Wagering With Ira

December 4th, 2021

Handicapper

Follow along as JoeBucsFan.com columnist Ira Kaufman makes three NFL picks each week against the spread.

Point spreads courtesy of Joe’s good friends at BetMGM. You may follow various point spreads courtesy of VegasInsider.com.

UNCLE IRA

Arizona -7.5
at Chicago

The Cards are getting healthy off a bye week while the Bears can’t wait for the off-season.

L.A. Chargers
at Cincinnati -3

Joe Mixon should flourish against an atrocious run defense.

Baltimore -4.5
at Pittsburgh

This could be Mike Tomlin’s last game of consequence for the Steelers.

JOE

Denver
at Kansas City -9.5

The Chiefs will win this game but they are awful against the spread. So Joe is taking the points and praying the Broncos don’t turn to that idiot Drew Lock. How can you trust a simpleton who dumps a billionairess beauty queen who will inherit an NFL team some day? Moron.

N.Y. Giants
at Miami -6

While the Giants are playing a little better since they canned Jason Garrett, Miami has surprisingly played good ball the past month or so. Joe is also guessing the warm, humid Miami climate will catch up with the Giants and they will wilt late in the game.  

Washington
at Las Vegas -1.5

The Raiders have responded to former Bucs special teams guru and current Raiders special team guy and interim coach Rich Bisaccia. WTF is playing much better but not sure if they have the firepower to stop Derek Carr.   

Last week: Ira 1-2; Joe 3-0.

Season Record: Ira 18-18; Joe 19-17.

*Full list of this week’s spreads.

Minnesota -7

    Way to go Joe! 3-0 last week! Good picks this week too, especially the Chiefs not covering, solid!

    My 3 below average prognostications: 1. Rams over the Jags: Rams can boat race bad teams like the Giants and Jags but struggle against quality except for that one blip vs the Bucs. 2. Miami over the Giants.: One bad team at home covers over another one and hurting their draft order like the Ray Perkins’ late ’80s Bucs. 3. San Fran over Seattle: Hawks are circling the drain and their QB has looked more like Cam Newton than an MVP candidate. Who would have ever thought Seattle might be on the clock right after the Lions, Jets and Jags next draft?
