2017 Week 16 Score Report, where it IS all about Vegas, it seems...

... or at least one story, about the Christmas night Monday nighter.

Vegas installed Philadelphia as a 10-point favorite last night over Oakland, and got a Cliffhanger when Philly scored a late field goal with 22 seconds left to take the lead and win the game.

Then, on the last play, Oakland fumbles the ball and Philly scoops and scores for a nine-point lead.

They go for TWO for some reason...  *points above*

And a KNEEL DOWN!!!!  So Philly fails to cover the ten, and the reaction was not kind...

So here's the Week 16 Score Report, and no idea why that just posted...
  • Well, the score report might as well have disappeared, because if that wasn't the lowest scoring week of NFL play since I started doing it, it's in the Top 3.  Only 37.75 points per game for the week -- and that puts the 15 week average at only 43.72
  • Home teams were 12-4.  All four of the home losers were out of the playoffs.  132-103 for the year.
  • Over was 3-13.  107-125-8 for the year.
  • 8-7-1 against the spread, 13-3 straight up.  124-107-8 ATS, 170-69 SU for the year.
  • Team with more penalties was 5-10, 95-127 for the year.
  • SEVEN non-competitive games this week.  82 of them for the year.
  • Five more games were within eight points at some point in the fourth quarter, but didn't finish there.
  • That meant only FOUR games finished within eight points.  Gee, you think some of these teams have given up by now???
  • Three Cliffhangers and Two Last Chance Misses.
  • And now only NINE relevant games Week 17 (the Pittsburgh win made the Jacksonville game irrelevant, and the Philadelphia win made their game irrelevant and the Viking game barely so!).
