NFL Week 7: Ballgame’s Beauties
It was a tumultuous week for “under” wagerers (T-Ballgame included), as several NFL struggles surged over the O/U equator in the waning moments of Week 6. With sound defense and sensible coaching decisions seemingly on hiatus, we saw a continuance of flawed play throughout each of the eight divisions.
Inching toward the mid-season mark, Week 7 promises a host of mysterious head-scratchers, which will no doubt culminate (in some cases) in unexpected and surprising fashion.
Dusting himself off after a heart-wrenching weekend, let’s see how T-Ballgame fares with this week’s three most alluring bets in accordance with his all-time favorite beauties:
Raquel Welch – The bombshell of the bunch, an enticing object of your gambling desires
Sophia Loren – A highly attractive proposition that arouses your bettor interest.
Salma Hayek – An intriguing wager with that “something about it” quality you find mildly irresistible.
Pittsburgh -3.5 @ New Orleans (in Paris) Sunday, 9:30 p.m.
Civil unrest has hit the City of Love, and Tyler Shough and the Saints look to perpetuate the chaos (not love) from the lowly stance of a prohibitive underdog. After toppling the Giants in Week 6, New Orleans looks to gain a foothold in the up-for-grabs conundrum known as the NFC South.
Pittsburgh continues on as perhaps the most overvalued team in the NFL, hardly wowing audiences in Sunday’s overtime win over the Bucs. Nearly escaping Tampa Bay against a callow backup QB (Jalon Daniels), the Steelers will now contend with one of the league’s rising gunslingers in Shough.
While the Europeans backdrops make for a difficult handicap, we like the Saints to remain within a field goal of defeat in our Salma of the week.
The Bet: Saints +3.5
Kansas City @ Seattle, O/U 42.5 Sunday, 8:20 p.m.
In the premier matchup of the week, look for a cat-and-mouse tone when the unbeaten Chiefs venture into hostile Seattle against the defending Super Bowl champs. With the Seahawks boasting the league’s No. 1 ranked defense, the Chiefs aren’t too far behind in the ninth slot.
With Seattle QB Sam Darnold a gaping liability since his return from the DL, Mike Macdonald likely ramps up the workload for Emanual Wilson to ignite a critical ground attack. With Chief’s speedster Kenneth Walker III already leading the NFL in rushing yards, expect a ball-control struggle that keeps the offensive fireworks at a minimum in our Sophia of the week.
The Bet: Under 42.5
Cleveland @ Tennessee, O/U 38.5 Sunday, 1 p.m.
Even with Tennessee finding the win column last week in a highly unforgettable affair, the Titans managed just 168 yards against a feeble Colts defense and were dependent upon special teams theatrics to get the job done. The Browns weren’t exactly the greatest show on turf either, finding the endzone just once in edging out the Ravens.
Cameron Ward versus Deshaun Watson doesn’t exactly inspire over bettors, as these AFC squads congregate in Nashville with offensive units in the bottom four of the league. Although we’re hardly enamored with the low total offering, this Raquel seems like the ultimate, albeit obvious, under wager.
The Bet: Under 38.5
More Sexy Picks to Consider:
Miami vs NY Jets, under 38.5
Raiders +4.5 over Rams
Cowboys vs. Eagles, under 44.5
