I'd rather lose betting on strong teams than lose on betting on losing teams. You are just hoping and praying they put up a fight that night. While it takes an off night for good teams to throw up a stinker. When you want to bet on a crappy team bet the over or under and at least if you are right or wrong you have a shot at winning.

Exactly!
I knew Jets would be tanking and dont want to win any games, which is ok. I just thought they would go out on the field and at least show some skill and just play a bit but I have been wrong multiple times.
Jets are terrible and I feel bad for the young college guys that get selected by the Jets and Adam "Im an Idiot" Gase.

Can anyone tell me why I repeatly bet the damn Jets?
Of course not the moneyline but I took the spread this time all the way up to +17, because I thought:
Hey they will lose this for sure, but they should be able to put at least a couple of points...

Oh my was I wrong...
Jets got destroyed, Jets have made it (finally) to my Do not Bet List.

@Hueristic. Agreed! However, it does not cover the spread for the people that gambled on the Ravens. The spread was Baltimore -3.5, was it not? I might be wrong.

Now they covered with that safety at the end. Brutal for those who got the browns spread. What a game though. Cheesy

Perhaps one of the more entertaining games of the year. That last play tho... I put in a small bet at +5 Cleveland minutes before the game started and it turned out to be a nailbiter. I don't blame them for trying to do what they did, but uh, they got a bit silly with it and did one too many laterals. So I went from a win to a draw, whatevs.

Here's the last play for those who want to see it:

Fucking fantastic ending to a great game. Wow, I don't even care that I lost my bet, it was fun to watch that mayhem that Lamar Jackson inflicts when he's on it.

Just watching the games and suffering in Patriots Hell...

Welcome to world of the 49ers' fans. Cry

HAH! Funny considering the scuttlebutt of Garoppolo coming back to Foxboro for 2021. Grin

I really don't know if I want to see him back here or not but I'll take anyone over Newton!

Lol, yeah it's time, I think. Lips sealed

Garoppolo isn't a bad QB, he's actually got a pretty damn good win/start record, but he's fragile. He would be great behind a solid line, which the 9ers haven't been able to maintain. And he gets rattled when the dice are down... But other than that, he's great. You'll love him.

I want the Niners to trade up and get that kid out of Clemson, ~~Jeff Spicoli~~ Trevor Lawrence.

I'm always on other 49ers forums and everyone is continually bashing Garoppolo because he is a "bad player" but when he's healthy, he's generally a well above average QB - he just has the injury bug. Niners were smart to create the contract the way they did. It's a pipe dream for us to get Lawrence. I would prefer Zack Wilson, the kid out of BYU. Killer accuracy and can evade as good as, if not better, than Lawerence.

Sadly didnt get to watch this game but that score! :O
I read the Gamecast and it was intense!

I think I need to watch this game on Gamepass, because it for sure seems like I missed some major action!
I decided to take a last minute Ravens -3 Bet before going to bed, was just hoping they would get this game done, but I was lucky to win it!

I need to watch this game, I mean if it ends at 47:42... Offensive Showdown!

And he does... 4th down... pass... TD. Wild game.

In any case, touchdown for Ravens. They win the game.

The Browns will win this game if they make this touchdown. It is right now 4th quarter 7:00.

I am wondering what the hell happened to Dan Bailey Cheesy

Still remember him from his Cowboys days and he was a super reliable kicker, which always annoyed me a bit tbh. Nowadays he looks to be the worst kicker there is. He destroyed my over last week in MIN-JAX game, missing 2 PATs and 1 FG and yesterday he even topped that performance by missing 1 PAT and 3 FG's. And those misses yesterday weren't even close, they were way missed Cheesy

Most people are not aware that all kicker hips wear out if they play long enough, that's why Gostowski was so horrible for the start of the season. They usually try to put off the surgery for the off season and push through but sometimes weird shit happens when they all have bad hips at the same time.

Here is a good article on it.

That's my line. Tongue

If Lamar keeps doing what he did so far, the Ravens alone might score 46 Wink

It's 28 to 20 already only half way through the third quarter. Not what I expected for this game, but damn, Lamar is fast. 124 rushing yard already.

And I remember seeing this post on Reddit claiming there were 19 missed fieldgoals in week 1:
There have been 19 missed Field Goals (FG) in week 1 this year. What's the most missed FG in a single week in the NFL?

I just checked this one and it was 15 FG and 5 XP missed.
For this week, with Parkey adding to the list twice, we are at 13 FG and 7 XP missed now.

Maybe it's the unusual sight with (nearly) empty stands and/or the kickers not getting distracted by the home fans doing funny things between the goalposts, which then actually distracts them. In Basketball they were once talking about how these fans waving etc. behind the board is actually helping the players, because it makes their vision to the rim clearer. It's a fixed thing surrounded by moving elements (sorry can't explain better in english^^)

Talking about kickers, I really like that Koo guy from the Falcons. His legs are already impressive - being only 5-10 helps a bit in that regard - and he is 33/34 (97.1%) in FGs this season; missed 3 XP's though. Being just 26 y.o., he can kick the ball for another 20 years professionally^^

Yeah, some of those kicks were way...way off, especially the 54-yard one which was at least 20 yards to the right, Troy Aikman was joking that Bailey might not be Vikings' kicker in the second half. Grin

Interesting fact, if we get two more missed FGs or XPs today, it will be 20 on the week, which is a lot imo. Guess not only Bailey is having a bad week, Castillo had 3 missed FGs for the Jets, McManus, Rosas, and Lutz each had two missed FGs.

I seem to recall the Talking Heads mentioning this kind of thing almost every season. Now I'm wondering if it's always around this time of year, as the weather starts to affect the the game more.

The Vikings have missed a total of 6 fieldgoals this season, half of them yesterday.

I really want to jump on the Browns spread then push it up to 7 but I feel like the Ravens could win by at least a touchdown so I went with them instead.

Hope we all meet in the middle with a Ravens win and Browns covering the spread. Best of luck Wink

Edit : Wow, Browns about to make a comeback now that Lamar is out.
