Looks like the Cowboys season is finished with Dak scheduled for season ending surgery to repair his hamstring suffered against the Falcons.

This week the Jets season is on the line against the Cardinals in Glendale. Wonder if Rodgers can channel that Hail Mary energy again in Arizona.

We also have another international game showcasing the Giants and Panthers this week in Germany. Just be thankful you’ll probably forget this game is starting early in the morning and miss it. We’re sorry Germany! Not the best way to sell the game internationally.

Week 9 Record: 8-7

Season Record: 75-61-2

Not much to say about last week’s 7-9 performance other than not great. Would have been a .500 week if Jayden Daniels wasn’t drinking unicorn juice and hitting game ending hail mary passes against the Bears. But hey, we’re over it…right?

Week 8 Record: 7-9

Season Record: 67-54-9

There are certainly some spooky matchups this week that have the potential to bury some coaches on the hot seats. Do the Dangeruss led Steelers have the fortitude to slay the Giants and turn Coach Diabol into a pumpkin? Another blowout loss during a primetime game for the Giants might just be too much to raise from the dead.

Don’t get me started with the Cowboys! Has the potential to be an ugly one in BIG D with all of the injuries on both teams. A Sunday night beatdown by the 49ers though and Coach McCarthy might not be allowed to travel back on the team plane. We shall see!

Week 8 picks are below in bold for your betting consideration!

• MIN@LAR+2.5
• ARZ@MIA-4.5
• ATL@TB+2.5

Week 7 Record: 8-7

Season Record: 60-45-2

Wowzers! Lots of tickets cashed last week and we’re aiming to roll that into another big week during week 7 of the 2024 season.

Game of the week is Kansas City visiting San Francisco in a rematch of Super Bowl LVII. While I look forward to watching the game on the field, I’m also interested in listening to Tom Brady in the booth as he might be the one participant in the game under the most pressure. He was approved as a minority owner of the Las Vegas Raiders this week, but it comes with strings attached, including: can not publicly criticize officials and other clubs. Brady was already off to a not so hot start to lucrative broadcasting career (10-year deal with Fox for $375 million) so it will be interesting to hear how he threads that needle as I’m pretty sure he’s being paid by Fox to give honest takes on what he sees on the field.

Anyways, I expect there to be a couple of let down games for teams this week after emotional wins last week (looking at you Lions, you Commanders).

Week 5 Record: 7-6-1

Season Record: 42-34-2

Lots of interesting lines this week. We also have our first overseas game of the season with the Jets and Vikings scheduled for a Sunday breakfast game in London. Is Sam Darnold going to show out against the team that drafted him and kicked him to the curb just as fast?

The most unappetizing game on the menu might be the Fins visiting Foxborough to take on the Patriots. Bueller? Bueller? Not sure how many folks are going to be tuning in for that slopfest.

Picks for week five are below in bold. Good luck and happy betting!
