Hello everyone and welcome to another Chabdog Sports Blog of me making scrumdidilyumptious NFL picks based on very flawed science, numbies based solely on Taylor Swift’s game attendance, and a spidey sense that may or may not be turned on based on the amount and quality of tacos I ate today since my current record is:

Week 1: 6 Week 2: 8 Week 3: 6 Week 4: 8 Week 5: 6 Week 6: 11 Week 7: 4 Week 8: 7 Week 9: 10 Week 10: 9 Week 11: 4 Week 12: 9 Week 13: 7

Also, need to honorably mention that you have exactly a 50/50 chance of making any money off my picks based on my past performance.  Is this good? Well, if this were straight win-or-loss picks then it simply be par for the course. However, since I’m playing against a Vegas points spread, I would say it’s more like shooting a birdie. Not a hole-in-one, not an eagle, but maybe a birdie (with a little wind to push the ball in).  The goal for me is to clock over 50% by the end of the season and fortunately, I have a few more weeks to hit this goal. With that, let us open the doors to this amazing candy factory and reveal Week 14’s NFL picks (AST).

Tune in this Sunday at 9 am sharp for the “Bay City Controllers: Week 14 NFL Preview Show. ” ChabDog explains why this year, the Lombardi Trophy will return at long last to San Francisco. This year, the game should be played on SSSSaturday Night.
Other points of interest include:
Can Kansas City continue its charmed life?
Can Allen redeem himself? Ever? Truly?
Can the Saints ever cover?
Can the Eagles get a little more time off?
Can Browning continue to sizzle?
Can Well-read finally make his move on Dorothy.
Can ChabDog make it back to .see level.
As for Karaoke: Don’t Ask Me No Questions… about that

Another excruciating humuliation for the Steelers, who only witsh they had been this close.  Tonight’s victims of Belichick’s handcuffs needed another 30 yards,… which seemed more like a mile. The defense did what it needed to do … not its best work, but clearly good enough.  The offense was often listless, never reliable and definitely sputtering.  The running game was running on empty, and the Steelers don’t thrive or survive well in that environment.  The Legend of Jesse James is alive and well in Acrisure.

For the record @BrandonChabner1 is betting against his beloved @steelers again for the second week in a row and I'm joining in Patriots +6 @AaronPYorke @DarthVaber99 @DorothyDawn @chabdogsports pic.twitter.com/VZRIsaUvzO

THU DEC 7:
1.TNF- PATRIOTS @ STEELERS – Ooh that smell. Can’t you smell that smell. That was some rank stank from both of this Thursday night’s offenses. Nonetheless, I’ve gotta believe Pittsburgh’s defense does have ability to impose its will on Mack “Home alone on an island” Jones. STEELERS .
(Pick due Thursday Noon)
SUN DEC 10:
2. 1PM (EST)- LIONS @ BEARS — Rumor has it the Lions are a less than five point favorite in this one. Seriously, did the Bears’ stock rise so much with the Dobbs debacle. You can certainly call the Lions the breeze when that speed gets going. LIONS ALL OVER THE BEARS.
3 1PM- COLTS @ BENGALS — Gotta admit this hurts getting burned by the stache with the panache… Gardner the QB. But I’ve gotta go with Cincy. They may’be found something last week with Jack Browning. Browning might not have rifle, but he’s quick, accurate and in terms of composure seemed to have something special,,, not Saturday Night Special… but the one for Sunday afternoon. BENGALS
4 4:05PM-VIKINGS @ RAIDERS — Raider Haiders will hate this one. RRRAIDERS WIN.
5 4:25PM- BILLS @ CHIEFS (Noelani’s Choice) -No .. something tells me the Bills are gonna give the Chiefs a few more than 3 steps of buffer. MAJOMES wins this game with his legs. CHIEFS.
6. SNF- EAGLES @ COWBOYS — Freebirds, they are not. Eagles still look somewhat spent, and Cowboys have been wating for this game for some time. HOW BOUT THEM WINNING COWBOYS!!!!
MON DEC 11 (There are 2):
7. MNF {ESPN}- TITANS @ DOLPHINS -Sweet home Miami. Another rather dull blowout for the FINS..
8. MNF {ABC}- PACKERS @ GIANTS — Packers just keep looking better and better. Even a downhome simple man can see the G-men don’t have a snowball in hell’s chance to win this.
BOTH @ 8:15PM EST
(Sun & Mon Due Saturday Dec 9 @ 9 PM EST)

• “Nails” McPherson nailed a few more, and Browning was sizzling.
  If not for a somewhat miracle catch and a gadget play that blew a major gasket, this game would not have been this close. Shows you what an experienced back-up QB can do in one week to improve his performance. This guy was accurate, confident, and uncommonly cool under pressure. Maybe the Bengals aren’t really done for this year.
• Losing Chiefs had their usual beefs with the officiating, but let’s face it, the Packers are up and coming and lately
  you guys have just looked flat. Kelce is not involved enough, there is no serious speed at receiver, and the Packers were running
  and throwing on you all day… in damaging spurts. Yes, you’re winning the AFC West and going to the playoffs, but what then?
• Niners had the times of their collective lives. trashing Philly’s Eagles without mercy and casting some doubt on last year’s conf. champion returning to the big game. Maybe this was just an example of a team in need of a bye (or did they already have that?). The team in green just looked a bit hungover and was getting out-physicalled all over the field. Hey Nick, what’s with all those missed tackles?
• Good overall work by Flacco in a rather remarkable return, but in the end, Aaron Donald had his happy meal, Stafford was
  in control and effective and the Rams offense was back in good working order. Rams can, and should make the playoffs, and
  might cause problems from there.
• Wasn’t it the Commodores who said “I’m easy like Sunday morning….” These Commydores are definitely “Easy on Sunday Afternoon….”
• Steelers knuckle under to the Cardinals at home for the first time since 1969, but the Patriots are coming to town in four days, and there’s not much time to lick your wounds.
• Not much took flight in this battle of air powers. Most of the damage happened on the ground, with Atlanta getting its Falcons on a couple of costly Jet fumbles.
• Saints go down in classic Saints fashion, with Carr going down after leading a frantic and often fantastic
  comeback. In the end, the cold truth was a Lion receiver running free and easy, through the NO secondary in the Big Easy.
•  Chargers taser the Patriots with nothing more than a couple ofdinky Dicker field goals; imagine what Mel Gibson would say.
• Colts thank Gardner the QB for being there, as well as Ryan T. for spinning the ball the wrong direction on that critical PAT.
• No CJ wasn’t in over his pay grade, and no Payton didn’t appear to have all the anwers in today’s showdown, particularly at the very end when Denver got so close to taking the lead. These two could meet in the playoffs.

ChabDog’s Pre-visioned history of pigskni, Week 13 —
– The Chargers and the Rams win on the same day. You thought a lot of statues fell during the Summer of Love,
but nothing will fall harder and faster than Joe Flack Jacket Flacco when Aaron Donald decides he wants a Happy Meal.
And the Chargers will take out last week’s psychological beating by pulverizing the pathetic P-men.
— The Lions in the Big Easy is definitely the psycho game of the day. God knows there are almost no limits to what the
Saints could do, at home against an opposing QB who lately has had that deer in headlights look. But I always over-estimate
the Saints,and refuse to go to the island for them in this situation. The Lions figure out how to cut the Saints’ defense down
to size and that is end of story.
— Falcons finally find a team they can handle on the road
— Steelers will win, but by 5.5. Are you kidding? They will win by 5.
— Titans can man up at home, like they often do, and will force feed
a loss to the somewhat laissez-faire Colts
— Wonder what the Commies did with their 2 weeks off. Not enough to stay within 9 of the Dolphins, who
are pissed off they could not be at home.
— Texans/Broncos will be the best game of the day, bar none. In the end, CJ vs. Russell goes like
Mondale vs. Reagan.
— Buccs finally put a good game together, putting them at or near the top of their insignificant division.
— Niners are just playing better than the Eagles. Enough is enough, the Eagles look relieved as they
leave the field with a 10 point loss.
— The Packers didn’t lack for much last week, and lately Love has looked strangely comfortable in the pocket.
Like he expects something good to happen. The Chiefs pulled away from the Raiders last week (if you
want to call it that), but they still don’t look right, or dominant in any sense of the word. Chiefs will probably escape
with a win, but it’s not very impressive.
— OMG, why wasn’t an;ything with the Bungles flexed out on MNF? Speaking of flex, Trevor is tremendous.

…with another disappointing loss by the potent Cowboys, including
the thundering thighs of TE Jake (almost Jay) Ferguson.

the Chargers… 24% chance of rain in New England when the Chargers come to town. So LAC may go from being terrorized at home by the Ravens (like Tippi Hendren in the Birds) to rolling around in the mud and muck with the Patriots. I would take the latter.

I PRE-VISIONED IT!!!

1. TNF- SEAHAWKS @ COWBOYS –Cowboys will win by over a touchdown. Might be the easiest game of the day. COWBOYS BY 8
(Thu Pick due Thu by Noon)
SUN DEC 3:
2. 10AM- BRONCOS @ TEXANS –The Texans still don’t have a real kicker, and the kicker is that the Broncos are just playing better. Going with the team with the better kicker. Going Broncos by 2.
3. 10AM- COLTS @ TITANS — 2 in a row for the suddenly competent Titans? Colts don’t typically do much away from wherever they cal home, but in this situation, they should win by 1. COLTS BY 1.
4. 10AM- CARDINALS @ STEELERS — Steelers roar back against a tougher than expected bunch of Cardinals, and win by 5. STEELERS BY A HANDFUL.
5. 1:25PM- 49ERS @ EAGLES — Really interesting game. The Niners are playing better right now, and will beat up the Eagles by 4. NINERS BY 4.
6. 1:25PM- BROWNS @ RAMS — Ramming speed is all the rage, and Stafford and Co. should expunge the Brown stains by 3.5… or more. RAMS WIN BY 8.
7. SNF- CHIEFS @ PACKERS
MON DEC 4: This will probably be closer than most people think. The Chiefs just don’t scare me that much anymore. CHIEFS BY 4.
8. MNF- BENGALS @ JAGUARS — This is capcake game of the No. 2. The Bengals have dentures, not teeth, with no Burrow. JAGS WILL WIN BY 11.

Kevy’s Vikey’s spent bit too much time hob nobbing with the Dobbs lobs, and in a game too messy for slobs, Da Bears are victorious. Gotta actually give both QB’s lots of credit for not quitting on themselves, when either one easily could’ve.
Chicago remains one of those bad team, that can still thrive in the prime time…
in the NFL you just never know.

• I was on a cruise this week so I simply posted my first four picks on X (Twitter) @darthvaber99. So follow me there to always catch my latest picks, pics, or need a direct link to my latest blog! See below my four first picks:

• STEELERS -1 | Bengals: Joe Burrow out
• JAGUARS | TEXANS +1: Houston must topple the Jags here to be crowned King of the AFC South.
• BUCS +2.5 | COLTS: Bucs last 2 games had much better opponents with better results vs the Colts last 2 winning games.
• PANTHERS | TITANS -3.5: Two terrible teams going head to head and hoping the Titans are having an on day.
• PATRIOTS -3 | GIANTS: Giants are hurt, and the Pats are in a better position to win.
• SAINTS -1 | FALCONS: Derek Carr is back from a concussion and the Saints have scored better than the Falcons over the last 3 games.
• BROWNS | BRONCOS -2.5: Broncos are on a 4-game winning streak with the 5th game at home.
• RAMS -1 | CARDINALS: Rams offensive numbies are better (QB & WR), and coming off a win in Seattle.
• CHIEFS | RAIDERS +9.5: The Raiders have enough offensive (RB & WR) to keep the game within 9.5 points at home (Las Vegas).
• BILLS | EAGLES -3.5: Eagles are locked and loaded at home to beat a Bills team that has not lived up to their hype this season.
• RAVENS -4 | CHARGERS: Lamar Jackson has had a great season so far and has beaten decent opponents in the last 5 games. Justin Herbert also having a great season but is in last place in the AFC West and recently lost to the Packers.
• BEARS | VIKINGS -3.5: Hold up, let Vikings QB Joshua Dobbs cook.

that sacred intense grudge match known as The Game takes place. It’s always a special pleasure to watch these two almost mythical Big Ten programs collidge like a couple of very angry Rams…. this time in The Big House. I like Ohio St.’s chances, but how can you go against Michigan, in the Big House, and all those intangibles. Michigan 24 – Ohio St. 20… Woah Nellie.
It’s time to take a side and get off the fence, on this week’s “Treading in the Dead Sea of spread betting” Week 12 CDST Show. Some compelling NFL matchups including the Jags getting welcomed by The Texans, the Steelers sending out feelers in the Queen City, Mcvay on a trip through the desert with his resurgent Rams, the bi-annual bloodsport that is New Orleans vs. Atlanta, and the hardscrabble Browns against the in-the-money man-phillies of Payton. This is, surprisingly enough, looking like a week flush with a plethora of fantastic finishes. ChabDog, Well-read, one hot hot hot Abe, the speaking of hot hot hot Dorothy Dawn, and Aaron the Duke of Yorke do their best to navigate.

Football We’re Thankful For On Thanksgiving, 2023:
–The Niners defense was a thing of beauty tonight; by the start of the second half
it was squeezing the Seahawk offense like a python. Hospital Ward was operating very closely on a helpless Metcalf, and d-line enveloped Geno like an advancing shadow,
As for the offense, Brock Purdy’s closing TD was epic, and the Mccaffrey/Samuel 1-2 punch was rock’m sock’m.
–Love looked lovely, while the Lions hardly looked concerned about the rude wake-up call they got just last week.
Campbell was right; it was/is his responsibility to eliminate the apathy that comes with success.
–Cowboys’ Bland equity is certainly livin large these days, as
the Commanders llimp into town and don’t have command of anything.

I’d love some Snake on the menu tomorrow, but I’ll just have to settle for
some turkey and Lions. Happy Thanksgiving from ChabDog Sports … thank god we made it …

1.– PACKERS @ LIONS: Feed the Packers to the Lions. Lions win.
2- 1:30 PM COMMANDERS @ COWBOYS: Thank you for the lay up. Cowboys win.
3-5:20 PM 49ERS @ SEAHAWKS — If Geno thought last week was rough… Niners win.
4-NOON (Amazon) DOLPHINS @ JETS– The Jets have forgotten how to win. Dolphins win.
5- 10 AM SAINTS @ FALCONS — I routinely get both these teams wrong, so at least that can’t happen this week. Even a blind Saint sometimes finds a nut on the road. Saints win.
6-10 AM PANTHERS @ TITANS — This one game that Flex Levis can definitely win… I think… Going Ti-tans.
7-1:05 PM BROWNS @ BRONCOS (Peter’s Pick-TY) — Terrific pick. More blood, guts and gore for the Browns, … all they need is Frank Gore. But they don’t have him and they don’t have the guy that Sierra is so high on. Broncos all the way baby!!!
8-1:25 PM BILLS @ EAGLES –Bills beat the crap outta the Jets and the Jets beat the Eagles, … so the Bills will beat the Eagles… right? No freaking way. Eagles quash the Bills and Josh.
9-SNF: RAVENS @ CHARGERS –Why the @#$#@$ would I give the Chargers credit for anything right now? A team that can’t tackle has no chance against the brazen Ravens. Ravens win and give yet another testimonial to the power of the AFC North. This game screams Ravens!!!
MONDAY NOV 27:
10-MNF: BEARS @ VIKINGS — Vikings have every reason to want to win this more. But something tells me the Bears will give them a scare. But it’s not enough. Vikings win.

I feel like one of those soldiers playing Russian Roulette in “Deerhunter” trying to pick my winner in this week’s Survivor Pool
What shark infested waters… whether to go with Josh Dobbs on the job in Minny, against the very pissed off Bears or the rarely right Tt-tans at home against the Panthers. Or maybe the Broncos at home against the Browns, or Colts at home against TB. And what about the Lambs trying to find their way in the desert. Any other choices are pretty much out of question, pure suicide or taken off my plate.

Aw shucks, the former Big Red had no business involved in a serious scrum
with the very big red Ws. Badgers break through in OT, while Chubba and Co.
are .500 chasers.

This season could have been worse for Northwestern; they’re going bowling,
Sparty spanks the looser Hoosiers with a swift kick in the ass from its big baller, Mr. Maliq.while, as usual, Perdue can’t even find shoes the right size.

Was this a game between U of I and IU, or vice versa.
Whatever it was, it had Iowa written all over it.

Was it the new offensive coordinator, or just maybe the new case of Air Allen, not Air Allar, that
put Rutgers back in the same old Rut.

So Michigan’s perfect year stays in tact. But let’s be clear here…
this was absolutely no referendum on their emergence as a serious threat for the National Championship.
A much bigger test will come next week. What I saw today, impressed me in terms of their brute power in the area
of running it down your throat. But the passing game has been laregly non-existent … perhaps a bit by design,
but McCarthy hasn’t been impressing much lately. And the defense in general wasn’t exactly suffocating.
This game gives Ohio State significant hope, even in the Big House.

The OSU warms up for The Game, when McCord cuts the cord pretty quickly on the Gophers’ umbillical. .

Yes, it’s tough work picking against the spread, and the season’s getting a little long in the tooth, with those intense divisional matchups coming front and center.  Steelers vs. Browns, Seahawks vs. Rams, Titans vs. Jags, Jets vs. Bills, G-men vs. Commies, Bears vs. Lions, are a serious seven that come to mind.  One thing I do know …. the Streets of San Francisco are now clean, just like the royal penis, and Fall freshening up is definitely in order.  And after pre-visioning the course of events on sacred Sunday, we’ll turn to Monday night, when tush push meets walk this way Pat …. and the question remains, who will get pushed ot the sidewalk.

Say, it ‘aint so Joe? As you go, so go the Bengals.
Hey, the sad truth is that if you aren’t ready to really brawl, you’re going to lose control of the ball to Baltimore. That’s all. And tonight, Cincy wasn’t ready to brawl. Just ask Pittsburgh … we know what’s involved.

I’m a spy
banished from the Big House of Maize and Blue Love.
I know the dream
That you’re dreamin’ of
I know the word
That you long to hear
I know your deepest secret fear
because my video recorder is here…

On tonight’s MNF, lust for not losing leads Buffalo to futz with Lutz using too many men.
The result is a lethal Mulligan from five yards closer, and Denver wins a game it truly deserved to win.
That guy out there leading the Broncos reminded me of the resourceful Russell who engineered, through brute willpower,
so many memorable comebacks. Tonight, Denver controlled the pace of the game and created more scoring opportunities for itself,
than did the more explosive, but chronically unreliable Bills. I continue to see a lot of problems simmering below the surface for the Bills,
who seemed to think they had to win, under the circumstances. But the Bills have become incredibly predictable and boring.
Josh Allen just isn’t the Imperial improv. he used to be, and the rest of the lineup is, somewhat underwhelming.
Denver’s on the rise. Buffalo is imploding.

• I disagree with MJD on CJ Stroud being now loudly on the stage as MVP; what about sounding off for Jared Goff, quite a cool customer is he.
• But I agree with MJD that the Steelers will win the AFC North. They have the defense, and they now think they might well having the running game… to go with the clutch QB. And how about one-step further… they’ll play the Brownies in the AFC Championship. Other than on a good day the Chiefs, nobody in the AFC is out of reach.

Hey everyone and welcome to another episode of me making shitty picks based on flawed science, numbies based solely on Taylor Swift’s game attendance, and very mistaken logic since my current record is:

Week 1: 6 Week 2: 8 Week 3: 6 Week 4: 8 Week 5: 6 Week 6: 11 Week 7: 4 Week 8: 7 Week 9: 10

Also, need to honorably mention that fading me statistically (51.75%) gives you a better chance of making any money from my NFL picks, hence, Abe’s Shitty NFL Picks.  So let’s try this again with the goal of trying to pick more right games than wrong ones in Week 10!

PANTHERS | BEARS -3.5: I lost this game by .5 point as the final score was 13-16 Bears.  I truly am a POS.

COLTS -1.5 | PATRIOTS: Two very terrible teams square off against each other with the Colts coming into this one with a better record, a better offense, and in Frankfurt.  So no team here truly has the home-field advantage as most Europeans are simply there to see an NFL game.  The only other advantage the Colts have here is a little confidence after beating the Panthers in Week 9 and the ability to score  25+ points against the SAINTS and the BROWNS even though they lost the games.  However, the PATRIOTS are neither the SAINTS nor the BROWNS, and why the COLTS are slightly favored in this one (and my pick).

49ERS | JAGUARS +3: The 49ERS look great offensively with their star QB, RB, and WR showing better offensive numbies than the JAGS, however, the 49ERS are coming into this one with a 3-game losing streak against teams with a worse record than the JAGS. On the flip side, I can’t even recall when the JAGS even lost a game as they’re currently 6-2 and playing at home in this one.  Lastly, the JAGS have beaten their last 5 opponents by more than 3 points and they’re coming off a BYE week.  Lock it in…JAGS.

SAINTS -2.5 | VIKINGS: The VIKINGS are in a funky place as both Justin Jefferson (WR) and Kirk Cousins (QB) are on the IR.  However, I like Joshua Dobbs AKA “Passtronaut”, and do hope he can put his rocket scientist mind to good use for the VIKINGS (rooting for the nerd).  However, we still have a lot of unknowns here and they’re coming against Derek Carr and the SAINTS with more offensive weapons and more playing time. Simply taking experience over uncertainty & beyond in this one.

TITANS | BUCS -1.5: Here we have another two teams with the same W-L record battling it out this week with the BUCS coming into this one as the hometown favorites.  Probably even more so now that Ryan Tannehill has been replaced with Will Levis for the remainder of the season who will be making his third start for the team with a 1-1 record. Hard to see a rookie QB beating out a more experienced one in Tampa Bay in this one, but glad the spread is tiny.

BROWNS | RAVENS -6: The RAVENS have easily won their last 4 games by more than 6 points, and it shouldn’t be a problem for them against a BROWNS team that has a rusty Deshaun Watson (QB) who still doesn’t feel 100% with his rotator cuff strain.  Little things that can make a big difference here against a RAVENS team that has been dominating their last 4 games and at home in this one.

TEXANS +6.5 | BENGALS: The TEXANS have done great in trying to keep games close or even winning them this season. C.J. Stroud (QB) has also been impressive going for 2270 yards for 14TD with only 1 interception. Again, very impressive with better numbies than Joe Burrow. The other thing that is in favor of the TEXANS is that the BENGALS star WR, Ja’Marr Chase, is still listed as questionable with back soreness.  Things that could affect the BENGALS offensive game even if he does play. Hard to see the BENGALS run away with this one. Lock in on the TEXANS with this fat spread.

PACKERS | STEELERS -3: The PACKERS and the STEELERS have not been amazing so far, but the STEELERS have been better in beating the Titans, the Rams, and the Ravens by more than 3 points in the last month.  Additionally, the STEELERS have had a few extra rest days than the PACKERS with a home-field advantage that is looking to beat the PACKERS by more than 3 points in this one.

FALCONS -1.5 | CARDINALS: QB Kyler Murray is returning after being out for 11 months for a torn ACL to his right knee.  Combine a rusty QB with RB James Conner also coming off the IR for things to swing in favor of the FALCONS with a low spread working for them in this one.

LIONS -2.5 | CHARGERS: The LIONS are coming off a bye week with a 6-2 record and a great offense.  The CHARGERS are coming off a two-game winning streak, but only putting it together to beat the Jets and the Bears.  Two teams that are not as strong as the LIONS. Well-rested LIONS to challenge the Chargers at home.

GIANTS | COWBOYS -16.5: You know the GIANTS are bad when taking the COWBOYS at -16.5 points.  However, when you factor in that the GIANTS have no QB, and the best they can do is Tommy DeVito in Dallas, ooooooooooooooooooooooooooffffff, this team is cooooooooked!!!

COMMANDERS +6.5 | SEAHAWKS: The SEAHAWKS are favored in this game by 6.5 points, yet the SEAHAWKS have not been able to beat a team by that much since playing the Cardinals in Week 7 and the COMMANDERS are no Cardinals.  Lastly, the SEAHAWKS just lost badly to the Ravens and could not even score more than 3 points in Week 9.  So technically, the SEAHWAKS couldn’t even score enough points in their last game to even make the spread in this one..let alone beat a team by this many points. Lock it in, COMMANDERS +6.5.

JETS | RAIDERS +1.5: The JETS got crucified last week with QB Zach Wilson getting sacked over and over again by the Chargers while the RAIDERS demolished the GIANTS 30-6. Yet, the RAIDERS are not favored in this one and at home. Yes, we can look at what the Raiders have done so far and say they havn’t been great, but they also changed coach and things appear to have gotten better for them since then.  So lets let Antonio Pierce cook and see what he has in store for the Jets in this one considering he’s 1-0 as the new Raiders coach.

BRONCOS +7.5 | BILLS: The BILLS are in a funky spot this season but mostly a dissapointment in the last 5 games.  Especially since they’ve not been able to beat any team by 7.5 since Week 4.  Including the dumpster fire Giants in Week 6.  The BRONCOS have also been garbage, but they’ve also managed to beat the KC Chiefs in Week 9 and the Packers in Week 8.  So we got the BRONCOS in an upswing and the BILLS in a downswing with the Broncos coming off a BYE Week.  All things that are screaming that the BRONCOS are not going to get beaten by 7.5 points in this one.

ChabDog’s last stand heading into Week 10’s weekend games:

Colts-Pats:  Colts should be able to withstand the little Mac attack and cover the 1.5, whereever it is being played.

Niners-Jags:  Those guys are Jags, and they are pretty good.  Yeah, I’ll take them to play it closer to the vest against SF than 3, and even to win the game. Why the hell not?

Saints – Vikes:  Probably taking my life in my hands going with the Saints on the road, but whatever.    Don’t expect another Dobbsian miracle this week.  Taking the Saints giving 2.5 on the road.

Titans-Bucs:  Titans getting very little respect against a Bucs team that is going absolutely nowhere fast.  Take the Titans and the gift 1.5.

Browns-Ravens:  Ravens by 2 field goals and then some.  I’ve gotten burned two weeks in a row by the Ravens, and “Thank you sir, may I have another?!”  Going with the Browns to keep it closer than that.

Packers-Steelers:  As ChabDognosticated on my Steelers fan page, the Steelers will have no problem ransacking the Pack… for sure at the A-sure.  Steelers cover the little 3 point shot.

Falcons-Cards: Falcons giving only 1.5 on the road against the Cards with nothing in the hole… well practically nothing.  I’ll take the Falcons.

Lions-Chargers:  Chargers are only getting 2.5 against the rested Lions.  Lions are not the Jets and are certainly not LAC’s compliant pets.  Going with Detroit.

G-men – Boys: 17 points is a king’s plunder full of lumber…. but 16.5… that seems doable, particularly given what happened last week.  Dallas does the Giants in a big, bad way.

Commies- Seattle — nearly a TD is too much respect for a Seattle team that has lately struggled to score.  Going with Washington the road, which lately has paid off apparently.

Jets- Raiders — Raider think they can still turn their season around, and should be able to surprise the world as home dogs against the Jets and their mutt of a QB.  Go with the Raiders getting 1.5

Broncos-Bills — The overblown Bills have no business being a 7.5 home fav against a Bronco team that is starting to look at least mediocre.  Denverackdoors in Western New York.

Texicans-Bengals — I was all in for an Alamo-style demolition of the Texicans in Cincy; however, there gonna apparently be no Chase to chase down those passes from Joe Cool.   Under the circumstances, I still see the Bengals winning, but it seems more prudent to see this as being a within one TD game.  Taking Texans to beat the 6.5 spread.

I’m sorry I’m so late…

Chiefs

commodores

ravens

browns

rams

flacons

saints

indiana

Giants

eagles

Bengals

chargers

Hey everyone and welcome to another episode of me making shitty picks based on flawed science, numbies based solely on Taylor Swift’s game attendance, and mistaken logic since my current record is:

Week 1: 6 Week 2: 8 Week 3: 6 Week 4: 8 Week 5: 6 Week 6: 11 Week 7: 4 Week 8: 7

Also, need to honorably mention that fading me statistically (53.33%) gives you a way better chance of making any money from my NFL picks, hence, Abe’s Shitty NFL Picks.  So let’s try this again with the goal of trying to pick more right games than wrong ones in Week 9!

STEELERS -2.5

DOLPHINS +2.5

COMMANDERS +3.5

RAVENS -5.5

CARDINALS +8

BUCS +2.5

PACKERS -3

FALCONS -5.5

SAINTS -7.5

COLTS -2.5

RAIDERS -2.5

EAGLES -3

BENGALS -2.5

CHARGERS -3

*All odds courtesy of Bet MGM on 11/01/2023 

Let me know in the comments your thoughts on Week 9 below, or wherever you find this posted on social media

| | @darthvaber99

Dolphins-Chiefs — I wouldn’t give the Chiefs much more than 3, that’s for sure. Chiefs are coming off a bad loss, and that might be the only reason I’m going with the Chiefs.  Chiefs cover the 2.5… probably not by much.

Commies-Patriots — The thought of the Patriots giving anybody 3.5 is completely preposterous… except when you remember they are coming off the bye week, and Belichick had extra time to prepare.  Gonna go Patriots against my better judgment.

Seahawks-Ravens —  Ravens giving away too many points is usually a recipe for disaster. Nearly 6 points to a pretty good Seahawks team seems excessive.  If they didn’t cover 7 against the Cardinal Sins, they ain’t covering 5.5 at home against Seattle. Going Seahawks… it may be time for one of those stink bombs by everybody’s darling Lamar.

Cards- Browns — yeah… this is really a bit difficult… the Browns are not known for being generous givers and getting away with it.  But this team from Airzona is mostly a headless pony… or at least one driven by a juckey just off sabbatical. Let’s go with the Browns giving an absurd 9.

Bucs- Texans — Since when do the Texans get the respect of 2.5 points at home.  Since they play the boring and functionally limited Succaneers.  Taking the Texans.

Rams – Packers — Slackers favored by 3.  Hah!  That’s comedic and ridiculous.  The Rams all the way baby!!!! Easiest game of the day.

Vikings-Falcons — A birdie of prey told me Taylor Meineke was going to be caring for the Falcon favs on Sunday. Yes, let’s go ahead with finding the Falcons worthy of covering five point five against a Viking team shellshocked and lost after losing Captain Kirk.

Bears-Saints — I took the Saints in my suicide pool, but having them give more than a TD is pretty extreme.   For my own psychological well-being, I have to stay all in with the Saints.  Saints cover.

Colts-Panthers — Colts cover the 2.5.  Yeah, they can do this.

G-men-Raiders — So they have no Gano, no Tyrod the bod, no Danny Devito at QB, but they do have Danny Jones. Oh boy, and the Raiders have no Josh, no Jimmy G and are giving 2.5.  Raiders probably survive on a Karlson field goal.  Can’t go Giants after that patethic lay down last week in the last minute.  Raiders are a dumpster fire extraordinaire, but the Giants are massive Cleveland Steamer left at Eric Adams’ doorstep.  RAYDES COVER.

Boys in the ‘hood to play Philly.  Boys getting 3.  This should be real close.  I took Philly to win in the Sports Rock pool, and I’m sticking with them here.  All comes to down to Jalen vs. Dak, and I trust Jalen.  Go with the Eggles giving a little field goal.

Bills -Bengals —  Bengals giving 2.5… hey why not 3… why not 7… they are the better team.  Of that I am sure. And they will take apart the pretender Bills, just like they di last year.  1000% behind the Bengals covering this… with ease.

Chargers-Jets — Jets still gettng snubbed, tagged as 3 point dogs at home against the still respected Chargers.  Yes, they have the offensive weapons that the Jets lack.  But the Jets have the defense, and that defense usually keeps them in the game.  Jets win this in the Zach shack, and blow the lid off of this spread.

(subject to modification on the show) LOL

Lots of hometown hereos in today’s spiritually uplifting win for the still standing Steelers.
There were the running backs Warren and Harris, who together easily outgained the much balllyhooed Henry. There was Broad-erick Jones, the rookie who stepped in quite capably at right tackle.
There was of course Pickett, who played one of the most clutch games of his career, bouncing back from last week’s
injury. There was D. Johnson, who game up huge on the game winning drive, and there was Pal Joey Jr., who made
Hopkins his closest best friend. And now we have the schedule’s best friend, going into a 10 day break from action with
a valuable victory under our belts.

Goodbye to Bob Knight, whose accomplishments were well-summarized by commentator Jay Bilas…
“Knight was the first Division I men’s basketball coach to win 900 games. He was the most prolific winner in Big Ten history, won three NCAA titles at Indiana, went to five Final Fours and led the United States to the 1984 Olympic gold medal. He innovated the motion offense and influenced countless coaches with his teaching of the game. One cannot think of Indiana basketball without thinking of Bob Knight.”
He was also the witty antagonist of the press and those pressuring him: “When my time on earth is gone, and my activities here are passed, I want them to bury me upside down, and my critics can kiss my ass,”

Was backed into a bit of a corner tonight, trying to come up with this week’s suicide pool selection. Took a flier on Carr and the Saints..
Seemed very difficult to find a heavy favorite at home this week. Cleveland also looked good, at home against Arizona. But what about their QB… not enough offense for my liking, and the Cardinals are scrappy. Pittsbugh at home against TN? Definitely, not sure about that if Pickett isn’t involved, … and even then.
Cincy over Buffalo? Atlanta over Counsins-less Minny? Atlanta?

• Except for a few sustained, well-conceived and well-executed drives, it was no
  beauty pageant for Bagent.
• Bengals extract some super revenge for those painful Super Bowl defeats,
  and rekindle expectations that this team will complete the business it failed to finish in February 2022.
• Steelers found themselves stuck in the rain and mud with wheels spinning against the Jags.
• Ravens spend most the afternoon playing with the Cardinals,
  but end up running for cover when it came to covering that healthy spread.
• Yes, one guy does make a big difference. Hope he enjoys the trip to Germany.
  He must have known I dressed up like Kelce for Halloween.
• Feisty Hawks win dogfight with the Browns, as Geno catches fire and takes Seattle on a magic carpet ride to the end zone.
• Nice Bryce over Proud Stroud… which leads me to question
  my past prospects for CJ.
• Really should take the time to better understand how in the hell the former Skins
  nearly scored 31 off of the Eagles apparently overrated defense. Bottom line is the Mean
  Green won and covered, which is just fine with me. But I still can’t completely figure out the Commondores.
• Didn’t watch this game… with I could have.
  My impression is the promise of the Colts (well, there was a little of that.)..seems completely gone.
  And when the Saints get quarterbacking like this, they are a pretty good team.
• So much for the Gano toe. And today, younger little half-brother tripped up his older sibling, or was it the other way around.
• Let it be said that this weekend, Levis took flight, not the Falcons.
• Really a collassal tragedy, as I was enjoying being flogged on the head by Kirk Cousins’
  increasing list of big game performances. And then this happens. I hope this isn”t as serious
  as it sounds.
• McVey’s wife just gave birth, and the Rams’ defense gave life to 2 sets of quadruplets… as in TD’s and Field Goals. Congrats Sean.
• Regardless of the verdicts of juries, no matter the final score, this game still
  shows the Bills to be a team with something not quite right, and the Bucs a team
  that never really got anything right.
• Detroit’s just oozing with athleticism, while the Raiders seemed to have maxxed out on Maxx.

Hello, Chabdog racing fans, and welcome to XFINITY 500, the last race of the Round of 8 in the NASCAR Cup Series Playoffs!  Today, we find ourselves in a sold-out race at Martinsville Speedway in Ridgeway, Virginia. Below is the current layout of this short track and adjacent facilities. The most unique aspect of this track is that it’s shaped like a paper clip with straightaways made of asphalts and turns made from concrete.

Qualifying is done for this race, and I’ve posted the Top 10 drivers as shown below:

Below are our current playoff standings (Round of 8).  Please note that the Round of 8 is made up of 3 races: Las Vegas Motor Speedway (10/15), Homestead-Miami Speedway (10/22), and Martinsville Speedway (10/29).   Today, we expect all the playoff drivers to push hard to either win this race or gain as many points as possible by staying at the very front of the pack with the exception of Kyle Larson and Christopher Bell who’ve already clinched a spot for the Championship 4 race on November 5th. Finally, a win here by any of the six remaining drivers will automatically clinch them a spot in the Championship 4 race at Phoenix Raceway next week as well.

Every week the Chabdog Sports Team makes on-air picks on the show for the upcoming NASCAR race and earns points based on the following criteria:

: Anyone who picks the winning driver gets 3 points.

: Anyone who picks the 2nd place driver gets 2 points.

: Anyone who picks the 3rd place driver gets 1 point.

Lastly, if no one picks a 1st, 2nd, or 3rd place driver then 1 point is awarded to the picked driver that is closest to the podium. Therefore, in our fantasy game, someone from the team always walks away with a point.

For those who are unavailable to make a pick, or do not make a pick prior to the start of the race, then that host is given the “chalk pick”.  The “chalk pick” is the poll position driver for that week’s race. This week’s “chalk pick” is Martin Truex Jr.

Last week’s race results:

With that, let’s get ready to NAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASCAR!

• This season’s gone from Prime Sublime to undercooked Colonel Sanders for Colorado.
  Sorry, but size matters and until UCLA leaves next year for greener pastures, you
  are just ittle water buffaloes in a little pond.
• Badger trap game doesn’t phase the steady Buckeyes.
• USC slips by Cal (should have been in the middle of the night) after
  a ton of offense and a bit of well-timed defense at the end of the game.
  Very high-Cal (in terms of points and respect given up).
• And I thought the stink Panthers played in Carolina. PIttsgurgh looked
  scared today to be on the same field with Notre Dame. And can you blame them?
• Bo is a bona fide star, and Oregon loves its Nix fix.
• Was this the game they call “The World’s Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party”…
  today it was just “The World’s Largest Outdoor Tail-kicking Contest”.
• The Penn State offense woke up just in time from their Buckeye-hangover to avoid another frontal lobotomy, and
  the fans ended up crazy happy in Happy Valley.
• So that’s why they call them the Sooners. Sooner or later they’ll
  end up losing to KU.
• Is Florida State really this good, or is this just a strong reason for de-Forestation in the ACC?

Bucs

Dolphins

Jets

Steelers

Falcons

Texans

Cowboys

Vikings

Saints

Eagles

Seattle

Ravens

Chiefs

49ers

Chargers

Lions

College games tomorrow that warrant watching —
Georgia at Florida
Tennessee traveling to Kentucky
Colorado goes for three losses in a row (is that right?) against UCLA… fight fight fight
And don’t you forget about OU at KU…. yes, KU will make the Sooners sweat a little sooner than usual

Who’s going to rule in a world engulfed by chaos inviting spreads so very cruel.  Just look at Saints-Colts … a clash that promises to be special.

And maybe the Raydes can pull a rabbit outta a hat and make it a one score game in Motown.

Then there’s mysterious Miami and a rather inflated passel of points it’s giving to last week’s giant killers, the Pats.

All I know is the week got off to an ominous start, what with the garbage comeback by the Bucs on TNC.  Blowing that lead was Rich Stadium Rich, Bills…. very Rich…

We don’t need a Speaker, but we need more than a few squeakers to go in the right direction.

Hey everyone and welcome to another episode of me making shitty picks based on flawed science, numbies based solely on Taylor Swift’s game attendance, and mistaken logic since my current record is:

Week 1: 6 Week 2: 8 Week 3: 6 Week 4: 8 Week 5: 6 Week 6: 11 Week 7: 4

Also, need to honorably mention that fading me statistically (53.33%) gives you a way better chance of making any money from my NFL picks, hence, Abe’s Shitty NFL Picks.  So let’s try this again with the goal of trying to pick more right games than wrong ones in Week 8!

BILLS -8.5: Baker Mayfield (QB) is currently listed as questionable for this matchup against the Bills so there’s a good chance the Bucs hurt offense will not be able to catch up to the Bills allowing them to cover the 8.5 point spread.

PATRIOTS +9.5: The Dolphins have both WR Tyreek Hill (hip injury) and RB Raheem Mostert (ankle injury) listed as questionable which would be a huge blow to their offense if they do not play against a Patriots team who just beat the Buffalo Bills in Week 7.  Both Mostert and Hill have put in huge offensive numbies so far this season, and without them, it will be difficult to beat the Patriots by more than 9.5 points.

JETS -3: The Giants may have recently beaten the Commanders in Week 7, however, they’ve been gawd awful before then.  Additionally, the Giants RB Saquon Barkley is currently listed as questionable (elbow), which only further helps the Jets cover the spread in this one.  Ultimately, the Jets have beaten the Eagles (Week 7) and the Broncos (Week 6) by more than 3 points so I do not see how any of this would suggest the Jets would not be able to cover the spread in this one.

JAGUARS -2.5: Last week I did not pick the Jaguars simply because I did not think Trevor Lawerence (QB) would be plowing through the Saints wearing a knee brace as he was checked off as questionable.  Again, Lawerence is listed as questionable for this game, but won’t be surprised to see him out on the field again wearing his knee brace and plowing through the Steelers to cover the spread in Pittsburgh.

FALCONS -3: I didn’t get a lot of games right last week, but I did get the Falcons right considering they had better offensive and defensive numbers to beat the Bucs. The same applies here, as the Falcons find themselves in a similar situation over the Titans (except that the Bucs are a slightly better team) and will use the same winning formula I used last week to make this pick.

TEXANS -3: The 0-6 Panthers are horrendous and simply can’t compute a scenario where they’re going to be anywhere near the 3-point spread against the Texans in this one.  Especially against a team that has already beaten the Saints, the Steelers & the Jaguars.

RAMS +6.5: The Rams have all the offensive numbies in their favor to not only cover the spread but to outright beat the Cowboys at AT&T.  However, both teams have been hit or miss this season, and with that kind of record, it’s hard to trust any of these teams with that kind of spread.  Going to side with Rams here to keep this game truer to their actual numbies.

VIKINGS -1: WTF happened to the Packers this season? Yes, we all knew Jordan Love wasn’t going to have a perfect season, but to lose to both the Raiders (Week 6) and the Broncos (Week 7) back to back is simply screaming your team is a raging…flaming…dumpster fire. Yes, the Vikings have not been stellar this season either, but they did beat the 49ers last week, and if they can do that, what makes anyone think they cannot beat the Packers by 1 point in this Pick’em game?

SAINTS +1: The Saints and the Colts are simply two garbage teams battling it out to be crowned king of the dump on Sunday.  These two teams have an identical track record and are both coming off a losing streak. The Saints are coming into this game with 3 additional rest days and a better defense.  The only issue I have with the Saints is that Derek Carr has had some issues connecting with his offensive players, although not entirely his fault. Again, not too much separating these teams here, but handing the slight advantage to the Saints in this Pick’em game.

EAGLES -6.5: The Eagles have clearly demonstrated that they can get the ball down the field by killing the Dolphins in Week 7 using their immaculate tush push strategy to get the extra yards they need for a first down and killing them by way more than the spread we have in this match up.  Easy breezy money.

SEAHAWKS -3.5: PJ Walker will start for the Browns against the Seahawks, which could favor the Hawks in this game at home. The only thing going for the Browns in this one is their defense, however, the Colts proved in Week 7 that they could get 38 points out of them and I assume the Hawks will be watching some film on that this week.

RAVENS -8.5: The Cardinals have lost their four last games by 10+ points while beating the Lions by 30+ points in Week 7. Signs that the Ravens shouldn’t have a problem covering the spread.

CHIEFS -7: The Broncos once again find themselves playing the Chiefs who lost to them 19-8.  I’m sure they’ll work on fixing those mistakes this week, however, execution is where the money is at and I don’t think they have what it takes to cover the spread.

BENGALS -5.5: Brock Purdy is questionable, is in concussion protocol, and will probably not play in this one.  That being said, we can expect the 49ers to not play as well as they would normally do against this Bengals team.  Also, keep in mind that the 49ers are on a losing streak while the Bengals are on a winning one.

BEARS +8.5: The West Coast Bears (Chargers) are in no position to beat anyone by 8.5 points, especially after giving up more than 432 yards this season and being an utter disappointment to Chargers Superfan Merianne Do who has gone 0-2 since going viral.

LIONS -8.5: Both the Raiders and the Lions lost by great margins in Week 7, however, the Raiders have been consistently not so good whereas the Lions have been consistently pretty dominant prior to last week’s game.  Jimmy Garoppolo (QB) is currently listed as questionable for this game for his back, but will most likely return in this matchup per the latest reports. However, Jimmy G has already thrown 8 interceptions this season which is concerning since he hasn’t played 8 games which could help the Lions cover the spread if he throws another interception in this one. Leaning on the Raiders dropping the ball in Detroit in true Raiders fashion.

On the “It’s deja vu all over again: CDST Week 7 Preview Show”:
–the lowdown on the Michigan sign stealing scandal
–The high prevelance of low T … don’t drink the water
–at min. 47, Abe waxes poetic about all those distractions
–it might still not be too late to change my vote to the Vkings on MNF….the absence of Samuel could be fatal to cover prospects
–a client call for Chabner Law hits the answering machine… a Rockford Files type opening is ready to go….. “Well-read this is the Blue Oyster Bar… you left your keys here”
–Nice job Abe, sniffing out the Falcons’ simple advantage over the Bucs. How about that Riddler?
–A Steel City celebration at Sharkey’s in Hermosa Beach. Should have been the premonition I needed to stay loyal in my prediction. My bad.
–Tyrod at the Improv… how unfortunate for the Commanders
–Well-read confuses his Indiana Jonathans
–Browns and Colts, was as I predicted, a total dawg fight; no wonder the Browns prevailed.
–Nice job by Aaron, whose stomach appropriately turned when faced with the prospect of going with the Raiders as a road favorite.
–I guess Tyson “I’m no chicken” Bagent was too much for Brian “Steny” Hoyer to deal with.
–Why couldn’t I have picked to profile some of the games I actually got right? LOL
–Well, it looks like the bad boyfriend Lions treated all of us badly today… after getting picked apart by the Ravens

Tune in to tomorrow’s “Is it like deja vu all over again in Week 7: CDST NFL Preview Show” …. with this slew of hotly contested games, Abe will be hard pressed to repeat last week’s prodigious score of 11 right against the spread. But maybe with some special sorecery and the right hat, he can do it. ChabDog thinks he’s just stuck in neutral (well actually in the basement) with another 7 right staring him in the face…but hey that result might not be so bad. Among others, we’ll be deliberating the relative merits of Steelers vs. Rams, Falcons vs. Bucs, Dolphins vs. Eagles, Lions vs. Ravens, Browns vs. Colts and Commies vs. Giants, Raiders vs. Bears and Packers vs. Broncos…. all with spreads less than 4. Your guess is as good as mine, but we like to hear ourselves talk… so here goes.
And some mention will be made of MLB … though didn’t we see this all last year. Houston and Philadelphia returning home with 3-2 leads and a World Series rematch looming. Oh joy!

— The long hot deep-in-the heart of Texas Summer swoon came a bit late in the year, but it has come nonethless.
Texas hands Houston control of the series, in what appears will not be a series won exclusively by the visitors.
The plane, Boss!
— Phillies throw their best 1-2 punch, and then some, at the plucky D-backs, and look who’s coming back. Kimbrel goes from rally killer to rally fulfiller; conjures up some very scary, Don Stanhouse type full-pack images from the Bosox days.

Hey everyone and welcome to another episode of me making shitty picks based on flawed science, numbies based solely on Taylor Swift’s game attendance, and mistaken logic since my current record is:

Week 1: 6 Week 2: 8 Week 3: 6 Week 4: 8 Week 5: 6 Week 6: 11

Also, need to honorably mention that fading me statistically (51.1%) gives you a way better chance of making any money from my NFL picks, hence, Abe’s Shitty NFL Picks.  So let’s try this again with the goal of trying to pick more right games than wrong ones in Week 7!

SAINTS -1*: The real issue in this Thursday Night Football Game is Trevor Lawrance (QB) being listed as questionable due to a right knee injury and this is no bueno for the JAGS. Without Trevor, the Saints will be both offensively and defensively a better team in New Orleans with the “who dat” crowd cheering them on.

 LIONS +3*: The Lions have started the season well going 5-1 playing against the 4-2 Ravens. Offensively the Lions simply have a better stack of weapons coming into this away game.  Additionally, the Lions have only allowed 64.7 rushing yards this season which will put considerable pressure on Lamar Jackson (QB) who also leads the Ravens in rushing yards to possibly throw more balls and risk an interception. The Lions have won their last four games, are hot, and hope they use this winning momentum to cover the spread or outright beat the Ravens.

RAIDERS -3*: What an absolute dumpster fire of a game is scheduled with this one as both J. Garoppolo (QB)  and J. Field (QB) are out with both teams sealing their fate with backup QBs.  I have no idea what shitstorm awaits us, but it will be very entertaining watching this dumpster fire of a game.  Either way, I expect J. Jacobs (RB) from the Raiders to get the ball a lot in this one against a Chicago Bears team that has already lost their lead rusher (K. Herbert) to the IR.  I expect the dumpster fire Raiders to crucify the dumpster fire Bears in this game.

COLTS +2.5*: As of right now, D. Watson is still questionable for this matchup and will roll the dice that he won’t play in this game, or play like a QB who’s missed a lot of practice. Either way, this should give the home-field advantage Colts another slight advantage in this game. Problems for the Colts include a strong Browns defense that might keep this game close, but offset by a weaker Browns offense. Colts to keep this game interesting at home.

BILLS -8.5*: The 4-2 Bills are simply going to kill the Patriots as the team has only been able to pull off one win against a Zach Wilson’s Jets team. Although the Patriots were able to keep the game close against the garbage Raiders in Week 6, let’s all keep in mind that the Buffalo Bills are not the Raiders.  Lastly, let’s not all forget the Patriots lost to the Saints and the Cowboys by more than 30 points and we’re only looking for 8.5 here.

COMMIES (COMMANDERS) -1.5*: The numbies show that offensively (QB, WR, RB) are simply better than the New York Giants. Let’s throw the Giants, QB D. Jones, and RB S. Barkley into the questionable list and we’re simply looking at a catastrophe in New Jersey this week.  Fortunately for us, we only need to win by 1.5 points to cash out on this bet.

FALCONS +2.5*: The Falcons may have a slightly worse record than the Bucs, but their stats show that they’ve done more than the Bucs offensively and defensively and it shows as a tight spread (see below).  Additionally, the Falcons have no injured players and are playing with a fully healthy team.  The only concern I have is D. Riddler (QB) already throwing 6 interceptions and the Bucs capitalizing on it.

Source: Falcons vs. Buccaneers (Oct 22, 2023) Live Score – ESPN

STEELERS +3*: The deciding factor in this game for me is that the Rams star RB K. Williams is out & weakening the offense of the Rams enough for the Steelers to cover the game.  However, Mathew Stafford (QB) has other options that he can use including WR P. Nacua to to keep this game in favor of the Rams.  However, Stafford has also given up 6 interceptions this season which could benefit the Steelers if he throws another one.  Lastly, the Steelers beat the AFC North Leader (Ravens) last week suggesting that they can keep the Rams in check this week.

CARDINALS +7.5*: The Seahawks are going into this home game with DK Metcalf (WR) possibly sidelined as he is still marked as questionable for this week’s game. Additionally, Metcalf has been a penalty pain in the ass for the Seahawks and could prove once again to drag his team under the penalty bus if he does play.  Little things that can slow the Seahawks enough to not cover the spread.  On the flip side, the Cardinals have been able to put up similar offensive numbies minus the injuries to keep this game closer than the Seahawks would like.

PACKERS -1*: Looks like we have another pick’em game against two teams that have lost more games than won this season, and boy do we have garbage against garbage here. The only real difference in this game is that both A. Dillion (RB) and A. Jones (RB) for the Packers could be suited up for this one.  Unfortunately, we do not really know about A. Jones until 90 minutes before the game. Either way, the well-rested Packers are facing a Broncos team that has given up more than 458 yards this season which could favor them in this one.

CHIEFS -5.5*: The Chargers just played on Monday and will be back at it in less than a week after losing to the Cowboys.  This time they’re walking into another brutal game against the Chiefs who’ve had the luxury of 4 additional rest days and a better defense.  That being said, the Chargers and Chiefs are evenly matched offensively and the Chargers have been able to keep games close, but again, not much rest coming into this one with any mistake favoring the Chiefs to rack up more than 5.5 points, which is very doable in this one.

Dolphins +2*: Yes, the Eagles are good, and yes, so are the Dolphins.  This right here might be the Superbowl game as we get to watch one of the most anticipated games this week with me leaning on the Dolphins due to their powerhouse offense that has kept this game’s spread super tight. The Eagles have a lot of ammunition in this one with the Dolphins giving up way more rushing yards than passing yards which D. Swift (RB) could capitalize on.  However, the Dolphins are the clear winners offensively as long as the football’s laces are facing out Finkle.

49ERS -6.5*: The 49ers are really good this season and have dominated every single game this season with the exception of the Cleveland Browns in Week 6. The Vikings on the other hand have great offensive numbies but have proven to lose the majority of their games despite K. Cousins (QB) throwing 14 touchdown passes and going for 1679 yards this season. Something that I feel will continue into this game as I have given up all hope on this team unless they can start proving some form of turnaround which I don’t expect to happen in this one.  Either way, the 49ers are looking for a feel-good game after losing to the Browns, and winning here by a touchdown + is a good way to start that 49ers winning momentum once again.

FINAL THOUGHTS

Wow, look at what I did in Week 6 with 11 AST picks and proving that you could have parlayed all of them, retired, and be now living on your private island. Hopefully, I will make another double-digit run in Week 7 keeping in mind I’ve already lost one to the Saint on Thursday night. Looks like this week I have balanced the books by only picking 7 favored teams even though it just worked out to be like that based on my sophisticated formula for picking games.  Also, someone needs to ask why Chabdog Sports calls the Commanders “Commies” but I’ll say it’s an improvement over calling them the “Foreskins” which we had in place for the longest time.  Lastly, I am simply amazed every week that we’re still in business considering the amount of shenanigans we pull off, and happy to still have a place here to pencil in all my thoughts considering that blogging only started at Chabdog 7 weeks ago!

• Dear Justin…. don’t you know that in the end, this bear hug would always be there, for Micah. And passersbys on the streets of Ingewood heard the whispers, ….it took awhile but eventually Herbert would be wearing Ware. Dallas squeezes Brandon’s baby blue Chargers for dear life.
• Eovaldi makes the emphatic point that his Rangers have evolved into Astro beaters.
• Damn if Kimbrel doesn’t look great, closing in red. Thank you Boston, for sending Philly two pieces of the puzzle, that really expand the borders of what this talented team is capable of. I remember like it was almost yesterday, when Schwarber started channelling the Babe and the Red Sox went up 2 to 1, with two more at home. Kyle’s bat is snapping, crackling and popping just like two years ago.

• Bearded Blunderer sowes his own doom with poor time management at the end of the 1st half, only to fall one yard short on the game’s final play. Tyrod’s squad is ultimately eclipsed by my Suicide Squad, and I couldn’t be happier.
• Ti-tans play like they were still on Tennessee time for too much time and booted by the Ravens somewhere in the vicinity of Big Ben.
• My apologies, Commies. As usual, I underestimated you on the wrong week.
  You were on the road… I should have known.
• Vikings do what Vikings do… take advange of clumsy, lumbering, self-destructive Bears.
• Bengals serve official notice they are back, with a refreshingly stubborn defense and it’s star quarterback with the swagger back. But Joe Mixon remains generally unproductive, and sooner or later that’s going to matter.
• Shana-man and his QB with the Purdy mouth done in twice by a Moody kicker.
• Raheem made the Mostert of his opportunities, and Tua was just too good.
• Minshew threw, the Jags’ defense caught, and that’s all she wrote for the Colts.
• Important win for the Texans, who held serve at home against a very competitive group of Saints.
  Houston’s starting to resemble one of those physical, hungry teams that nobody really wants to face.
• Raiders survive the loss of their field general, and with the help of a bad to the bone sack by mad Maxx, they cover the spread at their Plunder home.
• Rams find something valuable during the second half and roll to victory over the Cardinals. It wasn’t really the ability to work hook ups with Kupp… it was the running game and a balanced offensive sheme.
• Finally, Philly gets burned by an underdog opponent that stayed a little too close for comfort.
  Kudos to the Jets’ defense, which was just too hot to handle.
• a real dud from the previously plucky Bucs… another reminder
  about the depth of the Detroit attack and the quality of their defense…
  will try not to forget

Hello, Chabdog racing fans, and welcome to the Las Vegas Motor Speedway and the first race of the Round of 8 in the NASCAR Cup Series Playoffs!

Source: Las Vegas Motor Speedway Track Map – Bing images

Qualifying is done for today’s race, and I’ve posted the Top 10 drivers as shown below:

Source: Las Vegas Motor Speedway Race Results, Lineup | Official Site Of NASCAR

Below are our current playoff standings (Round of 8).  Please note that the Round of 8 is made up of 3 races: Las Vegas Motor Speedway, Homestead-Miami Speedway, and Martinsville Speedway.   Today, we expect all the playoff drivers to push hard to either win this race or gain as many points as possible by staying at the very front of the pack. Finally, a win at any of these 3 races automatically clinches that driver for the Championship 4 race at the Phoenix Raceway.

Every week the Chabdog Sports Team makes on-air picks on the show for the upcoming NASCAR race and earns points based on the following criteria:

: Anyone who picks the winning driver gets 3 points.

: Anyone who picks the 2nd place driver gets 2 points.

: Anyone who picks the 3rd place driver gets 1 point.

Lastly, if no one picks a 1st, 2nd, or 3rd place driver then 1 point is awarded to the picked driver that is closest to the podium. Therefore, in our fantasy game, someone from the team always walks away with a point.

For those who are unavailable to make a pick, or do not make a pick prior to the start of the race, then that person is given the “chalk pick”.  The “chalk pick” is the poll position driver for that week’s race. This week’s “chalk pick” is Christopher Bell.

Last week’s race results:

My pick: William Byron

Lastly, sound off who you think our podium winner is for today’s race in the comments below!

With that, let’s get ready to NAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASCAR!

There’s plenty to discuss, including my caper to climb seamlessly over some roadblocks in the pick’m standings, to the fall from grace of Neion Deion, at the hands of those strangely athletic trees, plus the emerging legend of Sam Heartthrob Hartman and of course the games…. including Giants against Buffalo, with no Scotty Norwood to bail them out, the Boyz travelin to LA’s Hood to play the fine non-Arab Chargers, the Saints getting into a bar-room brawl in Houston and the Titans at home in London and facing Action Jackson and his entourage. Plus, which Natty will be served with brunch, the one with, or without, Burrow the Great.

Mirror mirror on my helmet… who’s the biggest Heisman heartthrob of them all…poor Caleb you may no longer have a ticket to the ball… gotta like that there Sam Hartman, even if he doesn’t quite have the stats… he’s like a college version of Burt Reynolds-Longest Yard, with a hint of Clint and facial hair to make Kris Kristofferson stop and stare.

Don’t look now. But the trees aren’t falling very pleasantly for Neion Deion and friends. No, the Cardinal sin is to under-estimate your esteemed opponents. Looks like they’re going to OT.

Hey everyone and welcome to another episode of me making shitty picks based on flawed science, numbies based solely on Taylor Swift’s game attendance, and drunken logic since my current record is:

Week 1: 6 Week 2: 8 Week 3: 6 Week 4: 8 Week 5: 6

Also, need to honorably mention that fading me statistically gives you a way better chance of making any money from my NFL picks, hence, Abe’s Shitty NFL Picks.  So let’s try this again with the goal of trying to pick more right games than wrong ones in Week 6!

KC SWIFTS (CHIEFS) -10.5: Made my Thursday Night Football Pick via X.com before the game.  See the reply in the tweet below:

RAVENS -4: Again we find ourselves in London, England for another great match on the pitch.  I need you to know that I am 1-1 in predicting London games with last week’s Jags win over the Bills sucking for a lot of folks mate. However, this week the Jags are no longer in town as we see team Ravens-claw and the Titans-puffs go at it in a good old-fashioned quidditch match instead.  Two teams that are kicked in the nutz by jet lag and partying at the pubs all night.  Offensively and defensively the Ravewns have the higher ground and why they are favored in this game.  However, I am concerned about their loss to the Steelers last week and am willing to call it a fluke considering they easily penetrated through the Browns’ defense the week prior.  The Titans, are not the Browns, so I am expecting the Ravens to bounce back and kill the Titans by more than 4 points.

COMMIES (COMMANDERS) +2.5: Going with the underdog Commanders in this game simply because they have a better offense and have played against much better teams than the Falcons.  Sure, they lost to the Eagles and the Bills, but keep in mind they sent that more recent Eagles game into OT 34-31.  However, they’ve also lost to the Bears (a garbage team) and the Bills by 20 or more points.  However, the Falcons are getting their Wins by beating Houston, Greenbay, and the Panthers.  Three teams that are not that amazing.  So taking all things into consideration, offense, defense, and past games, I expect this game to be close or flat-out beat the Falcons at home.

VIKINGS -2.5:  Yes, we all know the Bears actually did something good and beat the Commanders by 20 points.  Yes, we also know the Bears are garrrrrrrrrrbaggggggge and have been a complete catastrophe before that.  I can also say that the Vikings have not been amazing this year, but do come into this game with better offense and defense.  Therefore, I find myself in a similar situation as I did with the Panthers in Week 4 where I also picked the Vikings and won using the exact same philosophy. Why change something that works, I’m all in with the Vikings.

BENGALS -2.5:  The Seahawks are coming off a bye-week and are probably feeling pretty energized after winning their last three games.  However, Joe Burrow is feeling much better from his injured calf and showed a little dominance against the Cardinals.  Offensively, the Bengals have all the right stuff to beat out the Seahawks at home with a mobile Joe Burrow and Ja’Marr Chase connecting being major factors in making this pick.

49ERS -7: The Browns have really been hit-and-miss this season, and are coming off a bye-week.    However, let us keep in mind that Deshaun Watson (QB) will not be playing in this game, and this simply sounds like a recipe for disaster for Cleveland. The 49ERS are RED HOT, and this game is simply SCREAMING 49ERS.

TEXANS +1.5: Derek Carr killed the Patriots last week so it may look easy to go with him this week as well.  However, we all need to accept here that the Houston Texans are not the Patriots, they’re much better than them. HAHAHAHA…gawd has that team fallen into the abysmial pit since Tom Brady left. So need to factor that Houston is at home and has greater offensive numbies than the Saints. Maybe why this game’s spread is so small and validates my logic here.

JAGUARS -4:  The Colts once again find themselves with Gardner Minshew who is seeking revenge on his former team. However, he’s coming up against a team that just beat the Buffalo Bills and who also has better offensive and defensive numbies than the Colts.  Uphill battle for the Colts going into this one in Jacksonville.

DOLPHINS -13.5: Incredible to see such a huge spread, but then again it’s the Miami Dolphins against the absolute worst team in the league and in Miami chico. Been a while since Miami could command such a spread.  The only thing I hate about this game is that RB De’von Achane is out on the IR till about Week 11.  Now, had this been another team, I might have really considered a hard pass on this 13.5-point spread, but c’mon it’s Carolina.  A Miami field day with this team is still in the realm of possibilities with the ability for the Panthers to lose by more than 20 points still on the table.

LIONS -3: The 4-1 Detroit Lions have done well this season and come into this Tampa game with WR Mike Evans with a high probability of not playing or being limited in this one for the Bucs.  A huge factor to consider in this game.  Sorry but the BUC stops here….LIONS.

RAIDERS -3:  Wow, do the Patriots suck.  Wow, do the Raiders suck. Raiders hopefully get Devante Adams (WR) in this one considering he’s still questionable. Not much to boast here aside from the Raiders being at home, and the Raiders finally seeing a W in Week 5, unlike the Patriots who haven’t seen one since September 24 against a Zach Wilson New York Jets team.  Again, not much going on here except for two really bad teams playing near a Tacos El Gordo (the best part of this whole matchup).

RAMS -7:  The Cardinals have lost their last two games by 14 or more points as their defense continues to crumble.  The Rams on the other hand have the clear offensive advantage in this game at home, and should be able to penetrate the Cardinals’ defense by more than 7 points with Stafford (QB), Williams (RB) and Nacua (WR).

EAGLES -7: The undefeated Eagles take on the 2-3 New York Jets with no advantage here aside from being at home among many Eagles fans. However, the Jets have done well to keep it close against KC and beat the Buffalo Bills. However, the Birds were able to beat the Rams last week in LA by 9 points so 7 doesn’t seem impossible in New Jersey.  Especially since Zach Wilson already has 5 interceptions this season and it would only take one more to get an easy extra 7 points on the board.

BILLS -14: The Giants have been a flaming dumpster fire all season and the Bills have been killing every team so far except for the Jags last week.  Are the Bills coming here to feel good, try to crush this team, and show dominance once again???  I think so after that devastating loss against the Jags. Again, let’s not forget the Bills crushed the Dolphins by 28 points the week before and we all know the Giants are not the Miami Dolphins.

Chargers +2.5: The Chargers are coming off a bye-week in LA to play a Cowboys team that may be missing their RB Tony Pollard. No bueno for the Cowboys as that may impact their offense if he’s limited or not playing.  The great news here, is that the Chargers are underdogs so anything close or a W is a cash out for us. Again, it’s a bye-week, they are at home, and Dallas may be out an RB making this an easy underdog pick.

FINAL THOUGHTS

Every week I seem to find a theme with my picks.  Some weeks I lay heavily into the favorites.  This week it seems I took all the big spreads and told Vegas to cash me out on every single one of them.  To be clear, I don’t tell myself I am going to pick them all, but as I look at every game under the shitty microscope I tend to find enough fault in the other teams to justify taking the bigger point spreads. Lastly, check out my picks in greater detail on the show, along with our other co-host for an hour of fun before kickoff every Sunday this season.  Let me know in the comments what you think about Week 6 here, or on whatever social media platform this is posted @

• The unbeatable Braves took another beating, at the hands of Harper and the hungry Phils.
• The ALCS now involves HOU… so sick of that same old news…. for what seems like the seventh straight season
• Doyyers pick their day to die a bit early this year, with the D-backs
  the happy beneficiaries. Is the Arizona pitching really this good?
  Or did the Dodgers choke their collective cojones off? We’ll just never know, what
  I do have a hard time seeing Arizona in the World Series.

1-BRONCOS @ CHIEFS — Another ho hum Chiefs victory, not as exciting for me as the one they had (I think against Denver) on “Thanks Jack Rudnay Day”. CHIEFS
2-RAVENS @ TITANS — Titans let me down big time last week, getting stuffed on 4th and 1 in a moment of truth at Indy. But as usual, I think they can take the Ravens.. For whatever reason, I’ve gotta go against my worst instincts. RAVENS.
3-1:00 PM SAINTS @ TEXANS — This could well be one of the best games to watch. Saints are slim favs on the road, and this is the second road game in succession.  Not exactly a resounding vote of confidence after that demolition of New England. Who cares. Their defense will probably win the game when it matters. SAINTS.
4 -4:25 PM LIONS @ BUCCANEERS (John Walter’s choice, TY) — When you’re talking about the more talented team, you’re definitely talking bout the Lions. But well-rested Bucs make it interesting. Still, talkin bout the Lions. LIONS
5-SNF GIANTS @ BILLS — Seriously? BILLS (no Scott Norwood to save the Jr. G-men. 6- COWBOYS @ CHARGERS– the fine Arab CHARGERS… CHARGERS all the way

— All glory is fleeting … someone forgot to whisper that in our leader’s ear when he discounted the Maxx resiliency of Crosby and his brigade of Sin City surrogates.
— Too bad for the Doyyers that Dave Roberts had his Mitch McConnell freeze moment
— DD gets sent home from scab school when she refuses to check into the TB-12 clinic
— Eric happily goes to that infamous island with his Boyz-friends. LOL!
–Rams body slam me with a completely meaningless 2nd half… live, on-the-air embarrassment
–Only Jimmy Dean has woken up like a tight pair of pants, ready to rip
–Well-read was barking up the wrong tree by hoping for salvation from Joshua
–another game involving 2 heretofore unimpressive teams.. Bengals vs. Cards… so I glad I took the Bungles for no apparent reason…
–Some of us “forgot” that the Steelers have lately owned the Ravens during the regular year
–Shame on Washington for breaking out those black and gold unis and backing away from their Redskin roots
–I was totally serious when I reminded everyone that the Saints could go into New England and win… to bad I forgot my own advice
–Giants are just as incompetent as NJ Transit… omg
–Poor Aaron gets stuck with the stink Panthers in abstentia.
–They’ve got some good Jameson in Detroit, and I’m not talking about whiskey.
–According to US Grant, debt happens!

Hello, Chabdog racing fans, and welcome to the Charlotte Motor Speedway…road course edition!  Yes, today we find ourselves on a 17-turn road course with some really cool viewing areas and a pedestrian bridge I wouldn’t mind finding myself on watching all the action.  Today is an important race for the 12 remaining NASCAR playoff drivers as four of them will be cut today.  You heard that right, we’re going to slice four of them off with the 8 remaining battling it out in Las Vegas starting next week.  Below is a preview of today’s road course:

Qualifying is done for today’s race, and I’ve posted the Top 10 drivers as shown below:

However, we’re not done yet folks as we’re also in NASCAR playoff season! Fortunately, those, “on the bubble” (9, 10, 11 & 12),  still have a chance in this road course to come out on top for next week’s race. Currently, William Byron and Ryan Blaney have secured a spot for winning prior playoff races with 4 bubble drivers doing anything and everything to win this race to clinch a spot for next week. However, I also expect a lot of competition coming from Kyle Larson (7) and Brad Keselowski (8) since they’ll need to put in a good fight to ensure they see any more playoff action next week.  So let’s see how we currently stand below:

Every week the Chabdog Sports Team makes on-air picks on the show for the upcoming NASCAR race and earns points based on the following criteria:

: Anyone who picks the 2nd place driver gets 2 points.

: Anyone who picks the 3rd place driver gets 1 point.

Lastly, if no one picks a 1st, 2nd, or 3rd place driver then 1 point is awarded to the picked driver that is closest to the podium. Therefore, in our fantasy game, someone from the team always walks away with a point.

This week’s “chalk pick” is Tyler Reddick.

Hey everyone and welcome to another episode of me making shitty picks based on flawed science, numbies based solely on Taylor Swift’s game attendance, and drunken logic since my current record is:

Week 1: 6 Week 2: 8 Week 3: 6 Week 4: 8

Also, need to honorably mention that you’ll have a whopping 44.44% chance that you’ll make any money from my fantastic NFL picks, or you can fade me for a 55.56% chance of making money from my shitty NFL picks (not bad).  So let’s try this again with the goal of getting into the double digits with my Week 5 picks.

WASHINGTON COMMIES -6.5: OOOOOOF the 0-4 Chicago Bears are simply trash this season, especially after losing to the Denver Broncos (another team that can go into the 23-24 fire dumpster). Yes the Commies, as we like to call them here at Chabdog Sports, are 2-2, however, losing to the Eagles in OT is also no small feat! AAAAAnd everyone knows that the Bears are nowhere near the Eagles, shit, if the Chicago Bears had baby cubs, those cubs would grow up dreaming they too could be mighty Eagles one day.  The Bears are fucked this season so let’s ride 0-5.

BILLS -5.5: The 2-2 Jaguars have a great chance this season to lead the AFC South and make it into the playoffs, however, the 3-1 Bills are starting to hit their stride and are simply a better team. Especially after blowing out the Miami Dolphins by 28 points. Again, we will find ourselves in London with no true home-field advantage with the only real advantage favoring the Jags since they’re more acclimated to the timezone difference considering they played in London last week against the Falcons in Toy Story Mode.

TEXANS +1: Amazing to witness that that the 2-2 Texans are simply tied with everyone else in the AFC South in Week 5.  I also like how people are starting to give them much more value in picking them considering they blew out the Steelers and the Jags by 20 or more points. Additionally, I’m factoring in how the Falcons just lost to the Jaguars 23-7 while looking at Houston who just blew that team out of the water two weeks ago.  +1 seems like a gift from the Vegas Gawds.

LIONS -9: The Detroit Lions are looking like the team that will most likely lead the NFC North this season if nothing changes moving forward.  Of course, we need to consider that the Lions come into this game as both the offensive and defensive leader while taking on more formidable opponents by two or more touchdowns in the last two weeks. The 0-4 Panthers are simply bad, and owe those losses to the Vikings, Seahawks, Saints, and Falcons.  Teams that have been struggling a little bit out of the gate this season with the Seahawks being the only team with a winning record right now (3-1).

TITANS -1.5: On paper, the Titans and the Colts are simply “even Steven” with the Colts giving up more yards than the Titans. The only real advantage I see here is the Titan’s offense cutting through the Colt’s weaker defense with greater opportunities for the Titans to kick field goals and make stronger offensive drives toward the endzone.  On the flip side, Titans QB Tannehill already has 4 interceptions this season and could give up another one in this game to switch the momentum and keep the game interesting.  Ultimately, I feel the Titans have the ability to get closer to the endzone with greater chances to kick field goals than the Colts to easily beat them by more than a point and a half.

MIAMI -11: Wow, what a spread.  However, one can’t deny that the Dolphins are simply an offensive powerhouse that is playing a ridiculously incompetent NY Giants team.  I mean, when Daniel Jones (QB) is his team’s statistical leader as a passer and rusher, you know that guy is just simply skreeeeewed.  I don’t know if he can magically do it all against this Miami Dolphins team without getting hurt and being sent to the hospital. Prayers bro…seriously.

PATRIOTS -1.5:  The Saints are simply in a bad spot considering that Derek Carr is still questionable as of October 5 for this game and his backup QB, Taysom Hill, got his ass handed to him against the Bucs.  Also, like to mention that I stated that on the show to much fury from my co-hosts who thought Hill was going to do something magical against the Bucs…like seriously, WTF are they even thinking???  Additionally, Bill Belichick is ridiculously pissed right now, and I can’t see him losing this game at home against a hurt Saints team.

RAVENS -4.5: Holy caca do the Steelers royally suck this season.  I mean, WOW just WOW.  How the hell is the spread for this game even -4.5 against a Ravens team that blew out the Cleveland Brown’s impenetrable defense in Week 4?  I mean, come on guys, what are we looking at here that I’m missing? We don’t even know if Kenny Pickett (QB) is going to play in this game to add insult to injury here. Easssssssssssssssssy money.

BENGALS -3: I really harped in on the 49ers/Cards game last week, and boy were they defensively awful against the 49ers. If the Cards repeat whatever the hell they did in Week 4 defensively, Joe Burrow (QB) is going to have an absolute field day with them. A confidence boost the Bengals need to get out of this funky slump they find themselves in right now.

EAGLES -4.5:  The Rams and the Eagles both have great offensive numbies, but let’s keep in mind that the Rams could have easily been a 3-1 team if it wasn’t for their OT win against the Colts in Week 4. Looking at their Week 2 performance against another strong offensive team (49ers), we saw the Rams lose that game by 7 points at home.  Therefore, it’s very possible that the Eagles can soar above this threshold considering they’re extremely motivated to go 5-0 with the Rams in a similar scenario.  Something that I referenced in my Week 1 blog recalling them having a stellar start to their season last year, and ultimately going to the Superbowl. See below:

BRONCOS -1.5: Hello Dumpster Fire Game of the Week between two real garbage 1-3 teams who are both miserable to watch right now.  Even better, the spread is this tiny because they both equally blow in every way.  Of course, I’m going to go with the Broncos simply because Russel Wilson is offensively better than Zach Wilson along with the mile-high factor in Denver, and Sean Payton as their Head Coach.  Also, the Broncos may feel they’re on the upswing considering they just barely beat another garbage team in Week 4. Unfortunately, I lost that pick simply because the spread was 3.5 and the Broncos beat the Bears by only 3!!  Ultimately, plugging in the same formula I applied last week but with a 1.5 spread instead of 3.5.

KC SWIFTS -5.5: Don’t let any offensive numbers fool you that the Vikings are any good, considering the only team they’ve beaten has been the gawd awful Panthers.  But I also need you to know that I’ve picked the Vikings wrong every week except Week 4 simply because the Vikings were playing the Panthers (a dumpster fire).  So if you’re going to fade me on any pick, this might be the one considering the Chiefs barely beat the Jets last week. However, Taylor Swift might be in attendance and she’s been 2-0 since attending so…

49ERS -3.5: This game is going to be great! Two great teams with decent offense and defense that have really done well so far.  Especially the undefeated 49ers.  So how do we pick a side here?  Well, let’s start with a home-field advantage and the fact that the 49ers killed the Cardinals 35-16 vs the Cowboys who lost to them 28-16 in Week 3. Also like to note that Brock Purdy has yet to throw an interception, but again, not too much else here in the stat box aside from slightly better offensive yardage over the Cowboys when plugging in the numbers.

PACKERS -1.5: The biggest factor in this game is Jimmy Garoppolo (QB) coming into this game off concussion protocol with absolutely no practice time and having already thrown 6 interceptions in the short time he’s played.  Additionally, the Packers have Aaron Jones and  AJ Dillon to either score touchdowns or gain enough rushing yards to kick a field goal in this one.  Lastly, the Raiders have been a disappointment so far, even losing to the shitty Steelers at their own home opener.  I am not boasting that the Packers are amazing, but theirs just too much negative juju to put any money on the Raiders right now and a 1.5 spread makes this pick a lot easier in favor of the quesoheads

FINAL THOUGHTS

OK, so the majority of my picks in Week 5 are the favorites this week, however, sometimes matchups line up like stars where there are real justifiable reasons to pick the favorites aside from being favorites. Finally, it’s been fun blogging my picks this NFL season considering I’ve never actually blogged before as we just implemented this thing like 5 weeks ago here at Chabdog Sports! Especially learning how to do things, like embedding tweets like you see above. Of course, it takes me like 40 times longer to write this thing out since there’s no real instruction manual on how to work this thing, but it’s been fun figuring it out, and glad that Chabdog Sports has this amazing website that does so many cool things that is similar to what I’ve seen my gawd brudder, “Frank The Tank”, do over at Barstool Sports. Can’t tell you how much I’ve seen this place grow since I’ve been here

Aaron won the week with 9 while ChabDog regressed to the mean, Well Read & Abe hit .500, and Dorothy had her worst week yet. Using “inductive” reasoning to predict Week 5 ChabDog will have 7, Well Read 9,  Abe 6, Dorothy 9, and Aaron 8.

We haven’t seen back-to-back World Series champions since the Yankees won three straight from 1998 to 2000, but I think we’ll see some history this year. The Astros will repeat as champs after having to battle just to qualify for the October tournament.

I guess we’ll never know 🤷‍♂️ pic.twitter.com/86jCyYO8d8

— Houston Astros (@astros) October 1, 2023

In a series of events that struck too close to home for a Mets fan like myself, the Astros stole the AL West title from the Rangers on the final day of the regular season. Texas choked big time by losing 1-0 to the recently eliminated Mariners when a win would send them through to the ALDS. Instead, it will be Houston bypassing the Wild Card round as the number two seed. That’s a pretty big difference between having to win two out of three games in Tampa Bay just to reach the Division Series.

Now that the Astros have the bye locked up, their top competition in the AL are the Orioles, who won 11 more games than Houston in the regular season. However, the young Baltimore team doesn’t have the proven pitching and big-game experience that the defending champs have. Does that mean that the Orioles can’t win the pennant and the World Series with a bunch of bright-eyed and bushy-tailed kids? No, we’ve seen teams like this win big before. I just trust Justin Verlander and Cristian Javier more in a big spot than Kyle Bradish and Grayson Rodriguez.

The National League will be Atlanta’s to lose. The Braves have one of the most fearsome lineups we’ve ever seen. The rotation is shaky, but so is that of the Dodgers, who figure to be the number one obstacle between Atlanta and the pennant. If Ronald Acuna Jr. and company can mash their way past the Phillies in a revenge spot from last year’s Postseason, I think they’ll win the pennant.

No matter who comes out of the NL, I still like Houston to win the World Series. No other team has the rotation experience of the Astros plus the deep lineup that is headlined by Yordan Alvarez and Kyle Tucker. Houston also has a solid bench and reliable bullpen that will come into play during tight games. Plus, Dusty Baker will make this team feel like it is playing with house money since they came from behind to clinch the division. After vindicating themselves as legitimate champions that don’t need a trash can scandal to win, the Astros are about to start a dynasty.

Sports Deflections of a mad Middle-aged man:
Disclaimer — I actually had a very productive and satsifying day, allthings be told–

Things were going pretty well after Thursday and 6 AM, and then the roofs fell in:

— Jax had the accelerator pressed down, if not to the max, and it didn’t need more, because the Falcons weren’t rid of Ridder.

— Dolphins turn into the dullphins as soon as I grant them my favors, probably because I called out their coach for being cocky and dorky.

— Bears turn out to a afraid of their own shadow, but held on like grim death when i thought you couldn’t beat the disabling spread.

— Then after our clip with Nicky shooting the horse in Kubrick’s “The Killing”, ChabDog was dead at 27:37

— ChabDog inappropriately tried to impose “Chabner’s Law” when vouching for the Steelers. Not much to say about the way Houston is playing its defense vs. the way Pittsburgh is conducting his offense.. Yes Aaron, you were a prophet.

— Those Bengals were titanic flops in TN. In the back of my mind, I knew the Titans could, and probably would, smash Cincy to smithereens. The Bengals just exist for me to misjudge, in seemingly every situation.

— Rams and the Colts…. god did this one hurt. Matthew Stafford dragged himself around like grim death, but when push came to shove he was able to get it done. I know their rooke QB did pretty well, but I was hoping to see Gardner MInchew, who seems to surpass excections more often than note.

— Speaking about hanging around like grim death, how about them Commies? Giving the Eagles a run for their money. and I get punished for weakly and meekly bowing to the weight of panel opinon.

–like the kid in Animal House when the majorette comes crashing through the bedroom window… “Thank you god!”.. the Vikings finally play up to their reasonable expectations and defang the stink Panthers.

— the Patriots vs. the Cowboys… thank you New England for using the relatively run-less slugfest against the Jets as a vehicle for sucking me to your delusions of competitiveness at AT&T. And if I ever pay home to a Bill Bellichick team, shoot me.

— My afneroon was somewhat saved, when the Chargers sort of backed in to yet another deflating experience for the Raydes. O’Connelll was better than expected, but Oakland was charitable as ever in terms of giving the game away.

— and then the crushing disappointment of what happened with Cards-Niners and Chiefs-Jets. First, the Cardinals pull within 12 late in the third, then I see it balloon like an overfed tic, only to see Arizona drive to the San Fan 11 with 40 seconds lift… then drive just runs out of gas. Then,, it’s beyond belief what chief Chief does to avoid scoring that simple TD and prevent the spread covering chippy field goal.

Are we sure that Zach Wilson didn’t bang Rodney Harrison’s mom? https://t.co/iQ381EMsmd

That fucker Mahomes slid before the touchdown # pic.twitter.com/q5eHgEXo7p

— The Informer (@therealinformer) October 2, 2023

We learned who the pretenders were in Week 4: the “nice try” Dolphins, the “bad news” Bears, and the “we suck again” Browns. Not to mention we in the LA market got stuck watching the Rams vs. Colts in the early game which sucked until the Rams choked in the 4th quarter and then sucked again when the Rams won in overtime

Aaron has 9 wins and a shot at 10 depending on tonight’s outcome. The rest of us? We didn’t win so much. Four times we were unanimous on a pick and three times it was the kiss of death for those teams: Bengals got screwed, blued, and tattooed by the Titans and the Cards were stopped from a back-door-cover by Zac Ertz dropping a certain score twice on the last 2 plays. Fuck me! But wait, it gets better: KC plays listless with the Jets and then Mahomes on the last drive decides to fall down outside the endzone like he’s playing freeze tag and blow the cover to smithereens. The whole nation saw the smirk on your face when you did that Mahomes. Not sure what you are trying to prove Pat but you’re not going to beat the Dolphins’ point differential by leaving points on the field poindexter.

Hello Chabdog Racing Fans! Once again we find ourselves at Talladega Superspeedway this season with the biggest difference being that we are in the playoffs!  Below you’ll find a track map to get a sense of how big this place is!  I mean this place is HUUUUUUUGE, it even has a tram to shuttle you around this place!

Qualifying is done for this race, and I’ve posted the Top 10 drivers below for today’s race below:

However, we’re not done yet folks as we’re also in NASCAR playoff season! Fortunately, those, “on the bubble” (9, 10, 11 & 12), still have a chance in this race and next week’s race in Charlotte to try to come out on top as the Round of 8 will commence in Las Vegas on October 15th. Currently, William Byron has clinched his spot in Las Vegas as he just won the previous race @ Texas Motor Speedway. So technically we are now fighting for 7 remaining spots among 11 drivers. So let’s see how we currently stand below:

Source: 2023 NASCAR Cup Series Playoffs | Official Site Of NASCAR

Every week the Chabdog Sports Team makes on-air picks on the show for the upcoming NASCAR race and earns points based on the following criteria:

: Anyone who picks the winning driver gets 3 points.

: Anyone who picks the 2nd place driver gets 2 points.

: Anyone who picks the 3rd place driver gets 1 point.

Lastly, if no one picks a 1st, 2nd, or 3rd place driver then 1 point is awarded to the picked driver that is closest to the podium. Therefore, in our fantasy game, someone from the team always walks away with a point.

This week’s “chalk pick” is Aric Almirola.

Last week’s race results:

My pick: Kyle Larson for the mere fact that he’s qualified 4th for today’s race and is also sitting in the 8th spot of the playoffs.  A win here would clinch a spot for him until the Round of 8 and he needs that since he could get bumped out of his spot based on his performance here and in Charlotte.

Lastly, sound off who you think our podium winner is for today’s race in the comments below!

With that, let’s get ready to NAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASCAR!

Hey everyone and welcome to another episode of me making shitty picks based on flawed science, numbies, and logic since my current record is:

Week 1: 6

Week 2: 8

Week 3: 6

Also, need to honorably mention that you’ll have a whopping 42.55% chance that you’ll make any money off my NFL picks so, “Yes, I’m truly the Oakland A’s of making NFL picks this season”!  But then again, you can fade me for a 57.45% chance of making money from my picks (not bad).  So let’s try this again with the goal of getting into the double digits with my Week 4 picks.

PACKERS +1.5*: “Love” how the Packers are going into this game at home as undergogs considering Aaron Jones might still come in and play as he’s listed as “questionable” right now. The battle of the 2-1 teams will make for a great competitive Thursday Night Football game with the Packers edging out the Lions at Lambeau Field.

JAGUARS -3*: Excited to see this game in Toy Story mode on Disney + as this game will be played at Wembley Stadium in London with no team actually being at “home”…and, with only diehard Flacons and Jags fans making up the minority of European NFL fans who may have no particular loyalty to either team but are there to drink, cause hell, and watch LIVE American “futbol”.  Both teams will be traveling far with jet lag sucking for both of them.  On paper, I think an argument can be made for either team since the Jags have better offensive yards than the Falcons, and the Falcons have given up less defensively than the Jags.  Ultimately, I think Trevor Lawrence is the better and more experienced QB who is hunting for a win after losing to the Texans as a 9.5-point favorite last week. Fortunately for us, the spread is only 3.

BILLS -2.5*: I know a lot of folks are leaning on the Dolphins to bulldoze every team in the NFL by 50 points, but I am going with the Bills at home even though the Dolphins are an offensive powerhouse.  However, let’s keep in mind that the Bills are also an offensive powerhouse, with a better defense than Miami. One thing to keep in mind is that Miami has a lot of inflated offensive numbies right now because the Broncos sucked super ass and got blown out of the water by 50 points.  I don’t expect a repeat here in Buffalo.

VIKINGS -3.5*: The battle of the 0-3 teams begins.  I can tell you that I’ve picked the Vikings and have lost my ass to them in the last 3 weeks, however, the Vikings come into this game as the clear winner of the offensive game with fantastic numbies coming from Kirk Cousins (QB) and Justin Jefferson (WR).  Yes, I’ve been talking like this about the Vikings since Week 1, but we’re also talking about the 0-3 Carolina Panthers.  Not going to lie, but if I come out a loser on this pick I’ll pretty much hate the Vikings for the rest of the season.

BRONCOS -3.5* “SHIT GAME OF THE WEEK”: Welcome Ladies & Gentleman to the “Shit Game of The Week”.  Two shitty teams battling it out in Chicago where the loser will be crowned a real, real shitty team.  Favoring the Broncos on their offensive advantage and Sean Payton needing to redeem himself after losing to the Dolphins by 50 points.

BROWNS -2.5*: Counting on Deshaun Watson (QB) and Kareem Hunt (RB) to play and provide the offense to beat the Ravens.  Also, we need to acknowledge that the Browns have great defensive numbies and I expect them to put the brakes on Lamar Jackson (QB).

STEELERS -3*: Yes, Houston has better offensive and defensive numbers right now, but they’ve also only won one fluke game against a Jaguars team that was a 9.5-point favorite.  Steelers on the other hand beat the Raiders in Vegas, and the Browns with a powerful defense.  This game might bring the Texans back to reality with a loss here at home.

RAMS +1*:  The Colts QB situation will be a real factor in this game.  If Anthony Richardson does come back to play against the Rams, then +1 will look like a steal since he hasn’t played in a few weeks.  Offensively and defensively the Rams hold the advantage.  Although they’ve lost the last two games, it’s also worth mentioning it was against the Bengals and 49rs.  Rams need to get back in the W column and I think they’ll resurrect their mojo from Game 1 to get it done here.

BUCS +3.5*: As of right now, Derek Carr (QB) is still questionable for this game, and I expect that without the Saint’s star QB, for the Saints to go into suck-ass mode.  Regardless, I can’t see D. Carr at 100%, even if he does play. My money is on the Bucs +3.5.

Eagles -8.5*: The 3-0 Eagles are hot with the Commanders proving that they can lose by 34 points.  I feel like 8.5 points is chump change for the Eagles with this team easily going 4-0 at home.

Bengals -2.5*: On paper, both teams look equal with 1 tight game Win a piece.  Ultimately, the Bengals are a slightly better team, and that is why they’re favored to win by a low margin.  Gotta pick a side, and am banking on the Bengals’ coming off a win to edge them out over the Titans by more than 2.5 points.   Ra

Chargers -5.5*:   Without Jimmy Garoppolo (QB), the Raiders are pretty much walking into an electrocution in LA.  If Garoppolo does play, then it may be possible to see the Raiders come within the point spread since they haven’t lost by more than 5 points if you omit their Buffalo Bills game

Cowboys -7*:  The Patriots and the Cowboys have both faced the Jets in the first few weeks of the season with the Cowboys going 30-10 and the Pats going 15-10.  On paper, both teams look equal, so no one here is the clear winner.  However, the Cowboys have proven to be strong offensively, and I expect them to play hard at home after losing to the Arizona Cardinals 28-16.

Cardinals +14*:  We all know the 3-0 49ers are good.  We also know that it’s very likely the 49ers will go 4-0 after playing the Cardinals at home. However, the same could be said about the Cowboys who also lost to the Cardinals as a heavy favorite meaning that the Cardinals could keep this game tighter than what the bookmakers in Vegas are calling for.  Another factor in this game is that Deebo Samuel (WR) is currently listed as questionable which favors the Cardinals tremendously if he does not play or is not running at 100%.

Chiefs -9.5*: The Chiefs are feeling good after beating the Bears by 31 points, while the Jets continue to struggle under Zach Wilson. Taylor Swift is expected to be at the game to motivate Travis Kelce to get TD after TD with the media going bananas every time Travis touches the ball while robbing Jackson and Brittany Mahomes from the spotlight (oh no..what shall we do?).

Seahawks +1.5*:  What a gift to have the Seahawks come into this game as 1.5-point underdogs.  Right off the bat, the Giants star RB Saquan Barkley is listed as questionable, and the Giants cannot afford to lose anybody right now.  I mean, this team is already bad with a full squad, so losing your RB or not being able to play him at 100% is just bad. Ultimately, this will be a great Monday Night Football game if you’re a Seahawks fan so go out and get yourself some beer, pizza, and chicken wings, and go watch the Giants lose in New Jersey.

Bidding a fond farewell to Brooks Robinson. He was a joy to watch, except if you were the other team. He had the best hot corner hands of all time… with all due respect to Schmidt, Brett and a rew others. And he was a money hitter, and dangerous tour de force to have to deal with. Won 2 World Championships, along with how many All-Stars and gold gloves. Topping that off was his work as a broadcaster for them O’s. He could say “Jim Palmer” better than anyone else.

And at some early age, I forgot he wore No. 5, my favorite number for no apparent reason.

NFL Week 3 results

Yeeeeeeeeehaw!  We find ourselves at the Texas Motor Speedway in Fort Worth, Texas this Sunday! Look at this place! It even has its own dedicated dirt track and “Lil’ Texas Motor Speedway” track, proving once again, that everything just goes BIG in Texas.

Sunday’s race will be a 267-lapper, 400-mile race, on a 1.5-mile oval speedway with the lineup already set in place with Bubba Wallace taking the poll position.  The top 10 drivers of the lineup are shown below who will battle it out starting at 12:30 p.m. (PT) / 3:30 p.m. (ET).

In addition to watching a great race, this is also a playoff race with 12 drivers competing to make the final 8 scheduled for October 15 at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway. The good news is that the 4 remaining drivers in the bubble have this race, Talladega (Oct 1), and Charlotte (Oct 9) to win a race (clinch a spot) or acquire enough points to make the final 8 spots. As such, we’ll have 12 drivers fighting it out (extra hard) in Texas to win the race.

Every week the Chabdog Sports Team makes on-air picks on the show for the upcoming NASCAR race and earns points based on the following criteria:

: Anyone who picks the winning driver gets 3 points.

: Anyone who picks the 2nd place driver gets 2 points.

: Anyone who picks the 3rd place driver gets 1 point.

Lastly, if no one picks a 1st, 2nd, or 3rd place driver then 1 point is awarded to the picked driver that is closest to the podium. Therefore, in our fantasy game, someone from the team always walks away with a point.

This week’s “chalk pick” is Bubba Wallace

ABE’s PICK: I’m picking Kyle Busch since he has won more and has been in the top five than any other active driver (4 wins & 14 top-fives) here @ Texas Motor Speedway.  He’s currently sitting in the 7th spot in the lineup and the 6th spot in the playoff standings.  Right now I need to get my pick in the top 3 so that I can gain some points and continue to secure the second spot in our exclusive Chabdog Pick’em Game!  So I’m putting all my cookies in with someone who has the most experience getting to the top 5 at this race course and is currently in the playoff hunt. However, let me hear in the comments who your podium winner is for this race. With that, LET’S GET READY TO NAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASCAR!

It is too little and way too late, but the Mets are finally beginning to play like a competent baseball team. That’s not an insignificant thing when you consider the downgrades that Stevie Cohen and Billy Eppler made to this New York roster before the trade deadline. The Mets are 6-4 in their last 10 and that is against three opponents in Arizona, Cincinnati, and Miami that are desperate for wins in the National League Wild Card race. Not only are we starting to see some promise from the Mets’ prospects like Ronny Mauricio and Mark Vientos, but the pitching rotation looks as strong as it has all season even though Max Scherzer and Justin Verlander have been replaced by Jose Butto and Joey “Meatball” Lucchesi. Mauricio is playing so well that Eppler looks like a complete fool for holding him back in the minor leagues for the first five months of the season, while Vientos showed off his power with a pair of home runs in a 8-3 win over the Marlins on Wednesday night. Plus, Butto and Lucchesi look like they can be assets in the middle of next year’s rotation.

Mark Vientos' 2nd homer of the night! pic.twitter.com/Ieu0qEEfd4

— SNY (@SNYtv) September 21, 2023

Even Brett Baty got in on the action with a home run, and I’ve already written him off as a complete bust. He has given the Mets almost nothing with his .212/.282/.323 hitting and inconsistent defense that ranges from brilliant to Daniel Murphy depending on the night. Now the Mets have 10 games left in the regular season with seven against the Phillies and three vs. the Marlins. It would be just splendid if the Mets could ruin both of their seasons to get us fans some vengeance for the disasters of 2007 and 2008. For the Marlins, that is very possible since they are on the outside of the Wild Card hunt looking in. For the Phillies, the Mets would probably have to win all seven games since Philadelphia has a four-game cushion. A man can dream, though, and I am more excited for this Mets vs. Phillies game tonight than I have been for a baseball game in a long time. I love beating Philly! It’s just a shame that they won’t have to see Kodai Senga since he pitched last night and should make his final start of the season on Wednesday against Miami.

That brings up an interesting question: Am I more excited for the Mets or New York Football Giants tonight? The Giants are 10-point underdogs in San Francisco for Thursday Night Football and they are missing two of their most impactful players on offense with RB Saquon Barkley and LT Andrew Thomas out due to injury. After all the good vibes that came from Sunday’s comeback win against Arizona, we could be headed back to another beatdown reminiscent of the 40-0 nightmare vs. Dallas in Week 1. How do the Giants at least give us a sign that the team has grown since then and is capable of competing against the top teams in the NFC? It starts with not having a field goal blocked and returned for a touchdown. In fact, cutting down on turnovers all together would at least force San Francisco to put some work in on offense to get ahead. The Cowboys did not have to do that 11 days ago.

Eliminating turnovers is easier said than done with Thomas out and Nick Bosa foaming at the mouth on the other side of the line of scrimmage. Jones is going to be under pressure, and the pressure will be worse when the Giants are facing second- and third-and long. The key will be completing short passes on first down. Barkley only managed 3.7 yards per carry against Arizona, so I very much doubt Matt Breida will make a dent in this San Francisco rush defense. The Giants ought to cut the run game out in the early going and put San Francisco on its heels. Get Darren Waller going and set up some longer throws to Jalin Hyatt, who was only targeted twice last Sunday, but he made those targets count with two catches for 89 yards.

On defense, the Giants need the fourth quarter rush defense from last Sunday to show up, and not the rush defense that let James Conner run over them for most of the game. If Christian McCaffrey gets going, it will set up everything the 49ers want to do, and the game will snowball from there. The Giants need to get to the point where Brock Purdy has to make a play, but even if they get there, the pass rush is so feeble that he will probably make those plays. I am counting on Wink Martindale dialing up some creative blitzes to get someone in the backfield. The four-man rush was almost useless against Arizona except for when Dexter Lawrence was bullying interior linemen. The “star” pass rusher Kayvon Thibodeaux has been the Giants’ version of Baty: highly touted, but not effective at all so far.

The Giants need way too much to go right for them to have success in San Francisco tonight. I will settle for them not getting completely humiliated and hopefully covering the spread.

Another week More shitty picks! Welcome to another episode of watching me barely make .500 on my weekly NFL picks, “Against the Spread (ATS)”.  As you can see below, I’m in last place, but also in last place with the CEO of Chabdog Sports. So if I make more shitty picks, the CEO will probably love me more because at least he won’t be in last place. Also, is that a dildo on the field in the picture below???  Ahhh, only at independently owned Chabdog Sports can we somehow and magically pull off these shenanigans on the West Coast of America. Is it because we work with “Frank The Tank” from Barstool Sports and they love him so much no one wants to mess with our little mom-and-pop show here in Cali? Is it because we are owned by a law firm? I don’t know, so here you have it, more shitty picks…and a dildo from a Californian trying to make a brand for himself. So without further delay….my shitty NFL picks.

(Week 2 Results – Eric Sauve)

GIANTS +10*: The 49rs are not the Cardinals, but I also can’t see them getting plowed like Week 1 against the Cowboys.  On paper, the 49rs are favored offensively, however, they are showing a slightly weaker defense  (although some of that can be attributed to the yards they gave up to the Rams). I like to think that the Giants have more life than to be beaten by 10 points…also hope they kick it when they’re down by 12 points.

(per ESPN)

RAVENS -8*: The Ravens are offensively and defensively better than the Colts.  Additionally, Colts QB Anthony Richardson is listed as questionable with Gardner Minshew getting all the practice this week.  This could get really ugly for the Colts making an 8-point spread look like chump change.

(per ESPN)

TITANS -3*:  Had the Browns had Nick Chubb (RB) coming into this game, I may have picked the Browns -3.  However, that is not the case, and will lean on the Titans to keep this game close or take home the W.

(per ESPN)

LIONS -3*:  Jared Goff has racked up some great offensive numbies & beating out the KC Chiefs in Week 1.  The Falcons are undefeated and show great defense.  This game may be close with the edge going to interceptions or mistakes.  This is a home game for the Lions and I lean on them putting on a good show for their fanbase.

(per ESPN)

SAINTS +2*:  Everyone who knows me knows I’m a Packers fan, but I try to make picks based on a feeble attempt to win money. Saints are undefeated and have great offensive and defensive numbers going into this game. Additionally, Aaron Jones is questionable for this game compacted with my low confidence that he’ll play a full game against the Saints (if he plays).  +2 is looking like a gift to me.

(per ESPN)

TEXANS +9.5*: On paper, the Texans actually have better offensive and defensive numbers with C.J. Stroud (QB) going for more yards and completions than Trevor Lawerance (QB).  I can sit here and deny the math and say the Jags are going to run over the Texans by more than two touchdowns, but I’m simply going to go with the science here against a 9.5-point spread.

(per ESPN)

BRONCOS +6.5*: I love watching Russell Wilson (QB) lose, and the 0-2 Broncos have done a great job of keeping the streak going.  The Dolphins on the other hand are undefeated with great offensive numbies coming into this game.  However, the Broncos have lost by less than 6.5 points in the last two games and have only beaten the Patriots by more than that.  This could turn out to be a close game considering the Dolphins QB has already thrown two interceptions. In the end, the Dolphins have the offense to go 3-0.

(per ESPN)

VIKINGS +1*:  The battle of the 0-2 Chargers and the 0-2 Vikings with a 1-point spread makes this game, “the shit game of the week”. The Chargers are coming into this game defensively weak and in Minnesota.  Everything is screaming for the Vikings to break their losing streak.

(per ESPN)

PATRIOTS -3*: The Patriots come into this game offensively and defensively favored against a 4-interception Zach Wilson New York Jets team.  Had it been Aaron Rodgers, this game may have leaned the other way. I see the Patriots getting a confidence boost here when they beat the Jets by more than 3 points.

(per ESPN)

COMMANDERS +6.5*: I know many are leaning on the Bills, but we’re not talking about the Bills beating the undefeated Commanders at home…we’re talking about the Bills beating them by more than a touchdown.  The numbies show that the Bills are not going to destroy the Commanders the same way they destroyed the Raiders. Now if they do destroy the Commanders, I do have Josh Allen on my fantasy team so I hope it’s by a million gazillion points.

(per ESPN)

Seahawks -6*:  The Seahawks have been hit or miss the last two games with numbies demonstrating a weaker defense.  Wouldn’t take much to keep this game close considering the Panthers lost to the Saints by only 3 points.  However, with the Panthers star QB and RB listed as questionable with zero to nada practice this week, it could spell a huge disaster in Seattle for them (especially if they don’t play).

(per ESPN)

CARDINALS +12.5*: The Cowboys have been absolutely fantastic coming out of the gate and easily expect them to be the 3-0 Cowboys.  However, the numbies show the Cards to be a little more competitive.  Additionally, the Cards have not lost to any team by more than 4 points.  Cowboy fans, regardless, should be happy with the actual outcome of this game.

(per ESPN)

BEARS +12.5*: The Chiefs have not beaten any team so far this season by more than 8 points and currently have Isiah Pacheco (RB) listed as questionable. The Bears are not a good team but hope that they’ll put in enough of a fight to keep it closer than 12.5 points. Regardless, Chief fans should come away happy with this game.

(per ESPN)

RAIDERS -2.5*: I am not a big fan of this game since both teams are hit-and-miss right now.  The question is who’s going to hit and who’s going to miss.  I am currently in a suicide pool and am not making this game my pick of the week since it could swing either way.  This is a home game for the Raiders (home opener) and they’ve won two of their three last at Allegiant.

(per ESPN)

BUCS 5.5+*:  Two undefeated teams that will be battling it out in Tampa.  There is no math that says one team is going to blow the other out of the water here.  I expect a tight game and the Bucs to cover the spread on their home turf.

(per ESPN)

RAMS +2*:  This is a gift pick considering Joe Burrow is questionable and may not even play on MNF.  Offensively and defensively the RAMS look better on paper with a healthier squad. The Bengals have yet to win a game this season and are likely to continue that streak on Monday. My money is on the RAMS.

Watt and Highsmith take matters into their own hands, leading
the Steelers to what may be a season-saving home win over their bitter rivals on MNF.
The pass rush was mostly relentless, and that combined with the heavy hits exacted a mental and physical toll
on the opposition that seemed to explain Cleveland’s inability to execute at game end.
Yes, we won, but how many victories like this can you manufacture, in the absence of
a viable offense? There were a few bright spots, but the bottom line is the running game is
mostly stuck in the mud, and the pass scheme is in a word, stodgy.
As for the Browns, this game is yet another reminder that whatever they they thought they
were getting with Watson, an elite, or even above-average, QB he is not.

Prior to Chabdog Sports going full blog mode (literally a couple of weeks ago), and the show being trimmed down to an hour, I used to discuss on the show our previous NASCAR race, or upcoming NASCAR race, and our own Fantasy NASCAR Pick’em game that I came up with to make the segment fun and competitive (just as we do with our NFL picks every week). With that, let me break down our exclusive Chabdog Sports NASCAR fantasy game.

Every week the Chabdog Sports Team makes on-air picks on the show for the upcoming NASCAR race and earns points based on the following criteria:

: Anyone who picks the winning driver gets 3 points.

: Anyone who picks the 2nd place driver gets 2 points.

: Anyone who picks the 3rd place driver gets 1 point.

Lastly, if no one picks a 1st, 2nd, or 3rd place driver then 1 point is awarded to the picked driver that is closest to the podium. Therefore, in our fantasy game, someone from the team always walks away with a point.

Sometimes our co-hosts are not available to make a pick, so we default our “chalk” pick to the pole position driver using the official line-up from NASCAR prior to the start of the race.

One last thing, when we finally get down to the Final Four Championship Race we end up making two picks for that race.  The first pick is, “Who will win the Final Four and be our Champion?”, which is a do-or-die pick that is worth 4 points.  The second pick is, “Who will actually win the race?”, which is scored exactly like any other race. So we can potentially win up to 7 points in the last race of the season.  Some Co-hosts pick two different drivers here, and others go all in with one Final Four driver (win the season & the race).

To date, our co-host Dorothy is leading our group with 30 points and is the heavy favorite to ultimately win our fantasy game this year. If you look at today’s Bristol race (September 16, 2023) you’ll notice that everyone has Christopher Bell because it’s a Saturday race, our show is on Sunday, and I gave everyone (including myself) the “chalk” based on pole position (Christopher Bell).  Fortunately for us, he came in 3rd place so everyone gets a point.  However, had we all picked Ryan Newman who came in 36th place, we’d all still get a point since no one else had a 1st, 2nd, or 3rd place pick, and Ryan Newman is the closest driver to the podium amongst the Chabdog Sports Team, even though he’s in last place.

Below is our current NASCAR Matrix that I maintain for the show. Here you can see how we’ve scored in each race, and the drivers each of us picked.  Aaron didn’t join our team until July so he had to start with a slight disadvantage. In the future, we will award any new member of the team with all the “chalk” points rather than starting at zero.  However, Aaron has done a commendable job catching up to the rest of us in the short time he has been with us (except for Dorothy who has lapped us all).

Final Thoughts

My NASCAR game is really cool and fun.  Yes, there’s a lot of bias here because I came up with it, however, my co-hosts really have fun playing this little NASCAR game so if you have a group of friends who love NASCAR and want to make it competitive and fun, maybe this game will work for you like it did for us. Try it out and comment below if you find this game fun and cool, or have any questions.

cuz after all the world is topsy turvy non-conventional…. particularly when the Raydes look like a strong dog in the Buffalo slog and the Jets are causing some turbulence over thte roof of AT&T…it’s the first day of the Jewish New Year, and pay heed to the September arrivals of some pretty impactful guys, like Marino, Jimbo, and ?

Well-read rides the tide of yet another, naughtily good back door cover, ChabDog insists he’s still here, Dorothy continues to think of St. George-Brown all about town, and Abe is chained to a pole in the cellar eating baloney and mayo sandiwiches, … but could a change be blowing in the wind. And our best for Aaron, who is off today like Koufax in the World Series (65?)

Another week, another blog about my shitty NFL picks.  Especially since I went 6 & 16, but come on, the Chiefs taking an L, the Bills taking an L against the Zach Wilson Jets, and the Chargers taking an L to a hurt Dolphins team at home is nothing I could predict in my shitty crystal ball. I know that doesn’t sound like my Week 2 picks will be amazing, but at least I now have some perspective of the teams in their regular season form (less shitty crystal ball).  So let’s try this again.

NFL WEEK 1 RESULTS

OFFICIAL CHABDOG SPORTS NFL WEEK 2 SPREAD

VIKINGS: The Vikings may lose this game but not by 7 points.  Show some damn heart Vikings, especially since Kirk Cousins, a Justin Jefferson had better Week 1 numbies than their counterparts.PACKERS: I got this pick right last week, and are favored to win against the Falcons. Packers either lose this gamer or beat the Falcons by more than 2 points.  My money is on beating the Falcons. Hold up boys and let Jordan Love cook (my proven Packers motto).

RAIDERS: The Bills are pissed, but the Raiders are not the New York Jets.  That means that the Bills are not going to slaughter the Raiders, especially after last week’s performance against Zach Wilson.  I expect the game to run a little tighter than 9 1/2 points.

BENGALS: The Ravens played Houston (an easy team) and the Bengals played a much tougher opponent.  So looking at Week 1’s number the Ravens look better on paper.  But again we find ourselves with Lamar Jackson playing QB/RB with the Bengals having Joe Mixon (RB) and Ja’marr Chase (WR) to mix it up at home.  Also, let’s add that Joe Burrow is pissed off from losing against the Browns and needs to come out strong here in front of the homestand.

LIONS: The Seahawks played like shit last week and are coming up against the Lions who have the offensive numbies to beat the Seahawks.  Additionally, the Seahawks are also defensively bad which could mean the Lions destroy the Hawks at home.  If you’re a Seahawks fan, I suggest you start looking forward to the Seattle Kraken season, because that will be far less disappointing than what is to come.  Although you may get Shohei Ohtani in Mariners uni…may.

JAGUARS:  I don’t know what is going on with the Chiefs but most people I know are picking them simply because it’s the Chiefs, they’re pissed for taking an L, and they’re the former Superbowl Champs.  But the Jags put up some really good numbies last week (way better than the Chiefs) and have a chance of actually beating them if they repeat the performance. the math says that the Jags are not bad team, and should be able to keep pace with the Chiefs…if so, all I can say is that it’s a great time to be a Jags fan.

BUCS:  The Bears lost

to the Jordan Love Packers at home.  Hard to see the Bears beating the Bucs, especially in the Bucs pirate ship (and at their home port).

CHARGERS: The Chargers losing to a hurt Dolphins team is just sad.  The Titans not being able to produce against the Saints is also bad.  Tannehill having a few interceptions in his last game is also bad. I feel like these two teams can make enough mistakes for either team to ultimately win in this game, but the maths says that the Titans will make more.

CARDINALS:  The Giants are an absolute disaster.  Considering the Giants haven’t actually scored a touchdown or field goal this season, it is hard for me to say that they’ll beat the Cardinals (or anybody) by 5 1/2 points.

RAMS:  The Rams are back and the 49rs are good.  I expect the Rams to keep it closer than 8 points here. If this was a moneyline pick I would place that bet on the 49rs.

COWBOYS: The heavily favored Cowboys are favored because they slaughtered the Giants 40 to 0.  I am going to say that the Zach Wilson Jets are better than the Giants, but are probably going to get plowed by the Cowboys (but not as bad as the Giants).

COMMANDERS:  The Broncos have proven that they can be beaten at home. Both of these teams look pretty even on paper and is a game that could have multiple lead changes. Ultimately it will come down to Russel Wilson playing like shit (hopefully) and the Commanders beating them out slightly to cover the spread.

DOLPHINS: If a hurt Dolphins team can beat the Chargers, a less hurt Dolphins team can beat the Patriots.

SAINTS: I like the Derek Carr Saints.  I also like that he’s a slightly better QB than Bryce Young. The “numbies” show that the Saints are slightly better than the Panthers, and my internal pendulum is swinging for the Saints to beat the Panthers by 3 points.

BROWNS: I was the only one who picked the Browns last week, and I was the only one who won that pick. The Browns have a lot of offensive “numbies” and the Steelers have really bad defensive “numbies”.  The Browns have all the better stats and a great running back.  Everything is SCREAMING Browns for Monday night.

THE SHIT GAME OF THE WEEK

COLTS: How nice we get to see two shitty teams play each other with a one-point spread. I am picking the Colts simply because they actually did something offensively (even though they lost) than the Texans. If you’re a fan of either team, sorry

John Riggins, The Diesel, #44

All alone on an island, friendless and left for dead after A-rodg is carted off, the JETS and ChabDog fight back on MNF, hang on like grim death and will themselves to an unlikely victory.

Counterfeit Bills wilt when Josh Allen throws caution and good sense to the Metlife winds, while the Jets forget to feel sorry for themselves, … and just get even.
What a defense on display for Gang Green, and one helluva study in determination and fortitude by a squad that had been written off for dead after the Aaron exited.
And as ChabDognosticated, there’s just something wrong with Buffalo. Their star QB walking the sidelines alone, muttering to himself with a vacant, lost look, which you could also see on the face of Diggs after the game. Allen needs to rededicate himself to his craft, and spend more time studying game film, defensive tendencies and schemes, and less time doing DirecTV spots. The Bills defense also has plenty of holes, and overall, these guys and their wrestling coach are not Super Bowl contenders.

… there’s not much difference between NYC and Big D.

— Match made in heaven … or in hell given he’s with the silver and black … but no doubt about it, the uniform fits, and rumor has it Jimmy GQ’s been found from time to time on an impromptu after-hours search of The Strip.

— They call him… Dr. Love… and maybe he does have the cure the Packers are thinking of….

–The Boyz weren’t the ones wearing the junior jock straps in tonight’s prime time fiasco.
Little Blue lays a big egg, and the only reason the Giants aren’t limping home with their tails between
their legs is that they were already home.

–Wee-hawks shrink from the moment, getting torched by studly Stafford and his two new “go to’s” Puka and Tutu.
Say what?

–Chargers continue to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory, despite moving the ball very efficiently through Herbie’s arm and Austin’s churning legs.  Trouble was Tyreek, who was open so much today, it felt like all week.

–Ravens pick apart the Texans with a strong 2nd half, but the kicker in the teeth is that J.K. is not ok.

–Eagles recover from their Superbowl hangover, and survive a very passive aggressive finish at Gillette.
But there are signs that hope should spring eternal this year for the Patriots.

–Commanders finally take command, just in the nick of tune, and
given their history of blowing sure things at home, without rhyme or reason.

–Steelers start, once again, completely behind the eight ball, as in the Niners taking the wrecking ball to them
in all aspects in what can only be categorized as a nightmare of a home opener.

–Barroom brawl in The Big Easy goes to the black ‘n tan; but give the Ti-tans their props
for making the homies sweat and get pretty queasy… but not much has changed from last year, these two are
decidedly lacking in firepower.

–Baker remembers how to be a touchdown maker, and the Vikings return to their soft roots … last seen in last year’s playoff exit. Soft.

–Jags hit a few snags, but still showed the physcial prowess to shut down the Colts when it mattered.
The era of A. Richardson begins with a muted ovation and tempered elation.

Oh my goodness Aaron, what a horrible way to open your season at home! And you were so excited to start a-fresh after the disappointing Mets season – dang it!

Other lessons learned from Week 2 of NCAA —
— Alabama has a running back (or something resembling one) playing QB and that’s a problem
— Miami is suddenly money, and maybe that’s due to the deep pockets of their boosters
— San Diego St. look great, but played like overheated dog meat, in their spooky black unis
— Maybe Wisconsin and Washington State should exchange conference memberships
— App. St. got paid to play in North Carolina, and it almost became pretty darn expensive for the Tar Heels

National Cupcake Day isn’t December 15th this year,… no it was today, and here’s a ChabDogian recap of some of the tastiest ones in Week 2 of College Football —
— A pack of Trojans were seen continuously relieving themselves in public against some unprotected and helpless trees from Norcal
— Ball St. gets castrated right in front of a totally disinterest Uga
— The boys from Youngstown State should have stayed in Boys Town
— Not even Joe Flacco from 2013 could’ve saved the Blue Hens from the predators from Penn St.
— K-St. destroyed Troy at Bill Snyder Family Football Stadium, and a woman wasn’t even involved
— The “Big Red” nebbishes from Nebraska were humiliated by Colorado and a guy named “She”…. that’s all you need to know about how far they’ve fallen
— After leaving Duke covered in puke, Clemson’s crew was only too happy to indulge in the Charleston chew
— No surprise that even though they were Wolverines without a Harbaugh, Michigan pretty much squashed the UNLV basketball team in the Big House
— It took way too long for UT to sit on Austin Peay
— Since when are the football Blue Devils not considered a cupcake. Since they played Lafayette, that when.
— No. 19 Oregon St. showed off at home against UC Davis, but it still isn’t apparently getting them the inside track to an escape route from Pac-12, 6 or 4 land

We’ve got everything you don’t need to know, and more, in our Week 1 “KC’s floundering, so who’ll grab the low hanging fruit” CDST Show …”

Who in their right mind really thought the mighty Chiefs would turn tail at home against the mighty Motown Lions?  Hell, they’re so desperate for a possession receiver they would be claiming Flounder from Animal House off of waiver … if he were still alive and snatching.

ChabDog and friends, countrymen and co-hosts guide you through the mine field that is betting on the spread, along with clips and quips, though Freudian slips will be kept to a minimum how that Well-read has us on a very rigorous 1-hr clock.

Wouldn’t want to miss any of the 1 pm eastern/10 am pst action, including the Steelers shocking the world by making the Niners look not too purdy.  And later in the day, one of us guaran-freaking-tees a JETS victory, cuz Josh Allen still has a bad case of the yips.

And we’ll also cram in a college football update (rest assured GA found a cupcake to castrate in Ball St.), as well as revealing Novak’s early acceptance letter to Med-ved school in tomorrow’s US Open final.

Notre Dame at NC State  (something tells me the Wuffpack may have a chance)

Red sun go down way over dirty town
Starlings are sweeping around crazy shoals
A girl is there high heeling across the square
Wind blows around in her hair and the flaqs upon the poles
Waiting in the crowd to cross at the light
She looks around to find a face she can like
Church bell clinging on trying to get a crowd for Evensong
Nobody cares to depend to depend upon the chime it plays
They’re all in the station praying for trains
Congregation late again
It’s getting darker all the time these flagpole days
Drunk old soldier he gives her a fright
He’s crazy lion howling for a fight
Strap hanging gunshot sound
Doors slamming on the overground
Starlings are tough but the lions are made of stone
Her evening paper is horror torn
But there’s hope later for Capricorns
Her lucky stars give her just enough to get her home
Then she’s reading about a swing to the right
But she’s thinking about a stranger in the night

I‘m thinking about the lions tonight
What happened to the lions
I’ll tell you what happened, bro
Dogged Dan had his blue and silver ready to a man,
when the 3rd quarter began
Yeah, those men were made of stone,
and in Q4 they carried the rock to the end zone
And no ring tone for Toney, who dropped the chance,
to be delivered by a horrified Mahomes
Andy panicked with three TOs
and the champs fell on their face in their own place
TALKIN BOUT THE LIONS…

Whassup Andy?  Your guys clearly thought all you had to do to win was show up.  And that was a fatal miscalculation.

KC’s receivers were in a word gar-bage, the pass defense was its usual handsy, sketchy self, and eventually the run defense was porous and unreliable.  It was only some ill-timed fumbles and questionable play calling by the Lions’ OC (hello… you need to just run it with those backs on 3rd and 2) that kept the Chiefs sitting pretty, until the 4th quarter’s moment of truth, when the roof at Arrowhead caved in.

Will this thing turn around on a dime when talkative Travis returns, along with all-powerful Chris Jones?  Probably not, given the weak crew of speed guys that the Big Red Tomato has at his disposal.  And with that defense on the field, I guess Andy will keep going for it on 4th and 25 deep in his own end, with three timeouts.  That mindless gamble was the final nail in the coffin, and is completely indefensible.

The next winner of the NFC Norris?  TALKIN BOUT THE LIONS, BABY!

It’s that special time of year again when Chabdog Sports goes all in on football and every person on our team must once again prove that they can go over .500 or lose their job here like Squid Games.  Of course, we don’t actually do that because we’re pretty chill SoCal people, but it would make for some good content…just saying. Anyways, every week our fabulous producer Well Read hands us the sheet below and we go up against the football gods, the oddsmakers, and our co-hosts to be crowned the 23-24 NFL season champion.  Pretty straightforward, pick the most winning teams ATS.  Since we can’t officially gamble on sports here in California, I still go into this as if I were in Vegas. Interestingly enough, I happen to be in Vegas this weekend so don’t be surprised if you find me at the sportsbook with an AMF in my hand.  Again, I look at every matchup and imagine myself placing 20 bucks on each line here, so LFG.

CHIEFS – I know our spread here says 6.5 but that has actually gone down closer to 5.  Either way, it’s difficult for me to see the Superbowl Champ Chiefs getting their asses handed to them by the Lions. If they do, it’s going to be a pretty big upset with a lot of memes showing up on the TL from now until Sunday.

FALCONS – I like this home-field advantage for the Falcons with a 3-point spread.  I also don’t like how many questionable players the Panthers have or their super poopie pre-season.

RAVENS –  LOL Texans

BROWNS – Although most people I know are leaning on the Bengals here, we also need to understand that Joe Burrow is coming off an injury and was carted off the field a little over a month ago. Because of this, I’m putting my 20 bucks on the Browns since my confidence that he’ll be A++ is low right now.  Also helps that this is a home game for the Browns.

JAGUARS – This team had a great run this year (9-8), and might once again be king of the AFC South.  So asking for 3.5 points doesn’t seem impossible to me against the Colts.

VIKINGS –  Up until yesterday, I saw that Mike Evans was questionable for a groin issue.  Glad he’ll get to play, and hope it’s not an issue since he’s off the list. However, we also have to accept that Justin Jefferson is elite and was the number-one pick in my fantasy league for a reason, and why I was able to get Josh Allen as my QB (I went second in the draft). Also, this is a home opener for them so I expect them to shine in front of their home crowd.

SAINTS – The Titans have the worst passing defense and Derek Carr has something to prove in New Orleans at his regular season debut. Saints to cover 3.5 points against the Titans.

STEELERS –   Chabdog is a huge Steelers fan so I know he’ll be pleased with this pick.  Aside from them having a nice pre-season, this is also going to be a home game for them. Purdy will be at the helm for the 49ers but they only have a 2.5 advantage. This tells me that a lot of football is expected to go the Steeler’s way, and being a new season, hopefully, this will energize them to capitalize on any mistake the 49ers make in this game.

COMMANDERS – Cardinals are a joke, and I expect the Commanders to win by at least 6 points at home.   Also, according to Ceasars Sportsbook, the Commander’s Super Bowl odds are +8000 vs. +70000 for the Cardinals.

PACKERS – Jordan Love has something to prove, and is only a 2.5-point underdog (not bad).  Also helps that they’re playing their rival Bears and Jordan would be considered a hero amongst Cheeseheads if he beats them at their own stadium on Sunday. Hold up, let’s see what an Aaron-less Packers team can cook.

BRONCOS – It’s always the mile-high advantage when you’re favored by 3.5 points at home.  Excited to see what Sean Payton has cooking over there in Denver, but really want to see if he’s put a binkie in Russell Wilson’s mouth so he can start acting like a formidable QB.

CHARGERS –  Dolphins are simply way more hurt than the Chargers who only need to cover a 2.5-point spread at home for the cash out in Vegas.

Week 1 Injury Report | Chargers vs. Dolphins

EAGLES – Last year the Eagles started extremely strong, and would be surprised if they didn’t come out of the gate with the same passion as last year in their home opener.  Only need to beat the Pats by 4 points at home to cash this ticket out, and if they repeat what they did last year….it’s like taking an iPad from a baby.

SEAHAWKS – The Rams are just an ugly mess.  Very poopie pre-season and no Cooper Kupp (WR).  Seahawks to beat the Rams at home by more than 5.5 points.

GIANTS – It’s safe to assume that most people are probably picking the Cowboys considering their past stats with the Giants being in their favor.  However, this Giants team is a little refreshed and has a few new players since they last faced each other such as Darren Waller (TE), Bobby Okereke (LB), Parris Campbell, and Jalin Hyatt (WR), John Michael Schmitz (C), and Deonte Banks and Tre Hawkins III (CB).  Also, the Giants know that the Cowboys have a better record against them so coming out of the gate strong in front of their fans at home would be a great way for them to start their season and tip the scale. Considering this is just a 3-point spread, it’s safe to assume that the odd makers also consider the Giants a little more formidable against a team that has proven to have a better record against them.

BILLS – This MNF definitely goes in the LFG column!  Aaron Rodgers debuting for the Jets against the Bills!  A 1.5 point spread! A possible upset with the Jets beating the Bills and New Yorkers going hysterical!  Here’s the thing, I don’t know if I would bet on this game because no one knows if Aaron is going to be a star or bust for the NY Jets.  Since I have to pick a side here, I’m simply considering that the Bills are a great team that’s a little more familiar with each other to pull the advantage. Additionally, I’m also counting on that Aaron Rodgers isn’t Tom Brady who’s going to lead the Jets to a Superbowl victory in his first season with them and maybe show a few kinks in his armor in this game to tip 1.5 points.  Again, I need to see him play a few games before I put money down on the Jets.  But if we need to drop a coin…Bills.

Watch ChabDog leap frog the competition in this year’s NFL pick’em action against the dreaded spread,

each week on ChabDog Sports Talk.   After all, there has to be a sunset on the hegemony of Dorothy Dawn,

Blixx may be a no-show(?), Abe has been spending too much time at the track, Well-read’s already well-psyched out…

and AP Yorke is nobody’s Barstool fool, but may have lost his mojo with the melt down of the Oven Mets.

NFL Week 1 is here so LFG! Currently have these picks up in our Chabdog Sports Pick’em Challenge and the great news is that you can join this free league too if you think my standard picks suck. So stop talking and start playing!

Whassup Walk This Way Kermit?  Can you still walk that walk with no Kelce as your security blanket?

Here’s one dedicated detractor who hopes the Lions can stuff that inflated spread in the trash compactor.

Talking bout the Lions on Thursday night, and Chiefs who find themselves … in possible dire straits?

Talkin bout the the Lions.

Coco was all go go go, in making jittery Jelana total road kill in a 6-2, 6-0 wipe out.

Given the relative ease with which the American teen dispatched conqueror of the Polish potentate Swiatek in the previous round, the young American must be viewed as the odds on favorite to take the women’s title in Flushing.

Wow, I cannot believe that I’m actually blogging on chabdog.com about NASCAR, but even more amazing…I’m actually here freaking blogging for Chabdog Sports!  When I first started at Chabdog Sports back in February of 2021, we were strictly an audio-only podcast.  Oh how far we’ve come in just a few years that I’ve been on the show considering we’re now on YouTube, we’ve got an ETSY store, and now here blogging like my good friends over at Barstool Sports. Although I’ve been on the show for a few years, I don’t think that many people actually know how I got here, why I’m hosting a racing segment or my role behind the scenes.  I think it’s fair to assume that most people think I’m only here because my Gawdbrudder (coined by my Gawdfather Gary) is Frank Fleming, who was actually part of Chabdog Sports prior to joining Barstool Sports.  I can say this, yes, my Gawdbrudder is Frank, but I also didn’t get a call to make a guest appearance here until 2021, and only because Chabdog Sports had been following me for a few years and had been super strong supporters of my X (Twitter) content (which I appreciated mucho considering I had a very tiny following back then).  Even then, what was supposed to be a “guest spot” talking about my adventures with my Gawdbrudder quickly turned to talking about my favorite sports teams, and diving into various political issues. Interestingly enough, I was only slated for the first hour of the show and was asked to stay on for the second hour right before we cut to the break (who knows if I’d even be here right now if they had decided to send me on my way after the first hour).  Considering this was the first time I was ever on air, I’m glad I was able to hang with the boys long enough for an encore, but you be the judge and have provided the link to my very first show here:

▶ The “Better Get Smart” Show (spreaker.com)  

I can honestly say that I never really thought that coming on the show as a guest would lead me to host a racing segment or talk about NASCAR, but it turned out that Chabdog really liked NASCAR and was enthused to incorporate a racing segment into his show after talking to me.  So on April 11, 2021, the Chabdog Racing Segment was born shortly after being on the show for a little over a month (with our signature intro song that we still roll with today).  I’ve included a small clip of the very first time we rolled out the Chabdog Racing Segment:

Again, still funny that I landed a racing segment, considering most of my earliest shows were mainly discussing current political issues, my Mets fandom, how I became a cheesehead, Frank the Tank, and March Madness that was going on at the time. But at some point, in the first few shows I was on, my past about growing up with my step dad who was a professional go-kart racer (who watched a lot of NASCAR, Modified, Sprint, and Midget car racing on TV or at the track) came to light. And because of my stepdad, not only did I watch a lot of NASCAR myself, I also got to go with him and watch a lot of awesome short-track dirt races (some might argue that’s where real racecar racing is done)! Growing up in the NASCAR 90s, I always rooted for Jeff Gordon in his signature brightly-colored DuPont car (epic car).  Not going to lie here, but Jeff Gordon was also a good driver to root for during this time since he was the Winston Cup Champion in 1995, 1997 & 1998.  Still gets me, or maybe I can say, “I feel my age”, that I remember a time when Winston Cigarettes was a sponsor of something. Yet, what I still find hard to believe is that NASCAR, of ALL the things we talked about in my early days here at Chabdog Sports, is what really got Chabdog’s attention, but more importantly…excited to consider incorporating NASCAR into the show. So yeah, from never being on a radio talk show to hosting a racing segment in about a month’s time might actually rank up there as one of my greatest unexpected accomplishments in life, but also one that turned out to be really cool and fun. So thank you Chabdog for asking me to come onto the show, for asking me to stay on for the second hour, inviting me to the following week’s show…and the next…and the next. So I thought to myself that my first published blog here at Chabdog Sports be dedicated to my beginnings but also pay tribute to our racing segment that really sent me over the moon in making me a permanent fixture around here. So let’s end by saying that I’ve had a lot of firsts here at Chabdog Sports, from being invited to my first on-air show…to hosting a racing segment…to being on YouTube weekly…to now writing my first blog…so with that, let’s get ready to NASCAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR!

We made it! We survived another off-season. Football is back and so with it comes many rituals like the “pre-game” show. ChabDog is launching the best freaking pre-game show you’ve ever seen. The network shows all SUCK. I’m not telling you something you don’t already know. Getting good intel on winning bets doesn’t suck. Tune in every Sunday at 9:00 AM Pacific – Noon Eastern. We see things others don’t. Let us tell you about it.
