UNCLE IRA

Philadelphia -4.5
at Washington

Good luck trying to stop Philly’s potent ground game, especially in inclement weather.

Miami
at Tennessee -3

The Dolphins have enough defense to stymie the Titans and just enough offense to pull out a squeaker.

L.A. Rams -5.5
at Baltimore

JOE

Arizona
at Dallas -6

The Cardinals are choking like a dog on its last days. Meanwhile, the Cowboys are getting warmed up. Heard behind the scenes: Kliff Kingsbury, in an effort to be proactive in case he is fired, told Jerry Jones if he hires him as an assistant, he promises to bring Johnny Football with him. 

Atlanta
at Buffalo -14.5

The Bills are getting hot at the right time and the Dixie Chicks’ heads are all in the Dominican. Bags are packed. Only need to buy sunscreen and extra protection devices.  

Carolina
at New Orleans -6.5

The Stinking Panthers are sinking fast and it appears Stinking Panthers owner David Tepper is “embarrassed” and seething about how his team has fallen apart. Losing by a touchdown to the slimy Saints and their two-bit backup quarterbacks could seal the deal for the Matt Rhule Administration in Charlotte.    

Last week: Ira 2-1; Joe 0-3.

Season Record: Ira 25-23; Joe 22-26.
