Quote:Some of you actually read this dreck beyond the first paragraph?  Tell me, why do you need to read what a completely clueless outsider has to say about YOUR team?  If you folks are gluttons for punishment there are plenty of nobodies, like Bill Simmons, looking for a cheap target trying to make himself sound sports savvy.  

 

I started ignoring this crap a long time ago.

<b>Jaguars (+11.5) over RAMS</b>

I know we just spent more than 3,000 words explaining why the 2013 Jags are hopeless. But I can't lay this many points with Sam Bradford unless you're holding me upside down and electrocuting my scrotum … and even then, I'd probably fight you off for a solid hour.


News flash: It's not insane to take historically bad teams once the spreads shift against them to the point that it becomes ridiculous.
The 2008 Lions
went 0-16 but 7-9 against the spread, playing four straight single-digit games from Week 6 through Week 9. The pathetic 1990 Pats lost a Week 7 game by seven points in Miami to a 12-4 Dolphins team. The secretly egregious 2010 Panthers (2-14, blown out 10 times) nearly won in New Orleans in Week 4 and beat San Francisco in Week 7. The list goes on and on. Historically bad teams usually make a couple runs in October before rolling over and playing dead. And again, you can't lay this many points with SAM BRADFORD. Come on.
