* The Jags make their first MNF appearance nearly 12 years to the day of their last one. They lost 38-14 on 12/5/11 to San Diego at home in their last appearance.
* Denver-Houston is a sneaky fun game all of a sudden.
* You poor souls who live in Tampa and Charlotte and just get the local broadcast ...
* That San Fran line has actually already been bet up from 2.5 to 3.

Never

I'm surprised the Niners are giving 3.5 on the road to Philly. The Eagles are 10-1 and during their current five-game winning streak have beaten four really good teams: Buffalo, @KC, Dallas, and Miami. During SF's three-game winning streak (following a three-game losing streak that included a loss to Minnesota, who Philly beat earlier this year, with Cousins playing in both games), the 49ers have beaten a mediocre Seattle team on the road, the Bucs at home, and clobbered an inconsistent Jacksonville team, 34-3.

Are the 49ers really playing that well that they deserve to be 3.5 point favorites on the road against the defending conference champions who are 10-1 and riding a five-game winning streak?

Does the fact they played on Thanksgiving and will be extra rested contribute to that line?

What gives?

Lane Johnson appears to be such an integral part of their offense that he's capable of swinging a line. That's all I have.

Denver at Houston is the "Wait a minute, weren't both of these teams supposed to suck?" bowl.

Holy ship, these thread titles get better every week.

Who will you run to when your bets all come down, @Cosmo?

It was the Nothin' At All Bowl. So much for that.

Maybe if they had the Magic (Majik) Man.

The only redeeming thing about Birmingham's lone season in the CFL was using the guitar riff from Barracuda as the first down celebration music, in honor of the mascot.

I liked Aaron Rodgers because he tells it like it is.

I am astonished that SF is favored. Which means Vegas knows something and is about to build three new resorts off Philly money.

The Philly money line will be juicy, so win or lose I'll roll with it as a value play. Then, when I go to sleep I won't stop thinking of the riches rolling my way because These Dreams go on when I close my eyes. Every second of the night, I live another life ... of luxury.
