Bills vs Colts Wild Card Round Preview

      The Bills and the Colts will kick off the 2020-2021 NFL Playoffs in Buffalo at 1pm EST. The Bills are coming in hot on a 6 game winning streak with wins over the Steelers, Patriots, and Dolphins on that run. Josh Allen is playing out of his mind in 2020 with 45 total TD’s, 5th in passing yards with 4,544, and 3rd in league QBR with 81.7. With absolutely outstanding QB play from the Buffalo quarterback his play also made us see some of the full potential of Stefon Diggs. The Bills traded for former Vikings receiver in the 2020 offseason and you don’t need know what they traded away for you to know he was worth it. Diggs has boosted the Bills receiving core and passing game. The Colts however are a tough out. They definitely are not a 7th seed you want to see. The Colts game plan is clear its protect Philip Rivers, run the ball, and use that great defense to stop Allen or contain him by keeping the opposing offense on the sideline. Which is what they’ll have to do against the 2nd overall offense in points and yards in the Buffalo Bills. The Colts do take up the run tough and protect the QB style. They do it well with being 3rd in sack percentage on their QB in 2020. They protect Rivers by giving him time behind Quinton Nelson and that great line which he needs in his older age. The Colts will need to take advantage of their chances since they will be limited with the Bills. The Bills are 8th on defense on 3rd down and the Colts are 22nd as an on offense on 3rd down. The Colts will need to go against the stats to win this game. Indy will run the ball a lot with Jonathan Taylor and Nyheim Hines. The Bills know the Colts game plan well the grandma at her Indiana home knows the Colts game plan. It’s what they’ve done to win games and it’s the best plan to beat a Super Bowl favorite Bills. The Bills will look to do what they do best give MVP candidate Josh Allen the ball and let that defense get in the opposing QBs face. If they can oppose their game plan the Bills will roll over the Colts. Don’t expect Buffalo to run much with Devin Singletary as they are second in passing offense but 20th in rushing. For the first playoff game in Buffalo since the 90s this one could be fun for Bills mafia.

The Current State of the UFC Heavyweight Division

  The Current State of the UFC Heavyweight Division  We are about a week since UFC 260 when Francis Ngannou shook up the world. At UFC 260 Francis Ngannou showed off some new ability and his generational power to take home the title world baddest man and the UFC Heavyweight Championship away from Stipe Miocic. The headliner at UFC 260 was the greatest UFC Heavyweight of all time Stipe Miocic defending his title for a second time against The Predator Francis Ngannou. Miocic dominated the first fight with constant takedown pursuit against the non existing takedown defense of Ngannou. Some thought the same would happen, others believed Ngannou power was going to pull through on this occasion. No one really knew if Ngannou improved his cardio and grappling since him and the champ last met. Ngannou got another title shot by knocking out all his opponents in less than a minute except for Derrick Lewis. Which was a snooze fest that Lewis pulled out. Nonetheless Ngannou didn’t have to...

Were You Entertained? By Maybe The Greatest Game Ever

Were You Entertained? By Maybe The Greatest Game Ever How mad are the fans in Mexico City that LA got their game due to poor field conditions? What hell of game the 9-1 Chiefs and 9-1 Rams put on for us last night. The game lived up to all expectations, and more. MVP candidate Todd Gurley was hurt early in the game as he left the game around the 8 minute mark in the 4th, and didn’t get another snap until 7 minutes of game time after that. He had only 12 touches for 55 yards. Luckily his counterpart Kareem Hunt didn’t have a great game either, as he ran for 70 yards in 14 touches. Remember not great game to these Pro Bowlers standers. A task for the Rams to win was to win the turnover battle which they did, but came from a big help from young starting quarterback Jared Goff. Goff through no interceptions had 413 yards throwing, a 117 QB rating, a running touchdown, and 4 touchdown passes. The biggest one came at the end of the game with about 4 minutes left to go that gave LA a 54-...

Goat Talk NBA Bets June 1st, 2021

  Goat Talk NBA Bets June 1st, 2021  All bets through FanDuel  Celtics vs Nets  Nets spread 12.5  Over 233 Kyrie Irving 30+ PTS with win +260  Kyrie Irving top scorer +600  Yes no shocker here but the Nets will take Game 5 and avoid going back to Boston. Somewhere they really don’t want to play after Irving’s bottle incident with the fan. Irving stepped on the leprechaun logo and will step on the Celtics 2021 season. Irving will pop tonight against his former team. Irving is petty. Probably the most in the league. Irving will look to have a superstar night against the Celtics. Bet his friends will let him. Irving will score lots of points in the close out game against the Celtics. Yes -12.5 points seems to be a lot of points to cover but Brooklyn is the pettiest team in basketball they will look to make a statement behind that juggernaut offense. The Celtics stole game 3 and don't expect something of that magnitude to happen again. Kemba Walker is doub...
