Tips for Tikay

[tikay]

Surely that NFL game can't possibly go ahead, how would they make it safe & accessible for spectators, even assuming they clear the pitch?

I read last night you can get $10 an hour and free tickets to the game if you can get to the Bills' stadium and shovel snow.  Sure I read somewhere this could be the biggest daily snowfall ever in some places and one of those might have been Buffalo. 

Wow, really?

I'd love to see how they get that snow cleared. I'd almost like to bet against it, in fact, but I'm too nitty.

Does the wheather come into play for tonights game Tighty? 

I quite liked the chiefs to cover the spread but had initially thought this looked like an unders on the total.  I was thinking something like 24 - 10

Its in Oakland

especially for tikay

forecast to be 50c and above in Oakland on the west coast


it of course is expected to go under because people don't expect Oakland to put up many points

Ooh, excellent.

We just need to see a really sexy snow plough now & my day will be complete.

you are such a snowplough tart

Upstate new york yesterday

As i am not around most of the day

Tonight's NFL

In theory this is a tough spot for the KC Chiefs

On the road at a divisional rival 4 days after a huge effort in beating the superbowl champions

However that divisional rival is the winless Raiders

the Chiefs are 7 point road favourites

Andy Reid has transitioned the 2014 Chiefs to a  run-dominated team.

KC are the No. 4 unit in rushing offense, No. 3 in yards per carry (4.75), and No. 7 in rushing attempts.

The Chiefs' run game has been dominant as a unit.

Since returning from his early-season high ankle sprain, Jamaal Charles has taken on four top-nine run defenses (NYJ, SEA, SF, BUF).

He's proceeded to kill them for 415 yards and four TDs on 70 carries (5.93 YPC).

Playing here on a short week, Oakland has allowed 335 yards and two touchdowns on 83 carries (4.04 YPC) to opposing running backs over their last three games.

You'll struggle to find a warmer favourite for first touchdown scorer all season than Jamaal Charles here, and the price should be around 3/1 not the 9/2 that is out there in places

this game has a 42.5-point over-under, the third lowest of Week 12.

Its a Tursday game, which can tend to lower scores (less time to game plan) but perhaps less so in divisional games where the teams know each other well

I would be strongly tempted by the over here though. A low quote, a consensus of a low scoring game gives the opportunity

last game these two played Alex Smith threw for 287 yards and five touchdowns on 17-of-20 passing. This is a quarterback who runs an extremely conservative game plan, rarely throwing downfield too far and Oakland are poor, and injury hit, in pass defense


anyway there are a couple of pointers

Worth Fred having a dabble on either or both? Go ahead if you think it's worth it.

Incidentally, I'll also be AWOL much of today, & from around 6pm until Midnight this evening. BIG day at work today.

Tighty, will both teams be wearing home jerseys in the snow? (Away teams wear white kits)

Just to add to the Charles bet - last time they played and Alex Smith threw 5 TDs...pretty sure four of them were to Mr Charles.

Oh, and we're shit against the run.

And the pass.

And at scoring points.

4 touchdowns I am getting excited 2 of them will do

I saw a pic on Mr Channing's Twitterati thingymibob of a guy that has opened the door of his house in Buffalo and made himself a shelf in the snow to put his beer on.

If anyone knows how to post that it 's a good pic and gives an idea of how badly they are affected.

12.40 Chepstow Kleitomachos  thought this was worth a small e/w bet, on a horse with a decent hurdle debut, that goes on the ground and may improve down in trip. Decent shape to race due to plenty of no-hopers according to betting. Would take the 6-1 with Sporting bet if poss or down to 9/2

ShutheFrontDoor now 20/1 general for the Gold Cup

Heard a few good judges talk him up for the race last week or so, the Lexus the next aim which will probably decide whether he goes or not

Is the Raiders game on UK Tv anywhere? Sky Sports or ?

I know I can find a stream if I have to but TV is better!

Thanks.
