@suchmoon. I have the game playing on mute while reading some bitcoin news. What happened?

The Browns will win this game if they make this touchdown. It is right now 4th quarter 7:00.

He went into the locker room complaining about "cramps". That's all I heard.

[bbc.reporter]

@suchmoon. It appears Lamar might play again. He is seen on the side being given his helmet hehe. Their running back might be injured, however.

In any case, touchdown for Ravens. They win the game.

And he does... 4th down... pass... TD. Wild game.

[bbc.reporter]

Wild game, yes! This might go to overtime!

[bbc.reporter]

@Hueristic. Agreed! However, it does not cover the spread for the people that gambled on the Ravens. The spread was Baltimore -3.5, was it not? I might be wrong.

The fans in the stadium gambled risk on the coronavirus for this heartbreak hehehehe.

[suchmoon]

The last 2 seconds (well, more like 20) should be made into a meme of some sort. Just beautiful.

Now they covered with that safety at the end. Brutal for those who got the browns spread. What a game though.

Fucking fantastic ending to a great game.  Wow, I don't even care that I lost my bet, it was fun to watch that mayhem that Lamar Jackson inflicts when he's on it.

Just watching the games and suffering in Patriots Hell...

Welcome to world of the 49ers' fans.  

HAH! Funny considering the scuttlebutt of Garoppolo coming back to Foxboro for 2021.
I really don't know if I want to see him back here or not but I'll take anyone over Newton!

Lol, yeah it's time, I think.   
Garoppolo isn't a bad QB, he's actually got a pretty damn good win/start record, but he's fragile.  He would be great behind a solid line, which the 9ers haven't been able to maintain.  And he gets rattled when the dice are down...  But other than that, he's great.  You'll love him.

I want the Niners to trade up and get that kid out of Clemson, Jeff Spicoli Trevor Lawrence.

[xxjumperxx]

Sadly didnt get to watch this game but that score! :O
I read the Gamecast and it was intense!

I think I need to watch this game on Gamepass, because it for sure seems like I missed some major action!
I decided to take a last minute Ravens -3 Bet before going to bed, was just hoping they would get this game done, but I was lucky to win it!

I need to watch this game, I mean if it ends at 47:42... Offensive Showdown!

I'm always on other 49ers forums and everyone is continually bashing Garoppolo because he is a "bad player" but when he's healthy, he's generally a well above average QB - he just has the injury bug.  Niners were smart to create the contract the way they did.  It's a pipe dream for us to get Lawrence.  I would prefer Zack Wilson, the kid out of BYU.  Killer accuracy and can evade as good as, if not better, than Lawerence.

Perhaps one of the more entertaining games of the year. That last play tho... I put in a small bet at +5 Cleveland minutes before the game started and it turned out to be a nailbiter. I don't blame them for trying to do what they did, but uh, they got a bit silly with it and did one too many laterals. So I went from a win to a draw, whatevs.

Here's the last play for those who want to see it:

Can anyone tell me why I repeatly bet the damn Jets?
Of course not the moneyline but I took the spread this time all the way up to +17, because I thought:
Hey they will lose this for sure, but they should be able to put at least a couple of points...

Oh my was I wrong...
Jets got destroyed, Jets have made it (finally) to my Do not Bet List.

I'd rather lose betting on strong teams than lose on betting on losing teams.  You are just hoping and praying they put up a fight that night.  While it takes an off night for good teams to throw up a stinker.  When you want to bet on a crappy team bet the over or under and at least if you are right or wrong you have a shot at winning.

Exactly!
I knew Jets would be tanking and dont want to win any games, which is ok. I just thought they would go out on the field and at least show some skill and just play a bit but I have been wrong multiple times.
Jets are terrible and I feel bad for the young college guys that get selected by the Jets and Adam "Im an Idiot" Gase.

Yeah seem like a dead spot.  I dont know if I'd want to end up on the jets or Jacksonville.  I guess the same could have been said about the Browns when they sucked for years.  They have a pretty good squad now.  Either way I'm sure fields and Lawrence are hoping so.e other team jumps up the draft and gets them lol.

Adam Gase will be out of the Jets as soon as he completes his tanking masterpiece, the fact that he has not been fired yet simply demonstrates the owner and the GM are happy with what is happening since they want to draft Trevor Lawrence, however they are so bad, and statistically speaking seem to be on pace not only to go 0-16 but to be the worst team ever to do so, that I will not be surprised if Trevor Lawrence begins a campaign to try to dodge them.

Could very well do that its been done before.  But hey if you are the type of person that's wants to take on the challenge, what a great city/team to do it for.  If they can simply turn the course of the team they would be praised for a long time

Raiders or Chargers?
Over or under?

Im leaning Raiders ML...
Im aware of the 2-4 Home record but the Raiders need to win this in order to keep their playoff hopes alive... The home games they had were Chiefs, Colts, Bills, Saints, Broncos and the Bucs... tough.
Another fun fact, the Chargers have lost every game where they were underdogs spread wise...

What is everyone else leaning?

[ralle14]

What is everyone else leaning?

I like the Raiders as well and for the totals i'm leaning on the over since both of them don't have great defense. After their loss against the Colts they have a slim chance in qualifying for the playoffs but they should still take down the Chargers. The Chargers haven't had a convincing win plus they're terrible on the road.
