There is no debate that Natalie Tran is one of the hottest women on YouTube. But the YouTube mogul for making viewers big money is the sports gambling channel. Jennifer Aniston is about the r-word, but Grandmaster Sports Handicapper Joe Duffy’s YouTube videos are about the w-word: winning.
Matt Rivers has a free NFL pick Saturday is on the Seattle Seahawks on the NFL spread at a pick.
I do not love the talent that this Seattle team possesses and do admit that they are a banged up squad that is fairly thin defensively but Pete Carroll is going to want to win these preseason games and that should be enough once again. The coach is trying to make a splash back into the league and winning is super important to him right now.
I backed the Seahawks in the opener laying the 3 ½ only to watch them allow a late two point conversion in the two point victory over the Titans. That definitely was a bummer but my logic then was that Carroll is going to play cheerleader and have his guys want to win these games more than most other teams and that includes here against the Packers who proved in their opening home loss to the Browns that this time of the year is just not all that important.
Aaron Rodgers is awesome and the Pack have a great shot to do some good things this season. But Matt Flynn and Graham Harrell should get much of the run today and frankly that just does not reallys care me up north in the Great Northwest.
For what it’s worth the Pack dismantled the ‘Hawks last season 48-10 and have now won four straight in the series. Is revenge a huge factor in these games? No not huge but when somebody kicks your teeth in and then mashes it in the turf you will remember it somewhat and the 20 or 30 or whatever players that Seattle still has from last season’s team should have their juices flowing a little more because of it.
Matt Hasselback is still a pro quarterback, Charlie Whitehurst looked very good last week and JP Losman was an NFL starter with the Bills. So at home with Carroll’s pom poms going strong I do see a Seattle win and pretty much therefore a cover.
The pick: Seattle Seahawks -0
For more information: I dropped the ball with the Angels on Friday, there’s no two ways about it. Still six of 9 winning days and a plethora of coin in my pocket this season.
