There are a couple of double-digit dogs this week, which has been profitable all season, but both feature backups making their first starts of the season, so I’m staying away from the Los Angeles Rams and Houston Texan...14956Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0000https://wolvesdaily.com/news-rumors/dave-sinykin/the-playoffs-begin-in-philly-in-november/Let’s start with the obvious: The Green Bay Packers look nothing like a playoff team. They've lost six of their last seven games. Statistically, they have a 3 to 8% chance to play in the postseason, depending on where you look, and they would likely need to run the table to have a chance.   And y...14953Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0000https://wolvesdaily.com/news-rumors/dave-sinykin/the-under-dogs-are-barking-week-11-edition/Okay, I was long overdue for a losing week and last week was brutal, but if the Jags make just one of the two field goals they missed, they would’ve covered against the Chiefs, and my week wouldn’t have looked so bad.   We move on to Week 11, and I love this week’s litter of dogs. I had to whittl...14901Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0000https://wolvesdaily.com/news-rumors/dave-sinykin/can-the-packers-deliver-an-encore/Question of the day: Can the Pack deliver an encore performance and stack a couple of wins together against quality opponents?   Their 4-6 record has left them basically zero margin for error if they want to claw their way back into playoff contention; last week’s stirring OT win over the Dallas...14872Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0000https://wolvesdaily.com/news-rumors/dave-sinykin/the-under-dogs-are-barking-week-10-edition/After a successful, if somewhat unsatisfying, week where I went 1-0-2, it’s on to Week 10, and I think this is the trickiest batch of dogs of the season. But I’ve yet to taste a losing week, and I don’t plan on starting now. And I’m guaranteed there will be no ties this week. Browns +3.5 at Miam...14838Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0000https://wolvesdaily.com/news-rumors/dave-sinykin/the-under-dogs-are-barking-week-9-edition/Week 9 is here, the underdogs just keep cashing, and this week provides another tantalizing group of dogs to choose from. I’ve yet to taste a losing week this season, so let’s see if I can keep it going.   Here are this week’s picks of the litter: Bears +4 ½ vs. Dolphins The Chicago Bears are...14774Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0000https://wolvesdaily.com/news-rumors/dave-sinykin/no-need-to-get-uptight-everythings-alright/This is where we are: The Green Packers’ season is on the line on Sunday. On the first weekend in November. In Detroit.   This is where we are.   How did we get here? We all know; we’ve watched this team play the last four weeks. The reality is this: If the Packers are to entertain any notion of...14764Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0000https://wolvesdaily.com/news-rumors/dave-sinykin/packers-show-a-pulse-but-is-it-worth-anything/They showed some fight. They showed some attitude. They didn’t back down. These were all positive developments for a Green Bay Packers team that had often looked soft, disinterested, and a team unwilling to punch back over the past few weeks.   But that will only take you so far against a team li...14721Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0000https://wolvesdaily.com/news-rumors/dave-sinykin/the-under-dogs-are-barking-week-8-edition/It’s Halloween weekend, and I’m hoping for more treats from this week’s slate of underdogs. After another 2-1 week, I’m hitting at a 70% clip through seven weeks, which is probably unsustainable, but I do like this week’s set of dogs. I wish I had the stones to make the Packers one of my three pic...14715Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0000https://wolvesdaily.com/news-rumors/dave-sinykin/somehow-some-way-the-pack-will-throw-a-scare-into-the-bills/The Green Bay Packers have won 13 straight prime-time games in the regular season. That’s an impressive stat. They ain’t getting to 14. But they may keep things interesting.   A floundering Packers team, losers of three straight, have drawn the shortest straw you can draw in 2022: a prime-time ga...14712Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0000https://wolvesdaily.com/news-rumors/dave-sinykin/explaining-the-22-green-bay-packers-to-fans-under-40/A 3-4 start isn’t what any of us anticipated for the Green Bay Packers. This was supposed to be a Super Bowl contender with a back-to-back MVP at the helm. Mental mistakes, bad coaching, and underwhelming performances have instilled an unfamiliar level of doubt and frustration in the Green and Gol...14690Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0000https://wolvesdaily.com/news-rumors/dave-sinykin/turn-out-the-lights-in-titletown/I couldn’t help but hear the late great Dandy Don Meredith’s voice in my head as time ticked away on another Green Bay Packers loss and perhaps the Packers season: “Turn out the lights, the party’s over.”   But what party are we talking about? The 2022 season? The Aaron Rodgers era? We don’t know...14664Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0000https://wolvesdaily.com/news-rumors/dave-sinykin/the-under-dogs-are-barking-week-7-edition/Hard to believe it’s already Week 7, and it’s just as difficult to believe that I have yet to have a losing week, 12-5-1 for the season. Underdogs have hit at a historic rate this season, and this week features a lot of significant dogs, with zero games matching teams with winning records. Texan...14660Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0000https://wolvesdaily.com/news-rumors/dave-sinykin/the-first-real-crisis-of-the-matt-lafleur-era/Well, at least we’ve got those pesky New York teams behind us now.   Been watching the Pack for a whole lot of years. Have seen a lot more good than bad over the last three decades or so, primarily always assured that we’d see elite quarterback play and an offensive line that was the envy of the...14603Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0000https://wolvesdaily.com/news-rumors/dave-sinykin/the-under-dogs-are-barking-week-6-edition/With another winning week under our belt, we move on to Week 6, a slate that features a few big dogs and a bunch of tantalizing short dogs. Since my rule for this blog is to only consider underdogs of at least three points, I had to cross off the Seattle Seahawks, New Orleans Saints, and Jacksonvi...14592Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0000https://wolvesdaily.com/news-rumors/dave-sinykin/the-pack-needs-a-throwback-performance-against-the-jets/Since the Packers haven’t looked much like the Packers this season, it’s fitting they’ll rock their ‘50s throwbacks on Sunday (green on green with gold numbers and a plain gold helmet). And if they are to take advantage of their last home game until the Dallas Cowboys visit on Nov. 13th, they’ll n...14590Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0000
