The NFL just doesn’t give a fuck, does it? They’re killing our love of the sport one ugly game at a time. Who, aside from masochists like Gumbygirl and WCS, would watch this garbage? Guh!

Tidbits:

-Handing Out Baloney: Marvin Harrison Jr. is trying to tell gullible reporters that he’s thinking of going back to school one more year because his team didn’t beat Michigan. A top 5 pick? His NIL deal is worth 1.3 mil and he’ll make about 36 mil on his rookie deal. Plus if he leaves he’ll be one year closer to the big money second contract. Just stop with your hooey.

-The Texans surgence (can’t really call it a resurgence, can I?) has all been about Stroud and Company on O but the D has gifted them 12 takeaways over their 4-1 winning binge. That’s a dozen extra possessions with the ball. You can’t be discounting that.

-A dumb piece of shit sociopath hired by the Jags (naturally) was able to take 22 mil over the course of four years. He spent it on private airplane rides, a flashy car, expensive watches and a condo. You know, things that no one would notice.

To The Game!

Pats/Steelers:

-not exactly sure why I included the exclamation mark after “Game”.

-So it’s Truth Biscuit vs Doesn’t Matter but probably Zappe.

-Malik Cunningham has been activated for the game and the skinny is that a package of goal line plays has been developed for him. Needless to say, you won’t be seeing him this evening.

-In the all-important Expected Points Added per rush, the Pats D is ranked #1. Pair that with an on again, off again Najee (yards per rush averages in his last 5 games include a lousy 2.9 and 3.9 but also a 5.1 and a 6.6) and you’ll likely get your three yards and a cloud of dust wish.

-Zeke’s rush prop is 53.5 and I’d be inclined to take the over because with Rhamondre and Demario Douglas out, you’re looking at the entire offense right there.

-I’d also grab the +320 prop for neither team getting to 15 points.

Have at it.
