🏈🏈 The Essential NFL Thread 🏈🏈 - new poll every week

[ralle14]

Upsets keep coming today, Dolphins with a second straight win, 10.5 points underdogs in this one. I just tuned in for the last drive, Colts had a chance to win but Hoyer threw twice deep balls in double coverage instead of going for a 1st down. They had time and timeouts, awful play-calling if you ask me.

Anyway, how do you see the late game Vikings @ Dallas? O/U 47.5 both teams avg over 25ppg this season but without Thielen, i'm not sure if it's going to be a high scoring game. Cook had a subpar game last week with under 100 yards and zero TD.

Unexpected performance by the Dolphins I thought they'll collapse again on the second half but they're able to hold the Colts until the end. I was able to get the live odds at 2.1 to win the first half.

For the match later tonight the total moved to 48.5 now I took the over since the Cowboys have been scoring a lot at home and the Cowboys spread.

[Hueristic]

Looks like I'm the only one going for the Browns here, I think they get the job done later today and I'm also confident that they cover the -2.5 spread so I took that in a single bet. For my parlay I got the Browns ML, Ravens ML, Bucs ML, Saints ML and Giants ML. Two games are a risk in the Browns and Giants but I think they can both win and add some value to my parlay. Good luck with your bets!

I voted for the Bills on the poll, I bet the 1st half -1.5 for the Browns however hehehe.

@Hueristic. Pick the Cowboys to win 1st half hehe.

In any case, MVP candidate will play tomorrow hehehe.

Close but no cigar, are you going to double down on the second half?

[bbc.reporter]

@Hueristic. Hehe no more budget to risk for that game. I already placed my bets on the 1st quarter -0.5 for the 49ers tomorrow and the Celtics 1st quarter -1.

Well, we were all wrong after all, except for you! Was a close one.

Congrats on this win, even if you didn't get your parlay. I just won the under part of the bet, which was a little less than 50% of the bet... Going with SF tomorrow and playing it safe with -3.5.

I won a .03 BTC free bet at the Majestic 7 game at FJ...  I wanna use it to put some action on hand egg, any suggestions?  No pressure, it's free.

Wow that was definately an odd ff week.  Barkley definately the biggest bust of the week.  To his credit both the giants right and left tackle were both out for the game so the jets ends crashed all game and gave barkley no space.  I was a miss about Ronald jones too.  That td boosted his numbers to a nice rb1 option this week.

[morvillz7z]

I would still pick the over on the Cowboys/Vikings if i had to choose but I have Zero clue what the fuck is up with today.

Appreciate your input guys, got a nice little break off my losing parlays.

My fantasy teams were so-so this week, kinda annoyed at myself for not picking D.Henry and C.Kirk, both guys were on my radar instead i went with Singletary and Pascal. 5-0 TDs.

By the way, the snowstorm ending in Green Bay ranks high in this hectic Week 10.

Yeah kirk was a beast.  Aaron jones with another monster week too.  Leading the league in touchdowns, and I scooped him up in the third round off my draft.  Swing and a miss with kerryon johnson but that's the way it goes right.  I need 2.5 points tonight and I have the san fran defense.  Hopefully the score stays low enough for the 9ers to book me a win.  I'm right in the middle of the pack right now.

Shit, I didn't know that but would have rolled with him anyway. I thought him and Kupp were Match proof but damn was i wrong!

I'm glad I had Goff benched and after last night i'm thinking of just dropping him, but I did that with Dak and am not too pleased with that drunken rage cut.

Luckily i grabbed Cousins at the right time to cover my dumb ass.

Yeah, Kirk was a bit of a gamble (I benched Locket for him!!!) but it was a match made in heaven and Henry is just a beast with a line that is owning defenses so he is pretty match proof (or as much as can be).

And congrats on the Win!

Holy shit what kind of retards did you draft against!

SF's Defense is guaranteed 8 points per week at this point so you should be fine. that pass rush is insane and Bosa is having a all pro rookie year so far. but Wilson is the slipperiest QB out there so there shouldn't be as many sacks.


I'm going to go out on a limb and call the Seagulls to outright win this one tonight.



Ohh and here's a sweet thing about Kirk yesterday, I grabbed him off the wire when someone dropped him and cut Watson and the team i played picked up and played Watson against me.

I also think the Seahawks would win, 49ers might struggle after having a few missing players.  And for the totals i'm going with the under. They have to lose anytime soon and this match is probably the best chance for their streak to get broken.

Edit: Nevermind, Seahawks offense couldn't get some first downs.
Edit2: What a game by both teams so much ups and downs. I nearly had the under but both teams defense forcing turnovers killed the total.

[Hueristic]

Well that was quite the game! I thought we were going to see a tie for awhile there, especially when Wilson got intercepted on the one yard line in OT!

Damn, it was indeed a crazy game. I guess I can believe that SF's rookie kicker miffed that last kick so badly. I thought it was blocked when I first saw it, but nope, just a really shitty kick. SF had a lot of opportunities to win but squandered them. Shoulda, woulda, coulda. Have to give it up to Wilson for putting up a great performance tho. Despite his INT he was top notch.

With it going into overtime the bookies covered the over which was lower at 47.5 hours before the game on some sites while it shifted to 49.5 just before.
I just knew there was going to be an upset but if you took the outright it would of lost cause of going into ot. This is the reason why I dont like betting on the nfl. The game can end in a draw even if ot is played and no one scores. Which then the bookies will always win on these games and there has been just a few you could count on one hand alone.
The one thing I couldnt understand was in the first quarter on their first possession why the 49ers didnt go for the field goal but went for it on 4th and 1.
This could of had them up and possibly of won the game for them. Ah well it is over and nothing can bring them back their no loss record so far in the season.

Exact same thing happened to kansas city the day before with the game relying on the kicker to score a field goal to win them the game. But the place kicker screwed it up the first attempt then into overtime it was blocked.
This was the major upset which cost me alot and it just got worst after this for all the favorites I bet on lost over the weekend such as the cowboys and the lakers.

[bbc.reporter]

The Steelers are better in defense than the Bills. Why are the sportsbooks giving -3.00 favoring the Browns again versus the Steelers?

This game should be on the poll hehe.

Okay, well, the game will be over in less than 24 hours but the crowd spoke, so I will listen. The alternative matchup is pretty boring, Jets vs. Skins... 2 of the worst teams in the league.

New poll:

11/14
8:20 PM

[309] PITTSBURGH
[310] CLEVELAND

As was previously mentioned, line currently stands at -3 Cleveland.

I am agreeing with you here, sticking my neck out and going with Pittsburgh to win.

[morvillz7z]

Let's bump this since weekly poll game is in a few hours from now.

I totally forgot that Browns will have K.Hunt back after suspension for the game v Bills last week. I could have voted differently.
Hunt and Chubb playing together in the backfield is dangerous and might open things up for Landry and Odell. Steelers are hot, on a 4-game winning streak (forcing 14 turnovers in that stretch) and J.Conner is back, regardless i'm going with Browns to win this one.

How do you feel about O/U line at 42.5? It opened up at 40, i guess it jumped because of the news that Conner is going to be active tonight.
At 40 i had the under in mind, Browns at home are avg 18.2pts and Steelers away from home just 15.7pts. I think Browns will stick with worked well v Bills and run the ball, with Conner back, Steelers will do the same. CLE last week had 11 plays within the 5 yrd line with ZERO points. Isn't the under 42.5 the obvious choice here? On top of that, this a divisional game.

I would think that would be the obvious choice to pick the under so that's why maybe the over will hit   seriously I probably would hit the under on this one.  Pittsburg's and clevland defense will be tough to score many points against in this matchup.  Unless some crazy ays end up in tds I expect a 20-13 game something along those lines.  With clevland being hom I'd probably take them I think at the -3 line right now.

[Hueristic]

Tough choice this week, it's a toss up. If it was at heinz field i would pick pittsburg but its going to be freezing in Cleveland so that will factor. A lot of great players are going to be in this game so there is no lack of talent. I think the entire game will depend on what "Mayfield" shows up tonight so it's pretty impossible to call this one. I would not bet anything except maybe the under for the first half and I don't feel good about that either. I'm going to take a guess that the brown finally catch a win here at home in the cold.

Added: I'm surprised we have 75% of us voting Browns.

[vella85]

Tonight's game is tough but I have voted for the Steelers in the poll but for betting I have taken them to cover the +3, I would prefer the line to be at +3.5 as I think the sportsbooks have it spot on with the margin being a field goal. I know last week I had the Browns to win as I was the only one here who picked them but tonight I am going against them. Good luck!

Going from 2.5 to 3 to 3.5 is a huge difference.  They know exactly what they are doing and can see this being one of those 17-14 games.  I'm on the browns but if it was at 3.5 I probably would lean towards Pittsburg.  I cant see either team running away with this and will give clevland the edge being that they are home and on a short week.
