    now is not the time to break it to you that Kyrie being out has been a boon for the Nets. Kyrie being out is bad for you not good.

    Nets are pure fire with LeBron’s buddy on disability

    This is pretty much common knowledge at this point so his return won’t be fade-able except as a good over (no defense).

    I think I heard some one wonder if Kyrie might be suffering from mental illness. Uh, yeah.... you think?

    With Lebron's advice and tutiledge, AD wont have the same issue as KP, being uncomfortable facing his old team.

    Lakers gonna win by 7 or more for sure. This will be something they build on and look back on for the rest of the season

    Edit: I was half right I guess.

    41 points and they only win by 4. Interesting.

    Nets were up by like 9 near the end of the first half, but they collapsed and Boston easily covered (though it got a little uncomfortable in trash time).

    Lakers come back from 15 down in the 4th to win, but not cover.

    Utah game only had 41 points in 1Q, but there was a crazy 3rd quarter and my under was ruined.

    2-1 day.

    I'll take it.

    Sorry for the misclick, San.

    You saved me a lot of money.

    Just before the tip it rose back to +6.5 & I flipped it back to Clippers at +100. I got the proverbial FREE PASS

    A miraculous confluence of 3 breaks. You, the points and no juice. Amazing

    I also couldn’t resist taking a little plus Lakers live in the first half

    Lakers have had a pretty cake schedule and have a lot of close wins. If you blindly bet the spread every Laker game I am pretty sure you would be down $$ despite their excellent record. I have a feeling the lakers Pythagorean win expectation is much lower than their actual wins, and there is going to be some correction, especially as the schedule gets tougher.

    Edit: I just checked and they actually have the second best point differential in the league (behind the Bucks), which kind of invalidates my theory, but F it, I am going to be stubborn and stick to my guns.

    UEFA Europa League. FC Astana v Man United

    Man United will win this against a team who are leaking goals.
    I'm betting them outright at +105... and -1 goal at +280

    Very confident

    Starts in 50 minutes.

    Did a Bears-Cowboys parlay.

    Not the best start, but there is still hope I guess. It is a fairly major concern that the Bears cannot generate any pass rush, and Blough seems capable of finding open men down the field given infinite time.

    Both teams getting absolutely brutalized by questionable penalties. But as long as CHI wins I will be ok with it.

    The really funny thing krypt is I then backed Ferencváros right after that disaster, and of course we missed a penalty and then conceded a goal in extra extra time... then backed Arsenal right after while tilting like a three legged table.

    They actually kicked a FG on 1st and 10 with 2 minutes left to go down by 8. So still alive inexplicably.

    Matt Ryan is getting sacked every other play, but the coverage is triple ply toilet P soft, so the other half are big completions.

    Wouldn't triple ply be pretty strong?

    I didn't even mention it but I had Over in the Mississippi game too. Game was supposed to be tied 21-21 at end of regulaiton, which would have given me a good chance, but that stupid celebration coupled with the kicker choke job took care of that.
