    I’m prolly gonna be profitable playing trash NFL today

    I’m seriously considering WFT tonight +15.5 & Saints +9 tomorrow

    Now the Saints have no quarterback. They called Philip Rivers who said he would unretire for the right opportunity. The Saints didn’t qualify as an “opportunity”. Lulz. Kamala might take some snaps.

    If I can make money at the absolute nadir of the NFL all members of this thread will have to confer all the rights, privileges, and responsibilities appertaining to Grandmaster of Stupidity Wagering. That would be a worthy achievement

    Kamara

    I do not know whether the Saints called Kamala or not.


    “We interrupt the Pittsburgh Chiefs game to present a more competitive contest. Denver Las Vegas. “

    I have NEVER heard those exact words before. This is just the best Christmas ever

    Foles fumbles it on a sack and Bears line recovers. Bears just keep getting break after break after break. Seems like destiny.

    Edit: Yep. Bears score TD on a 3rd and 14 jump ball.

    I have Seattle -.5, so if they hold on the 2 point conversion I still win. And yep, you guessed it. Bears convert on a miraculous 1 handed catch.

    Horrible horrible horrible. I am starting to feel physically sick.

    So for me to lose this bet Seattle has to get in FG range 2 times in 4th and get 0 points out of it. Then Bears have to score a TD AND get a 2 point conversion. And they do it.

    Jimmy Grahm with the jump ball FTW. Love it

    Hope everyone had a great Christmas and Haunakuh and all that jazz.

    Haven't pahticipated in this thread in a minute but I'd like some of my guys like San to give their opinion on the NFL and NBA for tonight. Finally having a wormhole week, and have 2 active teasers needing only Dallas -2.5. Cowboys is up to 10 and even some 10.5 so most likely taking some 'Skins and go for the middle.

    My only savior. I feel decent about my Cavs -7.5 bet up 45 in 4th against a Raps team where I’ve only heard of 2 guys on the entire team. Covid basketball is much better than Covid football.

    I looked at the box score at halftime and had to jump on some Cavs. The Cavs were missing bodies but Raps had nobody.

    So I have a Miami U9.5 season win bet and a Saints O8.5 season win bet; so this game coming up is going to be a massive swing. And of course I am getting completely fucked by Covid, like 10 other bets I have made in the last week.

    I really am debating whether I should just hedge Miami -165 on the money line. But Miami could win this week and I could still win both these bets, so tough to tell what to do.

    Last year, from the start of the regular season through the Super Bowl, there were 262 player positives.

    There already have been more than 400 player positives in the month of December alone.

    I thought about this same play and then decided I’d take a day off. That bodes well for you.

    Well, my guess is a lot of checkdowns on passing plays. What worries me is if they have Book run the Taysom playbook, basically. I know he is mobile. Don't want to see him running much....for both of our bets.

    I’m thinking of ML play against my Buckeyes in the Rose with all the opt outs and I can’t imagine them giving a fuck. Add in Utah is really good

    For football (college or NFL) why even bother trying to handicap the games a week ahead of time? We don't know who is playing, or even if the game is going to happen. I agree with you Utah is good on paper, but I'll check the day of the game and see who is playing and what the line is and go from there.

    Disclaimer: A lot of this post is sour grapes because I keep getting burned on Covid scratches when I do make plays ahead of time. If Covid was working in my favor, I probably wouldn't mind as much.

    Damn. I need Saints to win this game, and the Dolphins get a pick 6 off a deflected pass, and Saints barely miss getting 2 turnovers of their own, and Dolphins up to a comfortable early 10-0 lead. Just gonna be one of those games I guess. Ball just bouncing the wrong way.
