Sunday EPL/Owl Prediciones Thread

Again, I apologize for not crapping out a Saturday nighter.  As partial recompense, here is a morning one.

Spurs/Wolves is the best of the three 9:00 offerings (all action on Peacock), with European qualification meaning for each club.  Until midweek, Wolves had been flying shit-hot.  Spurs, on the other hand, have just sort of hung around all season, like a creeper at the mall.  Oh my cats, remember when MALLS were an actual thing?  I’ve no idea what will happen, which is Prem footy at its best.

Barcodes/Villa also lingers, like a very wet fart.  The kind you pull down your pants, just to double-check.  You could also watch Team White Lives Matter/Redshite if you are a parasite upon humanity.

Foxes/Hammers takes centre stage at 11:30, and this could be a real cracker.  Moyes’ homeys need to find some form, and a second wind.  You never know what Leicester is gonna give you.  Or take from you.  Worth your time.

As to the Owl.  I have very contrarian views (I know, knock me over with a feather), in that if it’s a shit-kicking, I think Cincy is the one dishing out the punishment.  A close game could go either way, and I really don’t have a strong vibe.  Still, I shall pick Hippo-wagered MVP (the WKRP placement man) going 5-for-5 in a 29-24 win.  Because I am out of time for deliberation.  Please make your picks in the comments.

The elk is in the chili pot.  This is not a drill.

(also, Everton’s Frank Lampard is a beautiful, lovely in every way man – and I certainly never ever could have suggested any differently)

Amending my original pick of Rams 30-20 to Rams 31-20.

Has a little bit to do with the squares assigned.

Are we doing prop bet preditions too? I’m wondering what the over/under is for the number of aphids I just consumed while eating this lettuce from my garden.

LOL

This is perfect

Honestly it sounds a lot more agreeable than death metal.

Fronkenshteen

Done. Got the crudités chopped, guacamole mixed, cheeses sliced, chili in the slow-cooker, rice in the cooker, kale simmering with a ham hock in fresh chicken stock, and wings thawed out and ready for the (freshly cleaned) air fryer. My beloved Boricua neighbors pumping something extremely bass-y through the sound wall of our duplex. Sun out and melting the wet snow. Things looking extremely pleasant here in the Kingdom of Youngkin.

I like the use of the accent. Bravo.

C’est quoi la difference?

Porky Prime

My prediction? Pain.

And drinking. Drinkin’ and pain.

HTFYDB!!! GOING BUNGLES BECAUSE IF THEY WIN, THE RAIDERS LOST TO THE CHAMPS AND I CAN SAY WE TECHNICALLY FINISHED 2ND.

Anyway glad to see you all up in hurr. Porky’s healthy and happy and ready for some FOOSBALL.

I’m delighted to see that Andy Reid’s favorite combination dish is doing well!

He wanted a red meat version of turducken.

It’s our porcine pal! Glad you’re doing well.

Game Time Decision

Don’t care who wins, just want an entertaining game.

borisnow

Rams by 3 or less

yeah right

This sounds exactly right. Think we’re in for a good one today.

There should be a law that the pregame show cannot be longer than the game itself

You’re kidding, right? I’m going for Cincy.

This morning I drove by TheBigStadium™ where TheBigGame™ is being played, and local residents are renting their driveway parking spots for $500. Good for them but I think that’s cheap.

Prediction: Rams 24 – Bengals 21.

I’d prefer to see the Bengals win, so this prediction is a low-effort attempt to jinx the Rams.

THIS LADY THE DR. MRS. DEADLY, ESQ. (RET.) I CALL HER APOLLO OHNO BECAUSE SHE THINKS SHE’LL WIN A GOLD MEDAL IF SHE FOLLOWS SOMEONE AT A DISTANCE OF LESS THAN SIX INCHES.

I’m going for a FG game only score. 15-12. Down to the last second to avoid OT.

Either team wins, I got no money in this game. I’m just gonna be happy sitting on the couch, drinking beer, and eating chili.

yeah right

Unconventional Owl food today. Just myself, Eldest right, son in law, Eldest granddaughter and the Wahini today. I started the Gravy yesterday and we’re having lasagne. Bet your ass I’m making the pasta and the French bread from scratch
The lasagne will be topped with freshly grated parmigiano reggiano directly from Italy – additional details next week. It’s 78 and sunny and I’mma get a damn walk in first.

Blessed Owl Day everyone.

Dunstan

Lasagna is a pretty solid move. Never done it for a SB. I’m keeping it fairly traditional party food this year: chili, wings, nachos, shrimp cocktail. Maybe a seven-layer dip.

yeah right

It works because it can be served at any temperature. Little concerned about baking bread AND lasagne in 80 degree weather though.

Dunstan

That’s what the cold beer is for.

Have you ever been a passenger in a car driven by someone where you are genuinely shocked that they don’t get into an accident literally every time they get behind the wheel but you can’t tell them that because they are your wife?

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

She absolutely refuses to use cruise control.

Game Time Decision

Love me cruise control. One car has that adaptive one that slows down for you. Highway driving is so easy with it. Wife and oldest won’t use it as they “don’t like it”

ballsofsteelandfury

Controversial take:

Cruise control is for people that want the partner to do all the work when they’re having sex.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Come on, you wouldn’t use cruise control while driving through Palmdale or Palm Springs?

Also, WHO TOLD YOU?!?!?

yeah right

Eldest right is not my wife but the driving sentiment fits. Just to make everyone super happy and comfortable, she now has a class B license and can drive semis.

Traverse the LA freeway system at your own risk.

Game Time Decision

Youngest just starting to learn to drive. And I get that she’s still learning but there’s been some “fun” moments.

Friend in high-school was an awful driver. There were many, many drives that scared the crap out of me. We used to make fun of him as to how bad he was. Remember kissing the ground after one trip, as it was bad for him, that we made it there without crashing. I assume that his driving has improved but not sure. Oh and he’s now a police officer. The irony there is nawt lost on me

Dunstan

Swedish curler Anna Hasselborg could assimilate me any time. Resistance is futile.

scotchnaut

David Hasselhoff and The Borg have really beautiful children.

ballsofsteelandfury

I got a 4-7 and 4-9 combo in the squares pool, so that’s all I’m rooting for.

Fronkenshteen

I got a bunch of goddamn fives and nines.

Game Time Decision

7 of 9 is much better

Dunstan

One of the weird ironies of our time is that Brack Obama might not have become president if not for the fact that Jeri Ryan’s husband wasn’t content to just fuck her at home.

Hey Scotchy! Got me a 6-9

/And 4-0 for what its worth. 250 yankee dollars could put Deci through Med School.

Dunstan

Got me a 6-9

Niiiiice. High five, bro!

scotchnaut

[hovers over ‘minus’, thinks better of it]

Fronkenshteen

Jarrod fucking Bowen!!!!!!!

Fronkenshteen

26-19 Rams. Someone put five million skinoots on Cincy (170+). Largest Gamblor! move in history.

Fronkenshteen

Cat kicker being out today can only help our karma. Need a hammers win, 3 goals, 10 corners, and Dawson to score. A buck gets me 30.

Fronkenshteen

You have to be a real asshole to treat an animal that way.

Dunstan

At first I thought that “cat kicker” referred to Evan McPherson and I was wondering if I’d missed a big story.

Fronkenshteen

Nah. Video of Kurt Zouma kicking one of his cats across the kitchen floor. What a jerkoff.

Gumbygirl

He needs a deep cat slash across the scrotum, by a cat who has dirty litter stuck to his claws.

Fronkenshteen

Time for the 1st nap of the day. Then roasting a duck so I can make duck nachos!

Also, Rams by 10. I am with our Italian mate on that one.

I am thinking around 30-20

Gumbygirl

Duck Nachos! Dammit. I have been a little busy, so it’s nothing but store bought treats for us. I have a cheeseball. And girl scout cookies! And lots of weed. Rams by 7.

Dunstan

Duck nachos? That’s great hustle!!!

litre_cola

We are moving in 6 weeks so I am clearing out the deep freeze. I had a roasting Brome Lake duck in there and really want the fat. So the meat goes on nachos and the fat goes on potatoes later

I laugh every time I see jars of duck fat for sale for like $10-20. You could just buy a whole duck and collect the fat!

Exactly why I bought the utility duck.

Say what you want about the Bengals organization, but its Twitter department has been aces this entire season.

I really want to bet the Bengals but a) that probably means I’m wrong and b) I hate all these online sports books so can’t bring myself to do it.
