Van Pelt’s pick: California +3

We have a running list of places where things get weird, and the honorary capital of Weirdsville, U.S.A. this weekend is Shreveport– wasn’t the Independence Bowl played in a blizzard once? What’s any of this involve taking Cal plus the points over Texas Tech? Not one thing. Which is what I learn about this game– other than the side we are backing– that’s Cal.SVP: 10-6 all-time when selecting California

Saturday’s NFL pick

Pittsburgh Steelers at Indianapolis

Colts(-1.5, 42.5)4:30 p.m. ET, Lucas Oil Stadium, Indianapolis

Van Pelt’s pick: Steelers +1.5 OK, NFL sides … Saturday tripleheader where it’s backup-palooza in the first two games. I’m backing Pittsburgh in Indianapolis … that’s [Mittch] Trubisky and [Gardner] Minshew. Someone will move to 8-6. I’m not sure if they’re excellent or not, but the winner might have a sufficient record to make the playoffs.SVP: 3-2 all-time when choosing the Steelers Sunday’s NFL chooses Now isn’t the time to quit on the Costs, even against the red-hot Cowboys.

Washington Commanders at Los Angeles Rams( -6.5, 50.5)4:05 p.m. ET, SoFi Arena, Inglewood, Calif.Van Pelt’s pick: Commanders +6.5 Not sure where Washington is on the “want-to” scale after a bye, and a training change appears impending. Rams, on the other hand, have been combating like mad guys. However coming off an OT loss, I think this is a close-ish game, and we are taking the Commanders plus the points in LA.SVP: 1-3 all-time when selecting the Commanders

Baltimore Ravens(-3, 42.5 )at Jacksonville Jaguars 8:20 p.m. ET, EverBank Arena, Jacksonville, Fla.Van Pelt’s choice: Jaguars +3 Mentioning the Rams-Ravens OT game last week, the Ravens eeked it out and are the 1-seed for the minute in the AFC. Jacksonville has dropped a couple in a row. I’m taking the home group here plus the points in what seems likely to be a back-and-forth and competitive game.SVP: 7-3 all-time when selecting the Jaguars

Dallas Cowboys at Buffalo Bills (-2.5
, 50.5) 4:25 p.m. ET, Highmark Stadium, Orchard Park, NY

Van Pelt’s pick: Expenses -2.5

Lastly, in what makes sure to be the greatest game of Sunday in regards to audience– gim me Buffalo at home against Dallas. There’s a lot going on here. Mainly, I can’t stop the Expenses. However likewise, the Cowboys have actually been a very different team away from home. Weather is not expected to be an element– Costs Mafia may be however. Let’s go Buffalo to get a win.SVP: 3-7 all-time when selecting the Costs

Five. 5-er. Old-fashioned. Tight, lean and focused effort.
