Coach Talk

Nicholson’s Joker
This sport is all about creating mismatches. Thanks to a thrilling outing by Deshaun Watson, we nearly quadrupled casinodave.com at the quarterback position this past week (51.74 points to 13.44). Watson breezed through the Falcons defense to the tune of 426 yards and five passing touchdowns.

Wait, our starting QB tossed three interceptions and just one touchdown? We might need to play Monday-morning quarterback here: Was Lamar Jackson actually that out-of-sync with his receivers, or were the Steelers just that strong defending the pass? What do you think? Do we continue to roll with him as the starting QB of casinodave.com?
