I question my decision on drafting Deshaun Watson instead of Trevor Lawrence for by qb1. I wish he is allowed his regular schedule of power massages before practice similar to when he was in Houston. It is good for the mind hehehe.

Watson is a SERIOUS gamble and I would not play him until he proves himself.

Just a bit of advice.

Why did you edit your post and scratched Massage Watson as a serious gamble? Did you get information making him a very lucky pick? I had the decision between Massage and Lawrence, however, why would the Browns make him one of the highest paid quarterbacks if he cannot perform as expected? They also accepted him despite the sexual molestation cases.

Massage for MVP!

I crossed it out after you mentioned your backup was Stafford and I checked the Waiver wire and you literally have nothing but gambles for choices.

Just to be clear, I was being sarcastic... Lions will suck horribly, that's a safe bet any year.

I'll take that bet.

Specify your definition of sucking not horribly and the amount you're willing to lose on this

Sucking horribly is definitely on the low side but I'll give you a break and make the terms not below 50%.

W-L 50%, so you're saying they'll have 8.5 wins or more? Ok, I'll bet on less than 8.5.

How many bitcoins?

LOL, I give you a break and you want to make it a serious bet?

I'll make one for beer money of over 50% but if you want to make a real bet then I'm not cutting you a break.

Sucking Horribly is WAY under 8.5 wins and you know that very well.

Alright lets talk some games this weekend.  I think I'm staying away from tonight's game, I just don't know what to expect..but here's the lines I like for Sunday..

-2.5 Bengals over Cleveland. I love the Browns this year, but Cincy is elite.
-5 Jags over Colts. Jags are on the up and up, colts...ehhhh
-5.5 Vikings over Bucs
+3 Miami over Chargers


These are the spreads I like anyhow.  Few others that I like, but I need to see a game or two from certain teams before I feel confident throwing down on them.

I don't like betting on games this early in the season either.  The team that finished top of the league last year could easily fall on the their faces this year.  It's happened so many times..  Tonight's game is almost looking like a trap.  Anyone who's paid attention would assume that the Chiefs are going to win, but then we all know the Lions are going to win the Super Bowl this year.

I'm riding that -5.5 vikings line they shoukd eat up the bucs.  I don't know what the over is for the Chargers and Miami game is but I'm taking the over no matter the spread.  As a true Homer fan I'm taking the giants ML in Sunday nights game and for tonight....

I'm taking the Lions Money line.  Lions are gonna give them a huge fight and think that kelce injury is gonna hurt. 

Go giants

@wheelz1200. Your bet is alive with the Lions leading by 1 point, however, the turnover on the 45th yard line with around 3:00 left will be a challenge. The defenders are doing a very good job, however. What were the odds for Lions moneyline?


Okay only 2:00 left in the game, the Lions has the ball. I want Patterson field goal from 30 or longer.

[wheelz1200]

Who hoo won the Detroit game.  It paid put +180 for straight money line.  Without kelce and the first game of the season I figured they would struggle.  The disappointing part of the game was how little theor weapons were used or were effective.  CEH, Pacheco were none existent, sky Moore was a huge disappointment.  We'll see once kelce gets back he changes the game for KC.  Hurts having jones hold out too.

Congrats, yeah that game really showed the chinks in KC's armor.

Their WR corp is a disgrace.

Lions re-signing Jones looks like a big fail as well as he could have easily lost them that game.

That was an exciting game, and I always love it when season opener is an upset.  Any given Sunday!

LOL, you got me for a second on this one I was like WTF???   

[nutildah]

For me, the tastiest game looks like Bills / Jets, with Bills @ -2.5. I'm just remembering how awful Rodgers did in his opening game last year; now you put him in a new organization and up against one of the league's best teams... I should have taken -3 for some extra juice. Should be a pushover for Monday night.

Fantasy-wise, I'm compelled to root for the Eagles this year since I have 3 players on that team, Brown, Goedert and Rashad Penny.

-2.5 Bengals over Cleveland. I love the Browns this year, but Cincy is elite.

I also like this one. Line is currently -2 Bengals, might throw down on it.

That was an exciting game, and I always love it when season opener is an upset.  Any given Sunday!

Mahomes ended up putting up more-or-less exactly how many points he was supposed to, so I can't complain. However yeah, I should have had at least 5 more points from him -- it wasn't exactly his fault.. It will probably come back to bite me in the ass, we'll see.

The line for the Cincy Bengals vs Cleavland Browns moved again, now at -1.5 Cincy.  I hopped all over that one.  Also took the Vikings at -5 (which moved from -5.5).  Put another few bucks down on the Miami Dolphins at +3 over the LA Chargers.

I might end up betting the Jets versus Bills game come Monday night (heck of a Monday night game!).  I think that's probably a smart bet, brand new team for Rodgers, could take some time to start to click.

The dude abides.

I like the MNF game, but I'm tempted to put small bet on the Jets.  Maybe ML or +3.5, haven't decided yet.  Aaron Rodgers might be on a new team, but his connection with Garrett Wilson looks promising and he still has Lazard and Cobb.  New team or not, having familiar and trusted faces in the huddle goes a long way.  I don't think it'll take more than a few snaps before we see some magic from Rodgers and Wilson.  I'm curious to see how the O-Line holds up for him, though.

On the other hand, betting against Buffalo when it isn't snowing might not be the smartest move.  And I'm admittedly an AR fanboy so it would be wise to take my gambling advice as a shitshow on a popsicle stick. 

Previous performance does not guarantee future results, and I'm hoping that's a good thing.

I think the bills are gonna come out and wreck the jets.  I'm gonna team the line up to -6.5 I think on the Bills.  Too much hype the online is gonna piss Roger's off can't wait til he starts yelling at all of them.  I have to find the over under on wins, I think jets are gonna go something like 8-9 or 7-10.  I'm not buying the hype.

Bills/Jets or GB/Chi are the 2 games I'm most interested in this weekend. Wanna see what Aaron rodgers does with these young bucs as well as what Jordan Love looks like as a starter.

Jets could definitely be a bust cause we seen last year that Rodgers will punish receivers if they drop a ball or run a wrong route. Dude's gotta have some trust, but we will see how it goes. I also think the Bills have their own struggles with Diggs being a diva, I don't feel like that drama is at it's end yet.

I thought I would have one of the worst teams on week 1, however, my team is not performing that bad considering that Cooper Kupp is presently in IR. I am excited for week 2!

In any case watching this Cowboys more powerful defense to supplement their offense, the developing storyline will be from Dak to dominate NFC East, to win NFC and to fight for the Superbowl hehehe. This year's script will be about the Cowboys.

[DireWolfM14]

Pretty exciting weekend of opening football!  Glad to see the Niners are looking pretty good.  The Eagles and the Cowboys are rocking and rolling as well, but I really didn't expect such a fight from the Patriots.  Mac Jones looked like Tom Brady.  I had double check the numbers on his jersey when I watched the highlights.  

I thought I would have one of the worst teams on week 1

I was afraid my team was going to suck pretty bad week 1 also.  Despite being the second highest scoring team this week (so far anyway,) I'm still rather disappointed by my RBs and most of my WRs.  I'm hoping to get some traction on those positions during this week's waivers, but any move this early in the season is a gamble anyway.

Wait what? U r serious?  

37 pts by a Defense, more than impressive!
And Tyreek Hill will be generating points as fuck this season. He want to break the 2k yard line and if he is playing like yesterday he might reach that.

The cheetah is a cheat code with his speed, especially yesterday it was pretty impressive.
