*** Official Flying Stupidity Wagering thread ***

This is insane. I have Mich. St -10.5. I took it early in the week and got a bad number. I thought it would go one way and went the other way.

It is tied 21-21 going into 4th. And then Nebraska scores 17 unanswered points in 4th with a couple big plays and a couple short fields when Mich St goes for it on 4th down on their side of the field and doesn't convert.

Anyways, I get the backdoor TD at end of game to make it go to 11, and they go for 2. Literally no strategic reason to do this. None. Zero. Zilch.

And it is a bullshit fade that has 0.0% chance of working. The ball was placed so bad it wouldn't have worked if the QB and receiver were the only 2 players on the entire field. And I lose because of my shit number and a shit play that makes no sense. Insane. How am I always on the wrong side of these?

I’d love to bet the Browns. Scares me that Minnesota Sat over there for a week and acclimated. But I still might ride this. Backups are good for that new car smell sometimes for a week or two.

Got a few texts yesterday - had some family stuff cooking and I couldn't give ncaa enough attention. I reviewed numbers and I would have likely gone 8-7 so nobody missed anything.

Im with Todd on the early game and I think its well correlated. I took a rate parlay of +3.5 and Under to start the day.

Saints -2
Den +3.5
Mia -1.5
Sea -3.5
Was +3
Jets U47.5
Den U44.5
Ten O42
Sea O44.5
Det U49.5

Remember NFL toughest market.... dont go crazy with any of these

[Kalam]

I took Minn -3 -115. Something about Minn being in England for one week after a loss being very focused, and Brian Flores defense against a rookie making his first NFL start.

But who are we kidding? The team that turns the ball over less will probably win.

And just like clockwork Vikings turn it over on their first possession.

Awful playcalling by Cleveland, that and stupid penalties cost them dearly

[Kalam]

Plays so far. Some of these were made days ago so lines probably moved, and likely in wrong direction:

Cowboy/Jets O47

Giants/Bucs teaser

Panther/Jets teaser

Giants/Broncos teaser

Patriots/Bils O48.5

Raiders +7.5

On pace to lose every bet. On the wrong side of multiple red zone turnovers. Glad to know I still got “it” when I post plays on this thread ahead of time.

25s left TD kills both bets (though a FG kills the under most likely, anyway), and now the other two look shitty.

Who knew the Texans had the ability to put up 24 in one half?

My bets look shitty. Yours are a flaming pile of elephant shit.

[Kalam]

Giants start 3rd W with their 2nd turnover of game in scoring position. M


I am losing turnover battle on all my bets, and spectacularly losing them all.

[Kalam]

Giants 3rd turnover in red zone. This one taken back for a defensive TD.

[Kalam]

Giants 4th turnover, again in scoring position, for those keeping track.

[Kalam]

5th turnover.

Giants losing the turnover battle 5-0 including a defensive TD and I still have a small chance to cover the teaser. Amazing.

Awful playcalling by Cleveland, that and stupid penalties cost them dearly

Yeah the later 2 picks were just shit.

I feel like I should have won the first 2 on the Cleveland game. Well, there goes my winning NFL record for this year.

At least my Indy Survivor pick was gold.

That Indy pick looks even better now after Tenn.

[Kalam]

Yes, I had Az teased down to 0.5 in 2 separate teasers that other ends had already hit. This isn't even fun anymore. Even after the ridiculous fumble through the end zone and fumbled interception, Cardinals are still up 2 with 3 minutes left and go run, run, run, get no yards, punt and lose to FG when their defense gives little resistance to Titans who easily march down field to FG range.

Any team can go 40 yards and kick a game winning FG. We see it 10 times every week. The idea that any team up 2 points should run 3 times against a stacked box and then punt when the other team still has over 2 minute left is just absurd. If I was owner I would just fire this whole coaching staff.

I really feel like just calling it a football season. See you all for NBA season in a couple weeks.

I feel a little better about those 5 tickets I lost in week 3. Some of them would have likely been on AZ, and perhaps 1 on Rams. I did have AZ for 3 of my 6 early, so I couldn't have used those, but I'm guessing 2 tickets would've gone with AZ, so even if I didn't blow as many on Atlanta, I would've lost two here.

me too. i kept thinking if i was AZ owner i would lock the coach out of the building and had him call uber to get home. that was an abortion in every fucking sense of the word.


here is a piece of how my sunday generally went. suffice it to say, had they won they would have paid for a nice, new car. i did not include all of the ones that went 3/4 or 4/5, just the tougher ones to swallow.
