ChabDog's Super-appreciation and Super-ass awards for Week 11 (or this week's results, from bottom to top) : 1) Super-appreciation -- McConkey (for his megatron catch) and Dobbins (for his jumping jack vault into the end zone} to cinch the Chargers' winning drive),...

Tired of getting hosed by the spread….ChabDog focuses his Ace Rothstein bi-focals on the Sports Rock Pick’m pool:
Big No. 2 ChabDog picks himself up from the dead, after enduring another utterly pointless beating from the Week 10 spread, and comes through with his totally random picks for the more rational Sports Rock pick 'em pool for Week 11. Just hope I don't step in No. 2 in...
ChabDog’s Tenuous Attempt To Tackle the Week 10 Spreads:
Hold onto to that rope, or let go if you want, .... maybe the freedom from the shackles of common sense will set you free... After Baltimore's Thursday night betrayal I really don't know what to think, other than sometimes my instincts on the marginal advantage...
Thursday Night Featuring the Bangles Rears Its Frightful Head… just to spite me
3 yards too far for Ja'Marr, Joe and the snake-bitten Bangles.... who were angling for a huge upset victory in Ballmer but end up just another team that stepped in No. 2 when it took the greedy option and went for 2. Give the Ravens credit for coming out of that...
Turbulent times require desperate measures, so better pull out all the stops en route to CDST’s “Garbage out, garbage back in” Weak 9 NFL Prediction Show.
We're throwing everything we got up on the walls of our Hermosa Beach studio, just to see what'll stick. But unlike for your friendly local compactor, once it's out there, there's a no return policy, so sbsorb it at your own risk. Lots to talk about, including Dallas...
Chabdog Chooses Against the Chalk on TNF (Week 9):
https://www.espn.com/nfl/game/_/gameId/401671809/texans-jets What the hell? Jets favored by 2 over the Texans? Like the ridiculous line from a couple weeks back at the Steelers, this is preposterous.... a gift from god. After all, who's still afraid of Aaron Rodgers....
Thank you God, for letting me see this memorable manifestation of Steeler MNF magic….
Thank you God, for letting me see this memorable manifestation of Steeler MNF magic. We had a frenzied crowd, a 100+ plus grind out game from nails Najee, George Pickens picking those catches out of the air without a care (but get that other foot down next time, it...
ChabDog’s Post-mortem for Bloody Sunday, October 27, 2024
It could have been the one of the greatest Sundays in recent memory -- instead here's how the carnage unfolded: --Philly pounded the Bungles repeatedly and without mercy in the second half, after things had started rather favorably for Cincy. Hurts was on target and...
ChabDog Covers the spreads for Week 8:
Baltimore by at least 10... why not. Going Baltimore in Brown town. Detroit by over 10 against the Titans. Why not. Going Detroit. Arizona gets it close against Miami. Arizona. Jets by at least 7 against New England. Why not. Jets. Atlanta getting 2.5 against the...
Taking a look at 5 HoF-worthy inductees for this year’s class:
In my opinion, these 5 are all worthy of enshrinment. A. Clay Matthews was brute force as linebacker, cracking heads and taking no prisoners for 19 years, as integral member of a few Browns teams during the Schottenheimer Era. He was responsible for a mind numbing...
It’s time for ChabDog’s Happy Idiot Week 8 Sports Rock Pool Predictions:
It's time for ChabDog's Happy Idiot Week 8 Sports Rock Pool Predictions: Thank you Brian Keller for the kind words of intro (I am not Worthy, but I'm always willing to try and come up with my best for the big game): That being said, week 8 is a time to say a prayer...
Yankees vs. Dodgers Once Again… and what gives?
1941, 1947, 1949, 1952, 1953, 1955, 1956, 1963, 1977, 1978, 1981... and 2024 Yanks dominated early on, but Dodgers have held their own lately, with the teams splitting the last six... What gives? Dodgers have the intangibles and better relief pitching... . Dodgers in...
ChabDog’s Week 7 Picks Against the Spread —
Jville, Atlanta, Buffalo, Cincy, Green Bay, Indy, Detroit, Giants, Rams, Commanders, San Fran, Pittsburgh, Baltimore, Chargers -- J-ville is the jv, but New England.... New England can't get out of Pop Warner. I'll give the 4.5 to New England without a worry. Atlanta...
Join us for the Week 7 Alfred E. Neuman Sunday Brunch Selection Show…
Beautiful losers never take it all...and they just don't need it all... but not so at ChabDog Sports Talk, where we're engaged and ready for the fray. Join us for the Alfred E. Neuman Sunday Brunch Selection Show... Yes, our star studded cast of characters will indeed...
ChabDog’s Week 7 Sports Rock Pool winners…. It’s risky business but somebody’s gotta do it…. inspired by last year’s champion and this year’s beautiful loser, Phil Kissfan…. picks with a Bob Seger twis
SAINTS give the erratic Bronco offense the Silver Bullett treatment JAGUARS win at Wembley because the ex-Patriots are still the same.... they totally suck Like a rock through scissors, the LIONS bust up the Purple Pillagers in their own village Queen City has her...
ChabDog’s Yom Kicker Weekend Picks (Sanctioned by a “Higher Authority”):
J'ville feels right at home against Da Bears, who don't really like swimming across the pond. Chicago -1.5 is not a winner. True to form, AZ follows a good week with a bad one, and GB is happy to be coming home (they cover 4.5) TN is like a Hebrew National juicy...
CHABDOG’S TAKING A HIGH DIVE INTO THE PERILOUS WATERS OF GAME FIVE:
CHABDOG'S TAKING A HIGH DIVE INTO THE PERILOUS WATERS OF GAME FIVE: -- DODGERS ARE UP FOR THE CHALLENGE AGAINST THE UPS BOYS FROM SAN DIEGO (SORRY, BUT THEY HAVE TOO MUCH DAMN TALENT) -- CLEVELAND PUTS AN END TO THE CINDERFELLA STORY IN DETROIT; THEIR NASTY...
ChabDog’s Jive Picks for Week 5:
-- The skinny on Minny is it'll winny... by more than 2.5 --Chicago sits on the Panthers, and makes them cry .... by more than 4.5 -- Baltimore runs over the B-gals by at least a field goal -- New England turns over a new leaf and wins by 2 or more -- Washington...
A Convoy of Bucs Will Be Trucking to the Endzone Come Thursday…
RIP Kris Kristofferson, who recently passed. As for passing, Baker will be cooking up some more good stuff for his NFC Southern Buds this Thursday Night in Atlanta. Here I go again picking against the Falcons. Why? Well, why not,given the Bucs' tough run defense,...
Getting to know the “Bagel Twins”…
As we near the onset of the High Holy Days and the beginning of the Jewish New Year/Rosh Hashannah, it seems appropriate to highlight the eerily parallel careers of the "Bagel Twins"... Harold Solomon and Fast "Eddie" Dibbs. Solomon was a bit of a tennis legend in the...
ChabDog subjects the Week 4 spreads to psychoanalysis:
-- Could anything be more unstable than Carr's ego? Yes, the Falcons' grip on anything better than mediocrity. Going with NO. -- Gifting the Bears with 3 point favorite status seems completely delusional. I learned my lesson and am taking the Rams. -- Love is in...
ChabDog’s Week 3 Deep Thoughts Against the Spread —
ChabDog's Week 3 Deep Thoughts Against the Spread -- -- Wildly irresponsible but I haven't missed yet doubting the Jr. G-men.... Cleveland sacks the Gians by more than one score -- No way I'm going to be a dolt and go with the Colts. Da Bears get it done even though...
ChabDog’s Habs and Have-nots against the Week 2 spreads:
-- Baltimore can give away more than 8.5 -- Chargers cover the 6 against sscary bad Scarolina -- Dallas does Derek real bad and blows them out by more than six -- Tampa hangs around the Lions lair, and kkeps this closer than a stupid 6.5 -- Indy beats GB by...
ChabDog’s Pre-visioned pick for this week’s Thursday Night Football Fight:
2.5 is too little for the counterfeit Bills. ChabDog's going with Coach Mikey, Tua and the Aqua Marine scoring machine. Look for lots of shock and awe in South Beach, as the Miami pound machine spits out too many points for an exposed Buffalo defense, that just last...
On Mike Tomlin’s big decision….
One guy was ready to answer the bell, did so, and helped lead his team to VICTORY. The other guy wasn't ready to step up ... injury or otherwise... and hasn't really shown much to indicate he's anywhere near the guy he used to be in terms of leader. There's just no...
