The Rocky movies probably wouldn’t have taken off as much as they did if Rocky was Bantamweight or some bullshit like that. The people LOVE a heavyweight fight. It’s kind of why the Cold War was so popular. This Thursday is an absolute heavyweight showdown. Trevor Lawrence, Travis Etienne and the Clemson Tigers are going to take on Joe Burrow, Jamaar Chase with the LSU Tigers. It’s going to be a gr…
Fuck me.
This isn’t that game. This isn’t the 2019 National Championship. Fuck.
This game sucks.
Stinky Butt Jags @ Bengals
(Bengals -7, O/U 46)
When was the last time the Bengals were a 7 point favorite? It has to have been a long time.
Listen, I think the Bengals are a neat team. They have a lot of players who can score, they have a QB that I think will end up being pretty good, and now a head coach who has the basic cognitive skills that are past what a toddler has. So that’s all good.
The Jags? They’re dead set on being bad. It’s not even “one step forward, two steps back” it’s “cut my legs off and drown in my own blood”.
You can look at the differences in DVOA with the Jags being rated 31st overall (29th in offense and 27th in Defense) and the Bengals being rated 11th overall (25th offense, 4th defense). It’s not set up to be a good game.
What I’m looking at the most here is the scoring differential. The Jags have been losing by an Average of 16 points, and with there only being 3 games so far, it’s important to note that there isn’t an outlier (16 points, 10 points, and 22 points). They’re not just losing, but they’re losing and not coming through the back door. These guys stink like butts and they’re going to continue to do so.
Bengals -7. Use this in a teaser too. Drop it to Bengals -1.
I’m going to bring a crowd favorite back: If the Jags cover this game, I’ll drink a cup my own piss. Seal it in blood.
