front? Sure he could but Chubb is banged up and since the Brownies are done like a brownie give me pts.
Browns Win 18-17 (Saints Cover)
PANTHERS +2.5 OVER lions
I am going to keep fading Goff in the cold because it’s what smart people do. I will not put this in my best bets though because Sam fool me once shame on Sam. Sam fool me twice shame on me. As I mentioned in my Power Rankings the Carolina Cats actually control their own destiny which the Detroit cats with two more wins oddly do not. This is the world of football my friends, life ain’t fair.
Panthers Win 20-16
bengals -3 over PATRIOTS
Seldom do I ever go against the sharps (especially in my best bets) but how can you take the Pats here. I know it’s Belichick against a pass heavy team in cold windy conditions but I cannot unsee what I saw in Vegas last week. Jakobi Meyers usually is a smart player they say but dude in a TIED GAME lateraled the ball 20 yards backwards to his QB, dumbest play ever, cannot fade the cats here, sorry.
Bengals Win 23-13
bills -8.5 over BEARS
I listen to podcast get inside info from many smart people on these games. Most weeks I take a lot of dogs and are with the wise guys. This is a rare week I am taking a lot of public favorites and here is another one. The Bills have a lot to prove right now and actually there was a lot of negative sentiment on how they struggled to beat Miami in the snow. This is a prove it spot here, blowout.
Bills Win 28-12
TITANS -3 OVER texans
This was Texans Texans Texans Texans Texans and now since the line is three I LOVE TENNESSEE here. Why do you say? I have seen this movie before. Derrick Henry makes the Titans his how do I put it, well just say he owns them. Team that lost two heartbreaking games they had no business being in wants to play extra hard tackling Derek Henry in one of the coldest days ever in Nashville? uh no
Titans Win 20-10
CHIEFS -10 OVER seahawks
Yes take your parlays and teaser this week because they are going to pay. No Tyler Lockett is a killer for a team that hasn’t been great chucking it around for a month to begin win. Plus much like the Bills don’t you think the Chiefs are due for a banner performance. Mahomes can smell the MVP award and the Chiefs also know they are a Cincy Monday night victory away from the 1 seed, blowout.
Chiefs Win 30-14
RAVENS -6.5 OVER falcons
I need to honestly go take a shower because I feel dirty and like a public tool taking all these big favorites. The logic here is pretty simple, I am taking a good team off an embarrassing loss. I am fading an overwhelmed rookie Quarterback against an excellent defense. I also think there was weird stuff in Cleveland last week. I still think Tyler Huntley is a capable backup, he plays well here.
Ravens Win 20-6
CHRISTMAS EVE LATE WINDOW
49ERS -6.5 OVER commanders
Every wise guy out there is like take the Commanders, they are desperate and have a great defense. Low scoring game means taking a team getting almost a touchdown is the side. Here is my counter how is Washington going to score in this game? This 49ers defense is like 08 Pittsburgh 13 Seattle 15 Denver awesome. It’s hard to get a 1st down off this hard hitting group, yes Heinicke is pumpkin :-(.
49ers Win 26-13
COWBOYS -4.5 OVER eagles
I am seriously so boring aren’t I, I was even like how can I go against a 13-1 team who’s a 4.5 point underdog. Even with Whit Goodman at QB (who is the best backup in all of football mind you). But the Cowboys have been kind of flailing around against the AFC South portion of the schedule are due for a get right. Biggest reason is the Eagles have more injuries than I do after a pilates workout, Boys.
Cowboys Win 27-20
CHRISTMAS EVE NIGHT
raiders +1.5 over STEELERS
This is me just hating emotional holiday moments. I know that it’s Christmas Eve and it’s going to be 16 degrees and Vegas is a dome team from the desert and that Franco Harris just passed away and it conveniently and his team happens to be playing the team he had one of the most iconic moments in NFL history against, well bah humbug!! The Raiders are better and Josh Jacobs is going to go off.
Raiders Win 24-17
CHRISTMAS DAY
packers +3.5 over DOLPHINS
Yes I loved Green Bay at plus 5 and still love them at plus 3.5 in what will be a pseudo home game for the cheeseheads. Seriously, the Phins are fading faster pogs when I was in junior high or furby’s when I was in high school or Soulja boy dance when I was kind of a young adult. Plus I just believe in Aaron Rodgers running the table. I do not believe in Tua as I’ve mentioned before, I know, hater Drew
Packers Win 31-26
RAMS +3 OVER broncos
Anybody who dares bet on this game must have a gambling problem, well don’t judge me!! Seriously this game is a hard stay away but you know the rules!! I think I have to take the Rams since the line is at three, I know that they are terrible but what makes the Donkeys so special. The Donkeys have won by 7, 1, 4 and 9 over Trace McSorely (the game they won by 9), Baker gives everyone an Xmas gift.
Rams Win 16-15
bucs -7.5 over CARDINALS
This is so many points to give a Bucs team that has been bad but I just cannot back Tracy McSorely and Kliff Kingsbury. You would have to make this line double digits before I could even consider taking the redbirds. Seriously, this is the clincher to what may be the longest season in Arizona Cardinals history. Seriously, even darker than the 1995 Buddy Ryan disaster. Merry Xmas everyone, hahaha.
Bucs Win 24-9
MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL
COLTS +4.5 OVER chargers
Here is how this game is going to go. Having Nick Foles start here is the worst for the lighting bolts. A tortured franchise against the Quarterback who has tortured an opponent once a season every season for the past ten years. Last year Saint Nick won a random snow game in Seattle. This year I think he’s making stuff happen and scaring bolts fans everywhere, it’s inevitable, Bolts survive here.
Chargers Win 27-24 (Colts Cover)
This Week: 1-0
Last Week: 9-6-1
Season: 110-109-8
