Gamblers Nightmare NFL Weekend
We are coming off a gamblers nightmare NFL weekend. Predicting outcomes of NFL games is hard. This past weekend was exceptionally difficult. Don’t believe me? Let us review!
How many of you predicted that the Saints would march into Dallas and blow out the Cowboys by 25 points? Not many. Alvin Kamara scored 4 touchdowns as the Cowboys 16 game home win streak came to an end.
Did you predict the Vikings would beat the 49ers? Maybe. The Vikings seem to have the 49ers number. Minnesota beat them last October too. The tricky part in predicting this game is the 49ers playing without CMC at running back. Anything could have happened but Jordan Mason had another 100 yard day so there was no excuse.
GAMBLERS NIGHTMARE NFL WEEKEND
How about the Raiders going into Baltimore and winning? We didn’t see that one coming, did we? And here is a public service announcement: Stay away from the Rams. They are too banged up to take seriously right now as evidenced by their 41-10 loss at Arizona.
In other NFL anomalies the Commanders scored 21 points without a single touchdown to beat the Giants 21-18. That is right! They kicked 7 field goals to win. And the lowly Patriots came within an overtime field goal of starting the season 2-0! Crazy stuff.
The gamblers nightmare NFL weekend continues tonight. Take a shot at predicting the Monday Night game with the Falcons and Eagles. Philly is favored by 5.5 and the total is 45.5. Plus, do not forget Falcons quarterback Kirk Cousins has a dreadful record in prime time under the lights. Or, do forget it. Because, really, who knows at this point?
For all the latest on all of the crazy storylines from the NFL tune in each weekday to Craig Shemon and Company from 2-6 on ESPN Southwest Florida.
NFL Beer Prices For The 2024-25 Season
Which NFL Stadium has the cheapest beer? It’s time to analyze the NFL beer prices for the upcoming season, along with some commentary and a little bit of “who do they think they are?” Along with win/loss records, the price differences also don’t appear to be regional. We have 3 NFL teams here in Florida and one is near the pricing bottom and the other at the top.
A special note to our friends at Fox5 in Washington, DC – I won’t be calling out your precious Washington Commanders this year, either. Someone at management got the note after the 2022 version of this article. Or better yet, they got new management. I personally am taking credit for your beer prices coming down, although I want no part of your 4-13 record from last year. **And a new report from the stadium may contradict earlier findings. Something Shady going on.
In terms of overall expenses, with one of the highest general ticket prices in the league, Cardrates states “the San Francisco 49ers offer the most expensive gameday experience. A ticket, two beers, a hot dog, and parking costs fans $239.66 at Levi’s Stadium.”
The Philadelphia Eagles offer the next most expensive gameday experience at $225.01. Eagles’ general tickets cost around $139, but the beer, hot dog, and parking price at Lincoln Financial Field land them in the second spot for the most expensive game day experience. More on the Eagles in a bit.
NFL Beer Prices
If you want to do some year over year comparison on NFL beer prices, here’s last year’s data. It showed that the Rams and Chargers (who shared a stadium) were tops on the list with the most expensive beer in the NFL. Checking the numbers, it looks like they found a way to bring prices down (a little) while some others came up.
It’s not gonna happen, but I’d love to see pricing based on a floating scale, based on team performance. So, judging this after watching the Patriots preseason game on Peacock last Sunday night, beers at the New England games should be a dollar. You guys got so used to winning every year and now this? Just brutal. So let’s get on with it, starting with the cheapest NFL beer prices which always begins in Atlanta…
Please hmu if any of these prices change, the preseason just ended the real season hasn’t started yet.
