Las Vegas - After the 49ers drafted Trey Lance with the third overall pick, everyone was shoving Jimmy Garoppolo out the door. Well, Lance is holding the clipboard while Jimmy G is rowing the boat. He is hitting on 67.4% of his passes and has gobbled up 3,172 air yards, with 18 TDs and 8 INTs. Garoppolo also leads the NFL in both yards per pass attempt (8.5) and yards per completion (12.6). So, the San Francisco offense is humming while Tennessee is still stuck in the mud without superstar RB Derrick Henry. The Titans have lost three of the last four straight up and failed to cover four of the last five. And they have not scored more than 20 points since the middle of November.
Ryan Tannehill is hitting on 66.2% of his passes. Yea sure, but how about 14 TDs & 14 INTs! And how about 11 picks over the last nine games. Of course, we're advising the entire Ecks & Bacon nation to stay vigilant, find all the right information about the COVID-19 lists as well as any late injuries. Looking to tickle the Niners (they've won and covered five of the last six), but with all the issues surrounding the NFL players, it's gonna be a very light tickle. Half, maybe a quarter of the normal wager.
Gonna also get a little taste of the Gasparilla Bowl. If you're not familiar, the game was renamed the Gasparilla Bowl in 2017 as a nod to the legend of José Gaspar, a mythical pirate who supposedly operated in the Tampa Bay area and who is the inspiration for Tampa's Gasparilla Pirate Festival. Bet you didn't know that, and BET you DIDN'T CARE! So, you got a mess of a Florida team at -7 over in-state rival Central Florida. The Gators fired their coach, Dan Mullen, lost their best defensive player, DE Zachary Carter, and starting QB Anthony Richardson will NOT play due to a knee. Emory Jones will start at QB, and get this, he has ALREADY announced he will enter the transfer portal after the game and leave Gainesville. WOW! On a scale of 1 to 10, how committed do you think Jones is in this spot? We're thinking maybe a 2, and also thinking about dropping a few pennies on the UCF Knights.
