Glad to report that the boys scored 11 big wins against the spread last week.
Lotsa big questions in this final week of the season. Who’s motivated? Who’s playing for what? Who’s resting their starters?
Let’s see what the boys have to say…
SUNDAY
at CHIEFS 3 Raiders
Vinnie the Mooch says, “Chiefs is in but they is going to play their starters, according to their coach, even though they got no playoff gain at stake. And, by the way, they is 7-0 at home.” Taking the Chiefs.
at PATRIOTS 4 Dolphins
Cheech says, “The Pats got nothing to gain in the playoffs, but Belichick is not a guy to give the hometown fans a poor showing in the finale.” Taking the Pats.
Steelers 6 at BROWNS
Bobby-Big-Fingers says, “Steelers is playing for a bye and the division title. They is 6-1 in away games, but they lost to the Browns in a similar situation last year.” Motivation or not, this is going to be a tough one. Taking the Steelers.
at RAVENS 9 Bengals
Sallie Boy says, “Ravens is motivated – they can clinch the division and a bye with a win, if the Steelers lose.” Thinking that the Bengals can’t repeat last week’s surprise upset. This ain’t the Chargers they’re playing. Taking the Ravens.
at LIONS 2 Vikings
Benny Bagels says, “The Vikes is a revived team with their new coach and QB. But the Lions has woke up, too. Liking the Lions at home to finish with a bang for the fans.” Taking the Lions.
at JETS 3 Bills
Frankie Nuts says, “The Jets backed into the playoffs last week, but they has lost 3 of their last 4. You gotta think they give the fans a good last game, no?” Taking the Jets.
at FALCONS 10 Panthers
Vinnie the Mooch says, “Falcons is playing for home-field advantage through the playoffs. Panthers is playing for first pick in the 2011 draft, if youse know what I mean.” Taking the Falcons.
