It’s all exclusive to GetMoreSports.
This week you get a little bonus content as Chris and Glenn toss out some NCAA Football information now that Bowl season is on the horizon and the conference championships are coming up.
Football season doesn’t start until after Thanksgiving is a mantra around the New England Patriots organization, and Chris and Glenn have incorporated that into their NFL picks philosophy.
They open the football discussion with one of the biggest games of the week as the Minnesota Vikings, fighting for at least a Wild Card spot in the NFC, travel to Gillette Stadium to face off against the aforementioned Patriots. New England is riding a 12-game win streak at Foxborough is are 10-2 against the spread in that time frame.
Chris went with the Pats over the New York Jets last week with his Bulletproof pick and nailed it. Glenn went with the over in the Atlanta Falcons vs New Orleans Saints game and dropped it thanks to three Falcons red zone turnovers. It was the first time in NFL history that an over-under of 59 or better wasn’t hit.
They turnaround and deliver their Week 13 Bulletproof picks and both guys take the same team.
“If this ain’t Bulletproof City, then I don’t know what it is,” Chris said.
I won’t spoil their pick, but their reasoning is more than sound and if you’ve already read The FAQ, you know I made the exact same pick.
From there, the Gronkowski brothers roll right into a conversation about the Oakland Raiders and their disastrous 2018 campaign.
“It’s a good thing that they’re moving, because Oakland is not Bulletproof City,” Chris said. “… We watched an NHL team go into Vegas and be successful in their first year. From here, the Raiders’ season is over. The team has given up on their coach and there’s turmoil in the locker room.”
The Raiders, of course, are in a complete rebuild. He has a bevy of first round picks over the next couple of seasons with which to do it. I don’t know why Gruden felt the need to decimate the team. Oakland went 12-4 just two seasons ago and obviously had a quality roster, which Gruden has since traded away.
That segues into a discussion of the point spread between the Kansas City Chiefs (-15) and the Oakland Raiders. The spread between these two teams has never been this high and there have been some terrible Raiders and Chiefs teams in the past.
Before the show wraps up, Chris and Glenn deliver their Capper’s Cup picks, where each guy selects five teams on a weekly basis to win against the spread, and close out the show with their Fan Question of the Week.
