Week 13 was profitable for most of the Newsletter regulars, many of whom cashed in big with the Steelers ML win.
The week finished with an old school MNF tilt that featured tremendous wind gusts and a big coaching discrepancy (at least for this game) that was so wide that it isn't often seen in the NFL. Said discrepancy served Sac well ... not so much for Hugh.
Onto week 14 ...
Pitt @ Minny -3.5 (44.5)
The Big Bens coming off a huge win against a bitter rival, going against a team which just lost to a previously win-less team that pretty much killed their playoff hopes. Pitt has everything to play for. Vikings, who will probably be without Thielen and Cook, have nothing to play for. All the momo is going the Steelers direction as should most of the betting public.
LV @ KC -9.5 (48.5)
Mahomes is 6-1 vs LV with 20 TD's and 3 INT's.
Carr is 3-12 vs KC with 23 TD's and 16 INT's.
In the previous meeting in week 10, The Chiefs obliterated the Raiders 41-14. Payback time? History says no, but this line seems a bit high for a team whose offense hasn't played well all year sans the earlier game vs LV.
NO @ NYJ +5 (43.5)
First head scratcher of week 14. Why is this line only 5? Taysom Hill will start at QB even though he suffered a Mallet injury to his finger last week. (said injury is called 'Mallet' after Ryan, former QB who couldn't throw the ball worth a shit ... ok, I made that up, but it's a good line) Hill and the Saints should be fine with his injured finger, as long as his legs are good. Look for Hill to run for 80+ yards this week and 2 TD's. How have the Jets won 3 games this year?
SF @ Cin -1 (47.5)
Second head scratcher of week 14. This line should be 3.5. SF coming off a killer loss to the lowly SeahawkS, while Cinci got 'big-played' by the Chargers, who finally allowed their QB to attempt some big plays.
Jax @ Tenn -9 (44)
I will wait on Getty to provide some sort of reason to bet the Jags.
