I really wanted to see the Browns make it to the big game this year just because their fans deserve it.

What an ending that was, first Henne and his fearless drive and then Reid's gutsy call to go on 4th and inches, i mean nobody saw it coming. Congrats, KC!

Will Mahomes be available next Sunday, i guess not? Clearing concussion protocols usually takes more time...idk

Mahomes didn't look well when he got up. I hope it's just concussion protocol and nothing really serious.

Interception by Browns. This is their win or lose drive.

Edit: lose it was. Good effort by Henne despite that interception.

*rushes to phone to watch game previously thought to be assuredly over*


edit: what a game!

What an unexpected turn of events, with Mahomes out it feels like the Browns are about to win this one unless the Chiefs get a touchdown and burn some time here.


Edit : Just when they're close to the end zone they turn it over. Chiefs can't catch a break lol

Thoughts on TB/NO game?  I got NO -0.5 FH, NO FG -3 (+110), FG over 53, NO ML Double amount of other single bets (-132).

Those are my bets I placed about a week ago.

---

Can anyone explain the logic of not going for two when trailing by 16?

I had Chiefs -6 FH, Chiefs -8 FG, FH Under 28.5, FG over 55.5.  Will probably split 2-2.

It was at least kind of close and if you like to watch good defense, which I personally do, it was one of the better games indeed. But in general the PO's bore the hell out of me until now. There wasn't one lead change after halftime and only very few even in first half (BUF-IND, TEN-BAL); some teams were able to tie in the first 30 minutes to make it 3-3 or whatever, zzzzzzzz. Every game is just a 1.01 train, I miss some drama

Browns seem to be no matchup for KC today, so all my hope is on Brees vs Brady later. If that is a one-sided affair as well, I will have to wait for Chiefs vs Bills

And just like that my SB prediction is wrong once again, who would have thought?

Anyway it is incredible how fast things can change in a NFL game, when the Bills scored a TD I was excited as the Ravens will be forced to answer quickly and it seemed they were on their way only for that INT to change things and create a 14 points swing, and then less than one minute of game play later Lamar leaves the game injured, at that time I think we all knew the game was over and it was a disappointing ending for a game that was very entertaining until that point.

Confused by those spreads.. this is your prediction of final point total differential?

I was considering total points for the Browns/Chiefs game as I imagine it would be a boom or bust game for Browns and their defense is kinda meh, but the current over/under at ~56 is quite ridiculous I think. So I'm sticking with Browns +14.5 and Bucs +7.5 for today. Which is to say that you should probably do the opposite

I knew GB was going to wax the Rams. Goff has been regressing all year and Rodgers is obviously this years MVP who’s on a mission to silence all his haters from his last season struggles.  Also figured the same for the Bills.  So what did I do about these strong gut feelings ? Let my buddy get in my head and made no bets last night lol.  

So today gotta go with my gut..I do best personally when betting spreads and normally try staying under 7pts but I just can’t see the Browns being able to keep up with the future  🐐.  Only hesitation is Clyde Edwards being out. Does this injury scare you off ?

Bucs / Saints ..man, impossible game to call. Can’t wait to watch that showdown!!

SB prediction - GB vs KC  - KC back to back champs

Edit - now looking at KC vs spreads of late..I’m hesitating a bit. Haven’t covered I don’t think since the Jets early Nov. Tough one here.

The one that Tucker made was so damn close of hitting the post again, 3/3 would've made him the new doink king (sorry, Cody Parkey).

A little bragging time, i got my both bets right this time, very proud of my Diggs to score anytime prediction, if not for the wind, he was likely to score more than once, this dude is so good, both he and Allen have great chemistry together, awesome to watch. #Billieve  

Does anyone have any tips for today's two games? I'm rooting for Browns and Bucs to advance but probably not gonna happen, that's why i'm on the lookout for suggestions to perhaps tail.

edit;


Points it is then, Chubb and Kelce anytime score @3.xx

Missed two now. This is turning out to be one of those doink doink games.

Edit: horrible luck for Ravens... oh well. Bills played great short-pass football tonight and the interception sealed it. Well done, wind be damned.

The winds are strong in Buffalo. This partly might have made the Ravens miss the field goal. Also, rush yards for the game might go over and pass yards might go under. NFL speculations from a casual fan hehehe.

Goff looks significantly better, i mean his throws compared to last week. That TD at the end the half was crucial, game was getting away from them, will see if that will be enough as A.Donald and their defense can't get to Rodgers, Rams are lucky GB didn't have 20 more seconds on that final drive, might have scored another TD. Packers offense is methodical, can beat in so many different ways, the only thing missing so far is one of their signature big plays to Adams/Valdes-Scantling, but i'm sure they will take the short/medium plays the Rams are giving them so far, still 9pts isn't much, let's see if the snow will play a role in the second half can we get some snow, please? 

It's snowing in Green Bay.

Hehe, I already wrote my leans here and this is still valid as of now There wasn't much movement in the odds and lines as expected; at this stage the odds are close to perfect unless some unforeseen things happen, like injuries/Covid/DUI/domestic violence etc., lol.

I still think the Rams are a bit too high, but we have to factor the weather in and Goff and his thumb in cold temperatures, phew. He is generally not that good/experienced in cold weather, see this tweet and the graphics. So in the end these odds are probably ok and not worth a bet.

The over in Buffalo I like the most, this is a few points too low for my liking. These two teams beat over 49.5 only twice when playing each other, but the Bills defense is shitty in the end I think, while they are always capable of scoring a lot - which they will have to today. And because I trust the Ravens defense more, I also like them ML.

Browns HC/ML has quite some value I think, but I can understand why people are scared to put money on them You always have this high-powered KC offense in mind, which can basically score at will, but they are not that good anymore. And they struggled quite a bit this season. There is always this one team surprising in the PO's and I think it could be the Browns this year. People are waiting for KC to explode, but I don't see it tbh. That being said, it's still more likely for KC to advance

Saints/Bucs is fairly priced and if all goes according to plan, Saints should have this, because their defense is just better.

What happened to your thread btw ? Don't give up, these kind of threads are interesting Maybe add some stats, record, P/L etc.

For the SB I would like to see the Saints from NFC and the Bills from AFC. Saints because I always liked them and especially Brees (and their jerseys, lol, I even had one of them, Reggie Bush) and Bills because I want to see the very disturbing pics of the Bills fans celebrations

I watched all six games but I really only liked the ones that I won. The other two were severely disappointing, how could they throw the game just because they knew I bet on them. How dare they.

Ty's been quiet, wonder who he likes this weekend.

I'm gonna be rooting for the Rams but in no way betting on them.

Baltimore/Buffalo will be the most exciting game IMO... looking forward to that one as well.

I don't know what to make of the spread on the Chiefs/Browns game; I think its probably a little high but it doesn't attract my money.

For a bet I find Bucs/Saints to be the most interesting game. I don't know how I'm going to play it yet but I like the idea of only betting on the last game so I don't sulk through the remaining games of the weekend.
