Only six weeks remain in the NFL season and the Ravens are doing their very best to shut down the NFL. I guess that’s what happens when the league catches on that your Running Back can’t throw the ball and your team is among the biggest frauds in the NFL. I will not stand for this and have decided to cancel the Ravens for the remainder of the year and most likely deep into the future. No one, and I mean no one can threaten my football season and my gambling and the great content that the Degenerates are putting out each week on all of our platforms. A friendly reminder to follow @BettingDiagonal on Twitter and take a listen to this week's podcast brought to you from your two favorite gambling degenerates, Billy and yours truly. This is what I do. This is what Billy does. We are bringing you the fire each and every week of the NFL season and will be riding the wave deep into College Basketball season. Plus sit back and enjoy our witty back and forth banter as I prove to Billy once and for all that I am the superior gambler. It's okay Billy, I’ll allow you to ride my coattails again this week as you make the perfect Robin to my Batman.
Week 11, I hardly knew ya but Week 12...damn you are looking fine and I can't wait to hopefully make some money off of you this week. Last week was a tough one for us Philadelphia Scumbags as we fell to the once lowly Cleveland Browns. Boy, how the tides have really turned on that one. Football Gods, thank you for the Super Bowl title in 2017 but now I am ready to sell my soul again to bring back the MVP form of Carson Wentz. The Chefs led by an angry Andy Reid got their revenge on the Raiders who stopped the yard all over Arrowhead a few weeks ago to the tune of a 35-31 victory in the desert. At the same time, we may have seen the upset of the season as the Cowboys shockingly took down the Vikings in a game that few could have predicted the end result. Over in Indy, the upstart Colts shocked many by defeating A Aron and the Packers on the leg of the coolest kicker in the league Rodrigo “Don’t Let This Heat Fog Your Glasses” Blankenship. King Henry led his loyal subject once again to victory in a duel against a Flock of Ravens that should have their wings clipped and be grounded since they can't seem to move through the air much these days. So while your favorite team might have lost last week and probably will lose again this week, enjoy your six pack this week and take a look at Betting the Diagonal for some great gambling content.

Indianapolis Colts/Tennessee Titans OVER 51.5 Points (-110):
In a nutshell, this game will likely decide who will be the winner of the AFC South. I have been pumping up the Titans all year as my second favorite team in the NFL but I have been struggling to get an actual read on this game as both of these teams could make a case as to win. One thing that we can expect with so much uncertainty is for them to hit the over. For the Titans, they have hit the over 17 times in their last 23 games while the Colts are no slouch on offense either, putting up 27.6 points per game. AJ Brown and company have been a terrific compliment to the up pace, ground and pound attack of the Titans led by Derrick Henry putting up 27.9 points per game this season. On the flip side, having a competent Quarterback has gone a long way as Phillip Rivers has helped stabilize an offense that has hit its stride under Frank Reich’s tutelage. November has been kind to the Colts as they have put up 35 points per game their last three contests. Sit back and enjoy the fireworks as these two teams look for divisional supremacy.
Kansas City Chiefs/Tampa Bay Buccaneers OVER 56 Points (-110):
This is a matchup of the number 1 offense in the league (Kansas City at 32.1 points per game) against the number 6 offense in the league (Tampa Bay at 29.1 points per game) and it looks like it has the makings of a shoot out. The best part about all the scoring that should come from this game is that this may be a passing of the torch game...the greatest Quarterback of All Time handing over the keys to the NFL to the best Quarterback in the NFL right now. The amount of offensive weapons that both teams have at their disposal is drool worthy and makes you wonder how great it would be to have just one of them on your favorite team. With the abundance of playmakers on the field, kick back with a beer or six and some wings and enjoy this good ol’ fashioned slugfest between two possible Super Bowl opponents. Photo: Getty Images
New York Giants -6.5 (-107) against the Cincinnati Bengals:
It really is a shame that the Bengal offensive line is so bad because it cost us one of the most exciting rookies in recent memory in Joe Burrow. From all of us here with the Fantasy Football Degenerates, we are wishing him the speediest and healthiest recovery. Back on the football field, it says a lot about your backup quarterback if, after only 1 and a half quarters of football, you are being replaced by a guy who has not taken a meaningful snap in a few seasons. This crippled Bengal team goes up against an extremely hot Giant football team that has won back to back games and is 4-0 ATS in their last four games. Danny Dimes should have no issue picking apart the Bengals with both his arm and his legs this week as the Bengals defense is giving up 27 points per game this season and have recorded a league low 13 sacks this season. To one of the members of the Degenerates, Jared Phillip...enjoy watching your team play a crummy team that my team could not beat while I drown my sorrows in preparation for our slaughter (more on that to come).
Buffalo Bills -4.5 (-110) against the Los Angeles Chargers:
While Justin Herbert and the Bolts have done some very nice things this season and their long term trajectory is extremely bright, this week will be quite the challenge going up against the Bills Mafia. The Chargers come into this matchup with the 24th ranked defense, giving up 27.3 points per game and matchup against the 11th ranked Bills offense led by MVP candidate Josh Allen. This matchup figures to see plenty of Stefon Diggs as well as the star wide receiver has already reeled in 73 catches for 906 yards as the speedster from Maryland continues to stake his claim amongst the elite receivers in the NFL. Also playing into the Bills favor is the early start for a west coast team. Los Angeles will be traveling across the country for a 1PM kickoff (10AM on the west coast). The Chargers are currently on a four game skid ATS and despite the success of their Justin Bieber lookalike, are set to drop another game on their quest to a top 10 draft pick.
Arizona Cardinals -1.5 (-110) against the New England Patriots:
This game is a little tricky as we do not know just how banged up Kyler Murray’s shoulder happens to be. The little engine that could managed to complete 69% (nice) of his passes last week but was noticeably avoiding contact which limited his touches on the ground. Cam Newton has not looked all that great this year, a far cry from his MVP days down South and the Patriot offense has struggled this year putting up only 20.9 points per game, the 27th ranked offense in the league. The better team here is the Cardinals and even though the greatest coach of all time will be on the other sideline, the red birds should be able to steal a win on the road.Playing into the Cardinals favor, the Patriots are only 4-6 ATS this season with their opponents covering by an average of 3.9 points.

And the highly anticipated, most electrifying Lock of the Week...This is not just my Lock of the Week...This is my BET THE HOUSE, LOCK OF THE YEAR!!!
Seattle Seahawks -5 (-110) against the Philadelphia Eagles:
As a die hard Philadelphia Scumbag, this line makes absolutely no sense to me. I have watched every snap of my Eagles this season and it is fair to say they are absolute trash. My favorite player is a shell of his former self, and there are legitimate concerns if Carson Wentz will ever be able to replicate the MVP form we saw back in 2017. 2020 has not been kind to many of us, but Wentz’s has completely lost his feel for the game and his confidence is shattered. Thanks Doug for being a shitty play caller and thanks Howie for drafting a quarterback in the second round, invalidating all the praise you had slung Carson’s way over the past few seasons. If you ever watched these two teams play in the past, the Seahawks own the Eagles both in Philly and in Seattle. With the Seattle defense starting to round into form, the inept Eagles offense will struggle moving the ball consistently...not that it hasn't been a struggle all season long. Chef Wilson cooks the Eagles defense historically and with the season he is having, you can expect him to pad his MVP stats with this one. The Eagles are among the very worst ATS this season with a record of 3-6-1 while the Seahawks are 6-4 ATS this season so hammer the Seahawks here all the way to the bank. Photo: Seattle Times
