Tuesday has Locks too!
Football Team @ Eagles (-6.5), O/U 42.5
Tuesday football! I love it. I have no clue who is even playing for Washington. I have no clue who practiced and to what extent. What I do know is I broke my “always take the points in an NFC East game” rule with the Cowboys over the Giants on Sunday, and it worked. So I’m going to double down.
I’m taking the Eagles. There’s so much uncertainty with Washington right now surrounding who’s playing and how prepared they are whereas the Eagles are coming off of 2+ weeks to rest and heal up. The Football Team had a nice run for a while, but I expect that to end here. I’ll lay the points with the Birds.
Picks: Eagles -6.5 (Padlock), UNDER 42.5 (Deadbolt)
Seahawks @ Rams (-6.5), O/U 47
More Tuesday football! All season long, I refused to bail on the Seahawks because in years past, they consistently proved me wrong. I finally bailed on them two weeks ago, and they’ve rattled off two straight wins. Shocker. But I’m not back on board. I still view this team as extremely flawed, and I expect major changes this offseason for them.
I’m going with the Rams here. Not only are they the vastly superior team playing at home, but all of a sudden they have a realistic shot at winning the NFC West after the Cardinals loss this weekend. They simply have to win out and hope the Cardinals slip up once in these final three weeks. Matthew Stafford silenced many doubters with how well he played last week. I expect him to follow it up with another dominant performance. I’ll lay the points with the home team here.
