Las Vegas - Watts UP! If there's one player that can wreck a game plan, it's T.J. Watt. The baby Watt makes the most cash of all the brothers, and he is WORTH it. In games that he has played for the Steelers, they're 6-2. Without Watt, Pittsburgh is 0-3-1. OUCH! And T.J. gets to face a Minnesota team WITHOUT superstar WR Adam Thielen. Now we're hearing that superstar RB Dalvin Cook is listed as probable, but one good hit on that shoulder and he's gonzo.

Reasons to come, but we're gonna BANG this game with BOTH HANDS before the line drops. Like RIGHT NOW!!!

New England has allowed 316.7 total yards per game, which is 4th best on the pecking list, but is NUMBER ONE in points allowed, holding teams to 15.8 points per. So, maybe we look Under.

The three point line move is due to New York QB Daniel Jones who is out. The NYG will use backup Mike Glennon. If you're not familiar with the career backup guy, Glennon was OH & FIVE last year with the Jaguars, and has a GORGEOUS overall record of 6-21 in stops at Tampa, Chicago, Arizona, Oakland and Jax.
