  • It’s about time we lock in for the NFL Week 17 slate on December 29th, 2024
  • The best and only way I know how to properly get in on the action is by betting NFL player props
  • Getting bets in on Friday is my favorite strategy, and it’s no different for this week

When I woke up this morning, I said to myself, “You need to lock in.” That’s all it took. From that moment on, I’ve been as locked in as I could possibly be. Maybe more locked in than anyone has ever been. Who really even knows how to measure something like that? I sure as hell don’t. But one thing I do know is that we’ve been trading units with the books for too long.

It’s time we take over, and that’s what we’re doing this week. We’re going right for the throat with the Los Angeles Chargers/New England Patriots game on Saturday. Then, we’ll rest up, get a good night’s sleep and go in on the Indianapolis Colts/New York Giants matchup on Sunday. I don’t want to jinx it, but I think this could easily be the greatest weekend of our lives. We deserve this.

Antonio Gibson Goes Off On Saturday

All roads lead to Antonio Gibson this Saturday. We’ve finally reached that point of the season, and I, for one, couldn’t be happier about it. He’s been in my personal Circle of Trust for years now.

I’m just surprised it took everyone else to finally start realizing that this guy is the truth. Numbers don’t lie.

Here’s the deal, people: Rhamondre Stevenson is a fumble machine. He had a good run of nine weeks where he didn’t lose a single fumble. We have to give him credit for that. But last week, he put another ball on the ground, which means he could be in trouble. They told him not to do that, and he did it anyway.

What I think happens is our guy, Antonio Gibson, gets a little love this week. He’s been used sparingly all season long, and he’s still produced. We’re talking three of his last four games have ended with him going for 30+ rushing yards. The only time he didn’t hit that mark was last week against the Buffalo Bills. Those guys are number one in the NFL in terms of opponent yards per attempt. He was never getting 30+ against them.

This week, the Patriots are hosting the Los Angeles Chargers, which is beautiful. It would be the perfect time for the Patriots’ Coaching Staff to teach Rhamondre a little lesson about fumbling and give Antonio 10+ carries. On the season, only five teams are worse than Los Angeles in terms of opponent yards per attempt. Translation: Antonio Gibson is going way over 30 rushing yards Saturday. Feels right.

  • The Pick: Antonio Gibson 30+ Rushing Yards (+106) – Fanatics

Anthony Richardson Can Sling It

There are real people out there who still don’t think Anthony Richardson is any good. I know, it’s crazy. But go on Twitter and search for his name. You’ll see for yourself exactly what I’m talking about.

There are even haters saying that Richardson isn’t practicing, so he won’t play this week, but us real ones know that’s not the case.

Here’s the rub. Anthony Richardson is playing on Sunday. I heard it might rain, but I don’t think it will. Even if it does, Anthony Richardson’s completion number is way off. We’re talking “somebody should get fired” off. It’s bad.

For starters, we just saw him complete 17 passes the week before last. He’s got it in him. He just needs the right opponent in the right situation. That opponent is highly likely to be the New York Giants.

Just last week, we saw first-timer, Michael Penix, complete 18 passes against these Giants. What’s even better is, those completions came in a 34-7 beating. It was a horrible game script and Penix still got loose. I’m expecting the same type of thing this week with a ton of dink and dunk opportunities. When that happens, Richardson could top 20+ completions. We only need 15. Feels easy.

  • The Pick: Anthony Richardson Over 14.5 Passing Completions (+110) – Fanatics
  • 2024 SBD Friday Release Results – 12-18 (-0.50 Units)
