Ah yeah !!! One of my super bowl early season prop bets I have the Bengals and Lions @ 28/1. Is that a good enough reason?

No.

Well I'm not here to please you anyway. :kissmybutt:

No.

Do you have any better possible Super Bowl match-ups with decent odds?

Do you have a list?

I think the Chargers could be surprisingly good. They have a 300-pound fullback.

I have a small list. I always try and figure out which 3 or 4 teams in each conference have the best chance to go to the super bowl and look for the most likely match ups with the best odds. The Chargers did not make my top 4 in the AFC.

That's why you are losing money.

- Chargers had a down year and are looking to bounce back. Before last season PFF ranked them the 8th best roster.
- Herbert is a Top 5 QB.
- Harbaugh has made the conference championship game in 3 of his 4 years as HC.
- Michigan defense was the best in college football and Harbaugh brought his DC with him to LA.
- Greg Roman isn't a great OC, but he always had a top offense when he joined a new team due to novelty factor of going run-heavy in a league that uses nickel as base defense.

Which means rookie Jermaine Burton and Andrei Iosivas will be the featured WR's for the Bengals this week. IOSIVAS has been turning heads ever since training camp began for the Bengals. Burrow really likes him and is very impressed. Nevertheless, Jermaine Burton is expected to be a starter at some point this season. I wouldn't be surprised if Burrow introduces both of them to us this weekend vs. the Patriots. For those that have Higgins in Fantasy, Iosivas is a decent play if you want to pick him up.

Idk how true it is but i read Burton doesn't know the playbook yet. My response is just give him go routes, don't need to know anything to run those lol

The worst team in the AFC North was the only winner in the division this week. But I'm starting to believe it just might be the Browns now. Is Watson looking like a total bust or what? Browns just can't get the QB situation right. Cleveland seems jinxed.

And then Baker Mayfield is down in Tampa throwing 4 TDs and nearly 300 yards.

How are the Steelers the worst team in the division?

Have you looked at your roster? Have you seen them play and put the eye test to them? And like Bill Parcell's used to say, "when you have 2 QB's, you really have none".

I've seen out roster.
Our defense is the best in the league.

I saw our offense with the backup QB on less than 3 days notice look pedestrian but not bad. Fields was average. His pedestrian stats matched up with many of the non-star QBs around the league. A few penalties, no fault of his own, kept his day from actually looking much better.

He's better than clingy Mr. Unlimited and show more composure than Cousins in that game. If I am Tomlin, I would make it official on Justin as the starter unless he's injured. Steelers is a classy organization I have always respected.

I do like your defense. One of the best in football. The very best, that's debatable. I'm sure we will be discussing that throughout the year but I'm sure the Steelers will be there for the most part barring injuries and getting worn down. And what I mean regarding worn down is I expect them to spend way too much time on the field due to the offense.
I know you are a Steeler fan so I assume you haven't seen or may not know much about Wilson and Fields. I'll just say good luck and leave it at that. And a win against the Falcons isn't really much to brag about. Lets see how your defense holds up against a very good QB instead of a guy like Cousins coming off an achillies injury.

So hard to believe the Steelers are 2-0 and haven't even scored a T.D. yet. Steelers just don't feel and seem like legit team or playoff team to me.

Their schedule gets a lot harder, later in the season.

Week 11 - Ravens
Week 12 - Browns
Week 13 - Bengals
Week 14 - Browns
Week 15 - Eagles
Week 16 - Ravens
Week 17 - Cheifs
Week 18 - Bengals

That is an absolute gauntlet to end the season.

Is it just me or does it look like Joe Burrow is finally getting fed up with the Bengals for being so cheap?

Yeahhhh, it's pretty annoying. Maybe help is on the way or is it too little, too late?

They're working out Xavien Howard and Leonard Fournette today, doesn't mean they will sign either guy though.
