Week 15 Vegas lines, Hawkmoon 269 edition

(Records as of LM at time of writing)

Lions (8-5) vs Bears (12-0) Bears by 24.5. Congratulations your NFC North Champion Bears.. New Chad has brought energy and excitement. You should follow him @CitizenChad on twitter. What a pity his spirit will be crushed this week like.. well you'll see from the video.



Bengals (8-4) vs Ravens (6-7) Bengals by 10.5. In this week's league podcast I previewed this game listing the bengals' weapons. I actually forgot about Colston. Good grief the Bengals have some weapons. Match-up will be Monday morning Eastern. A win goes a long way to getting the Bengals in the playoffs.

Titans (7-5) vs Bills (4-9) Titans by 8.5. I want to scream upset alert but this isn't a good match-up for the bills who statistically struggle against the run. Allen and Super Mario are pass rushers but you won't be able to pitch to Lynch and get to the corner which limits the bills to up the middle.

Seahawks (6-7) vs Rams (6-7). Rams by 1.5. Anybody want to win the West?

Colts (7-5) vs Browns (10-2). Browns by 15.5. Zack(h) has an irrational hate of the colts. Mostly because the colts made the AFC championship in the year he thought he should to play the bears - a team he has always wanted to play (John won't let Zack play him until they are married).

Giants (2-11) vs Star-men (9-4) Star-man by 20.5. Jeff makes big strides to locking up wildcard in this one.

Eagles (6-7) vs Bucs (6-7) Eagles by 8.5. Bucs don't match up well against Eagles. I anticipate big games from the eagles receiving core.

Pats (10-2) vs Broncos (4-. Pats by 10.5. Upset alert!!. The Broncos rush the passer well could put pressure on Brady. Todd needs this game..
How much?? Like a desert needs rain, like a town needs a name. Like a rhythm unbroken; like drums in the night; like sweet soul music;
Like sunlight; Todd needs this game. Like coming home... And you don't know where you've been, Like black coffee, Like nicotine.. Todd needs this game.
Like a Phoenix rising needs a holy tree; like the sweet revenge of a bitter enemy. Todd needs this game. Like the hot needs the sun; like honey on her tongue; like the muzzle of a gun; like oxygen. Todd needs this game. Like thunder needs rain; like a preacher needs pain; like tongues of flame; like a sheet stained. Todd needs this game. Like a needle needs a vein; like someone to blame; like a thought unchained; like a runaway train. Todd need this game.

Falcons (2-10) vs Saints (9-2). Saints by 10.5 Congratulations your NFC South Champion, New Orleans Saints

Dolphins (8-4) vs Cards (2-9). 'phins by 12.5. Tonight's pats vs 'phins game influences the importance of this game but either way I suspect Miami will come out on top to continue the AFC wildcard log jam

Packers (5- vs Vikings (3-9). Packers by 5.5. Only match-up that might mean more to certain people not involved compared to the participants.

Raiders (3-9) vs Steelers (8-5) Steelers by 15.5. Steelers bounce back. Stay firmly in hunt.

Panthers (3-10) vs Chargers (9-4) Chargers by 17.5. Keep pressure on the chiefs

Chiefs (8-4) vs Jags (0-12) Chiefs by 15.5. Chiefs have done a lot with very little

Texans (8-5) vs Jets (2-10) No line - sub game

Redskins (10-2) vs 49ers (7-6). 'Skins by 15.5. Ahh Ray Rice will be crushed.. Excellent





Oh and just in case you forgot. Here's a reminder how much Todd needs to win

Records could use an edit.

I hope you do these forever Ken, whether it gets replies or not people (me) love reading them.

Absolutely!

Just had a super close game with Todd where an endzone interception in the last seconds really helped me out.

BTW, I think last week, you predicted "Cotton 3 catches 150 yards 3 TDs". Well, Cotton had 3 catches, 174 yards and 1 TD (should have been 2, but I did the Stokely run across the field to soak up a couple seconds at the end of the game and thought the ref was a Bronco players, stalled and his players caught up to me and tackled me at the 2 yard line).

In summary, Ken is awesome.

(John won't let Zack play him until they are married).

That is fucking hilarious. Well done Dr Ken, much better than your usual pun-based humour.

Well that's the very embodiment of a back-handed compliment... :>

It just played well into my sense of humour, but please, take it as a back-handed compliment if you please.

Nice. A U2 clip before they started to phone it in big time (circa 2001 onwards)

Great work Ken, great feature for the league. I will admit that I am a bit nervous for my match-up vs. the Bears, but I am going to try and get serious about my defense in the coming days so I can compete out there with some of the best. Here's hoping.

U2 is almost as bad as the Beatles.

Considering that there are at least three Packer fans and 2-3 Viming fans in the league, I am guessing that this game only matters to Scott and I.

We just played this past month while I was going through orientation in Anchorage. If my sister, my other sister, plus my other sister, my brother and my nephew had not been in my ear. I would not have lost to the Packers by a field goal as time expired. I expect to lose by at least two field gpals this time, lose the rest of my rookies to injury for the year, and this time be distracted by my wife, my kid, my other kid and my dog! You only need to bring your D game this time instead of your C game like last time Scott!

I don't think I can love this statement any more than I do now. Though I think I need to give U2 more of a fair shake before I jump to conclusions.

Get hold of Boy, War, Unforgettable Fire, Joshua Tree, Rattle & Hum, Achtung Baby, Zooropa and Pop.

Forget about the rest.

Is my win the biggest number line upset?

It would be right up there!
