    Is that against the spread or outright?

    Against the spread? That's the only smart play.

    You're right. I missed the spread.

    It appears to be against the spread, which changes everything.
    I'm a Pats honk, so my feeling is they win by double digits or lose outright.
    My concern was the Baltimore pass rush until I looked at the numbers - 37 of the Ravens 48 sacks came in seven games; home against Atlanta, Tenn, Jax and Cleveland, on the road against Miami, Tampa and NO. If Leveon Bell played last week, I don't think they have success getting to Roethlisberger.

    Rhody, I found a book for you.

    Or, the erotic novel will leave you baffled and in a state of shock, like how the Patriots feel after facing the New York Giants in the Super Bowl. Lacey Noonan'sA Gronking to Remember makes 50 Shades of Greylook like Madame Bovary in terms of its literary sophistication. The clichés about football-obsessed husbands and frustrated wives are pretty heavy-handed. Early on, the sexual protagonist complains that her Molson-drinking husband is pretty much an incompetent Neanderthal. Of course, he is also a Jets fan, which is why he is so angry, pigheaded, and sexually inept, a fact that Noonan, who is a Patriots fan, hits readers over the head with quite a few times.

    That said, I did appreciate the use of “butt fumble” to describe how the protagonist's husband falls against the wall when he's unable to sexually perform. As the protagonist gets herself off in front of her impotent husband, she moans “Oh, Gronky.” It's about as subtle as being tackled by J.J. Watt.

    Is that Lacey Underall's married name?

    That would appear to be the inspiration for it, anyway.

    Does the book have a section of color photos?

    That isn't any different than what he's already been playing through.

    I still think Dallas wins outright. 38-34.
