Welcome to The Degenerate - Each week we’ll give you a few picks, insights, trends, and what to watch for on Sunday. Full disclosure - neither of us claim to be experts. We’re just two guys who’ve spent many years betting like chumps, and now we are passionate about helping others to avoid being one.
Big bounce back with a solid weekend. Brace yourself for Week 13. These bets are going to make you cringe. I’m talking fear factor, stomp in shit, eat a rat type stuff. The public got slaughtered last week, so perhaps a few “too easy” lines do cash…but a donkey could tell you to bet those. Keep scrolling at your own risk!
New coach alert - Lions @ Bears -3
Yea yea yea, the Bears suck ass. They should not be favored against anyone. But none of that logic applies to this game. If you’ve followed us, you should know by now that we ALWAYS bet on a team after a coaching change. Stupid Pencil dick Patricia is finally out, and the Lions respond with glee. Take Detroit with the points just in case they shit their pants.
The Pick – Lions +3
No Fuller, no problem - Colts @ Texans +3
We’ve said multiple times now that we were no longer betting the Texans after they broke our hearts in Tennessee. Well, we lied (again). Yes the Colts just got their dick kicked in by Tennessee, but they are still clearly the better team and have something to play for. On top of that – Will Fuller just got suspended for the rest of the season. Perfect segue (Segway for you morons) for us to introduce our other theory – tail a team if a start player is out. The public should be all over Indy in this one. Be better!
The Pick – Texans +3
“Winning streak” snaps - Giants @ Seahawks -10
The Giants have won three in a row, which by NFC East standards is 16-0. But, Jamal Adams is back and the Seahawks defense is starting to come together as the playoffs inch closer. Russ does enough, Chris Carson eats, and it doesn’t matter if it’s Danny Dimes or Colt McCoy - Seattle shuts em down. Gmen hit a huge bump in the road and get molly whomped in this one.
The Pick - Seahawks -10
Wheels coming off in Vegas - Raiders @ Jets +8
Any time Greg bets a game involving the Jets, he loses. No matter the side, overs, or unders - it would bite him in the ass. Well, that changed last week when he took the Fins -7. No exaggeration, he’s gone 0-80 until last week. So what does that mean? It’s due to even out, and he’s ready to win his next 79 bets on Gang Green! The Raiders always do this shit. They look legit, and then they just flat out lose it. Flat tire, cookie crumbles, fart in the wind. No better spot for a team to right their wrongs than a Sunday in New Jersey, right? But it ain’t happening!
The Pick – Jets +8
Make it Nasty - Browns @ Titans -5.5
And here it is – your sharpest pick of the day! And boy is it disgusting. Does anybody want to bet against the Titans now that Derek Henry is just running over everyone? The Browns barely made it out alive in Jacksonville (as predicted) and this is a perfect spot for the public to take Tennessee spread, live and tease. It’s the battle of running games, and we think Chubba dub dub comes out on top.
The Pick – Browns +6.5 (buy a point)
Player Props:
Chubb and Hunt rushing yards over – browns running game rolls. Take ‘em both!
Fitzpatrick over yards – has a field day against the Bungals
Quick hitters:
Bengals @ Dolphins -11.5 – in what world is Ryan Fitzpatrick a double digit favorite? Fins Up!
Jaguars @ Vikings - 10 - Start shitty Quarterbacks and cover double digit spreads - thats what Jacksonville does! The Browns, the Pack, the Texans… Jags have covered 3 of their last 4. Time to flip the script. Purple rolls.
Football Team @ Steelers - 8.5 - Alex Smith is looking good, but ya can’t play the Cowboys D every week. Steelers bounce back big after a sloppy Ravens win.
AHHHHHHHAAHHAHHHHH UNDA - Chargers Pats U 47.5
Overall: 42-32
