It's snowing in Green Bay.

The winds are strong in Buffalo. This partly might have made the Ravens miss the field goal. Also, rush yards for the game might go over and pass yards might go under. NFL speculations from a casual fan hehehe.

Missed two now. This is turning out to be one of those doink doink games.

Edit: horrible luck for Ravens... oh well. Bills played great short-pass football tonight and the interception sealed it. Well done, wind be damned.

The one that Tucker made was so damn close of hitting the post again, 3/3 would've made him the new doink king (sorry, Cody Parkey).  


A little bragging time, i got my both bets right this time, very proud of my Diggs to score anytime prediction, if not for the wind, he was likely to score more than once, this dude is so good, both he and Allen have great chemistry together, awesome to watch. #Billieve  

Does anyone have any tips for today's two games? I'm rooting for Browns and Bucs to advance but probably not gonna happen, that's why i'm on the lookout for suggestions to perhaps tail.

edit;

I was considering total points for the Browns/Chiefs game as I imagine it would be a boom or bust game for Browns and their defense is kinda meh <...>

Points it is then, Chubb and Kelce anytime score @3.xx

I knew GB was going to wax the Rams. Goff has been regressing all year and Rodgers is obviously this years MVP who’s on a mission to silence all his haters from his last season struggles.  Also figured the same for the Bills.  So what did I do about these strong gut feelings ? Let my buddy get in my head and made no bets last night lol.  

So today gotta go with my gut..I do best personally when betting spreads and normally try staying under 7pts but I just can’t see the Browns being able to keep up with the future  🐐.  Only hesitation is Clyde Edwards being out. Does this injury scare you off ?

Bucs / Saints ..man, impossible game to call. Can’t wait to watch that showdown!!

SB prediction - GB vs KC  - KC back to back champs

Edit - now looking at KC vs spreads of late..I’m hesitating a bit. Haven’t covered I don’t think since the Jets early Nov. Tough one here.

I was considering total points for the Browns/Chiefs game as I imagine it would be a boom or bust game for Browns and their defense is kinda meh, but the current over/under at ~56 is quite ridiculous I think. So I'm sticking with Browns +14.5 and Bucs +7.5 for today. Which is to say that you should probably do the opposite

Confused by those spreads.. this is your prediction of final point total differential?

[South Park]

And just like that my SB prediction is wrong once again, who would have thought?

Anyway it is incredible how fast things can change in a NFL game, when the Bills scored a TD I was excited as the Ravens will be forced to answer quickly and it seemed they were on their way only for that INT to change things and create a 14 points swing, and then less than one minute of game play later Lamar leaves the game injured, at that time I think we all knew the game was over and it was a disappointing ending for a game that was very entertaining until that point.

[tyKiwanuka]

(...) for a game that was very entertaining until that point.

It was at least kind of close and if you like to watch good defense, which I personally do, it was one of the better games indeed. But in general the PO's bore the hell out of me until now. There wasn't one lead change after halftime and only very few even in first half (BUF-IND, TEN-BAL); some teams were able to tie in the first 30 minutes to make it 3-3 or whatever, zzzzzzzz. Every game is just a 1.01 train, I miss some drama

Browns seem to be no matchup for KC today, so all my hope is on Brees vs Brady later. If that is a one-sided affair as well, I will have to wait for Chiefs vs Bills

[mrob82]

I had Chiefs -6 FH, Chiefs -8 FG, FH Under 28.5, FG over 55.5.  Will probably split 2-2.

Those are my bets I placed about a week ago.


Can anyone explain the logic of not going for two when trailing by 16?

[mrob82]

Thoughts on TB/NO game?  I got NO -0.5 FH, NO FG -3 (+110), FG over 53, NO ML Double amount of other single bets (-132).

What an unexpected turn of events, with Mahomes out it feels like the Browns are about to win this one unless the Chiefs get a touchdown and burn some time here.


Edit : Just when they're close to the end zone they turn it over. Chiefs can't catch a break lol

*rushes to phone to watch game previously thought to be assuredly over*


edit: what a game!

Mahomes didn't look well when he got up. I hope it's just concussion protocol and nothing really serious.

Interception by Browns. This is their win or lose drive.

Edit: lose it was. Good effort by Henne despite that interception.

[morvillz7z]

What an ending that was, first Henne and his fearless drive and then Reid's gutsy call to go on 4th and inches, i mean nobody saw it coming. Congrats, KC!

Will Mahomes be available next Sunday, i guess not? Clearing concussion protocols usually takes more time...idk

[Hueristic]

I really wanted to see the Browns make it to the big game this year just because their fans deserve it.

Ya, I feel the same way. I have a lot of friends who have been Browns fans for a very long time with little to celebrate. I also have a close friend who is a KC fan though so I would have been happy either way. KC seems to have had much more recent success though, but oh well.

[suchmoon]

Brady vs Brees 1:1 so far (one TD against one interception that is LOL).

Edit: another turnover. It's going to be hard for Saints to win if they keep gifting Brady these touchdowns.

[mrob82]

That was brutal, Brees was not right all game - not sure what was going on with that. 

[DireWolfM14]

Me too, I would have liked to see them go all the way.  They played hard today, no shame in that loss.

Edit: another turnover. It's going to be hard for Saints to win if they keep gifting Brady these touchdowns.

Four turnovers as of my writing this, it's not looking good for the Saints with two minutes left.  Looks like Brady has to win at Lambo in January if he want's another ticket to the superbowl.
