There's no way around it -
If you're Cuban and from Miami, eating lechón (roast pork), black beans over white rice, platanos maduros and yucca on Christmas Eve is as common as keeping your girlfriend away from your weird uncle.
But I'm super jolly and not freezing in Elizabeth, New Jersey right now, so here are some last-minute stocking stuffers (bets) for all NFL bettors! Note: We're coming off a 3-0 week and 24-12-1 on the season!
Cheers! And please bet responsibly.
Raiders @ Steelers (-2)
Saturday, 8:15 p.m. Acrisure Stadium, Pittsburgh
Are you really going to bet on a Raiders team (1) coming off a fluky win vs. the Patriots (2) a long ways from home a day before Christmas and (3) playing the geeked up Steelers, several days after losing a franchise icon (Franco Harris)?
I don't think so! I wouldn't trust this Las Vegas outfit at a brothel owned by my Cuban uncle. Seriously. All bets are off (I guess) in freezing temperatures, but I don't see the poorly-coached Raiders being able to weather the emotional storm they will face against the Steelers, not only playing better, but still breathing in the AFC postseason race. If that's not enough to bet the home fav Steelers, it's the 50th anniversary of 'The Immaculate Reception' and the game airs on The NFL Network. So, look for a juicy ending - a few minutes before it's officially Christmas - that The NFL Network can replay 3,458 times next week .... Let's bet the Steelers to cover (-2).
Eagles @ Cowboys (47)
Saturday, 4:25 p.m. AT&T Stadium, Dallas
Interesting dynamic in this spot, especially considering how the NFL betting market has been shaken this week thanks to cold weather and awful, but well-promoted backup QBs getting a chance to play important minutes.
Nothing against Gardner Minshew, but the facial hair wonderkid is just a novelty being played up in the sake of adversity. Also: The NFL has to sell you on watching Eagles-Cowboys, even if Jalen Hurts is on the shelf (for now). I'm also not sold, long-term, on the Cowboys, an uneven bunch I really don't trust.
So, we're going to bet the game goes Under the total of 47..
