Can you believe it’s week 16 already? There’s only 48 more regular season games to play, friends.

Tidbits:

-Chase has been officially ruled out for the game against the free-falling (and falling apart) Steelers. I’m sure they’ll turn things around. How do I know? A valued source informed me that Tomlin visited the Haitian embassy in Washington on Tuesday.

-Tug of Gwar has been added to the Pro Bowl “skills” competition. Hopefully there’s a Squid Game touch in there as well. (hey everyone, remember The Squid Games?)

-Filling Column Inches Lazily: NFL reporter Ryan Dunleavy squirted out a “Belichick to the Bears” turd recently. Why? Because history, that’s why. I’m guessing he called it a day at 9:30am after cultivating that pearl and the breakfast scotches held sway after that.

-Bashing Arthur Smith (Again): He told reporters that new starter Hieneke gives the Falcons “the best chance to win”. Just shut up, putz.

To The Game!

Saints/Rams:

-Los Angles have their playoffs aspirations on the line here. Various vaunted math guys have said that a W vaults them to a 50% chance and a loss drops them to 14%. That’s quite a swing for Fatt Matt and Co.

-Speaking of, the Rams O has started clicking again the way it was at the outset of the season-they’re climbing up the league’s standings and now sit at 12th-best.

-The Saints coaching staff placed gas cans in the lockers of some veterans, the idea being, well, I’m not going to bother explaining this old canard to you. Demario Davis, a longtime linebacker and driver of an EV vehicle said, “I don’t get it”.

-The Saints O has been doing well also so maybe take the over of 45.5? Over the last three games they’ve scored a TD on 9 of their last 10 visits to the red zone. That’ll boost your team stats.

-Prop Time: Kyren’s rush total is a feisty 89.5. Why so high? Since week 12 he’s averaged 124.3 yards per tilt.

Play nice in the comments.
