I’ll take the Rogers’ Rate to keep on cookin even though Jake from State Farm says there “is no Rogers Rate.” ARodg doesn’t believe him and with his superb play will expect that rate ASAP.

Eagles by 4

Despite their 2-7 record, the Giants have shown improvement and I like for them to pull off the upset at the Meadowlands.

Bucs 28, Panthers 27

Bucs by 6

Like TB!2 and the Bucs to just get by on the road after a dismantling by the Saints a week ago on Sunday Night Football. Still a very solid team despite the disaster last Sunday. But the Panthers take’em to the wire.

Vegas by 4

Like Jon Gruden and his team to keep playing at a pretty high level and move to 6-3 and hang close to the 8-1 Chiefs, who are off this week.

Fins by 1 1/2

Like Tua and the Dolphins to move to 6-3 after Tua’s spectacular performance in the Fins victory last Sunday at Zona. They stay at least a game and a half back of the 7-2 Bills in the AFC East.

Bills 28, Cardinals 24

Saints by 9 1/2

My man Walter thinks his Saints are due a letdown after last week’s spectacular performance against the Bucs, and he knows the Saints team well, but I like the Drew and company to play well enough against an injury depleted 49ers team.

Big Ben and the Steelers move to 9-0, the only undefeated team in the National Football League.

Rams by 1 1/2

Seahawks have the worst scoring defense in the NFL. That’s pretty amazing for a team that has prided itself on defense. Russell Wilson will play well, as he always does, but I like the Rams to prevail.

The Vikings have won 2 in a row and the Bears have lost 3 in a row. Both trends continue.

I did predict a college game today on my College Football Blog.

I have Cal 34, UCLA 30, with Cal as a 2 1/2 point favorite.

Cal was supposed to play Zona State yesterday and UCLA was supposed to play Utah, but due to COVID cases at Zona State and Utah, Cal and UCLA decided to play today.

The game kicks off at 11 AM CT on Fox Sports 1.

The Masters

At the Masters, what looked to be a potential blowout has turned into a very interesting Sunday at Augusta National. Dustin, who came in with a 4 shot lead at -16, has bogeyed 4 and 5, and now only holds a 1 shot lead over Sungjae Im, from South Korea, who is -14, and Cameron Smith, from Australia, who is -13. So, now it’s going to be a thrilling Sunday at the Masters. Dustin just birdied 6 to go to -16 for a 3 shot lead. Im bogeyed 6. Smith just birdied 7 to go to -14, 2 back of Johnson.
