NFL Picks:
Buffalo Bills vs. Pittsburgh Steelers:
- I’ve got a hunch the Bills will not only cover the spread at -10 but also win big, perhaps 14-0 or 21-0.
- And with the current weather conditions, it’s a no-brainer to hammer the under at 33.5. Ten inches of snow and freezing cold? Solid bet.
Josh Allen (Buffalo Bills):
- Now, let’s talk about Josh Allen. I’d go with the under on his passing yards at 208.5.
- Also, consider the under for his total Pass + Rush yards at 251.5.
Mason Rudolph (Pittsburgh Steelers):
- Mason Rudolph hasn’t been shining lately. I’m going with the under for his passing yards at 149.5.
- And let’s not expect miracles; go with the under for his total Pass + Rush yards at 155.5.
- I mean, last week, he only threw for 152 passing yards in a critical game Pittsburgh had to win. Can he do better in a foot of snow and freezing temperatures? I doubt it.
Miami Dolphins vs. Kansas City Chiefs:
- The Dolphins and Chiefs game? This one’s crazy; it might be the coldest in NFL history with temperatures around -8 and a wind chill around -30.
- I can’t see how anyone can perform in that kind of cold, so hammer the under at 44 points.
- Seriously, I don’t think anyone can move properly in those temperatures, let alone score big in the game.
UFC Picks:
Jim Miller:
- Now, onto UFC. Jim Miller, he’s been around forever. The man looks healthy and sharp. I’m taking Miller to win this one.
Andrei Arlovski:
- Andrei Arlovski, he’s like a cat with nine lives. Former UFC champ over a decade ago and still finding ways to win.
- Yeah, he’s on a two-fight losing streak, but he’s facing a Dominican Republic fighter, and their wrestling isn’t their strong suit. Plus, the guy has only a fraction of Arlovski’s experience.
- Arlovski is at +525; I’d put a small bet on him and hope for a big win. Who knows, he might surprise us again.
Magomed Ankalaev vs. Johnny Walker:
- Lastly, Ankalaev vs. Walker. Walker is entertaining and wild, but I don’t think he has the skills, especially against a Russian with solid grappling.
- Remember that time Ankalaev took him down after a stomach kick? The worst doctor in UFC history saved Walker from a KO.
- Ankalaev could have been the champ with different judges, but that’s in the past. My money’s on Ankalaev to beat Johnny Walker.
