Merry Christmas The Hedgie took a break to the North Pole. There's been work to do ....
Today Features 2 NFL games and a College Bowl Game today and the Hedgie will be involved in all three...
2:30pm CAMELLIA BOWL : Georgia State vs Ball State
This game is in Montgomery Alabama which is an easy trip for the Georgia State faithful. Georgia State has a good run game and finished the season strong while Ball State fizzled down the the stretch. All signs point to a motivated Georgia State team getting the win here
Georgia State -5.5. 1 star
4:30pm Browns @ Packers
Temps will be cold which will have many bettors taking the under here (46.5) . The Packers have been on a roll and have secured a playoff spot. There's no reason to think that will stop BUT the Browns come in desperate . Baker Mayfield is off the covid list and will get the start however maybe more importantly their defensive leader Myles Garrett is hobbled with a groin injury and most likely will not play. The Browns kicker Chase McLaughlin is also a scratch with Covid so the Browns will rely on the practice squad kicker Chris Naggar . All this feels like too much to overcome for the Browns. With Jarvis Landry and Baker back they will fight to the end and put up some points . But just like last week the Packers will prevail.
TEASER : Packers - 1 and OVER 40.5 1 star
8:15pm Colts @ Cards
At first glance the Hedgie could not wait to get a bet down on the surging Colts as an underdog. The Cards have been struggling and lost 2 in a row and the Colts strength is the O LINE which is always a good factor to consider when betting a road team. HOWEVER , 3 of the Colts starters will now be OUT . This changes everything as the blitz happy Cards will now put the pressure on QB Carson Wentz. Wentz is serviceable when the OLINE is healthy and star Taylor is doing his work. But when the game is left in Wentz' hands he makes too many mistakes. The Cards are also not as bad as they have appeared lately. QB Murray has been struggling and still recovering from an earlier ankle injury. But today is the day to BUY LOW on the Cards. The look ahead line a few weeks back was Cards -5 . Don't let the recency bias trick you . Big effort from the home team today
CARDINALS -1.5 3 stars

Hedgie's Weekend Card
Thursday, November 25, 2021
Happy Thanksgiving
Two Turkeys start in the early game at 12:30. Hedgie actually thinks Dalton is ok and the Bears Oline will create some holes form RB Montgomery. The Lions get Goff as starter and it's all around a bad team. Bears HC Nagy may be coaching his last game for the Bears if they lose. The Bears may still have a little hope for their season as well.
BEARS -.2.5 1 Star
TEASER : Cowboys -1 & Bears +3.5 - 1 Star Raiders have lost 3 straight games a nd their offense is really struggling with Gruden . Cowboys bounce back after loss to Chiefs
Saints +6.5 1 star - Thanksgiving night on Bourbon street will be rocking. Saints have lost 3 in a row and need this game to salvage any part of their season
Miss State -2. 1 star
