Go Bills is all I can say for today. BTW even though I knew Cam sucks I didn't realize how much until I checked stats today: 5 TD 10 INT this season. So I hope he throws a lot today.

In news that should surprise no one the Washington Football Team has released Haskins, it seems their patience has finally run out and they have decided to let him go, it is such a shame because as I have said before the kid has talent, but unfortunately it seems he is not interested in working hard to make the most out of it and not matter how talented you are that attitude is never going to allow you to make it on the NFL.

So is Wentz going to be traded?
I am not an expert on the topics of the salary cap but the dead cap PHI will suffer by trading or cutting Wentz is simply prohibitive, they will have to dismantle the team and basically accept to tank in 2021 as their only option to rebuild the team, to give perspective to this NE has a dead cap this year of 29 millions, Wentz alone could cost them 59 millions, yep that is not a typo, obviously it is more complex than that but it should give you an idea of how prohibitive the move really is, however taking into account PHI seems like it is going to be in cap hell anyway they may as well just dismantle the team and begin all over again in 2022.

I won my Apex League so all the money I lost I just won back winning the league.
Yay me.  Cheesy


Congrats!

Interesting scenario in the NFC east now, where the Eagles can basically decide, which team they will send to the PO for this division. The winner from NYG-DAL game will win the NFC East, if Philly beats Washington. If they lose, Washington will win the division. Given the fact (or rather my opinion), that the Eagles hate the Giants/Cowboys more than Washington, this 2+ for WAS looks amazing.

Does any NFC East team have a franchise QB playing right now???

So is Wentz going to be traded?

I was only speculating for the Colts to have a better chance of winning vs. the Jaguars than the Titans possibility of winning against the Texans hehe.

I love watching the Packers play in the snow.  It seems to have little affect on them, while the other team is franticly trying to figure out how stay upright.

if they lose this game, they certainly lose the division. The Colts will be against the Jaguars (1-14) in their home stadium on week 17.

The Titans hold the tie-breaker over the Colts.  If the Titans lose tonight, they could still win the division by beating the Texans next week.

@suchmoon. Agreed hehe. The Titans' defense is very terrible. But they appear to be adjusting, however. The 2nd quarter was better for them.

In any case, if they lose this game, they certainly lose the division. The Colts will be against the Jaguars (1-14) in their home stadium on week 17.

This might be bad for Aaron Rodgers' passing hehe.

Doesn't look like it so far LOL


I don't envy anyone playing Greenbay in the snow. Smiley

Looking forward to seeing Henry in the snow. Smiley

It appears to also be slightly windy. This might be bad for Aaron Rodgers' passing hehe. The Titans have one of the worst defense, however.

It's bound to be fun, but I'm going Packers all the way.  Tannehill has been good lately, but I'm not sure how he'll do in the snow.  I expect a heavy dose of Henry.

Here's my "Roll the Dice" bet for the evening:



Shit!  Looks like Aaron Jones got hurt, A.J. Dillon is getting most of the carries now.


ETA: I gotta say; hats off to Goff.  No, I'm not going to get poetic, but I can't help but root for the guy because of...  Reasons.

In the loss to the Seahawks he dislocated his thumb, and just popped it back into place and stayed on the field.  It was on his right hand, but didn't seem to affect his play.  I bet it hurts right now.

Chiefs does look like a trap game but the Falcons suck.

Chiefs are virtually guaranteed* the playoff bye so they don't have anything to play for.

I can't see how the Steelers or the Bills could possibly strip the top seed from the Chiefs at this point, it certainly looks like they have nothing left to win.  I just learned that Mahomes will be starting, so maybe Andy Reid is trying to match the best regular season record (15-1) of the 16-Game era...  I don't know, seems like a risky bet.
I think this has more to do with rhythm more than anything else, if Reid benches Mahomes completely with the intention of protecting him until the playoffs start, Mahomes will rest for almost a full month before seeing the field again and for a team that is so dominant right now that is probably the worst thing that could happen to them, so it seems Reid prefers to take the risk of Mahomes still being on the field and clinch for sure the top seed than to risk him losing rhythm.

So far he played the entire first half and he is still on the field at the beginning of the 3rd quarter, lets see if at some point Reid pulls him out or he lets Mahomes play the entire game.

Yeah you can't bench your starting quarterback for what would be 4 weeks between starts.  If a team has a bye I still would play him in week 17 into the 3rd quarter.  Not playing for weeks is as detrimental as getting a nagging injury.  You also don't want to go into the bye losing 2 in a row.  There is something to be said about confidence and momentum.

Steelers clinch AFC North, those 3 touchdowns by Big Ben in the second half came out of nowhere, just like the three-game skid they were on until today, nobody saw it coming.

please no more upsets today!  Cheesy

So far only Ravens are doing what they're supposed to do.

Ravens did well from the start, Jaguars fans cheering the Bears TDs was hilarious though Grin, and now with the Jets' win over CLE, they've officially clinched the 1 pick.

edit; need 3 points from the Chargers in the second half for this little ticket to land, wish me luck lol

Well, I missed the Chiefs game.  Roll Eyes

My son had a car accident, everyone was fine, but I had to deal with that...  The joys of raising a teenage boy.   Shocked

Then I came home to find my multi was shit from the start.  One of 5, WTF, over?

At least Kelce and the Chiefs cam through for me with this hedge bet;

(Thanks Moon, Wolf & Wheelz for you replies to my question)

Today I so far have gone with the Browns over the Jets at -6.5 and the Chargers over the Broncos at -2.5. I honestly am a bit freaked out at how low these spreads are. To me the browns and chargers are easily the favorites. Am I missing something here ?! Lol.

I went for a 3 leg parlay with the Ravens -9.5, Bears -6.5 and Browns -6.5 @6 with how bad my luck is recently one of them probably won't cover.  Tongue

I'm only down to one survivor pool after that Steelers loss last week and for this week I ended up taking the Bears instead of the Browns. Not confident on both of them but with Browns having less key players i've got no choice but to ride with the Bears.
