Game Of Jones: Over/Under 55 Homers Combined For Sandoval-Ramirez
BOSTON (CBS) - It was an Over/Under Tuesday night on The Adam Jones Show's "Game of Jones."
In this latest edition, Adam Jones gives his take on the following topics:
- Over/Under home runs for Pablo Sandoval and Hanley Ramirez: 55 home runs
"I'm way under that number. I'm thinking 25 for Hanley and 20 for Sandoval seems reasonable," said Jones, "and I don't know if either will get to that threshold."
- Over/Under touchdown passes by Aaron Rodgers Sunday vs. Patriots: 2.5 touchdowns
"As good as Rodgers has been, I have to go under. The Patriots secondary has been exception," said Jones. "The way the Patriots are playing defense I'll take the under. I know how good [the Packers] have been at home, but I'm taking the Patriots defense. I think the Pats will win the game, but if Rodgers is throwing three touchdowns I don't know if they win the game."
-Over/Under carries for Jonas Gray: 5 carries
"I'll take the over. I don't know if he gets more than [LeGarrette] Blount, but I think he'll get more than five," said Jones. "I do think the Patriots have to run this week; the Packers have been a bad run defense, ranked 30th in the league allowing 4.5 yards per carry. I think [the Patriots] will have to run it, so they'll need Jonas Gray."
- Over/Under total goals for Milan Lucic: 20 goals
"Not to make a million excuses for him, but Milan Lucic misses David Krejci more than anyone else," said Jones. "When Krejci gets back, I think [Lucic] will fire on all cylinders... In a full season he should get somewhere around 20 goals. I don't think he'll go much over that number, but I will take the over, assuming Krejci comes back and is healthy -- which I do think will happen."
- Over/Under hours you will spend in front of the TV on Thursday: 10.5 TV hours
"That's it? I'm telling you, I don't move off my couch," said Jones. "I might get up to stir some mashed potatoes, pretend to be helpful... Blow that number out of the water."
