The Giants are Shattered-NFL Week 10 Analysis- Sportsbozos

Thursday recap- Wrong again moose breath!

Steelers crushed the Panthers Thursday night 52-21 as big Ben threw more TD passes (5) than incompletions (3) for a perfect 158.3 QB rating. Although Carolina’s defense was completely ineffective against Big Ben and Company, the bright spot again was the Fireman, Christian McCaffrey. The 2nd year RB from Stanford tallied 77 yds. and one TD rushing to go with 61 yds. and 2 TDs receiving as Carolina dropped to (6-3). Pittsburgh moved to (6-2-1) and look like a viable AFC Championship contender. Bozos had this as a tight game with the Panthers covering, I was watching Wake Forest/ NC State by 9:15.

Sunday attempt to find a game worth watching

The Head Bozo is struggling to find an important game this weekend. There is only one game featuring two teams with winning records. The red-hot NO Saints (7-1) visit the Queen City to face the angry redhead Andy Dalton and the Bengals (5-3). Unfortunately for the animals in the Jungle, Cincy’s star receiver AJ Green will not play (foot), putting even more pressure on Dalton and the running game featuring Joe Mixon. Bungle in the Jungle.

Brees, Kamara and Thomas are lighting up the league and moved into the dominant position in the NFC with their win against the previously undefeated Rams last week. NO signed Dez Bryant to the mix this week adding to their arsenal of talent. We don’t see the Saints slowing down this Sunday, especially with the Bengals all pro WR sidelined. Gonna lay the 5 ½ on the road.

Hey Dad, look at me!!!

Another game of interest is New England (7-2) at Tennessee (4-4). The Pats are coming off a satisfying home win against Aaron Rodgers and the Packers while the Titans upset the Cowboys in Dallas. Titans Coach Mike Vrabel takes on his former mentor/ father Bill Belichick and Big Bill rarely loses when he faces his ex-players and assistant coaches. The Tennessee offense is way too conservative to outscore NE. Look for the Pats to make it 7 straight and cover the 6 ½ on the road.

Atlanta has been hot lately and visit an inconsistent Browns squad in Cleveland. Another road favorite- give the 6 at the pound. Cleveland’s secondary is abominable. Which way did he go George?

Aaron Rodgers needs a big win and the schedule has dialed up the Miami Dolphins at home. Just what the Doctor ordered, GB puts a hurting on Miami, tropical fish traditionally don’t travel well to the arctic environments.

Washington’s defense might be able to slow down Tampa’s scoring machine. Take the Skins (+3). The Groper is still out, they sent him to Publix to get some grouper.

Jacksonville will break their 4 game losing streak in Indy vs. Luck and the improving Colts. Take the three. Jax D returns to form. Money line bet baby! Under city. Give me a Blake!

Detroit has been inconsistent this year, what’s new? The Lions have the goods but lose when they should win and vice versa. After the humiliation suffered at the hands of Minnesota last week we look for Detroit to come out angry against the Bears in Chicago. Chicago had it too easy last Sunday against the Bills but this will be a close one. Lions (+6 ½) in a big division game for both to stay in the playoff race. These teams meet again in the Motor City in 12 days for turkey. Lions and Tigers and Bears, oh my!

Kansas City is favored by 17 at home against Arizona. What are you supposed to do here? Can anyone stop Mahomes, Hurdling Hunt and that offense? I guess not. Not Arizona anyway. We can’t take the Cards when it could be 24-0 with 10 minutes to go in the first half. I’m sorry Mr. Rosen, not quite yet.

We can’t believe the Chargers are favored by 10 on the road, even if it is the ridiculous Raiders. Men in silver and black will fight and cover the spread or there may be a riot. Phillip Rivers will be shown in his usual constipated face look on the bench, watch for it.

The (8-1) Rams are home to Seattle and ae looking to start another win streak after the tough loss to the Saints. La y the 9 ½ as Seattle is hard to figure out and can disappoint you at a moment’s notice. Russell Wilson is not getting enough protection and that will cause havoc in the Seahawks backfield. Todd Gurley man will continue steamrolling defenses on his way to league MVP.

The Dallas Cowboys are in turmoil as whiney Jerry is complaining about everyone. Maybe he should look in the mirror. Dak Prescott and Zeke Elliott have been mostly ineffective. Philly would love nothing better than to smoke the Cowboys this Sunday night, go (5-4), and hand Dallas a (3-6) record. We think the Eagles are fired up for this one and will slam the door on Jerry and his 2018 playoff quest. Give Dallas the TD.

Pitiful Game of the Week

The NY Jets, with rookie Sam Darnold hurt and not playing, are facing Nate the Catalog Peterman and the “we gave up on the season” Bills. King Give-up LeSean McCoy is having a lousy time of it and pouting as usual. Will Josh McCown summon up some of his old magic and figure out a way to withstand the Bills? Buffalo is so bad, it’s hard to watch, especially after showing so much promise clobbering the Vikings in Minnesota in Week 3. Scoring 46 points in six games, really? But wait, the Bills, who can’t score, against the Jets, who have scored 33 points in their last three games, who can’t score? How about 4 FGs to 3. Go Buffalo! Take the 7 when you get off the Turnpike.

The final game of the weekend, Pitiful Game of the Week # 2, is the other New York team, the (1-7) Giants against the (2-7) 49ers in California. There is not much more to say about the SHATTERED Giants and Eli, when the aging, immobile Manning should take a seat on the bench, when Mr. “I’m too important to wait in the New York traffic” is ready,etc… Unfortunately the backup Kyle Lauletta, is absolutely not ready to play, either from a football perspective or from a maturity perspective. The entitled former Richmond Spider blew past some traffic cops in his fancy bonus Jaguar twice in two days in Weehawken NJ, raising some real questions about his dedication and judgement. People dressed in plastic bags- directing traffic, some kind of fashion-sh-doobie- Sure the Giants have OBJ and the incredibly productive Saquon Barkley, but still aren’t giving any protection to Eli. Former Tampa Coach John McKay famously said ’”we can’t’ block, but we make up for it by not tackling”. Well, that fits the Giants. My brain’s been battered, spillin’ all over Manhattan-They’re in tatters!

SF has their own problems at QB, with Slippin’ Jimmy Garoppolo out and CJ Bethard ailing, Nate “Moon” Mullins gets the start after a surprisingly effective performance crushing Oakland last Thursday.

If the Giants can get Barkley on a roll against a suspect 49ers run defense, The G-Men could make a game out of it. Maybe, just maybe, Eli can last in the pocket more than 2 seconds and connect with Beckham for a much needed breakout game. Let’s face it, if the Giants can’t get a win against a two-win team with a 3rd string QB, when are they going to get one? Might as well take the points and pray. Pile it up, pile it high on a platter! This is a Prime Time Game? Frankly, I’ll be watching an Amazon Prime Series instead.
