mustache 2

Las Vegas - Gimme some MUSTACHE baabbbeee!!! Been riding Gardner Minshew and his 'Stache the first two games and we put two Ws in the bank. Will admit that when it comes to facial hair, Miami's QB Ryan Fitzpatrick is at the top of the charts. Fitz's beard rivals Gandalf the White from the Lord of the Rings, and apparently, Fitz is throwing some shade at the Gardner. When he was asked about the facial hair face-off, he said, “The mustache versus the beard. I think the beard is a cooler look. I think guys that grow mustaches a lot of times have patchy sides for their beards so they just stick with the mustache." Minshew claims that he actually grew a fine beard with NO PATCHES! But you know where The Mustache KILLS The Beard? On the field. The Mustache was a RIDONKULOUS 19 of 20 for 173 yards and 3 TDs in the week 1 upset of the Colts, then hit 30 of 45 for 339 yards and 3 TDs in the week 2 cover against the Titans. The Mustache spread the love around as well, hitting EIGHT different receivers, and RB James Robinson gobbled up 102 yards on the ground. Did anyone say BALANCE?

And more good news for The Mustache. The Jaguars will face a Miami team that ranks 30th in total defense (440.5 yards per game) and 29th against the run (164 ypg).

Jax has covered four of the last five and look like the side in the battle for Florida. Gotta ask you to keep an eye on the injury report, because the Jags center, Brandon Linder, is listed as questionable. If he plays, it's all in on the Jaguars. If he is out, still like Jax to cover, but it's only a tiny little appetizer.

On the hardwood down in the bubble, the Nuggets at +6 are very tempting, but gonna wait and see. After making a few pennies with Denver on Tuesday night, I'll hold up and wait to see if the Nuggs go down 3-1 to the Lakers. Because THAT is when they do their BEST work. Just ask the Clippers and Jazz.
