Also, I'm curious why the Packers are 1.5 favorites over the Vikings at their home this Sunday?

That does seem odd, tbh. Vikes have more to play for arguably because beating the Packers and Lions would secure them the bye week. I don't think Packers winning out and Vikings losing both games would even swap them as the 5th and 6th wildcard seeds (which even if it did, who cares?). Does Vegas factor in vibes? Perhaps the Packers are getting a calculated Toyotathon boost?

Yard and a half short.

I was really hoping he'd have to go out and try to kick again after doinking it, just to see him sweat.

Someone forgot to tell Murray he ain't playing Call of Duty.

They are already eliminated, so he has CoD on the mind

I know this is old news at this point, and not to give myself ass pats, but I'm still in shock this insider information ended up being true in light of Kirk getting benched.

Also, I'm curious why the Packers are 1.5 favorites over the Vikings at their home this Sunday? No disrespect to the Pack they're a good team this year and divisional games between them and the Vikes are almost always near 50/50, but I feel like gambling odds in toss up games should always favor the home team. On top of that they are missing players like Jaire and others while the Vikings roster is healthier and Ivan Pace is returning, plus we have a better record and beat them in Lambeau. It will be a tough game and maybe potential GOTY but the money line favoring the Pack doesn't make any sense.

Home team by defaults gets 3.0 favor. So a 1.5 favor is basically meaning the line expects them to lose.

FanDuel has them as 1.5 dogs.

On one hand, I’m rooting for the Eagles by default, solely because they’re playing Jerruh’s Boys.

On the other hand, the Cowboys winning might both save McCarthy’s job, AND put more heat on Siriani.

I’m torn.

Truly a conundrum that one can have

Just in case Pickett does nothing I'm already on my second 8.6% beer.

Hurts even if he was healthy isn't worth risking this close to play offs. No one will agree more I want to see Dallas get stomped but rather save the juice for the post season.

Baker has 4TDs right now. May get to 5 by end of day.

Edit: Bucs just blocked a punt for a TD. Glad to see a team making the Panthers look like the dogs they are.

The offense is okay (lacking a good #1 WR, but XL and Coker look promising).

The D is one of the worst units in football. Without Horn, the secondary is garbage. Clowney can't provide enough pressure on his own.

Fitterer trading away our #1 WR and then failing to lock up Burns really fucked us.
