Opening night is finally here! Finally nfl off-season is officially over. Got the bucs heavy in this one. Dak coming off injury and first start back with his best olineman not playing. I can see some dust coming from Dallas. And we'll ypu can never bet against a Brady team especially on superbowl winning first ge of the year. Wonder how many past superbowl winners lost their first game. 🤔

https://www.nfl.com/schedules/LV - Buccaneers - TBD
LIV - Chiefs - Chiefs beat Texans
LIII - Patriots - Patriots beat Steelers
LII - Eagles - Eagles beat Falcons
LI - Patriots - Chiefs beat Patriots [1]
50 - Broncos - Broncos beat Panthers
XLIX - Patriots - Patriots beat Steelers
XLVIII - Seahawks - Seahawks beat Packers
XLVII - Ravens - Broncos beat Ravens
XLVI - Giants - Cowboys beat Giants
XLV - Packers - Packers beat Saints I was curious myself and checked the last 10. As it turns out only three teams have failed to win their opening game after winning the Super Bowl the year before. Anyway, i'm super pumped for tonight's game, i see the Bucs win by a touchdown in a high-scoring affair. The loss of Zack Martin is a huge blow for the Cowboys, but i still think they can manage to put points on the board. I'm considering a few prop bets but haven't made up my mind yet, the most likely play for me is Mike Evans Anytime Score. [1] Alex Smith 4 TDs
Tom Brady 0 👀 |

I don't want to be completely off-topic and further clog this thread, but i just wanted to clear a few things out quickly: - despite all of my reports, acquafredda was not banned for plagiarism. however, his alt account Karartma1 was (found to be doing the exact same thing). - acquafredda was reported for ban evasion the next day and banned. - user behind both accounts has produced a huge amount of plagiarized posts (around and over 100) since the start of the year...so i wouldn't feel sorry for cheaters. ps; please don't quote or reply to my post. |

I'm still not sure if i'll join or not since I want to save most of my bankroll for the live casino promo but good luck to those who are participating.  I was secretly hoping that Sb would make a season-long survivor pool or bring back their fantasy sports. Back in 2019, the DFS rooms would get 300+ entries every weekend. I'm not sure why they got rid of it, it was so much fun and dare i say popular.  As for the American Football Last Man Standing promo, it's a pass for me: pros: -more than decent prize fund cons: - locked to specific markets - weeks 1 and 2 are the worst time of the year to bet in the NFL - you don't win anything with your wager (odds of 1.01) Maybe if we were allowed to at least choose the markets and games ourselves... Anyways, i'm looking forward to seeing more NFL content and promos in the future. If you choose to participate in the Last Man Standing, best of luck!  |

There will be no match, the Brazilians are holding a training session instead. The Argentine players, from what i'm hearing on the broadcast, are being escorted off the stadium. When you think you've seen everything in football, CONMEBOL: hold my beer. lol The Brazilian authorities had enough opportunities to stop the four players and avoid turning this into a circus. Why wait until the match has started when Argentine players have been in Brazil for a few days already? |

And what happened in the case of @acquafredda, because as far as I can see this user is active and doesn't even have a signature ban? I believe i have 5+ good reports on him for plagiarism since January and roughly 15+ unhandled, both good and unhandled reports are exactly the same, worded and reported the same way. You are correct, despite all of my reports, acquafredda has not been punished yet, i doubt he ever will. Anyways, i was planning to have another run at him later this month since he has not stopped plagiarizing. This post from yesterday was stolen from here (don't ask me to format it because it takes time). Nobody is banned strictly because of "the rules"; it's always handled case-by-case, but almost always, plagiarists deserve to be permabanned. |

Texas also has a deregulated market that allows customers to choose their electricity providers and, more crucially, Texas leaders have a very lenient attitude towards fans of the crypto world.

In March, Morgan Stanley had instead established the first fund of its kind, the FS NYDIG Select Bitcoin Fund, which attracted nearly $30 million from investors.

Do they have disqualification by TV in South America? rules are slightly different there. Yes, they use VAR in CONMEBOL. Martinez was first shown yellow, after var check ref changed it to a straight red, and rightfully so. Ah, shit...this looks just as bad. As for the Premier League 10-day mandatory quarantine, that means Leicester City's duo Iheanacho and Ndidi, as well Man City's Mahrez would all miss the next couple of league matches as they all travelled.
Small correction, the 10-day mandatory quarantine is only for players returning from countries that are on Britain's red list. Iheanacho and Ndidi should be available for Leicester and won't miss time as they won't play vs. Cape Verde. source: https://www.bbc.com/sport/africa/58439722Seeking a fourth straight World Cup and seventh overall, Nigeria will be without Iheanacho for their next game however as Cape Verde, who drew 1-1 with Central African Republic, is on the red list. Mahrez, Mane, Aubameyang...i don't think any of those guys will miss time either, but it's annoying if you have set your FPL team and have to check the news for each and every one of them, just to make sure they don't need to quarantine. |

 Drafting Saquon in back to back days with my first pick, it's a make or break year not only for him but for me. "No risk it, no biscuit", right? I really need him to replicate his rookie year stats but that Giants team gonna suck, ahhh...i don't mind garbage time TDs though, i'm not picky.  Anyways, how is everybody liking their squads so far? I swear i had 30+ mock drafts completed in the last few weeks, Dak, Mixon, and Allen Robinson are making my roster for the first time...Lol I like my 12-team half ppr squad so much better, getting Diggs at 19, well below his adp/ecr, was amazing: allen, diggs, diontae, barkley, jacobs, firkser with pittman/j.williams or waddle at flex |

Did anyone watch CONMEBOL qualifiers late last night? Messi is extremely fortunate that he did not sustain a major injury following their match against Venezuela. He was this close to getting his left leg snapped in half after a reckless tackle, check out the video if you want:  image source: https://twitter.com/ESPNFC/status/1433590605238743043
I had a small wager soon after the red card on Argentina to win, as well as Peru and Brazil to score. Little did i know, the Brazilian side had so many absentees, almost unrecognizable squad, hell they even had Hulk on the bench lol. I forgot that all their Premier League players are not allowed to travel because of the mandatory 10-day quarantine if they'd to travel back. Lucky me, they scored one after the break and with 7/7 they've pretty much qualified for the World Cup next year. |

Does anyone have any tips/plays for today's World Cup qualifiers, i'm looking to add a few more tickets...? There's basically nothing to bet on until leagues resume in around 10 days, so we will have to make the most of those qualifiers, i guess. Halftime/Fulltime France + Austria @2.10 XFrance with pretty much the best lineup they can bring, i just cannot see them not have a comfy lead before the break. Sheriff may have qualified for CL groups but their national team is of very low quality, Austria should have a field day in Moldova. Norway vs. Netherlands BTTS + Portugal vs. Ireland Handicap Portugal (0:1) @2.65...matches start in about 45mins, give me your locks! edit;^ looking great at half time lol France 1:1 Bosnia Portugal 0:1 Ireland edit2;Portugal was on the verge of losing to some random Premier League benchwarmers, Ronaldo scored two late goals ftw but also missed a pen. Live bets saved my day...[ 1] and [ 2] |

So I was finally doing a bit of draft research and see that ESPN recommends this as the #1 pick:
<...>
That position rank 51 you see on his card is solely based on last year's stats, McCaffrey played in 3 games, hence the low rank. For example, Saquon Barkley's rank is 119, again based on last year's performance. You will be nuts to trade him, or not draft him at 1! Damien Harris 3rd down and goal-line opportunities:  |

The summer transfer window in Serie A is now closed, can't say anything interesting has happened today, though there are a few transfers that caught my attention in the last 24/48 hours: source: https://www.eurosport.com/football/transfers/2020-2021/transfer-deadline-day-august-2021-all-premier-league-la-liga-serie-a-bundesliga-ligue-1-done-deals_sto8507394/story.shtmlLazio Felipe Caicedo - Lazio to Genoa; Mattia Zaccagni - Verona to Lazio; Milan Junior Messias - Crotone to AC Milan; Tiemoue Bakayoko - Chelsea (played for Napoli last season) to AC Milan
Udinese Beto Betuncal - Portimonense to Udinese; Bologna Takehiro Tomiyasu - Bologna to Arsenal; Sassuolo Francesco Caputo - Sassuolo to Sampdoria
Juventus Moise Kean - Everton to Juventus; Cagliari Keita Balde - Monaco to Cagliari; Torino Josip Brekalo - Wolfsburg to Torino; Dennis Praet - Leicester to Torino Lazio replacing Caicedo and Correa with Zaccagni, don't think they have much depth up front if Immobile gets injured. Milan has added two solid midfielders in Bakayoko and Junior Messias. I like the addition of the Brazilian (who has a very unusual past, google him if you want to learn more), he and Simy pretty much carried Crotone last season. Sassuolo are keeping their core players except for Ciccio Caputo who is headed to Sampdoria. There were a lot of rumors and interest about Berardi in the last couple of weeks, but i guess nobody is paying +€35.00m at this point. |

Did they say why he is released? Afaik, Cam hasn't revealed whether he's vaccinated or not, if you get a positive test for covid, you're going to miss at least 10 days, and close contact was five days or something like that. Belichick is obviously not playing around...if the reason is, of course, that he could miss time during the regular season. Wouldn't it be better if they tried to trade him and get something in return, instead of just letting him go for nothing? |
