Post Thanksgiving Betting Action

Cape Cod Bay

Brewster, MA

Your favorite sports betting Beast emerged from Cape Cod Bay this weekend to consume turkey, view the Duxbury/Marsh Vegas Gobbler Game, chat with the fam a bit, and then sleep for 29 hours straight.

Defense ruled the day in Duxbury, where they put up about 90 points combined. The dinner was equally defenseless, as I hit it and split it. After a nap, it's time to place this week's bets.

Today is a beautiful day, especially where the previous ones were either nor'easters or deep freezes. Let's check the menu, shall we?

11/30 4:25 ET At Green Bay -3 New England 58

See if I'm wrong..... Green Bay is a team we may see in the Super Bowl. We will by no means give them any inkling at all as to what we'll do against them in a game we have to win.

We're going to throw a vanilla game plan out there, lots of Blount, maybe some Jonas, and straight zone defense every play. Green Bay will feed Bill their A plan, which Bill will have torn to pieces by the time the game matters.

The resulting loss will be less painful when you know that Coach Belichick has just set the hook for a fish he'll reel in very early in 2015.

Also... I can't find it on You Tube, but there's a great video of one of the Packers explaining how the secret to their offense is that no one expects them to be sending the white boy deep. It ends with him yelling "Go Jordy!" over and over, laughing.

Green Bay, 37-23


11/30 1:00 ET At Indianapolis -9.5 Washington 50.5

It would be very funny if the Rams got 19 players for the RG III pick, and then is able to take a flyer on him in 2016 or so when the Wash finally cuts the cord. They can always try, try again when there's a RG IV running around somewhere.

Indy, 28-7


11/30 1:00 ET At Houston -7 Tennessee 42.5

I've said it before, but JJ Watt was born to be in an Abbott and Costello skit.... or at least named for it.

Houston, 20-10


11/30 1:00 ET At Buffalo -3.5 Cleveland 42

I like to try to Nostradamusize an injury every week, and this week, we choose Brian "the Destroyer" Hoyer. We'd need some help, but it would be fun to watch Johnny Football be handed a playoff run. I'll go "Hoyer, broken collarbone."

Buffalo, 24-20


11/30 1:00 ET At Baltimore -6 San Diego 46

It'd be cool if someone signed Ray Rice, and the cheerleaders walked out.

Baltimore, 28-27


11/30 1:00 ET NY Giants -3 At Jacksonville 45.5

I've actually made the Odell Beckham catch before (in heels, I might add), but it was when my 4 year old threw a rock at the sliding glass door. "You looked like that spider-walk b*tch in The Exorcist," said the man who married me.

NYG, 30-17


11/30 1:00 ET Cincinnati -3.5 At Tampa Bay 44.5

Not a lot of people know this, but WKRP stole Dr. Johnny Fever from a station (WTBY) in Tampa. Tampa will get even with them for that one day. Unfortunately, it won't be this day.

Cincy, 24-17


11/30 1:00 ET At St. Louis -6.5 Oakland 42.5

I didn't think that QB Austen Shaun Davis Hill would be favored by 6.5 over a Pop Warner team, but Oakland is an anomaly.

St. Louis, 14-7


11/30 1:00 ET At Pittsburgh -4.5 New Orleans 55

New Orleans has to put some distance between themselves and the NFC South contenders, and I need Pittsburgh to lose a few for my Johnny Football scenario to play out. Best case? Johnny Football in the AFC Championship game, during a blizzard, in Foxboro.

New Orleans, 41-38


11/30 1:00 ET At Minnesota -2.5 Carolina 42.5

I don't think that the 12-4 version of Carolina vanished completely, just mostly.

Carolina, 30-13


11/30 4:05 ET Arizona -1.5 At Atlanta 44.5

I see Arizona sliding off the top, just as Seattle is building momentum.

Atlanta, 20-7


11/30 8:30 ET Denver -1.5 At Kansas City 49

If Denver meets Green Bay in the Super Bowl, the Nationwide Is On Your Side guy will be taking on the spokesman from the rival Discount Double Check company. DDC has better commercials, but Peyton has more charisma than Rodgers. This hypothetical game would be cooler if the losing spokesman had to resign, or- better yet- had to pimp the rival company when he walked off the field, a la I'm Going To Disneyland!

I'm rooting for Denver to be eliminated from the playoffs, but that probably isn't going to happen.

Denver, 30-10

12/1 8:30 ET Miami -7 At NY Jets 42

If I don't get one of the top defenses in fantasy football, I just take whoever is available and change them around when circumstances dictate... and "starting QB Geno Smith" is a pretty strong dictation along the lines of taking Miami D/ST.

Miami, 28-0
