The NFL in the Moment – Monday – 8.25pm EDT – Week Six 2017

It was enjoyable watching the Giants win last night. As we have previously stated (below, in several places), the Giants play much better without Odell Beckham.  Play calling is an art, and good play calling requires a tremendous amount of feedback so as to get into the flow of the game. McAdoo may have been a good play caller in the past, but as a Head Coach he simply does not have the time to focus on the job at hand. Tomorrow, we will do a write up about betting, coaching and Quarterbacks to explain why what is happening this season is happening the way that it is.

23/10 Indianapolis Colts (+7)   @   7/20 Tennessee Titans (-7) 

We never have been on the Mariota bandwagon. On the other hand, we have liked Jacoby Brissett from day one, and have seen steady improvement. We have an inkling that Brissett has some degree of “it”, the thing that makes some Quarterbacks significantly better than the rest of the pack, and just have a feeling that he is going to be the next Warren Moon (we think Deshaun Watson is the next Robert Griffin, a story for another day). PFF has Brissett graded at #13 and Mariota at #19, and Brissett has a slightly higher Passer Rating. Tonight, we expect the Quarterback who plays the best to win, and believe that Brissett is ready to break out after his first 300-yard game last week. Despite having 25 more starts, Mariota also has but on 300-yarder. It is only fitting that the favorite lose this game as well, so we bet the Colts at 5/2 this morning.
