Pepper McSausage Picks

A pick a day until my mom comes back to life.

I had a f***** up dream last night where this worked, it finally worked. I was so proud of my Keldon Johnson play yesterday… and that pride couldn’t help but seep into my subconscious where it was then weaponized against me in my dream state. I woke up so excited and so hopeful cuz my mom came back! The process had worked! She was right there in my dreams, a joyful reunion, and I couldn’t wait for the next day to tell y’all all about it here. Instead I woke up to realize it was all a false reality and my mom is still dead. Heartbreaking… and just like that I’m bludgeoned upside the head with the feelings of grief all over again. Whatever dude, can’t stray from the objective now. Gotta keep getting shots up.

Today’s Pick: EMEKA EGBUKA 1+ TOUCHDOWN (+170)

Dude hasn’t scored a touchdown in over a month and only one in the last 8 games (he also dropped a touchdown last week, womp womp). Well, my friend, the cavalry has arrived! The Bucs’ weapons are now fully healthy, something Egbuka (and perhaps to a greater extent, Baker Mayfield) took full advantage of early in the season when he started on a TD tear! It might be too early in his career for Egbuka to be a true #1 option regardless of what’s around him, but when the tide starts lifting boats, Egbuka’s boat seems to lift the highest. Especially when he scored 2 touchdowns on the Falcons week 1. Not to mention, 76% of the Falcons touchdown passes allowed have gone to wideouts (100% in the last month, since the Falcons playoff chances started cratering).

Good luck and I’ll see y’all on the other side!

Pick record: 21-21 (thank you Keldon!)
