Your “Another Odd Game? I’ll Take It!” Tuesday Night NFL Football Open Thread

Before we check out the game let’s see what else be going on out there.

Newsy Notes:

-Jalen Hurts gets the start for the Eagles next week. He didn’t exactly set the world on fire with his 5-12, 109 outing so you might want to call him “The Extinguisher” because he’ll likely blow any slim chance that the Eagles win the division. Dem poor Eagles can’t do anything with Wentz until 2022 because he has “Elephantiasis of the Contract”. That’s gonna hurts. (look how I made it come all the way back round!)

-One of the recipients of The Lou Marsh Award (Canuck Athlete of the Year) was Laurent Duvernay-Tardif, the K.C. lineman that is studying to be a doctor and is helping out on the front lines. The co-winner is Alphonso Davies-the Saturday morning crowd might know him.

-For the first time since 1917 a Michigan/OSU game won’t be played-a suicide watch is being held for the dude that was supposed to dot the ‘i’ this year.

-“HACKEY!” might start as early as January 13th. The Red Wings called dibs on last place overall.

-College basketball programs in temporary shut-down mode include Zaga, UConn, Houston, Wake Forest, Louisville and many, many others.

TO THE GAME!

Cowboys/Ravens:

-This sure looks like a Dallas beatdown but Lamar hasn’t played in 16 days and Baltimore are 1-4 in their last five. Still, they are slowly filling out their roster with starters that were sidelined to Covid and/or injury.

-Dallas will have to come out aggressive and they have been throughout the season. They’ve gone for it the most times of any team but their conversion rate is 24th in the league. Well, you tried.

-The question is-are we going to get the team that trashed the Vikes or the one that rolled over for Team on Thanksgiving Day?

-What was once Dallas’ Pride and Joy (the O-line) is now a unit made up of recycled plastic bags, butcher’s twine, spider webs, dumpster juice and shadows.

-The Ravens will need to prevent ‘splash’ plays by the likes of Cooper, Gallup and Lamb and run the ball hard against the Cowboys second-worst run D.
