Quick NFL Hitters:

  • A-a-Ron Rodgers isn’t going to make it back this year. I don’t care about how rapidly his Ayahuasca filled body heals the Jets will be out of the playoffs. They are not a Super Bowl team and have zero chance of winning a playoff game. Better get an offensive line ready for next year when he might actually return and play.

  • Charlotte cleans house. Ok, since Tepper has purchased the team in 2018 the Panthers have had 6 head coaches. The Pittsburg Steelers have had three in their entire history. Football is the ultimate team sport. Turmoil at the top results in turmoil on the field. The next hire will be critical. Revolving door at the head coach position and the offensive coordinator position will doom a young QB. Sometimes it’s more than just wins and loses.

  • 49ers seem healthy. So I give them the edge in this week’s game of the week. Eagles are finding ways to win but they can’t rely on receivers dropping passes in the end zone or mental errors gifting the Eagles wins. Still they win. They’re physical. They relish the big games. They’ll be tough for anyone to beat. Just think it’s the niners week.

  • Please, can we get a weekend of football where a game isn’t decided by a obvious blown call. Or non-call. Please.

NFL: Week 13


Last week’s totals: 10 - 6: A little bounce back.

Season’s totals: 117 - 72

Oh, and if you use these picks to gamble do so at your own risks. I’m a ‘gut feel’ type of picker. I don’t do a computer analysis.
