10th Pick Jacksonville Jaguars

2010 NFL Draft, Tyson Alualu

With the 10th pick the Jags select DT Tyson Alualu. As long as it’s not Clausen I dig it. Jags are so boring anyway, they should be moved to another city. That was for you Dirty.

FTRsports Week 17 NFL Power Rankings

Week 16 may have the worst gambling opportunities for football fans in the history of gambling. The bottom-feeding Bucs beat the Saints, the Colts pooped on their fanbase by laying down and dying against the Jets instead of trying to go undefeated, and Brett Favre proved that cold air really does affect people with arthritis. Let’s see if any of this affects this weeks rankings:

1. No one deserves to be #1 this week. The Colts proved their as masculine as Lifetime airing the Tony awards, and the Saints are making me question whether that’s a birthmark on Drew Brees’s face, or the beginning stages of AIDS. The Vikings can’t leap either team considering their QB played like Rex Grossman for one half and Dan Marino another half. I award you all no points, and may God have mercy on your souls.

2. Indianapolis Colts- I hate having to rank this team at all in a league made up completely of men, because this tank job should come with a penalty and a congressional hearing. Colts fans should have burned down the stadium after their team threw away perfection like it was a Christmas card with no money in it. I hope Peyton Manning gets hurt on the first snap of the playoffs, and Jim Caldwell gets hate mail for the rest of his life.

3. San Diego Chargers- The Chargers haven’t lost since mid-October, and don’t plan on them losing to the Redskins even with the reserves in this week. Jumping the Saints was unthinkable a couple weeks ago, but this team is legit going into the playoffs firing on all cylinders. I still don’t recommend betting on any games the final week of the season if teams that are locked into the playoffs are playing in them though.

FTRsports Week 16 NFL Power Rankings

Week 15 was nothing short of magical for gambling with highs and lows that could rival a Lindsay Lohan bender. The Browns scored an unbelievable 41 points against the lowly Chiefs in a thriller. Josh Cribbs and Jerome Harrison stepped into the limelight for the day thanks to KC’s epically bad defense and special teams. San Diego proved it’s worth by beating the Bengals in So Cal in the game dedicated to Chris Henry who we’ll touch upon later. Let’s see how this week’s rankings shape up:

1. Indianapolis Colts- With the Saints fall from grace in down in the Bayou, Peyton Manning’s forehead has led the Colts to the top of the pile with 2 games remaining. The Colts have the Jets and Buffalo left on the menu, and you can bet they will keep their foot on the gas through the end to go undefeated. Don’t let the media fool you into betting against them.

2. New Orleans Saints- Believe it or not the Saints are now more dangerous than ever now that the pressure to go unblemished is off of their shoulders. I wouldn’t bet on Saints games these next two weeks, because they have nothing to play for, but you can bet the house on these guys in the playoffs. They’re the team to beat in the NFC, and probably the whole league.

3. San Diego Chargers- We shouldn’t be so shocked to see the Chargers plowing through December considering they play their best football every season around Christmas, but I was pretty surprised to see them beat the Bengals this week. If the Chargers defense can show up in the playoffs they may actually win a playoff game, but don’t expect to see any miracles from this team. They hate playing football in January.

Not Gonna Say I Told You So…..

Indianapolis Colts, Jacksonville Jaguars

Who are we kidding?

I TOLD YOU SO!

COLTS 35- JAGUARS 31

I’m no fan of the Colts, and believe me I want to see them lose sooner than later, but this bet was a lock from the beginning. The Jaguars played great, but there’s no way they’re a contender in the playoffs. They’re defense cannot lock down real quarterbacks. The Colts better patch the hole in their rush defense before playoff time, or someone is going to pound them into 2010.

I’m not telling you to save your winnings to bet on the Pats beating the Jags next week, because I don’t predict Patriots games anymore. But pat yourselves on the back if you took my advice tonight betting against the Jaguars.

[p.s. this bet was as predictable as a Jersey Shore fist pump on a Friday night]

Indianapolis Will Cover the Spread in Jacksonville

Indianapolis Colts, Jacksonville Jaguars, Jags Suck, nfl news, Thursday night football

All of my degenerate gambling friends have been asking me about the spread for Thursday Night’s Indianapolis-Jacksonville game. The Colts are -3 because Vegas thinks that Peyton Manning and Jim Caldwell will shut it down early having already clinched the AFC South along with home field advantage throughout the playoffs.

Don’t be a sucker. Indianapolis, no matter what they say during press conferences, desperately want to go undefeated this season as they continue to fight their way out of New England’s shadow in the AFC. With that in mind, please don’t forget that the Jacksonville Jaguars suck.

Here are the teams that Jacksonville has beaten this season:
