    I'm on Phi ML + over 51.

    Various shits and giggles props. At least DK offers coinflip and who wins the flip at +100.

    One I'm shocked that I now cant lose is I took hurts +165 for more td passes than Connor McD points today. First 0 burger for Connor for like 15 games.

    If you didn’t just smash Eagles -4.5 after Mahomes ankle please excuse yourself from the thread

    In fact, -7.5 is prolly a consolation prize.

    Over

    Grabbed -6.5 Eagles and now I’m in a serious commitment.

    Jumped to -7.0

    Not sure what the dynamic is at work is here but I’ll take 3.5 of value on a flip

    Not a profitable Super Bowl first one in quite a few years.

    Swept all the defensive props
    Swept all the sack under (zero in game, didn't see that coming)
    Swept all the novelty props except first song at halftime (someone getting phone call)

    Just had to much invested in 1H unders. Sucks to win your first 12 bets and still lose.

    Oh well - only a few months until Heisman and college win totals are back out

    Just a little personal story about the refs. My father was a Linesmanbut because of a bad back & lack of political skill, Ivy League was about as far as he went. His friend from High School was a Head Referee in D-1 college. He made it to the NFL as a back judge (pass interference/defensive holding) in his 50s. Won’t mention his name but he was terrific and was always highly graded. I think he did 2 Super Bowls. I don’t know the exact numbers but I think his salary may have more than doubled shortly after he took the gig.

    My Dad’s friend was a very successful lawyer. When he had a Sunday game he had to fly in Saturday. They would have a couple hour meeting and that’s about it. He then flew back home after the game Sunday. So he did very well for himself. It’s a very very cushy job. He retired a few years ago so I don’t know what changes have happened since. But the NFL needs to change soemthing here.

    BTW Linesman is on the line of scrimmage on the sidelines on the side with the chains. Line Jusge is on the other side with a fake set of chains that just mirror the other side.

    Its a great gig if you can get it. All refs gave a very successful “real” job as to try to prevent bribery.

    Its long past needing a fill time professional ref crew. Its a lof of money to bring on board but you are a 50B company now.

    I was a college ref but did mostly high school. You have no idea the amount of politics in this world.

    The other line judge oposite the head linesman is the “side judge”

    PGA - Feels like a JT week. He will prob be paired with Tiger. Had a strong Sunday hopefully he can carry momentum. 16-1.

    2nd Pick Finau 18-1

    Sleeper Cam Young 30-1. Played poorly last week struggled at cut line after bed shit in Saudi Intl. But good price and played very well here last year.

    DP Tour - Rozner 25-1. Price play. DP tour events can be a stampede. 25-1. Don’t like him at 22-1 or lower.

    Champions - Love Padraig Harrington. 5-1

    With the Genesis I am consciously chucking out Rahm/Scottie/Rory. Rahm been playing high stress golf for a while. Weekend was a grind. Weekend was also high stress for Scottie who was all over the place with the driver. Rory seems to have some alignment issues. So I’m hoping someone in the second or third tier will take this. Been a long stretch of golf for the top three the last few weeks. Hoping they hit a bit of a wall and open things up for JT , Finau etc.

    They could all complete the trifecta and make me look super dumb. But there’s going to be a designated event where someone other than them raise the trophy. Hopefully it’s this week.

    Just cant get behind JT at the moment. But ill admit to having looked at him for a moment. Finau is the first guy off my list.

    Going with three this week. Hovland, Homa…… and yes, this might be Cam Young's much awaited coming out party,

    Had Homa Circled for two weeks specifically on the calendar. He's a monster on a california track. His performace and specifically his ability to close have put him out to be a top player in the world type. I think the +2500 on offer is robbery even with the elites playing. The other week, which i mentioned in here a few weeks back, is the US Open which is being played in LA. He was on offer as high as +5000 a few weeks back and has been cut back as low as +2500, similar to this week. I mention because if he finishes top 5 this week he will be solidly cut back to a co favorite. Id buy both this week.

    Not a Hovland guy. Cant have a poor short game and make my beloved list. That said you cant deny the history here.

    Think this could very well be Young's coming out party. Im sure we wont be the only ones. He's over due and recent/course form says he will be there. If you are going go play Young I wouldnt wait / he will be very highly touted this week.

    **special mention**

    Im was top 6 this week. He's literally “right there” every week. He has good form in the Florida/Agusta loop. Id buy any masters longer than +3200 now. This will be the last stop for the next few weeks where he wont be near the top of my weekly shopping list. If he plays the Honda next week he will me by overwhelming favorite unless Rham or Rory unexpectedly shows up (they wont).


    ** mention 2, electric boogaloo **

    In agreement about the top top guys this week. Seems like a bit of a falloff from phoenix to Genesis year in year out. They still on the leaderboard but finish top 20 not top 10. Think this “opens up” for a second tier player thus me going with players in top historical and recent form this week.
