boxing day

Las Vegas - It's Boxing Day around the world which is a BIG DEAL holiday. Here in the USA, it's just Saturday.
Just in case you have any friends up North, in Canada, they call it, le Lendemain de Noel! Boxing Day originated in the United Kingdom and is celebrated in a number of countries that previously formed part of the British Empire. Boxing Day was traditionally a day off for servants, and the day when they received a special Christmas box from their masters. The servants would also go home on Boxing Day to give Christmas boxes to their families. According to The Oxford English Dictionary, it is defined as "the first weekday after Christmas day, observed as a holiday on which postmen, errand boys, and servants of various kinds expect to receive a Christmas box." BOX ON!!!

Now, as the GREAT referee Mills Lane used to say before the start of every boxing match, LET'S GET IT ON!!! On the NFL card, we're gonna drop a few pennies on a three team 10-point teaser and hope to win some cash money. Gimme Detroit and take the Lions from +9.5 or +10 if you shop well, and bump 'em up to +19.5/20 against the Bucs. Take Arizona and drop the Cards from -5 to +5 points against the 49ers. Close right here in Las Vegas, and plump the Raiders up from +3 to +13 points against the Dolphins.

Also found a TASTY stat that might attract a few of your dollars. To say that Tampa starts slow is a YUGE understatement. The Bucs have been outscored 59-7 in the 1st Q this season, so we're gonna buy some Motown at around +3 points to win the first 15 minutes.
