NFL discussion & predications thread rev

[rdbase]

So yesterday was another wild one for the Sunday matches with the Detroit Lion having that very last call of the game being overturned from a touchdown all because the referee's decision to end the game and not give them the chance to accept or decline the OPI penalty.
There was still time on the clock but they did not bother to look at that and just decided to end it.
Total confusion from every sports show commentator who witnessed this abrupt ending to the match.

As for the other matches, they went as intended with the Chiefs losing without Mahomes, Jacksonville winning with Trevor Lawerence doing what he does best lately and the Patriots beating the Broncos.
Had all of these games correctly predicted in the Pick'em pool for this week 16 and only had 2 missing in my predictions.

Tonight is the final game to close this week out before the Christmas break, then there are three games being played for TNF.
For this MNF we seeing the San Francisco 49ers vs Indianapolis Colts

For the 49ers wide receiver Ricky Pearsall and cornerback Renardo Green both are reported to not play and are on the IR but Brock Purdy is playing so he should be enough for Philip Rivers and the Colts tonight.

I also watched the Lions game go down to the wire and thought they had it at the last second until that unfortunate flag by the ref killed the play and gave the win to the Steelers.

The Ravens' somehow went down too after they lost Lamar at halftime, and the Patriots managed to pull off a comeback win after trailing by 11 in the fourth quarter.

Your picks are on fire and I saw your name at the top tied for first place along with three other users.

My pick is also on the 49ers for tomorrow's MNF. Despite the Colts keeping it competitive against the Seahawks last week, I still think they're in for a shellacking since the 49ers always win their games by double digits.

Let's hope we are on the right side of this prediction you have and the 49ers cruise through this game covering the spread. Which I didn't think it was that high on the Sleeper app.
But noticed the lines have shifted since last night when I put in my bets for this Monday Night matchup.

Many are saying that it will be scripted for Philip Rivers to make a masterclass performance playing a few more times with the Colts for his story to conclude. So Hollywood can make a movie about it all for next year!
Am hoping for atleast 2 interceptions off of him for tonight and Purdy having the masterclass performance.

[ralle14]

It looked worrying when Rivers and the Colts started hot on their first drive, but the Niners didn't hesitate to answer back, and it only went downhill for the Colts after their special teams turned the ball over and gave the Niners the lead.

You're also on point with the two interceptions, it's just that the other one came from Purdy.   I guess that'll be the last time we see Rivers play again since there's no reason to play the remaining games now that their playoff hopes are over.

Think they had already announced that Philips Rivers will be starting in their next game against the Jaguars.
Guess he wants to go out on his shield as they eluded to while he was losing in his last game and it would just add to his long career notable accomplishments anyways.

3 christmas NFL games today-


But a really rare sight as atleast 3-4 starting QB's will be relatively new on such a big day

Really makes betting NFL today much more hard as anyone of the new QB can crumble or show up big time

That's probably why i've been seeing a bunch of bettors pass up the remaining weeks and wait until the playoffs start.

On the other hand, the pick 'ems are easier to call for these three games since the lines are too good for every favorite when they're only sitting at -4 or -5 points despite the mismatch.

well those were some shit christmas NFL games, nobody liked them

Broncos barely beating chiefs is such a joke lmao

Even Lions didnt do anything and turned ball over like 6 times.
Man ALOT of NFL fans wouldve been pissed after yesterdays games

Thats probably a good day to prove that NFL doesnt rig games cuz no way they would write a script like yesterday christmas day lmao

Very much hated how the last two games went last night for the pool.
Had 2/3 correctly selected but that Lions game really got me upset.
With having 6 turnovers in a game, a team with those kind of numbers can not expect to win the match.

So we have a break today in the NFL and I think the fans really need it after yesterday with all those third string qbs rolling over the veteran ones like that where it should of been the other way around.

So on slate for tomorrow are the following games being played midafternoon and into the evening:
Texans vs Chargers
Raven vs Packers

True, every underdog covered, and despite the difference in QBs, all the games still came down to the wire.

Raven vs Packers

I was also surprised by how the Lions struggled throughout the game but at least I got something out of it after putting the small bonus I got from Shuffle on the Vikings late in the fourth.  



I'm not betting on those Saturday games, though I do have the Packers and Texans to cover for my pick 'ems.

On the NFL teams who are left on the hunt, what are your predictions on the Baltimore Ravens? Does Lamar have the chance and the luckiness to bring his team to win on the last 2 weeks to enter the playoffs? I am very much thinking if I bet on this 10% rating. A bet of $100 can win $1000!

Sounds like a promotional advert for fanduel they run during the commercial breaks.
Just kidding of course.

If i were to bet but am on the side of @ralle14 and just going to let me pick'em selections ride for these ones.
Going with the Green Bay Packers on this one. Since Jackson has been prone to injury and imagine he won't been in his best shape this game as he has been suffering from several leg injuries throughout the season.
As for the Houston Texans, I'll be siding with them to cover against the LA Chargers.
Since CJ Stroud has always been lethal and hard to bet against.

I'm still doubting the Ravens on this one since Lamar is out for this game, and even if he plays, he won't be in his peak playing condition.

The simulation gave them a 34% chance if they somehow win their last two games, but they'll still need help from the Browns and force the Steelers to lose their last two games to bump it even further.

If I have to put money on any of those teams, it'd be the Panthers or Bucs, as their fight for the final playoff spot is more realistic.

Ravens even without their first string quarterback just destroyed the Packers with homefield advantage in Green Bay last night.
Couldn't believe Henry had all those touchdowns so they just mostly relied on him running into the endzone and scoring. Think he ended up scoring four because I stopped watching when they said he had his third.
I had the under 45.5 points on my betslip for this match along with a Texans win.
Think they ended up with 65 points, which nobody thought was going to be such a high scoring game. Having those two quarterback replacements being in for both teams.

Today's match that I am interesting in watching are these ones:
Jaguars vs Colts
Patriots vs Jets
Eagles vs Bills

[ralle14]

Ravens even without their first string quarterback just destroyed the Packers with homefield advantage in Green Bay last night.

I also can't believe how the Ravens locked that win, and i'm glad I had no money riding on the game. They're just spamming run plays on every drive, and it worked so well against the Packers' defense.

I'm looking forward to the Jags game as well. The sharps are still putting their trust in the Colts, but for me, this could become similar to the Niners game from last week, and see another double-digit win from this hot Jags team.

Both of us had our bets riding for this same matchup today from the 10 others being played at the same time.
But it was not fun for me watching this game because Trevor Lawerence kept allowing Philip Rivers and Colts back into the game right down to the last minute of the game.
Was quite surprised they managed to cover the -5.5pts and got you a win on your bet.

Had them on the ML and @1.44x it was certainly not worth it due to no passing touchdowns and that interception from the Jaguars.
Which I felt they were wanting to lose this game with all those mistakes made.

Good thing I slept through the game. I checked the scoreboard, and it must've been stressful to watch as they trailed through the first three quarters. 

The games I caught were the late afternoon games with the Bills spoiling one of my predictions by going for the two-point play in the last five seconds and failing to convert it.

Also, the Ravens' chances for the playoffs just shot up after the Browns pulled off their fourth win against the Steelers. 

[rdbase]

Buffalo not scoring a single point going into the second half in last night's game was insane.
They mounted a comeback but went for the two point convert instead of wanting to draw it into overtime was a very bad call on their part.
Chicago Bears almost pulled off the win against the 49ers in the last game of the night.
Came down to the very last few second of the match but couldn't get the touchdown and it was a good defensive play by San Francisco that ended it.

I was also surprised when the Bills gambled on that two-point play when their two touchdowns came from two QB sneaks at the 1-2 yard line. The momentum was already on their side during that fourth quarter, so going OT should've been no problem for them.

That SNF game from the Bears and Niners was insane. It started with a pick six from the Bears' defense, then it quickly became a shootout as both QBs dropping touchdown after touchdown.

I'm passing up on betting today's MNF, but I took the Rams to cover in the pickems. If only the Falcons hadn't lost one-sidedly against the Seahawks the other week, I might've taken their side over the Rams.

yea that was a crazy game, that kindof score usually mean alot of turnovers but it had only 1 TO i think

sucks for bears to lose a game scoring 38 points, very rare lol
