The way he stepped up into that pocket slowly and floated it I thought "oh no" and then it was right to a charger...lol.

They got lucky after the head scratching move to fake a punt in your own territory up 4 in the 4th. Made no sense.

Chargers - 1 @ Falcons

Vikings -3.5 vs Cardinals
Patriots +2.5 vs Colts

I already lost my 4 team parlay when the Chiefs lost. All I'm doing today are two straight up bets. Bengals and Bills.


I know you like the Chiefs and they just win, but they seem like an odd team to bet on. I have not paid super close attention to which teams have covered this year but thinking about the Chiefs season, it feels like they would have a pretty bad record against the spread this week. Despite usually assuming they will win, I rarely lay the points with them and go the other way instead.

Great teams dont cover the spread most of the time during the regular season, iirc Patriots were abysmal against the spread over the years.

It depends. Established great teams have bloated spreads (as well as the Cowboys traditionally) because the public will tend to bet on those teams regardless...it's a Vegas bait.

But a great upstart team that hasn't been good for a number of years can often be great against the spread. Looking at standings it looks like KC is 4-7-1 so not terrible. Detroit and Denver are the best ats at 9-3. Steelers 8-3. Giants and Titans are the worst ats.

Last year the Lions were the best ats and the Chiefs were the second best against the spread.

Now you may be right that the Chiefs are great this year but I think despite the record, they were better last year.

That's what I mean, Lions havent proven anything yet. Since Chiefs first super bowl in 2019 they cover less than half the time, you need over 55 percent to make money.

Wow...the Colts..was surprised they switched to this game...but down 7, 1st and goal and Pats hold them to 4th and goal at the 3 but Richardson passes for the td...and then runs in for 2 to go up 1 with 12 seconds left. Gotta change to Vikings/Cards.

What a terrible pass. Feel bad for Marvin Harrison. If Herbert had him he would be lighting it up this season.

Inevitable Jags victory incoming.
We watched the tragedy unfold. We did as we were told, we bought and sold. It was the greatest show on Earth...but then it was over.

If our Special Teams unit wasn't a dumpster fire, I'd like our chances. It was responsible for all of the Jets points today.

And that’s why the 4 team parlay is a sucker bet…I just missed out on that
