NFL experts in this thread, how can we make money from this? Please share your best bets heheheheh.

Bet on the Chiefs. Cheesy

Man I really tried to give the whole UFL thing a go but the games are just at highly inconvenient times and without recognizing any of the players, I just haven't managed to get into it yet. To its credit, its a lot more like the NFL than I had imagined; none of that wacky XFL stuff. Just a few new rules to move the game along faster & reduce chances of injury. Still better than college tho, IMO.

@Hueristic. Agreed. His success has caused him to have forgotten how he has arrived in his success. This is a very strange behavior. However, he has a new young girlfriend. This might retire him hehehehe.

In any case, NFL draft has odds for betting in Duelbits! It might also be available in your favorite sportsbooks.

What Blank didn't say was that he and his top lieutenants had voted on the team's next head coach, ranking each candidate.

Bill Belichick didn't even finish in anyone's top three.

Good, he needs to sit for awhile and look in the mirror.

I have been disgusted with his hiring decisions and player choices the last few years and it was obvious he has drank his own koolaid and decided to rather admit he's made mistakes he continues to keep doubling down on bad players (which he is over paying massively) when he has better options.

News update, Stefanie Diggs was traded to the Houston Texans. According to many news articles, he is a drama queen. However, with him we might witness another good season for the Texans and with CJ Stroud becoming a strong candidate for MVP during NFL 2024 regular season hehehe. Fantasy managers, will CJ Stroud be your qb1?

Star wide receiver Stefon Diggs has been traded from the Buffalo Bills to the Houston Texans, the Bills announced on Wednesday.

Buffalo receives a 2025 second-round draft pick in exchange for Diggs, while the 30-year-old heads to Texas along with a 2024 sixth-round pick (No. 189 overall) and a 2025 fifth-round pick.

News update.

It appears that the Baltimore Ravens is very annoyed on their loss against the Chiefs in the AFC conference championship hehehe. They traded for a player who will certainly help Lamar if he is on the peak of his menstrual cycle hehe. There cannot be an explanation why he did not perform similar to many of the games in the regular season and the post season games before the AFC championship game.

However, Derrick Henry does not appear to be very happy for the trade in Baltimore.

Derrick Henry is bound for Baltimore, just as the two-time rushing champion expected this offseason. However, Henry admits that it could've been an ideal situation for him to stay home -- not in Tennessee, but rather in Dallas.

I think any time that a player is traded that they always have teams that they wish they could have gone to, or be playing for, and often times that includes teams that are close to their hometowns or thier favorite teams growing up or whatever. Derrick Henry knows that he's going to a very good team where he could play a very big role in potentially bringing them a championship, so I kind of doubt he's "upset" about it, but we shall see.

On the changes of certain rules for the new season, what teams does everyone speculate would become better as a consequence of these changes and for what type of players these teams presently have? Also, will these changes influence the NFL teams on drafts and playbook tactics or will it be considered minor changes?

If these changes are not minor, it appears the more favored NFL players might become smaller, less strong, but faster and more difficult to tackle.

How do they expect defenders to tackle from now on, like really? I understand it can lead to some nasty injuries but that's part of the game, freak accidents happen. This is dumb.

It's amazing how lame the game can be sometimes. In the early days of professional football the two leagues didn't have so many injuries. Padding was minimal and the players wore leather helmets. The gear they wear these is use more like weaponry than personal protective equipment. The speed of the game has increased, but I think that's also a function of the more secure padding.

I often wonder what the game would look like if the league were to use Rugby style padding and helmets.

Trust me when I saw they have better protection than they ever have. The old school leather helmet times, many I'm pretty sure we could build a team here on btalk and kick their asses lol. Okay, maybe not..but the athletes of today are a million times more athletic, strong etc.

I am all for somewhere in the middle. We have to keep guys as safe as possible but not make the game too "pussy-ish".

@morvillz7z. I will not be worried. This is very much similar to the decreasing viewership and ratings on movies because of the woke agenda. The movie industry is slowly removing themselves from this to increase back viewership and ratings again hehehe. I speculate if the ratings on the NFL go down because of these changes, we can be quite certain that they will also return to the old roughness of the game.

@ChiBitCTy. On the Chargers fans, do they have some of them left supporting the team? I am only joking hehehe, however, the Chargers do not have a Stadium that they call their very own. Their real fans are in a city 1 hour away in San Diego.

In any case, this is a transcript about a conversation on Justin Herbert and should fantasy managers be worried about him. I reckon he might shock everyone. They will not win the conference but new coach argument implies that they will enter the playoff.

I still call them the San Diego chargers, I am having a hard time shaking that lol. They may have to share a stadium, but it's the nicest one in the league. I'll share a stadium over the pos dump that is solider field any day. Though we will be getting a new stadium sometime this decade..I wish it would be at the Arlington Heights land the Bears bought from the old race track company, but they can't come to an agreement on taxes w/the city council apparently. Ridiculous as it's a perfect location.

Tabloid news update.

It appears that Bill Belichick is very happy with his dating life as a 71 year old man and he might not have the motivation to find another job in the NFL as a head coach for this year hehe. There was also an article mentioning that said Kyle Shanahan would accept Bill Belichick in his team as a defensive coordinator, however, this call was not answered. I am quite certain Belichik would only accept the offer if Shanahan offered Belichik his job hehehehheee.

Bill Belichick appears to be back on the dating scene.

The former Patriots coach, who mutually parted ways with the team in January after 24 seasons together, was seen having dinner with an unnamed brunette at Contessa Italian restaurant in Boston, according to a photo obtained by Deuxmoi, a pseudonymous Instagram gossip account.

It came after his split from his longtime girlfriend, Linda Holliday — who is the president of Belichick’s foundation — in September 2023.

I hear Robert Kraft gave him the number to his massage therapist and that's how it all began. Okay I'm just kidding but good for Bill, that guy is wound tight as can be. My guess is though that he only stays out for a year. I cant see him retiring until he's like at least 80. It's going to be odd not having him in the league this year.

In other news, I'm on cloud 9 as a Bears fan right now. @BBC.. have to disagree with your take on Keenan Allen and Mike Williams. The Chargers didn't want to get rid of either of them, they were in cap hell and had no other choice but to try and get keenan to restructure and had to drop Williams due to such a large cap hit. Chargers fans are livid.. I mean I get it and don't at the same time. Seems like a bit of mismanagement when it comes to the finances. Keenan is a great fit in Chicago as the number two or three option and will come in as a long time vet and help a rookie QB grow. I mean even if he gets hurt week 3, we gave up a 4th...and the Bears could still very well darft a WR coming up. Williams also hurt often but he was pretty heavily desired before signing with the Jets. If both can stay healthy, and I know thats a big if, they are gunna ball out.

He should absolutely retire from the NFL, in every capacity. Let him spend the rest of his years living it up on Tinder, or wherever his dating scene happens of course...

He was a great coach. One of the best to ever do it (in my lifetime anyway).

Head coaching record (per Wikipedia):

Regular season: 302–165 (.647)
Postseason: 31–13 (.705)
Career: 333–178 (.652)

Why sully that kind of legacy with a couple more mediocre years that will undoubtedly lower these near-godlike statistics? Just disappointed fans, whoever they may be, "we shoulda had a better coach than this Brady-less, washed-up wannabe playboy so-and-so."

Anyway, hats off to Belichick, or Coach Masters, as they used to call him in Madden as he never granted Madden his likeness rights. Cheesy

Netflix announces new sports series 'Receiver'

Today, Netflix announced its newest sports series "Receiver" that follows pass catchers for the 2023 NFL season: Davante Adams (Las Vegas Raiders), Justin Jefferson (Minnesota Vikings), George Kittle (San Francisco 49ers), Deebo Samuel (San Francisco 49ers) and Amon-Ra St. Brown (Detroit Lions).

"Receiver" is an eight-episode series set to premiere in Summer 2024 as a continuation of Netflix's relationship with the NFL that first began with "Quarterback," which hit the Netflix Global Top 10 for three weeks last year.

No exact release date, although it will most likely be around the same time "Quarterback" came out, before the start of training camps.

@ChiBitCTy. Agreed. Also, the Chargers have a new general manager and head coach. It will not be very surprising if this is the beginning for a formation of a team that they want to bring to the playoff in 5 years and challenge for a superbowl. If this speculation is correct, the general manager will certainly need to trade and draft younger players for Jim Harbaugh to position around Justin Herbert. This might also be a longterm roadmap for the Chargers, I reckon.

I think they might be relying on Harbaughs knowledge of the upcoming college players and be looking to get some gems out of the draft and be looking forward to the next few years not having to pay high salaries. Everyone at the skill positions minus Herbert will be on rookie deals, they'll be able to do alot in free agency next year if their draft picks don't hit this year.

You are very much correct! Also on why some people are shaking their heads on the removal of Keenan Allen and Mike Williams, Keenan will be 32 years old and Williams is always injured. Ekeler was also injured during the beginning of the season and was he injured again during the season? The Chargers' new general manager clearly shows that the team does not want to pay them high salaries while they are in IR list. The teams that traded for them will certainly have problems.

There aren't any rumors for who's going to potentially replace Keenan Allen or Michael Williams for that matter. If I'm Justin Herbert, I'm not a real happy camper at the moment having just lost my 3 best receivers (including Tight End Gerald Everett).

This is all money based decisions as the Chargers I belive were well over the cap or were just so high that they had little wiggle room, so cutting Mike Williams and asking Keenan Allen to take a pay cut (which he refused and why he's now a Chicago Bear) were money decisions. Just a bit wild to take away (though often injured) two stud receivers from your young stud Quarterback. No offense to Herbert, but he's not Patrick Mahomes who only needs one really good reciever to win a championship, there's really no other QBs whom can do that..so they need to draft a WR stud and hit a jackpot, otherwise this team is shapping up to be absolutely garbage.

Oh yeah, they also lost Austin Eckler, their versatile RB.

Don't forget who their new offensive coordinator is. Both Greg Roman and Jim Harbaugh are known for their run-heavy offenses. Even though they acquired Gus Edwards, i wouldn't be surprised if they go into the second round and reach for Blake Corum, reuniting him with his college coach. As you said, Chargers are very thin at wide receiver with Palmer and Johnston, but it's plain obvious what they want to do there, passing game is certainly not a priority. Lol, one of their first new signings (Will Dissly) is a run-blocking tight end.
