DEN @ LAC – WEEK 5

The story and the stats don’t line up in this one.

The story goes like this. Vic Fangio is a defensive mastermind and is coming into a defense with Von Miller, Chris Harris Jr, and Derek Wolfe, etc etc and he’s going to figure out the scheme that makes this the 85’ Bears mixed with the Steel Curtain of the 70’s.

The story in Cali is that Bosa and Ingram are going to leaving dents of QBs on the turf with how much pressure they’ve got.

Two DEFENSIVE BEASTS with aging Quarterbacks, pound the under.

NOPE! Doggy don’t think so!

These stories are great. Almost as great as The John Wick series. But they’re FAKE! All these signs that say take the UNDER means take the OVER. And Pound It!

Both of these teams sport middle of the pack defenses. 12 and 13 respectively both at 6.1 yards per play. The Chargers have done a better job of keeping points off the board, just breaking in the top-ten at #10, but the Broncos have allowed 93 points this year and are below average.

I think this one will be close at halftime and second half Rivers shows up.

I love the OVER here. I’ve got no cell service. Who can put this bet in for me?

LAC @ MIA – Week 4

Chargers will have Melvin Gordon back on the sidelines, but he’s a long shot to see any action.  This would likely be a shot of adrenaline to an already tantalizing offense. He very well could be all they need.

Chargers have been averaging in the mid-20s all year, expect an uptick here against a swiss cheese Dolphins defense.

Miami hasn’t shown us they can do anything with the ball.  Week 4 will be a break through for them. It may be luck, but it’ll happen. Somehow.

The Dog is taking the Chargers ATS & The Over.

HOU @ LAC – Week 3

Week 3 brings Houston to LA and The Dog likes Houston. 

While Houston gets dumped on by 4 feet or rain, the Houston D line will be making it rain on Philip Rivers. 

Chargers will be coming off a tough loss in week 2, but even if they manage to improve and complete a game winning drive which is not

Upset play? 

The difference maker in this game will be how effective the Chargers’ defensive line is against the ever-struggling Houston O-Line.

The Chargers are coming off a tough loss and Houston seems to be regressing. They got away with a win at home, but this team could easily be 0-2 right now.

The Pick

Houston +3

UNDER 48

Dog Pound – Week 2

Let’s face it. We’re all in a pinch and crunched for time and sometimes we gotta get in-n-outta Dodge quicker than Barney at the good ole, now defunct (pour one out) Dairyland Greyhound Race Track in the wonderful Cream State of Wisconsin.  That doesn’t mean you should cut out your weekly NFL betting intel. Stop by The Dog Pound for our 5 weekly Picks To Pound.

There’s a lot of noise out there, but these are the bets you need to pound this week. Liquidate the college fund, cash out your 401k, dig up the coin you’ve buried out back and get invested because The Dog LOVES these picks!

Week 2 is shaping up to look like a road team dream.

LAC @ DET – Week 2

No! You’re not in the Doghouse going against a home dog.

I’m taking the Chargers in this one. 

Chargers bested the Colts at home last week by 6 while the Lions came away with a road draw to the Cardinals.  The Andrew Luckless Colts are a better team than they get credit for. Lions go home without much of a roar. Chargers by more than 3.

The Chargers did less travel than Detroit for this Road game. Figure that one out.

I don’t see either of these teams putting up points like they did in years past. Go in your junk drawer, find your Men In Black Neuralyzer, and wipe those memories of high scoring offenses.

LAC -3

My reverse mortgage took longer than expected. Who can put in the bets for me?
