NFL Week 16. The Fraud Bowl and the Super Bowl Preview.

[Tyche]

New Orleans at LA Rams -4 - Looks like Olave should be playing and the Rams struggle against deep thread WRs. But the Saints defense is a bit of a paper tiger. They beat up on weak offenses. Cupp in the slot should feast. LAR -4.

Cincinnati at Pittsburgh +2 - Browning looked like hot garbage against this team last time they played, but has looked unbelievable since. Unsure which Browning we will get here, but I suspect he will be better. Looks like Pickett could be back though, but if not, it'll be Mason Rudolph. I think Pitt bounces back here regardless of who is under center.

Buffalo at LA Chargers +12 - Buffalo is going to win this game. And I would think they win this game by 40. Buffalo is superior and every way and they have the motivation to continue winning. Furthermore, looks like Keenan Allen may not suit up. But the spread is shrinking and players playing for interim coaches usually come out hard. Game would worry me if it wasn't for such a massive massive talent disparity. Bills -12.

Indianapolis at Atlanta +1.5 - Atlanta benched their QB and they're dog shit against the rush. Indianapolis is gonna hammer the run. Taylor back to practicing in full as well. Gimme Indianapolis.

Seattle at Tennessee +1 - Tennessee gonna need Henry and Spears on their feet and running. Because Levis is dog shit. Still, Vrabel is a good coach and Titans tend to play up as home underdogs. Will reluctantly take Titans +1.

Detroit at Minnesota +3 - Noted garbage human being Brian Flores has the Minnesota defense ready to play. I love a home dog with a good defense, even if Nick Mullens in under center.

Washington at NY Jets -3 - who fucking care? Wilson -3 since the Washington secondary is strike level talent.

Green Bay at Carolina +5 - I'm assuming Watson is out for the game. Love looked like trash without Watson. Green Bay also gives up a lot in the slot. Adam Theilan should feast. Gonna take the Carolina upset here.

Cleveland at Houston -2.5 - 100% depends on availability of Stroud. He has a better line than most QBs, which should provide him some protection against a relentless Cleveland defense. Cleveland also struggles on the road. I'd take Houston -2.5 all day long if Stroud were playing. If not, I'll take Cleveland straight up.

Jacksonville at Tampa Bay +1 - Doubtful that Lawrence clears protocol. Very difficult to do in a week. TB is also a strong rush defense. Doesn't bode well for Jacksonville. Bucs +1

Arizona at Chicago -4 - Arizona defense is garbage and Chicago defense has gotten better since aquiring Montez Sweat. Marquise Brown should be out too. Really love the Bears here at -4.

Dallas at Miami -1 FRAUDSTER BOWL- Two teams enter as frauds. And whoever wins will get absolutely no credit for beating the other fraud. Both Dallas and Miami are playing for a home playoff game. Lots of injuries on Miami side of ball that's been discussed extensively. Less discussed is the fact that Dallas runs a 3-4 base and right now, they have no nose tackle. Well, they spent a 1st rounder on Mazi Smith but God has he been bad. Not gonna solve Miami's line issues, but could help alleviate it. I think these offenses are a wash. I think Miami has a better defense right now. Front 7 devours rushers. Ramsey can handle Lamb. I'll take the home team here.

New England at Denver -6.5 - two good defensive teams (both top 10 in EPA) vs 2 shit offenses. NE gonna have to run the ball and run the ball a lot. Even then, the defense will need to hold the Wilson lead offense who should be able to pick apart the thin NE secondary. Will take Broncos here, but NE keep it close.

Las Vegas at Kansas City -10 - Chiefs are a mistake prone mess on offense. Their defense has shit the bed in recent weeks. It's not a Superbowl team right now. However, their defense was a top 10 squad earlier this year and they're getting healthier. I'll take KC here. 10 is a big number, but I think the chiefs start hitting December football this week.

NY Giants at Philadelphia -12 - Ugh. Eagles need to get right. It's sadly going to come at the expense of the Giants. Philly offense is still fucking awful though. Their point differential is one of the worst of a 10-4 or better team in the super bowl era. Whatever. It's the Giants.

Baltimore at San Francisco -5 Super Bowl Preview - West Coast travel. Prime time game. It's gonna feel like they're playing at midnight for the Ravens. Also, San Fran is historically great. Lay the points.

eagles played one of the hardest schedules in the league and have three games to pad their differential against the giants and cards. they’ll be fine

of course, if the eagles win each of their last three games by 2+ scores, people will still say their differential isn’t good enough

Jalen Squirts ain’t gonna have no throws after Sexy Dexy kills him.

[Mertron]

more likely that jalen carter sends pugh back to the couch

Maybe develop an offense that opens up your WRs instead of having one of the worst offensive schemes in the league on anything worse than and-1-to-go. Fuck, Siriani admitted to throwing a pass for the sole reason of trying to get a PI call...a ball that got intercepted. And on a play which he needed like 15 yards to get a great kicker into FG range. And he defended that play.

Contrast that with McDaniel who stands in front of a room of players and apologizes for calling trash plays.

God, Welt may actually be right. Siriani may be getting carried by the immense talent on that team.

Now add the part where Tommy Cutlets has thrown for more TDs than Jalen Squirts this month.

[Xno Kappa]

Oh no I’ve made a grave mistake

[Tyche]

"attempting very difficult throws" is not a flex. It's an issue. And that issue is coaching.

[Xno Kappa]

They have the same amount except one is being paid 250+ million lmao

[Xno Kappa]

You know what? Fuck it I'm gonna say it. Tommy Cutlets has been a better QB since he became the starter than the dude who shits on himself.

[6souls]

The NFL has decided not to flex the Ravens v Dolphins game on NYE and keep it at 1 PM ET as not to interfere with holiday plans.

[Tyche]

[Mertron]

ill just assume tyche is lashing out because the eagles beat the dolphins by 14 with their shitty offense

that’s almost their differential for the whole year! dolphins truly are frauds

[Mertron]

ill leave xno alone, he’s just lashing out because the giants broke him again

[Mertron]

"attempting very difficult throws" is not a flex. It's an issue. And that issue is coaching.

he also completes those throws. it’s the whole other axis of the chart. sorry it’s not on the top right
