UNCLE IRA

Cincinnati -2.5
at Saints

It’s time for the defending AFC champs to get on a roll.

The Meadowlands will be rocking as Saquon Barkey has a field day.

JOE

From bad to worse: Colts running game stinks. And now their top two backs are out Sunday. So the Colts will have to rely on aging Matty Ice. Oh, boy.  

The Super Bowl champions are not exactly lighting up the world. And West Coast teams don’t do so well playing on the East Coast. Joe is getting a hunch Carolina plays a bit better without Matt Rhule. Rams will win but won’t cover.

The Belicheats pull off the upset. The Belicheats have been playing a lot better since they’ve turned to Bailey Zappe. Besides, Cleveland is overrated on defense.   

Bob The Bookie (Joe’s old college buddy)

Giants are a nice story but are overmatched against a very legit Ravens team.

Denver hasn’t proven it can go toe-to-toe with the Chargers’ firepower. 

It’s a mess in Miami, and it’s not in Minnesota.

Last week’s record: Ira 2-1; Joe 0-3; Bob The Bookie 2-1

2022 Season: Ira 6-9; Joe 3-12; Bob The Bookie; 10-5.
