I'm a lifelong niners fan. Wish they kept Alex Smith. Wow did I just say that? Still won with Packers -8.5!
Yeah it's always a bad sign when qb's seek out a old great (kurt warner) to try and learn how to throw. Every time there's a rush he just drops down. Time to draft a new qb and start over. The way they're playing I'm thinking top 5 pick or maybe 3 for the niners.
Quoted from centerflank:Sweet shank Saint kicker! Lol! Need some more garbage fantasy points from Witten!
Dallas never even touched it in ot. Bummer for you. Yeah me! Saints -3.5
Both Luck and Hasslebeck are questionable for tonight's game and they're still 1 point favorites on the road? Oh, they're playing the texans
I've been in a 12 team league since 98. I'm seriously thinking of joining fan dual. Like the thought of creating new teams each week. Also going head to head with people weekly for cash seems like something I can get into. We switched to auction format about 5 years ago. Way better imo. If we hadn't, I would have quit then.
I bet Sean Payton ends up in Miami. Saints need to blow it up. Stafford sucks but Brees is old and not the great great player he once was. And can Baltimore pick up/draft someone who can cover? 400+ yards to a Mccown?
Quoted from centerflank:Am I the only one that likes to see Rivers lose?
Rivers is a mouthy punk who hasn't won squat. Both Roethlisberger and Manning have 2 super bowls and he has a collection of bolo ties 
1 year later
2 chip shot field goals to win in ot. "They gave you a chance and you blew it"
That was the craziest/sadest game ever.
With the London game that wraps up a solid 15hrs of football. God bless America! See you next week. Same bat time, same bat channel
1 month later
Wtf was that Carolina? You start the game with Derek fuking Anderson? This is the same team that went 15 and 1 last year and had the league mvp?
Fucking joke
Raiders @ Cheifs Thursday. Too bad a game for first place is being played on a Thursday. With that being said, there's finally a Thursday night game worth watching! However, 2 of the best/classic uniforms in the nfl will be getting the awful color rush treatment.
Quoted from chuckwurt:Unfortunately these are only going to get more frequent.
Nfl expected to add another London game in 2017 pushing them up to 4 games. Ughh. And not doing the 9:30am kickoff anymore. Unless it's "your" team, the London game is unwatchable anyways.
Line is down to -3 KC tonight. Chefs in first place after sweeping the Raiders tonight!
"And the home, of the, CHEIFS"
Great, now my wife wants a Raiders jersey with silver numbers. #52 Mack, come on down. Xmas gift #2, check.
The chiefs red on red actually looks good.
Looks like bad weather for a few games today. Love football in the snow. And lots of teams playoffs lives are on the line today so it feels like playoff football in Dec! A few thoughts and questions for week 14.
I'm curious to see if the Titans can continue to build on what they're doing and defeat the Broncos today.
With Gronk out for the season do the Pats have enough besides B&B to survive afc?
Can the Giants win tonight and sweep the Cowboys?
Who's going to win the afc north? Steelers or Ravens
Are the Detroit Lions legit? Stafford is having awesome year and D seems improved.
Can the Bucs stay hot and the Falcons not choke as always?
Enjoy the games today
The hoodie is the best coach in the nfl imo.
His week to week gameplans and the way he uses his roster is genius.
Marvin Lewis must have the biggest stack of compromising photos of Bengals management to still have a job. How does someone coach for 13 years, not win at least one playoff game and keep his job? Even Josh McDaniels with Tim Tebow as his qb has a playoff win.
Quoted from Astropin:Good luck.....not going to happen
Could happen. Brady is 2 and 6 in Denver and Tennessee is hot and playing well.
But I'm with you. Doubtful.
-30 windchills in Chicago today 
After watching the 30 for 30 espn did with Ice Cube on the LA Raiders it didn't look like a family environment for sure. At the time it looked like football would never return to LA. Why would someone risk their life to attend a game with shitty teams when there's a beach with babes just down the road?
Maybe the Raiders should move to San Diego after watching them take over qualcom last weekend. It would take time to build a stadium in Vegas anyway and I believe their lease is up in Oakland after this year.
Quoted from Deaconblooze:I think that's one of the few 30 for 30s I haven't seen. The directing/production was so bad I couldn't stand to sit through it any longer.
It was on back to back with the islanders leaving long island this weekend. I like most of 30 for 30 I've seen.
Quoted from RobT:As you noted, Cowboys have locked up the number 1 seed, so they have nothing to play for in this game. Still, I hope that they don't rest everyone or not play hard. Taking 3 weeks off before the first playoff game wouldn't be a great idea.
They can't rest Prescott because Romo would be in and the ginger wouldn't be able to resist pulling a wade phillips (Buf 99) and bench Prescott if Romo lights it up.
And the qb is toast. Having flalashbacks of saragusa squashing poor rich gannon in 2000
Looks like Raiders season just ended. Finally make the playoffs and now no qb.
Ho, ho, oh oh
You guys have a lot of faith that the Raiders can beat the Broncos, In Den with Mcgloin.
I'm betting that Cheifs win, Raiders lose. Pats and Chiefs get byes. Fins go to Steelers and Raiders go to Texans for wildcard round.
Packers/Lions game should be best of weekend.
Second year in a row where WSH wins against NYG and make the playoffs and the loser of the DET/GB game is out of the playoffs. Seems odd no?
GB -3.5 @ DET. Packers have won 5 in a row and lions have lost 2 in a row. If home field counts as 3 points then the oddsmakers are favoring the Packers in Det by a touchdown? Was surprised this game wasn't a pick em.
Quoted from chuckwurt:What does OTB mean? Off the board? Like can't bet it? I wouldn't touch that game with a ten foot pole anyway.
Yup, off the board. Usually if they pull a game there's a significant injury at key position. But hadn't heard anything. Ravens deflated after last week, Bengals should roll.
When the steelers announced all their guys we're sitting earlier this week, the line went from -13.5 to -6.5
Quoted from Rondogg:Actually, it would be NE vs.Oak 4. All three previous games were amazing and 1976/2001 were both riddled in controversy and all were in the Championship game. Would love to see Carr back on the field for round 4.
Well if we're correcting each other. I meant #2 in Foxboro. The tuck game was actually a divisional game. Pats had to beat the Steelers with Bledsoe in the 01 Championship.
I like betting games where there's something on the line and this week is slim pickings.
What do you guys think about tonight's playoff games in cfb?
I'm on Alabama -13.5 over Washington
Clemson +3.5 over Ohio State
The public money is on Washington and Ohio St. Sharp money on Alabama and Clemson.
Rematch of last year?
Quoted from o-din:The schedule shows we have four day games on TV tomorrow. I think that's happened before. But a few weeks ago the schedule showed a game and I got Jimmy Swaggart or something like that instead. But the day is chocked full of good games anyway. Local networks have barred the Chargers, as it's been weeks since they got aired. So much for the LA market.
Happy New Year! And let the games begin.
Why don't you just have Sunday ticket and choose whatever games you want? Or at least have the red zone channel?
I remember in the 80s and 90s, if you lived in western Canada we were stuck watching regional shithawks coverage every weekend. You'd hope to see the Niners or Packers or Broncos in the late game but was usually,
"From the Kingdome, it's the 4 - 11 Chargers against the 2 - 12 Seahawks"
Ughhh 
Can't believe the Skins didn't show up today.
Both the Packers and Lions make the playoffs!
Now to see who hosts a playoff game.
Dolphins at Steelers
Oakland at Texans
I'm guessing lines will be something like Pit -7.5, Hou -4.5
Thoughts?
Giants D will pressure Rogers all day. I'm sure at some point he'll be whinning to the refs about something.
Let's go G Men! (Only cause I put $50 on them 5 weeks ago at 30 -1)
This weekends games in order with current odds.
OAK @ HOU -3.5
DET @ SEA -8
MIA @ PIT -10
NYG @ GB -4.5
The Raiders offense sucked ballz last week too.
The Patriots look like they have 2 weeks off till the afc championship.
The Steelers are a proven playoff team, dolhins not. With the fish healthy it would have been 6.5 to 7.5 Steelers. -10 Pit seems about right.
Steelers 23 Dolphins 10
Hopefully Detroit can keep it close if not pull the upset.
Shithawks just not the same team since blowing Super Bowl 49.
I like the nfl playoff format the way it is. Hopefully they don't change it. 12 teams is the perfect number of teams.
Only baseball had a better playoff format before they changed it. 3 division winners and 1 wildcard on each side. Makes winning your division important.
The nfl should get rid of Thursday night football too and stop trying to change something that's not broke.
Quoted from o-din:It will end up like hockey . Where more teams seem to make the playoffs than don't.
Quoted from RobT:...or the NBA.
Take a look at the current standings, and all the teams that are under .500 that would make the playoffs. Ridiculous.
16 teams works for both nhl and nba. Unfortunately in nba the top teams are so much better then the bottom teams that their playoffs are totally boring. Wake me at the finals. Oh and have you heard of back to back games, nba?
The NHL though is totally different. Just about every year a #8 seed takes out a #1 seed. Or at least a #7 takes out a #2. As far as intensity, and suspense nothing is better then playoff hockey.
Serious question. Can you guys (americans) bet online or have local sports lotto yet?
Or are you limited to vegas and bookies?
Brady went 11 - 1 as a starter. 28 TDs vs 2 INT. Broke the td to int record. And led his team to league best record.
I'd say Brady is mvp. Ryan 2nd and Rogers 3rd.
Quoted from dmbjunky:Have the Steelers and Pats ever met in the playoffs in the new millenium?
2001 and 2004 AFC Championship games. Pats won both.
Hopefully KC will kick the Steelers ass next week so we don't have to see NE/PIT 3.
Early lines on divisional games
SEA @ ATL -4.5
HOU @ NE -15.5
PIT @ KC -1
GB @ DAL -4
Right now im thinking ATL, HOU, KC and GB on spread with ATL, KC, NE, GB winning straight up.
Quoted from dmbjunky:My picks
NE
Pitt
Atl
GB
I was 2-2 last week.
Looks like 2 - 2 again 
Steelers 6 super bowls
Bengals 0 super bowls
The steelers love playing the bengals twice a year as much as the browns
Quoted from SteveO:I guess we'll see how L.A. goes from having no NFL teams the last 20 years or so to having 2 again. I guess that leaves Vegas for the Raiders.
Probably the way it went in the 90s. Half full stadiums with crappy teams no one wants to go and see.
The San Diego community blew it. Instead of taxing out of town guests and having a nfl team where minimum 10 weeks a year (8 reg and 2 pre) people fill your town, hotels, restaurants, etc and pump cash into the local economy. YOU GET NOTHING! Oh, well your politicians spin it that the roads will get improvements. Enjoy them.
As for the Chargers, why would you want to be second fiddle to anyone, especially the Rams? Spanos is a cheap bum. Billionaire pinching pennies? Build your own stadium and reap the rewards of leasing YOUR stadium, 10 weeks of ticket sales and concessions, etc...
Sounds like the rich getting richer is main motive in SD moving to LA.
You give us 500 million and you'll instantly be worth 1 billion more in value.
Rams went from low 20s in value to 6th most valuable franchise in league just for moving.
Sucks for true San Diego fans.
When the Chargers move to LA and the Raiders move to Vegas what will happen to Raiders/Chargers week/rivalry? Bummer
Stan Kroenke is paying for the new LA stadium. The naming/licensing fee is going to be huge (9 figures for sure) cause every flight in and out of LAX will see the giant billboard on the roof of the stadium.
Niners had their stadium bought and paidoff without taxpayers money
Check out the new chargers logos. Very Dodger like. The other looks like Tampa Bay Lightning
You'd think the Dodgers copyright/infringement lawyers are going to have something to say about the Chargers new logo?
With all favorites winning I think a lot of us are 6-0!
Just need GB +4.5 and KC -1.5 to be 8 - 0.
Made $250 on a $100 2 game spread ticket
Quoted from TheLaw:wow what is the over/under going to be GB/ATL?!?
Bet365 has over under at 60.5 
Can't remember many games with 60 point totals
The Cowboys dump Romo and his 22 million owed next year and pull a giants and stock up on d next year. They can follow the seahawks model and have a qb for a few years where they don't have to pay him ($500gs next year) and add a pass rusher, linebacker and secondary.
However it is Jerry Jones so he's bound to fuck it up. And I hate the Cowboys more then any other team.
MVP odds
Brady +150
Ryan +350
Rogers +500
Although I thought all season it will be Brady, all the talking hair doos are leaning Ryan.
I still think Brady wins but at 3.5 to 1 I'm throwing a hundo on Ryan today
This weekends odds.
GB @ ATL
4.5 ATL
60.5 Total
PIT @ NE
4.5 NE
50.5 Total
I'm surprised the NE line wasn't larger
Thoughts on this weeks games?
So I'm playing blackjack in a small casino in North Battleford, Saskatchewan this afternoon and I'm wearing a Brady jersey and Pats hat. This older couple (at least mid 70s) walk by and I hear "Fuck those bastard Patriots, Go Steelers" and they just kept walking! His wife didn't even react. I busted a gut . The dealer even cracked up. Steelers fans are everywhere.
I wear my Brady jersey to annoy my Raider loving wife. I'm not even a pats fan but it is fun
We're watching PTI yesterday about the Raiders leaving and she says "now who am i going to root for? It just won't I be the same without the black hole and the fans"
I told her she can come across the bay and be 49ers fan like me.
She told me to go fuck myself!
Love you too babe.
All right, all right, all right.
4 hours till kickoff!
Filled the fridge with beers and currently rolling some lefthanded cigarettes.
Enjoy the games today.
Early Super Bowl odds.
NE -155
ATL +125
Found one -3.5 NE and no total yet. Probably be one of the highest totals in sb history.
Quoted from SteveO:Atlanta was impressive. I am looking forward to this year's Super Bowl, except for Lady Gaga. It's time to revamp or get rid of the halftime extravaganza. When I go to a football game, the stadium is playing something like Metallica or AC/DC. They aren't playing Lady Gaga or Cold Play.
Halftime show is for the wife's and kids. Total corporate shmuck. I'm a football fan. I don't give 2 shits who's singing at halftime.
Halftime is a piss break, smoke break and grab some sandwiches and wings.
They should get rid of the pro bowl.
No one wants to play in the game and risk injury.
Oh look, the 6th best qb in the nfc said no so I get to go. Big whoop.
All Pro is what/all they need.
Quoted from TheLaw:I used to like it the way it was; after the Superbowl. It's a bullshit game that's a good way to wind down after the season.just a reason to have 1 more Sunday of drinking after the SB.
I liked it too the week after the season also. One last weekend to get a teaser in. Miss the old qb challenge they did every year too.
My biggest complaint is the nfl award show where they announce the Hall of Famers now.
I used to look forward to a couple hours of nfl network covering the nominees waiting to see if they get a call and then a make shift press conference broke out and we got to see how happy the guys and their families and peers are for them. One of my favorite nights of the season.
Now we get a list of guys and come out to a small audience, clapity clap clap and it's over. Booooo
All right, Super Bowl week 
Haven't checked the books since last Monday but our national lottery has the line set at -3.5 NE, 58.5 o/u.
Pats 15 - 3 ATS this season.
Falcons 12 - 6 ATS this season.
At 3.5 I'm leaning Falcons but will probably end up betting heavy on the pats as weekend approaches.
We always do a prop pool with 15 to 20 game props. $5 entry. Winner takes the pot. Fun way for the non fan/casual observer of the game to have some fun too. Photocopy a stack and hand them out before the game.
I wonder if we get a Eugene Robinson/Barret Robbins this week?
"CAN'T WAIT"
Bumbed that T.O didn't make it. They're pulling a Irvin on him. Next year Ray Lewis and Urlacher as first time guys who are just about guarantee 1st ballot and Randy Moss is up for the 1st time.
I didn't think Davis would get in. 5.5 years isn't a hall of famer in my books.
Best fuckin superbowl ever!!!
Most suspenful 1.5 quarters of football. Largest comeback was 10 before Pats 25 tonight.
JULIAN EDEMAN'S catch should go down as top 3 catch in superbowl history.
Quoted from Lethal_Inc:Didn't get the whole Riger Goodell thing, what's the scoop on that?
What, you mean roger fidel and his vendetta against TB and the Patriots?
It was the Tom Brady FU tour all season long.
Boos 100% deserved.
Anyone else laugh their asses off when Willie McGinnest was walking with the trophy and dropping f bombs into a live microphone untill they cut his mike and Strahan pops out of nowhere and grabs the Lombardi from him?
I wonder if ol willie still has a job 
The hall of fame is becoming a joke. A long line of current hof members are questioning why Owens isn't in after 2 votes.
Owens didn't even make the first cut of 10. Which basically means until the whole structure changes, TO isn't getting in. Complete farce.
How about the guy who wagered 1million dollar on ATL +3?
5 minutes left in the 3rd it's 28 - 3 and you're flying high thinking you've got this and then the collapse starts.
Just heard that the stolen Brady jersey could be worth $300.000
Why would anyone want something they can't display and brag to their friends about?
Quoted from Topher5000:I liked the ad with Snoop Dog & Martha. I wasn't paying 100% attention, but it was something like "Snoop, what do you want for your birthday?" "I'd like..." "A purple kushy pillow?"
Haha, that was hilarious. My wife was yelling "hit rewind! Snoop just said he wanted some purple kush"
Besides the Gronk commercial, it's the only commercial I remember this year. Seems either the commercials suck now or I really don't give a rats ass anymore. I'm guessing both.
Where's the babes eating cheeseburgers and drinking beer and animals doing stupid things?
3 weeks later
Belichick just hijacked Rich Eisen's headset at the combine. Throws a quick shot at the nfl. Pretty funny.
That's Elway's problem as a gm. He thinks they're just a qb away from winning yet wastes a first round pick last year on a qb and refuses to give him a chance to develop. How about rebuild the line and grow with Lynch or the northwestern kid?
Romo is half the QB Manning was. I'd rather have a washed up pizza pimp noodle arm today then Romo and his broken everything.
Cleveland trades for Brock Osweiler and plans to cut him? Haha, poor Brock. Should have stayed with the Broncos.
Pats cleaning up in free agency. I just dropped $300 on Pats at 5.5 to 1. I thought it'd be more like 2 to 1. Next best is Shithawks at 9 to 1.
I feel really good about the bet.

Quoted from Erik:This is the least interesting draft in recent memory. There's a consensus #1 followed by a consensus shrug. With that said I can't wait til the 27th
I love the draft. Ever since I was a little kid I'll get a couple draft magazines, watch the draft and write every pick out. Team, position, pick, etc...
Even now I dvr both nfl network and espn's coverage. I wish they still held it Saturday and Sunday but it's all about prime time $$$.
It will be strange not seeing and hearing Boomer anymore.
Quoted from Erik:I also can't wait to see where Ross and McCaffrey end up and how they're used.
Doesn't McCaffrey scream a Patriot?

Only 1 day to go!!!!! Want to give a shout out to toasterman04 for telling me about dazn.com. Nfl league pass, redzone and nfl network 24/7 for only $20/month. Finally a way to stream games live in hd in Canada.
2017 PREDICTIONS.
■NFC. SEA & GB
■AFC. NE & PIT
■MVP. 1. Rogers GB 2. Wilson SEA
■SUPER BOWL. NE/SEA 3 with SEA winning it. Tough not to pick the defending champs and send Tommy off with #6 though. I really wanted to pick the Packers but think the nfc championship game will be up in Seattle which gives them the edge and not sure if they have any/enough defense. Going to sprinkle a little cheddar on NYG (15-1) and KC (20-1) as longer shots to win it all.
Good luck to everyone and enjoy the 2017 season!

Quoted from o-din:This recipe looks like a win.
https://www.traegergrills.com/recipes/beef/slow-smoked-prime-rib
My buddy bought a traeger this summer and we've been to 3 cookouts and were fantastic each time. The recipes on the site seem to be endless and I'm eyeing one up for my xmas gift this year!
Also I think the Chargers moving to LA with the Rams is going to be a disaster. I just don't see both teams being supported. Maybe 1 if they are good/contenders but when both teams are 4 and 8 and out of the playoff race i think seeing half empty upper decks will be the norm.
I'd do what you're doing. Buy a big roast, tap a keg, invite friends and family over and still be under the cost of a ticket.
Quoted from hwyhed:Any predictions on what team fires their coach 1st? I'm going w cinccy and M. Lewis n NY Giants and B McAdoo..
I'll take Chuck P in Indy for a hundo, Alex.
Pretty emotional, powerful moment about 30 minutes ago over in London with both teams interlocking arms and showing unity and support for each other during the national anthem. In a time divisiness, seeing Jacksonville owner Shahid Kahn standing between 2 players was a powerful, lasting image to me. Looking forward to see what else to come today. Stay strong my American brothers.
Quoted from o-din:You think having two teams would double my odds. Three teams if you count who ever's playing the Patriots, but noooooo...
That's why I have so much respect for the NY Football Giants. They are the only ones that have come thru in the last 20 years.
And it took 2 fluky, once in a lifetime plays to happen. On the flip side tho the Pats last 2 superbowls were won on bonehead calls by coaches. (Seahwaks throwing the ball on the goal line, Falcons not kicking fg and winning the game)
Come to think of it all 5 of the Patriots superbowl victories could have been losses.
Love playing the hypothetical game.
With all those high draft pics, jags should start to get better. Think the defense is getting good. J. Ramsey seems like a star in the making. If the qb can avoid turnovers and run the ball with fornette, jags could be respectable. Maybe 8 - 8 this year?
Quoted from CrazyLevi:Laugh it up, Tom Brady isn't gonna live forever. In a very short time the Pats are gonna be just like everybody else.
Jimmy G might be the next A Rod who sat behind a future hall of famer for 3 seasons. There's a reason the hoodie didn't trade him. He's not Cassell, Mallet, etc.. I bet Vikings, Bears and Lions fans prayed for the day Favre retired. And turned out A Rod was even better. If he's half as good as Brady they should still dominate the division for years.
Quoted from chuckwurt:How is sanu not owned? Ten team league?
I'm sticking with Cooper for now. I'd start him no matter the matchup. My rule is stick with your studs through 4 weeks at least.
Cooper has been playing like garbage. He's my #2 wr and cost me last week. To the bench you go coop. Especially against broncos d.
I'm mountain time and the 7:30am start is nice. Don't know if i want it every week but better then watching pregame shows talk about the same 5 teams.
Damn. Carr out 2 to 4 weeks with bad back. When I drafted Carr and Cooper I thought I'd be set. Waiver wire, here I come
Quoted from Topher5000:Well, that sucked.
You should check out pregame.com podcast on tunein. I originally was like you last week with Buf pick. After hearing 75% of public was betting Buf and sharps betting Cin I switched my pick. It's nice to know where the pros/sharps are laying their bread. Went 13/14 straight up this week and 11/14 ats. Damn Lions cost me my third ever perfect weekend.
Saints just traded Peterson to the Cardinals for conditional pick. Forgot he was in nwo. Sad to see future hall of famers washing out in other cities.
Quoted from RWH:Eifert once again done for the season in Cincy. As a Cincy fan since 1968. I simply can't fathom the thought process behind keeping this TE regardless of "how good he is", he has never played an entire season; hell he's not played four games in a row since coming into the league in 2015. I don't give a damn if your Tom Brady, if you are on the bench injured 12 games a season your simply dead weight eating up cap space for another player that can actually contribute to the teams success. Release him an move on already! Oh yeah I hear the nay sayers "he's one of the best TE's in the league"......really, when did he play long enough to earn that tag. Trade him, he's a non-factor, even if he's traded to a AFC North opponent odds are around 75% he'll not be available to play come time to face them.
Nice rant! Not sure if anyone anywhere is saying the dude is best te in the league tho. Lol. That's a stretch.
Lots of questionable qb starts have this weeks picks still up in the air.
Stafford, Carr, Mariota. Still no line in the Ind/Ten game.
And something smells fishy. Jkv is in the 3pm time slot with a west coast team visiting? 97% of the time that's a early kickoff and hurtful to the west coast team. Does the league want the Rams to succeed and become popular to justify them moving to LA?
Quoted from TheLaw:His original "Captain shitty for 3 quarters" is hard to shake.
Haha. Looks like niners just got screwed in wsh. Opp? Really??
Winston for TB is out with a shoulder. I guess cause Jay Glazer didn't break the story it's not Breaking News?
The more the nfl tries to define what a catch is, the harder it is to actually figure out what the hell a catch is.
Seems every week there's 2 or 3 calls that should be a catch and is reversed by replay or not even challenged.
Bell from pit gets unsportsmanlike penalty for punching the goalpost (ken norton jr style) for 5 seconds but the dopes in minny last week play duck duck goose for 15 seconds and that's ok? Come on nfl
Quoted from Pinball-is-great:So, now are we looking at Kap going to the Packers?
Ooof, I did not just think that and type that.
No way the Packers org/players would all rally around him as a united team.
Don't see any team signing Kapernick after he filed paperwork this weekend suing the nfl for collusion.
Gotta promote this again. It's so good if you like to gamble.
RJ Bell's Dream Preview on podcast 1. Pregame.com preview on tune in radio.
Week 7 pics should be available in a hr or 2. His pro better Steve Fezzik won a $55,000 parlay 2 weeks ago. They also preview college football Tuesdays. Great listen.
Back to back 4 and 0 weeks so I'll put my picks here and watch me go 0 and 4 
SF +6.5
DEN +1.5
LAR -3.5
CIN +5.5
Bonus pick GB +5.5
Good luck everyone!
Fuk the Cowboys what have they done? Niners suck but at least they try and keep games close. I'm money lining them at +320.
Cowboys distracted with jerry and his threats about the anthem. They still haven't played since his stupid comments.
Quoted from Dee-Bow:I'll call it now.. them cowboys are gonna spoil your tickets boys!
What a hypocrite. Did that ^^^ just for the publicity. Says he's going to be the bad guy and suspend anyone who doesn't stand? I'd love to see Dak and Dez kneel during the anthem and see if ol Jerry has the guts to stand up to his threats. What if half the team kneels? Are they going to forfit? Jerry needs to shut the fuck up and stop thinking HE runs the league. They did award the draft next year to Dallas so maybe that was his end game?
Quoted from Erik:Anyone who watched the entirety of the Browns Titans game deserves some sort of disaster relief
When the game came on I was so relieved to watch anything but the london game. Ughhh.
Why doesn't fox leave the game when it's a blowout and cut to something else? Tb/Buf was good as was the rare fox afc nyj/mia game.
They beat the niners. Big whoop! Everyone does. They still suck
Only lost $20 so no biggie
Quoted from Dee-Bow: How bout them cowboys dirk?
Quoted from jesster64:TD celebration game of hide and seek. are you kidding me? whats next, team peekaboo?
Missed this. Who, what?
One my wife liked a few weeks back was a offensive lineman went over to the corner of endzone and made a basket with his hands while someone shot it like a basketball.
The league should do more wire cam during the broadcast. Really get to see the play unfold. More fog!
Quoted from SteveO:Another London game today. Are they playing a game in Mexico again this year?
I think Pats/Raiders will be in Mexico this year.
Bucs are awful. Woof.
Usually teams fire their coach when the team has a bye week. Bucs have no bye week this year. Think he survives?
Quoted from Topher5000:Frakken 0.5 point kept me from winning $100! "Hey, lets try to be cute & go for 2 in the driving rain!"
Aholes.
My neighbor bought his ticket the day before & had a 5 point spread so he got a push. Lost on NO though.
You must be betting online? Sport select had Atl -4.5
I had the Jets
Turned out to be the best early game I watched even tho I lost my bet
Quoted from Topher5000:Frakken 0.5 point kept me from winning
Welcome to sports betting. Happens a dozen times a season. Every now and then it goes your way and you're searching thru the trash for a ripped up ticket you thought had lost but ending up winning on a fluke play.
What shitty news. Hou rookie QB Desean Watson tears his acl in practice.
I like watching young breakout stars and he appeared to be the real deal. Afc south just got interesting again.
Man, one less star to cheer for on Sunday
I think famous Jameis's pregame speech trumps them all in worst everything. Licking his fingers and asking guys who wants to eat a w? Wtf?? Lol.
Half the guys around him are thinking the same thing. Like really dude?
1 week later
Also never helps betting all favorites. Lions actually covered the -13. Won by 14
Quoted from TheLaw:Betting NFL is tough as everyone knows and I'm not trying to get in your business, but I'm going to strongly advise you stop betting on the Lions Every game is a "trap game" for them.
I've been gambling for 25 years on sports and was a 75% favorite bettor and had decent results for 20 of them. About 5 years ago I discovered pregame.com and now I'm a 75% underdog bettor with way better results. The best thing about it is it shows where all the money is being placed and by who (public/pros) Highly recommended!
Not sure if anyone else does this but is a great trick. Go thru the games and write down what you think the lines should be. Then check the actual lines and see where differences are. Good luck!
Highlights for me this week.
Seeing if the Rams are legit. 3rd easiest schedule so far.
NE/Oak in Mexico. High altitude.
Cap Sunday off with the Eagles curb stomping the crying Jerry's
This weeks picks.
Cin +2.5 @ Den
Cle +7.5 vs Jax
Lar +2.5 @ Min
Phi -3.5 @ Dal
Over 53.5 NE @ OAK
I like few road favorites this week which is always scary. Won't throw much cheddar on them
TB -1 @ Mia
Phi -3.5 @ Den
Bal -2.5 @ GB
KC -9.5 @ Nyg
NE -7.5 @ Oak (mexico)
If Rivers is out Buf +5.5 @ Lac looks tempting. Chi +3.5 vs Det and Atl +3.5 @ Sea also tempting.
Good luck everyone 
If anyone doesn't/didn't expect that the Pats would be at least in the AFC Championship, isn't paying attention. Love or hate Brady, he is the best player ever to lace it up. And Belicheck is the greatest coach by far. Nobody game plans and adjusts better then the hoodie. I'm just glad it's happening now in my generation and something to tell the nieces and nephews about, when I'm an old fukr
How dumb is the Mexico stadium where players have to walk up thru the stadium for 3 minutes to get to the locker rooms? Oh you broke your leg? Tough it up skippy.
With the chiefs stumbling lately everyone is still alive in the afc west. 8-8 division winner possibly. Watch out for the lightning bolts. Lol
Afc stinks. Might have a 7-9 wildcard team this year.
Nfc will beat up on each other in the playoffs and the Pats or Steelers will be rested
Since the afl/nfl merge in 1970 it's been Dal and Det on thanksgiving. In 2006 they brilliantly added a 3rd game. Thank god.
To me, I think of big ol John Madden when I think thanksgiving. Always had the mutant turdukin with 7 legs sticking out and the winning team mvps grabbing a turkey leg and taking a big chomp.
Cbs had the lame phil simms mom pie. Wonder what hookie gimmick they'll come up with for Romo?
Didn't think one scumbag, woman beater would make such a difference. Most overhyped team in the history of sports. It's been 22 years since they've even been relevant and they get talked about like they're the Patriots.
Make the world a better place. Punch a Cowboys fan, in the face
(Not condoning violence)
Quoted from Dee-Bow:They were a playoff team JUST last year
And? Every team makes the playoffs once or twice a decade. Well everyone except the Bills. Lol
Quoted from dirkdiggler:IND +3.5 vs TEN
SF +6.5 vs SEA
MIA +16.5 @ NE
PIT -14.5 vs GB
Haha. I suck 
Worst week this season.
Quoted from SteveO:I hate the Cowboys.
yes. Could have stooped there
Quoted from SteveO:Nantz would just retire.
Hello friends
Quoted from TheLaw:Cousins is not under contract with the Redskins in the off season.
Nor is Jimmy under contract with the Niners.
Yeah they both cash in big time! Redskins can't franchise him a 3rd straight year at 34mil/year.
Agreed! Scott Mitchell, Charlie Whitehurst, Matt Flynn, Brockinator, etc, etc, etc...
Quoted from TheLaw:Yeah biiiiig bucks coming. Jimmy G is the standard NFL debacle waiting to happen. I love how he comes in and throws a total trash time TD and everyone agrees "he's such a professional"
Seriously every time with back ups.
Rumor has it that Peyton is going to take over the Browns. Why I have no idea. Maybe get little bro as his qb?
Plain and simple, giants management are tanking for a better pick. Geno guarantees they won't win another game and if niners win another game they're getting the #1 or #2 overall pick.
Rumor has it Brylcreem Mcadoo is getting canned today.
Archie said Saturday that Eli just might retire instead of playing somewhere else. I don't see it.
Dude, who cares? I say stupid shit all the time. Lions shit the bed. Big whoop. Move on.
Aren't you a cowboys fan anyways?
How good even is Eli anymore.? It's not like the Giants have been good in years. 2011 is a long time ago. Now that the niners won, the Giants seem to be a lock for #2 overall pick.
Think the Browns will go winless? They play Chi on Dec 24. Best chance for a win. Chi doesn't want any more wins. I think Den is the same. Don't want anymore wins. Already lost 8 straight.
Holy crap! Did anyone else just see that? Shazier lowering his head?
I immediately thought that a dude just got paralyzed. Then they showed the replay. Yuck.
Quoted from TheLaw:Has Jon Gruden ever seen a penalty on MNF? If the goddamn tuck rule happened now on MNF he'd complain
EDIT: Of course whilst I'm typing that he saw one...touche` Chucky.
You'd think he was still coaching the way he complains of penalties. Since Torico left mnf is getting to be unwatchable with the volume on. What happened to the "this guy" and "man, he's great! He's just a football player" Chucky?
I hope he goes back to coaching so I don't have to listen to it anymore.
Quoted from Dee-Bow:Cowboys win out and Seahawks lose out (somehow!) They play eachother yet! Cowboys sneak in with the final wild card spot at 10-6 ! There, i said something even dummererer!
Hehe 
2 giant kick in the nuts today topped off with a $739 ticket loss on the last play of the Eagles/Rams game. Meaningless td ruined my 3 game tie parlay
Jacksonville fans are bums. Throwing crap at a player is a total dirtbag move. Although it was funny watching Richardson from Sea get hit square in the face and then trying to get in the stands.
If he wasn't so fat he probably would have gitten in the stands. The little security guy or sea coach climbed that wall like spiderman
Quoted from TheLaw:God I know I wanted this one so bad.
Well shit. Reports have Wentz out for the season. Had a great season going. NFC just got more interesting and easier for MIN, CAR/NWO, LA/SEA
Hostetler came in for a injured Simms and won a super bowl. Odds are it ain't going to happen but eagles defense is pretty solid. Ive been hearing they should go after Romo. Jerry would have a stroke if Romo signed with the Eagles. Make it happen!
Haha. I thought the same thing when I heard Romo's name come up but instantly thought of the crazy ol man trying to sue cbs for breaking his contract
Quoted from TheLaw:haha that is literally the dumbest idea I have ever heard and is just awfull.Wait sorry i was too harsh I take it all back MAKE IT HAPPEN!
A few lines are confusing this week. Keep in mind home field advantage is typically 3 points.
Chargers are favored by 1.5 at the Chiefs?
The Cowgirls are favored by 4 at the Raiders?
Also the 49ers are favorites against the Titans? Is mariota out?
Marvin lost the flash drive with the compromising photos on them
Quoted from TheLaw:can't even imagine why?
Ouch! Shithawks getting their asses handed to them at home. 34 - 0 at half
Hey Fox. BREAKING NEWS, we get it. The vikings made the playoffs.
Ben tried to get cute with a fake spike and bit him in the ass. Hahahahahahaha
Why didn't they spike it, kick a fg and go into overtime?
Major fukn chokejob. Just cost them the afc most likely.
1 week later
Tanking for playoff seeding alert!
Rams open up a 6 point favorite against 49ers. Line quickly drops to 3. Then coach announces he's sitting the starters and now 49ers are 3 point favorites.
Rams lose and get the fourth seed and avoid going to Minnesota in divisional round.
Black Monday tomorrow.
The following teams are expected to be looking for new coaches
NYG
IND
CIN
CHI
ARZ
TB
Teams that might make changes
DEN
OAK
TEN (if they miss playoffs)
DET
CLE
HOU
WSH
Teams that should make changes, but won't
GB
DAL
Quoted from TheLaw:Ariens leaving is a little bit of a shock. But it is an old team and probably needs rebuilding.
I think he's retiring.
Gruden on mnf has run its course. He'd be crazy not to take what's rumored to be offered. 10mil/year and part ownership of the Raiders.
Patriots are 5 for 6 when the #1 seed. If they don't get upset in the divisional round, they own the Steelers and should roll to BradyBelichek's 8th super bowl appearance
Kudos to the nfl for setting up the final weekend the way they did. Put all the meaningful games in the late time slot. Made for a great last full weekend of football.
Was it just me or did Carolina look broken? A couple weeks back I was saying the panthers were a dangerous team to contend with in the nfc. Now they look like a easy out for the Saints
Panthers at Saints 3 should be best game of the wildcard round. Billa at Jags will be both weird and cool to see. Can't wait for the divisional round in 2 weeks.
Early lines for wildcard weekend
Chiefs -7.5 vs Titans
Rams -5.5 vs Falcons
Jaguars -7 vs Bills
Saints -6 vs Panthers
I think it would be a curse to play a super bowl in your home stadium. If you lose the game you'll be reminded of the game 8 times a year and would just hang over a team.
Also would be weird to be in the visiting team locker room and on the sideline cause AFC is the home team this year.
Rumor out of Indy is they're going to go hard after David Shaw out of Stanford to team him up with Luck. Harbourgh is another candidate but don't see him leaving Michigan yet.
I don't think it matters as I think Luck is damaged goods and will never be as good as he was when he started. Wilson is leaps and bounds better which would have been blasphemy talk 5 years ago.
Quoted from CrazyLevi:Yeah, Luck is probably finished. The curse of the 2012 draft.
Maybe he and RG3 will open a car dealership or something.
Haha. Or a Subway franchise.
2012 was pretty good. Wilson could be a future hall of famer. Cousins has been solid. Case Keenum and Nick Foles are both starting qbs in the playoffs this year. Luck still has a year or 2 to prove himself. Not sure about Tannehill but he does have a hot wife. Actually 2012 was probably one of the better qb drafts in a while.
Quoted from Ronnie1114:At least there was 1 good qb to come out of the 2012 draft class...
Brockinator?
Marvin Lewis gets 2 year contract. Haha. Typical bungles.
Carson Palmer announced his retirement also.
My favorite debate of the year is here. The 15 finalists for the pro football hall of fame were announced last night.
Who's your picks? You can only choose 5.
LB Ray Lewis
LB Brian Urlacher
RB Edgerin James
WR Randy Moss
WR Terell Owens
WR Issac Bruce
S John Lynch
S Brian Dawkins
CB Everson Wells
CB Ty Law
T Tony Boselli
G Kevin Mawae
T Joe Jacoby
G Steve Hutchinson
G Alan Faneca
My five to make it are:
Lewis
Owens
Lynch
Hutchinson
Jacoby
They typically don't stack positions so I think urlacher and moss will have to wait a year although both are first ballot hof worthy.
Quoted from SteveO:I'd like to see Tony Boselli make it in the Hall. One of the good guys in the league. He does a lot for the community here.
He was dominant but for a short period of time. Davis making it in last year helps guys like him.
If you wanted to argue Urlachers side I'd say he didn't have the supporting cast around him the way Lewis did. Ed Reed is a top 3 all time great Safety and one of the best defenders in history. Nagta up front was a beast and would protect Lewis. Bears didn't have much else. Tillman and Briggs for a couple years but neither are all timers.
Both player's deserve to get in however they don't stack positions often. Sapp and Strahan were same year eligible and they picked Sapp and made Strahan wait a year.
I think they'll make Urlacher wait and take Lewis this year. But again both great players. Have both their jerseys still.
Quoted from Erik:That Titans money line sounds outrageous. I don't expect the Titans to win but this is a 2nd rd playoff game and the Pats have a terrible defense. I'd say +350, conceding I'm a homer.
I also think if the Jags don't let Bortles throw they will win. And imo Jags are a terrible matchup for the Pats. They should all be Rosselberger fans this week.
I justed grabbed the money lines off bet365 this morning.
Even tho I think the Pats will win I think at 6 to 1 I'd throw a bean on the Titans. Well maybe fity.
Quoted from Schusler:Let's not forget the 2001 Superbowl: Kerry Collins vs. Trent Dilfer
2 years later wasn't much better with Brad Johnson and Rich Gannon.
Championship weekend lines.
JAX @ NE
Jax +9 -115. +325 money line
Ne -9 -105. -425 money line
MIN @ PHI
Min -3.5 +100. -175 money line
Phi +3.5 -120. +155 money line
Quoted from o-din:I gotta wonder if a guy like Tony Romo, who I think is doing a real good job as an analyst, keeps pointing out those bad calls, will have to start looking for another job if he keeps it up.
Remember when romo would flirt with qualifying for the US Open? Do you think CBS will let Tony Romo call a golf event? The excitement and enthusiasm he brought to the nfl booth might translate over to the pga. As a long time pga fan Ive gone from watching almost every weekend to now watching the majors and a few other events. I think some new voices that aren't ex golfers would be refreshing.
Early Super Bowl lines has NE favored by 5.5 with a o/u of 47.5
Honestly don't know the Pats aren't at least a 7.5 favorite.
Just like all their other sb titles, they'll probably win by 3 
Best bet: Pats moneyline -210
If we're talking best coaches of all time Bill Walsh has to be near the top of the conversation.
10 years as head coach of the San Francisco 49ers
3 Super Bowls
And creator of the West coast offense and the Niners were nothing before he showed up!
Vegas insider RJ Bell is reporting that someone placed a 8 figure bet on the Eagles and has dropped the line 1.5 pts
Patriots are the evil empire of football. Love em or hate em, you tune in to see them win or lose.
It would have been a ratings disaster if the Jags made it, imo.
The stupidist thing the NFL does it has All Star reffing crews during the playoffs. They put refs out there who have never called a game together. Makes no sense.
Some guys are just backups. Being a game manager doesn't keep defensive coordinators up at night. Foles and Keenum are backups next year I think. Foles should stay with Phi. I think Keenum follows Shurmur to NY.
Sounds like the Redskins are considering franchise tagging Cousins a unprecedented 3rd time for a whopping 34 million next year 
1 year later
Man, what a bad beat. Needed both games to finish within 3pts and the under in the pats/titans. Paid $250. Fukn pick six blew that up. FAAAACK
There is ZERO chance Kraft will let Brady play for another team. Bill might want to move on but not like that have a Jimmy G on the roster currently. The lack of weapons really showed the past couple of weeks. It will be interesting when free agency begins to see if they spend on a wide receiver or tight end. Will go a long ways to seeing if Brady will be back.
Do you really think Joe Burrow is the real deal? A transfer that landed on a great LSU team? I'd be surprised if he was the number one pick. I don't think any of this year's qb prospects are the truth. Tua from Bama is injury prone. Randy Pink Floyd from Oregon has the size and arm but the league seems to be changing to drafting mobile qbs with rocket arms (Mahomes, Allen, Jackson, Murray) The days of the 6'5" 235lbs pocket passer are dying. And there's a dozen free agent qbs to hold the fort.
Maybe the Bengals will draft the Ohio State stud Chase Young and grab a QB in free agency? The Niners are in a way better position drafting Nick Bosa and Young is even a better prospect.
Does it really matter anyways who the Bengals draft? In four years they'll be in the same position anyways.
It's the same four or five poorly run teams routinely at the top of the draft. The league needs bottom feeders.
Quoted from RWH:I'm still holding out for a SF/Ravens Super Bowl 2020!
I'd sign up for this. Niners at the ravens was one of the best games all year even with Kittle out for the Niners. They were also the first defense all season to beat up on Jackson. After the Niners game, Jackson stopped running as much.
Brady is hoarding the where will he play next season talk but what about Brees? He's a free agent and can't throw deep. Retire? Brees to the Chargers? Talk is Saints are considering moving on.
Agree. Lincoln Riley would be crazy to leave Oklahoma for the NFL. Apparently the Giants were interested in Rhule but Carolina didn't let him out of the building
Quoted from Deaconblooze:I thought he had just said he was going to stay at Baylor. I guess that's nothing new, but damn, if I were ever to get a job where I'm revered at ANY college program, I'm staying for life.
Quoted from CrazyLevi:Could be wrong but I don't think David Gettleman has any idea what he's doing.
They've been bad for a while, a churning through coaches like Kleenex, and despite continued high draft picks are showing no improvement.
Why, cause they hire a head coach who's never even been a coordinator? Lol. They never should have drafted Barkley that high 2 years ago. They're going to waste his best years without contending for anything.
Did you read Brady's exit speech?
Could anyone see the Titans as the team he goes to? Vrabel is the coach. Good D. Good running game.
Chargers because of LA but they're not that good of a team. Because they're always the most guys on IR team maybe the TB12 method is their ticket?
Quoted from o-din:Yes. It was actually one of his better games. But he could not top Marino's 403 yards and 5th touchdown in OT that day.
Still to this day the best NFL game I have attended. But there have been a lot of other great teams that came in to beat the Rams that I also saw.
Go to any any 80s Niners blowouts? I miss the days of the Niners feasting on the Rams, Saints and Falcons.
Nothing about it on NFL.com espn.com. CBS sports.com Twitter...
A NY newspaper trying to make headlines? Shocker
Quoted from dirtbag66:Here to talk about football, just like you.
As for the downvotes, all I can say is sometimes the truth hurts
Or you say a lot of really dumb shit that no one agrees with. Lol
