Pour one out for Vrabel. 27-30 straight up as an underdog. Third-most profitable underdog coach in NFL history.

 

Wild-Card round home dogs of 3 points or less… 18-7-1 ATS last dozen years.

 

Applies to Houston and Tampa this weekend.

 

But QBs making their first playoff start against playoff-experienced QBs are 17-35-1 ATS since 2002 and 17-36 SU. Erases Houston. Also applies to GB, Miami, and Pittsburgh.

 

Yeah, I like Tampa for a lot of reasons -- most notably just how banged up Philly is. Can't say the same for Houston. We saw that game a couple of weeks ago and it was non-competitive.

But more importantly, Green Bay and IUPUI are playing a matinee here at noon, and your boy has taken a nice little faded down GB -5.5/O130.5 parlay to entertain himself at work.

 

This feels like it could be a generally uncompetitive weekend. I think Browns-Texans will be good, but Tua in the cold in KC? At least most of us won't be able to see it. Bills-Steelers could/should be a real dud. I'll always err on the side of trusting the Cowboys to find a way to fuck up a good thing, but they theoretically should roll the Packers. Rams-Lions could be a lot of fun, or Jared Goff could do what he did the last time he played in a playoff game. The Bucs won't win by a thousand but they should win comfortably over the packed-it-in Eagles.

 

Cal State Northridge is 12-1 against the spread this season. The Matadors play at UC Davis as a 4.5-point dog tonight. Do with this info what you will.

EDIT: Northridge is 12-1 ATS. Minnesota, which plays tomorrow night, is 14-1 ATS.

 

My buddy who is a CSUN alum asked me to bet CSUN on Dec 22 matinee vs Montana State. Cal State Northridge was under my radar, I didn't even know they had beaten UCLA at Pauley the week before. They covered that day.
We are betting this one. I got +5. Could not find any injury news on them this morning.

 

Seek help, sir.

(thanks, gonna tail this)
