Well there's a Thursday Night Special NFL game tonight in frosty Pittsburgh! 'Tis must be the reason for a very welcome e-mail to hit my inbox. That e-mail was from none other than the Big Kahuna (Kahuna being Hawaiian for expert in his field) himself, Big D! Let's get straight to the action, then shall we??! We shall!!--R.B.
The action is where we are at, Richie B. Yes a 2-2 weekend last week, makes us a bit frothy at the mouth. The funny oddsmaker likes to LOWER the totals in the NFL this time of year. You know because it's COLD and all in December in most places. That's nice. Well, Big D takes a look at the weather of course when he puts his money to work. What does he look for? W-I-N-D. Not cold. Not wet. Not hot. WIND, my friends. And if it aint windy, it don't really matter. Capisce (Ka-peesh, Italiano for "understand"?)?
In Pittsburgh tonight, it's going to be 30 degrees. Pretty cold. Wind? 5 mph. LOWWW. Total? 38.5. Wager. OVER! In Green Bay on Sunday, its going to be 28 degrees. Cold. Wind? A little breezy. Total? 52.5. Trying to scare us bookmaker? Not a chance. Look for Rodgers and Palmer to throw the ball silly in that contest. OVER. In Dallas, on Sunday evening? 37 Degrees. Cold. Wind? Not so much. Manning and Romo? Throwin it around as well. Total? 48.5. O-V-E-R. Get it? Got it? Good.
So: OVER 38.5 Pittsburgh/Cleveland tonight, OVER 52.5 Green Bay/Oakland Sunday, OVER 48.5 Dallas/NY Giants, Sunday night. Good luck and god bless.
