Your Vegas Forward Early Morning Open Thread

Yes, The City of (even more!) Degenerates is hosting a DFO get-together. As I type this post our brethren are snuggled safely in their escort’s arms, last night’s shenanigans forgotten for now. Please remember to put the agreed-upon monies on the dresser as is Vegas custom!

To The Game!

-Well, what do you know, the game is being hosted by Deutsche Bank Park. The financial institution that is the money launderer to the stars, terrorists, despots, unions and just plain criminals like you and me-well, not me, just you. A quick search tells me that they’ve been fined close to 300 million Adenauers since 2015 by the US alone!

-Tyreek is chasing 2,000 yards but is also chasing the entire Chiefs wide receiver corps and he’s only 171 yards behind. I pooh-poohed the idea of 2K when he announced it, silly me.

-Yeah, those K.C. wr’s are nasty. According to ESPN’s receiver tracking metrics, which analyze separation, catch percentage and yards after catch, as a unit they are dead last. (surprisingly, the Texans Nico Collins and Tank Dell are in the top 7)

-Making things that much more difficult is the fact that Miami’s starting corners are together for the first time all year. Xavien Howard and Jalen Ramsay should shut down the outside.

-The one Chiefs wr that has a bit of momentum is the rookie Rice, whose targets are increasing and who plays out of the slot the majority of the time-he gets slot cb Kader Kohou.

-Tua is playing out of his mind and has a consecutive TD streak of 17 which is the league’s longest right now. His yardage prop of 273.5 seems silly given that he averages 302 so far this year. But the Chiefs are cheap on that end, giving up only 176.1 yards per tilt. Maybe take Mostert’s rush prop, whatever that is.

-There’s one nagging concern about the high-flying Fins and that is that they have yet to beat a team with a winning record. Well, now’s the time.

I once went on a date with a German lass that was from Garmisch Partenkirchen. True story.
