My pick: listed first. Home team: CAPS. Post-game comments, if any, in italics.

Argentina -115 vs. France World Cup moneyline 2x bet ✅ ✅ — Football is football. The Commissioner’s Office informs me that this bet does not count as “football”.

Cowboys -3.5 vs. JAGUARS ❌ — I get it that Dallas was flat last week (and maybe even a little lucky), and Doug Pederson has the Jags playing well. But I’d have though Dallas would be something 6.5 points favored. What a miserable way to lose a game.

Patriots +2.5 vs. RAIDERS ❌ — I feel like I get burned every time I bet the Pats but I say they finish the season strong. Worth it just to see the Pats lose that way and make the Dallas game seem like it ended with some dignity.

Bengals -3.5 vs. BUCS ✅ — Happy to bet against Brady on this one.
