January 29th
3:00PM
Eagles -ML -140 over San Fran. (25 units)

I will be adding to the write-ups of my picks as the week goes. Some will be in response to other feedback.
Philly clearly has the best pass defense in the NFL.
SF will have a had time passing in Philly..
McCafferty will be handled much like he was against Dallas. He was held to only 35 yds rushing and e measly 22 yds passing with 6 receptions.
No one on the SF team had more than 51 yds rushing, in perfect weather.

UPDATE> McCafferty is now listed as Questionable as of Wed Jan 25th.

Dallas beat themselves as Dak 'INT' Prescott killed his team again.
SF has collected 12 turnovers in the last 5 games. They have turned over the ball just ONCE!
Rookie Purdy wasn't bad but was held to minimum production. SF was held to its third lowest offensive passing yardage in the games with Purdy starting. Coming to Chilly Philly sure wont help.
Philly has the No.5 ranked offense and the No.3 ranked defense but No.1 against the pass!.

SF brings No.1 ranked defense and No.5 ranked offense.
But much like I wrote in the Dallas game - they played the softest schedule against Playoff teams of all the 4 remaining contenders and in the division with 3 games vs Seattle.
Being held to 19 points at home for SF was not impressive as they looked much like an average team.
Dallas - to the credit off the SF defense, was far worse. But SF had one other low scoring home game by only scoring 13 against the Saints.

The Eagles have only lost 3 games with Hurt (1)/Minshew(2) and the starters playing all year.
Problem is that in the losses, the Eagles had 4 turnovers in 2 games and 3 in the other.

Against Dallas, Minshew had 2 ints and 1 fumble and Phi had 2 fumbles in total
In the game with Washington, Hurt had one int and the team had 3 fumbles.
One other loss was against the Saints. Minshew was the starter for Philly.
With only 6 int's in 460 attemps all season, Hurt is one of the best.
Purdy has 4 ints in 170 attempts.
Eagles pass rush will be the major factor in winning this one.


I gave this reply in another thread that used Miam, Washington and Tampa as reasons to acknowledge SF schedule being hard?.
I made the remark that SF played the softest schedule of the playoff teams.

My Responses to those teams as SF opponents..
• Wash - was a last place team and a negative scoring team with next to 3rd lowest offensive points @ 19pts per game.. League lowest was 17 by several teams.
• Miami had 4 huge turnovers IN SF. They were still close in total yardage. -42.
• Tampa was the ,lowest scoring team in the playoffs of ALL the teams @18pts per game!. They count, but have little to compete with.

• Last point that may be important.
9er's are 3-4 ATS in road games and 1-1 SU against Division winners. Thats what Philly is - a division winner.

Oh - and KC was a HOME game for SF.

SF played only 2 true road gams in their last 11 .
In addition, they played 7 road games against 6 losing teams. Seattle was the only road game against a winning team.


Maybe they'll be playing Mellencamp after the game..".Hurt' So Good"...


Sunday 6:30PM

Bengals +1.5 over Chiefs. (25 Units).
This is the best underdog in 10 years.

First and foremost the most important capping factors, are the three games between these two teams with the starting QB's.
Cincy is 3-0 SU and same 3-0 ats.
Looking at head-to-head games, we have a stat that may surprise many.
In passing yardage Borrow has won all three games
GM 1. .Burrow 415 yds . Mahomes 259
GM 2. Burrow 243 . Mahomes 236
GM 3. Burrow 279 . Mahomes 211

Mahomes' lowest passing games are the last 2 without former WR Hill.
Two (2) games were 3 points apart in final score. One game was 7 points.
All SU wins by Cincy and all as the
underdog.

In the most recent game, Cincy suffered in the run game by only rushing for 60 yds. Burrow was very effective and had zero ints.
Mahomes also was effective and had zero ints.
No fumbles by either team as well.
So it comes down to who was better.

The Bengals out yarded KC in 2 games and KC was better in 1 game.

The Bengals Win last week over the Bills was solid in the fact that Burrow was not distracted at all by the weather or being an away game.
In fact, its seems like Cincy thrives on away games. Theyre 7-3 SU and 8-2 ats.
The losses were to Saints, Browns and Dallas.
During those three losses the run game was gone. They went 6 starlight games running way under 100 yds per game.
They had another bad stretch again until they went to Buffalo last week.
Before that game they also had no run game, with 4 straight games under 75 yds.
Last week they were back on top running with 172 yds at Buffalo and passing for 240. Combined for 412 total yards.
If that run game shows up in KC, the Bengals win again.

KC is 8-2 at home.
In the last game against Jags they had a very select passing game. They targeted Kelce 17 times for 14 completions and 98 yds.
Mahomes had a total of 24 completions, so Kelce having 14 shows that they were able easily beat the Jags defense.

Other than the three games with Cincy, KC also played against Buffalo this year.

The game was in KC.
The Chiefs lost 24-20.

My Play was posted On Sunday night.

Line update. (4:45PM Tuesday)
KC now +1.5 or +2.
Mahomes?


UPDATE> Jan 25th. Mahomes listed as "Probable".

Unfortunately these two teams are clearly the public darlings. Little scared. I would bet the early game, and if it hits don't bet the 2nd game. If it doesn't hit, double down.

Phillly SF game is def going to come down to play calling and turnovers. Both teams are fairly evenly matched except for SF WRs and Philly DBs. Philly DBs can EASILY cover the SF WRs in space, so when we see Purdy with a clean pocket, he will literally hold the ball with no where to go, advantage Philly. However, SF WRs will absolutely dominate the Philly DBs when it comes to blocking down field. Debo, Kittle and, Kyle J, will have a field day out muscling those DBs. Really depends on turnovers and play calling. I have SF futures but I do lean Philly. AJ Brown is the wildcard.

If playing calling is your angle then you have to go with Philly! Shanahan is a moron, gave away two Super Bowls with his offensive (and the play calls were "offensive" to say the least!) play calling. Still at it as of yesterday! Wasted 26 seconds before using his second timeout before the half, eliminating any chance of the 9er's scoring a td before the half!!!

Concur Shanahan has blown 2 superbowls. Was outscored i believe 48 to 3 in 4th quarters of SBs.Yesterday before the half not taking a timeout, can be a delicate dance, the other team gets the first down and all of a sudden you saved the team with the ball a TO and time on the clock.I remember that, but i cannot remember down and distance and if that was a blatant horrible decision.Some times it can be a tough call to take that timeout with a good QB on the other side.Seen it backfire plenty.

I agree but you either go for it or run out the clock! I thought when he let the clock run he was going to half with the game tied. That's fine if that's your call. But don't go for points by not giving yourself anytime, it's just terrible coaching! His previous Super Bowl blunders confirms that he is not conservative, just an idiot. Plus Dallas only had one timeout left, so you basically had full control of the clock in that specific situation.

Lets talk context
Now lets assume Mahomes is relatively healthy
I know we don't know but we saw this happen after KC/Browns
Everyone was on the Bills and they got smoked

Everyone assumes because Burrow is 3-0 vs Mahomes that means something
BUt two of those were at home and barely won
Last year KC may have been the better team but off 2 40 point games, a game they should have lost to the Bills and an OT game at that there was a rough situation for KC

Last year both Bills and KC probably were better than the Bengals. IMO Bengals are the best team this year, but winning at KC and Buffalo is rough and KC has been more consistent than the BIlls
You can guarantee KC gets more pressure on Burrow than the Bills
Some people think Bengals are some sort of lock and I don't
All that being said if I play it I have to take the better team and it is Cincy or take nothing

He is listed as ? as of today Tuesday. Early bet line was the right play. If Mahomes is removed from ? list the line goes up. KC backers lay more.
Cincy isnt afraid of KC. The Bengals w/Burrow never scored less than 27 points against Reid.
Also Cincy now has a better defense as they're ranked #6 in points allowed.

If Mahomes doesn't play The Chiefs become the dog. Bengal bettors who wlaready have the pts will be able to add if it goes up.

Your word "Relatively" isnt good enough in this game. He will need to be 100%.
If Henne starts he is a very good competent QB that usually doesnt lose games by playing poorly. He moved the ball well in the 3rd qtr. But can he be solid for 4 qtrs?

If the lines crosses over past 2, the game could be safely bet and middled as well.

If youre using the word LOCK towards my post then say so. I didnt say that.
But since you posted that comment in my thread it looks that way. No problem.
I dont have Connections or Inside Info. which you didn't ciritisize elsewhere when that was posted.

"Best Underdog in 10 years" is because of a wounded difference-maker with no certainty of being healthy. High ankle sprains are problematic especially if re-stressed when playing.

True line would be 4.5 or less but Mahomes is far more difficult to replace and still win..
If his mobility isn't compromised, the line will only go up. Wednesdays practice may divulge a lot. We'll see.

We have an early indication of an INJURED QB and the line reflects a minor Injury number. Mahomes is worth a whole lot more than a 3 pt spread advantage if he does play.
He was favored -2.5 over Bengals on Dec 4th In Cincy.

If Henne starts the Chiefs will definitely be the dog.

One thing that was vivid in the Buffalo game was that the coaching made a hughe difference and that O-line was great protectiing Burrow.
Someone made a remark that the O-line losing 3 starts was crucial. It was. But seeing how the replacement players performed, showed that they are capable to protect Burrow.
In addition, Cincy has always had o-line weakness before they lost players. Maybe they're better with the new guys?
Thanks for the feedback. Appreciate it.

The reference to lock is just everyone and their mother is on them. I guess the general idea that this is a easy win. But I have seen some posts other places that basically say that
Nothing to do with your play
I would like to see Cincy vs Philly

More people will start to go with KC at home once Mahomes is announced 100%. If he is? Wednesday workouts should update that issue.

Its different with Hurt. He was still able to play with a sprained shoulder. It never affected his ability to throw. It was only a concern when he's moving, according to reports during game warmups last week.

FWIW.
KC is now the DOG at +1.5 or +2. currently. That should start moving the percentages to KC.

My bet ws placed on Sunday night at Cincy +1.5.

@G-Man! I answered this question and you reported me and had my comment deleted instead of answering the question lol. Not sure why my comment was deleted but whatever.

Is there an answer to the question @BigLouReturns asked?

The sad thing is the mods let this happen. Didn't list a single unit on any wager, was in the hole from his first bet of the season, goes 1-12 in the post-season, then lists 25 unit plays. Do the mods even read these posts? If they did they wouldn't allow that kind of crap to happen.
