Turkey and Football.
Happy, happy Thanksgiving....
Quick Hitters:
The Chiefs beat themselves again. Mahomes can take the blame but the receivers have to catch the ball. They don’t have the home run threat so they have to grind it out. Can’t grind anything out with dropped passes.
Ravens are the team to beat. Period. Great defense. Multi-faceted offense. MVP QB. As long as he stays healthy, the Ravens are Super Bowl favorites.
Sick of inconsistent pass interference calls. Either let them play - preferable - or change the rules so they are easier to call. Or allow a challenge on PI.
Eagles have been winning some close, gifted games. Games they shouldn’t have won. They’ll likely have the #1 seed so they will tough to beat. But, when healthy, if healthy, the 49ers are the team to beat in the NFC.
Don’t sleep on the Lions though. They have the easiest schedule left of the contenders and if they squeak out the #1 seed they could be the Cinderella.
Now on to this week’s games…
NFL: Week 12
Last week’s totals: 7 - 7: Again. Three weeks in a row. Gotta do better than 50/50.
