CD Newsletter Week 7

Pro football focus srs including sos and 3 pts for hfa says TB -8.98

TeamRankings says TB -10.4

Remember the look ahead was TB -7. They won at Philly by 6. Bears lost to the Packers by 10. How much can one upgrade TB for that win and downgrade Chicago for that loss to get this spread to 13?

I made the mistake of thinking the Bucs were coming off a bye earlier, but it's just extended rest off of tnf.

I hope that I don't find myself going insane on these Bears lines all year. 

Makes for a better series 

for sure,,.....

Malik Hooker will probably start as FS now. They have been easing him in for the last few games. He will never be his pre-injury all-pro self again, but he hasn’t been bad. 

Kazee had been playing ok, but had a disastrous game on Sunday. Everyone keeps talking about Diggs on that 4th quarter 75 yard TD pass, but Kazee had deep coverage and could have gotten an INT, or blown up the receiver, or at least tackled the receiver, but instead opted to just run by him and do nothing. He was there in time, he just did nothing. 
Perhaps he had already started drinking 

Sox Stros u10 was the sharpest play on the board.....complete over reaction to 3 grand slams...........aaaaaaaaand it still goes over.   betting baseball is stupid sometimes. 

Bengals D. is certainly not the one Devonte Freeman or Bell is used to seeing.BigD 

Man, all of this Ravens talk keeps reminding me of:

and also quotes from The Wire, keep popping up in my mind...

These 2 MLB series have been wild, glad I didn't make any bets, I would've failed. The Braves bullpen had been overperforming, until last night when it finally cracked, they were 2 innings away from going 3-0 up. While in the other series, both teams have been clobbering each other, all 4 games going over, will they make it 5 in a row?!

On your advice I bet the Bosox last night, but also added them in 1st 5.

2-1 on the day.

Thank you sir

 Be careful trying to bring culture to this group.

It's like a choir singing to the deaf

PS: Yes, I am part of this group

@Hugh_Jorgan

 So, you are the self-proclaimed gatekeeper, of his said group?

My bad sir, I shall restrain myself, from posting such materials in the future, your warning has been duly noted.

@yaongingy

 No sir, the gate keeper of this SAD group would be your friend Sac

@Hugh_Jorgan

 I fell asleep before the Red Sox bullpen meltdown. Pivetta was great.

I think Chris Sale is on deck for the Sox. He's been awful as a playoff pitcher. The guy's wind up is too timeable for hitters. Not sure if timeable is a word. If he took a pause once in a while his stuff would work much better for him. He's also very lengthy,  I'd like to see him throw his front leg higher to hide the ball. If you guys watch tonight take a look. Same quick motion every time. To the batter it's like timing a pitching machine in a cage.

Framber's downfall is walks.  The dude's sinker and change up are great, he's a ground ball factory. And that's what you want in that park. The Stros can go up 3-2 heading back to Houston if he throws strikes. His shit is hard to barrel. 

HUGE game, the most pivotal of the series imo.

In NFL news ...

The Browns are now without RB's Chubb and Hunt, so have brought a RB up from the practice squad.

Initially they searched for an old, out of work, washed up RB to fill in, but every available one has been signed by the Shrimp

@undermysac

 So we're going with the Stro's?

@yaongingy

 Anything goes here at ClubDirt sports. Just no over the top affection allowed of the Ravens.

@Hugh_Jorgan

 Not sure yet.

Also, aren't the Browns without both starting tackles? Baker has one good arm left...yikes

@undermysac

The Browns are not quite missing 824 starters like a certain other team, but their list of significant missing pieces is impressive.

Thus the short line tomorrow night.

Tough game to cap

Astros 1st 5 +114

Astros 1st 5 TT O2.5 +105

Think 1-1 at worst. Good Luck

@Hugh_Jorgan

 Let me know when they get to 17 guys Einstein....

Now they are missing Chubb/Hunt and both tackles....

Ravens 5-1  Browns 3-3 ....That's the difference...

Boyle best blocking TE in football look it up.returns Sunday....Sadly star LT  Stanley 

now out for the year....BTW   Prescott actually passes for 30 yards more a game than Jackson...

Wow...Aint he special...

@bigred84

 Give us a good break down of Shrimps vs Bengals please

I'm gonna give Hughj a coronary now. 

#8 is in my top 3 for MVP to this point. Combined yardage over 2000. Tough to argue, even to the bias.

@undermysac

 The winds played a big part in the Ravens ability to keep Herbert in check last Sunday..

66  and little wind will allow Burrow more success this week..Mixon is a good RB..

Bynes ILB played a lot Sunday for the Ravens ..Queen n Harrison inside had been shaky inside all year.

Elliot safety returned as well settled the secondary big time...Averitt #23..CB   is the weak link

replacing Peters on the IR...I'm headed up again Sunday...No longer the KOD...Ravens 24-20...

Tell Tigger to load up on the Bengals ML...

Nick Boyle TE returns Sunday as well...great run blocker..

I gave Vero today's play, yesterday. I thought he needed some love.
