Can you spell oblique???
Las Vegas - Follow the money? Let's have a look. The Bills opened up as a -1 point favorite or a pick'em and the line has shifted to the Broncos -1 or -1.5 depending on where you shop. That's some serious cash when an NFL game moves like that. Props to Buffalo QB Josh Allen for putting on his Superman cape against the Jaguars. He was 28/35 for 273 yards, rushed for 33 yards, passed for one TD and ran for two. All with a few visits to the injury tent for head, hand and knee injuries. Bravo Josh. But, and this is a big one, that was against a Jacksonville defense that ain't close to what the Broncos put on the field. Denver led the NFL with 68 sacks, which was ELEVEN more than any other team. And if you're wondering, the Jags had just 32 sacks this season. The Broncs were number two in defensive yards allowed (278.2) behind the Texans and also allowed the fewest TDs (29). And now, Allen will have a limited receiving corps because Gabe Davis and Tyrell Shavers both sustained torn ACLs in the win over the Jaguars. Ouch! And if you're looking at the playoff game last year when Buffalo smoked Denver 31-7, that was a LONG, LONG time ago. Bo Nix, who had a lousy game, AT Buffalo in that loss, has been fabulous this season. Nix has completed 388 of 612 passes for 3,931 yards with 25 TDs and 11 INTs. He also has wheels and has gobbled up 356 yards on the ground. There's a reason that Empower Field at Mile High is such a YUGE advantage. First, duh, it's a MILE HIGH and second, Denver has won 13 of the last 14 at home. Revenge is gonna be sweet and since it's tough to buck a 93% win rate, this guy is riding with the Broncos.
Prop me up with Bo Nix to score an Anytime TD at +$300.
In the late game, can you spell oblique? Just found out that Seattle QB Sam Darnold has an issue with his oblique on the left side. Did some medical research and found out that an oblique injury refers to a strain or tear in one of the oblique muscles along the sides of your abdomen. These muscles the internal and external obliques play a major role in trunk rotation, side bending, posture and even breathing. So, the first one, trunk rotation, is a REALLY, REALLY big deal. It's basically the foundation for generating throwing power, increasing velocity as well as distance and improving accuracy. If Darnold's oblique is compromised, that's a problem. But the NFL teams are very hush-hush about the injuries so we really don't know how bad it is. If we see backup QB Drew Lock on the field, then we will know. The 49ers have GINORMOUS injury problems of their own, with superstar TE George Kittle, DE Joey Bosa and LB Fred Warner all GONE! So with Darnold's status listed as questionable, don't wanna lay a touchdown which is why we're thinking a very light play to Seattle on the money line.
Prop me up with this beauty. If the Seahawks are losing or tied at the half, we would dump a bucket full of chips on the 'Hawks at -1 to win the 3rd quarter.
