NFL Sportsbet.io discussion & predications thread rev

[bbc.reporter]

@ralle14. Those were my predictions also, I should have also made that bet hehehe. I did not like the spread on all of the games in the divisional. The team I speculated that would cover the spread was the 49ers but they were behind for much of the game against the Packers and lost against the spread.

@everyone in this thread. On Lamar and the Ravens vs. the Chiefs, Mahomes, Travis and Taylor, what are your predictions? Will the Ravens' defense stop the Chiefs from scoring more than 10 points? I am quite certain the Chiefs' defense will have much difficulty on stopping the Ravens. This -3.5 spread on the Ravens might be an underestimation by the sportsbooks.

I also thought the Niners spread would be the easiest one because of their trends in the playoffs, but the Packers performed like they weren't a big underdog and still kept it close while having a couple of turnovers.

I'm still on the Chiefs and I like the extra points because the Ravens didn't look as impressive against the Texans. They only took over during the second half when the Texans' offense started to lose steam. I would easily be on the same side if they dominated from start to finish.

Thanks for the invite to this competition for the run up to the Superbowl.

Don't think you have alot who applied because some might think they needed to be participants on BOTH of the threads for NFL discussion.
It is either/or the way I followed from the OP of the competition.

I am going all-in for the Lions to take it away from the Swifties for the SB.
Blood flows blue during the winter and February is usually the coldest month of the year.

The weekend all fans have been waiting for! Divisional Championships  

Chiefs surprisingly are almost three to one underdogs up against the Ravens which are looking on point I must say. But I have faith in the Chiefs to make it past them today.
Decided not to go the mainline route so instead put in this betbuilder as it will a scrapy match so more points than the straight out win is the much better play:

If it goes into overtime, the referees will be on their side as they always have been in the past.

Will we see both heavy dog teams make it through today?

This Chiefs team is highly overrated imo, and it is perhaps the worst they had in Kansas in recent years. Chiefs with a subpar regular season with almost no impressive wins. Dolphins went with their entire defense decimated in the wild-card game. Key players like Mostert and Waddle played on one leg, not to mention the weather conditions. Against the Bills, it took a late fourth-quarter FG miss, Diggs dropping a deep pass in what should have been an easy touchdown, Bills also had two or three important guys on defense not playing.

Ravnes, on the other hand, have arguably the best overall defense. Last week against the Texans, a team that's shown they can score points in bunches, were held to zero offensive touchdowns, not sure if they even reached the redzone once. This Ravens' defense is no joke. They have no injuries, and Mark Andrews is back, which is a significant boost to their pass-catching game.

Not to mention Chiefs have to beat the Josh Allen curse:

Wild: No QB ever has won their next playoff game after beating #Bills Josh Allen 🤯

Gl with your betbuilder @rdbase! I've got the Ravens FH/FT at plus money as my main bet. There are some player props i like in the Lions/49ers matchup, will try to post it on time before the game.

Either way, it should be a fun evening of football. 

[rdbase]

Chiefs are not messing around here.
Kelce touchdown on the first drive for Kansas City and my prop for running yards aren't looking bad either already with 29 yards for Pacheco.
Now just have to see if Ravens respond with a drive of their own because with that 3 and out for their first drive looks a little concerning.
The lines for the O/U was at 44.5 right before the match so that went up.
Vegas seeing a high scoring match as it was 43.5 when I placed my bets.

Mahomes does it again as the Chiefs beat the Ravens and secure their spot in the Super Bowl.  

I missed the pre-live on the Chiefs earlier, but still took my chances on their live handicap (-6.5) during the half, and I have to say that i'm lucky that it cashed because the Ravens had a lot of chances to get a TD during the second half.



While checking the lines for the Niners and Lions match, I saw a bit of a leak going on.  

[rohang]

That was quite a Detroit way to lose the game, decent lead abd half time and they blow their chances to play in the superbowl
Even their coach apparently said that this was their best chance of a shot at winning the superbowl 😳

Detroit fans only get pain from their teams 😂

The decision to go for it instead of kicking to tie the game was unfortunate. They also did it in one of their previous matches, so i'm not surprised they went for the same risky play.

On the other hand, that second-half comeback from the 49ers was unreal and I saw their live odds shoot up by 3.00+ during the half thinking it was already over.

WTH?
The market was up before the game was done? Some leak there then.
They put up the teams before the game was done.
You heard about the colors of the Super Bowl meaning something too. Right before the divisional games were set.
Chiefs were in the big game way before week 18 was done then.
Conspiracy theories go hand and hand with these sporting events I think.

Dan Campbell the coach of the Lions made some major mistakes. Two field goals would of sealed it but he is who he is and went on 4th down. Both times!
Those tactics can be made during the regular season but in an elimination game?
Never leave points on the table.
He had a gambler mindset even into the post season and it cost the entire team to make it threw to the Super Bowl.
The shocker of them all blowing a 17 point lead.
And it all started with that bonk off the helmet then it went downhill quite quickly from there.

Dan Campbell might be convinced that everything in this world is only a simulation and he wants to coach the NFC championship game very much similar to how he plays his NFL video games heheheee.

However, I want the 49ers to be in the superbowl. Patrick, Travis and Taylor should have a very difficult game and maybe also lose it hehe.

[rohang]

49ers opened as slight favorites, wouldve been the play if they had comfortably beaten tigers but now its shaky

KC dont often get + odds so thats probably the play , gotta go with the nfl golden boy mahomes

[bbc.reporter]

@rohang. Agreed. In the most important game in the NFL and if I am forced to choose and make a bet with my life, I reckon I will hear my dead grandma's voice whisper in my ear and tell me do not choose Brock Purdy hehe.

Chiefs were in even before the game was done, some might say.
Are you so sure about who the golden boy is?
From the photos of the last game it could be Kelce as his big fan might disagree with you there.


@bbc.reporter Seems the majority of those who are betting on the Super Bowl are with you there.
Alot are on Purdy as he looked like he was channeling alittle of Lamar during the last game.
If that version shows up against Mahomes then the Chiefs will have a very tough task in taking the favorites down in this year's showdown.

Oh yea, taylor is probably the #1 famous person on earth right now

Sadly, so much that multiple deep fakes of her starting circulating on X and they even blocked her name searches

Even congress is pushing for criminalisation of such deep fakes-

Superbowl Incoming!
Taylor Swift?
How about the UFC 300 which had been on the blast this week, trending on social media, and conspiracy theories coming left and right because Dana White has not announced about it yet?
Well, there are rumors that he will probably announce it during a commercial for Superbowl.
Others say he won't do it because it is expensive, but it will be an explosive event so why not? We know the Superbowl is the biggest event where advertising is packed and it will probably cost a lot of dollars for Dana but I do believe it's going to be worth it. He just needs a perfect match that will make his fans look forward to.
“Not as Big as Taylor Swift Halftime Show” – Dana White to Announce UFC 300 Headliner at NFL Superbowl Is What Fans Believe

Here's a bit of fun.
Kevin Durant, Kawhi Leonard and NBA stars make their Super Bowl picks
https://www.nba.com/news/nba-stars-super-bowl-lviii-picks

Kevin Durant, Phoenix Suns
Prediction: 49ers
“It’s hard to go against Patty Mahomes, but I got the Niners.”

Kawhi Leonard, LA Clippers
Prediction: Chiefs
“The Chiefs, but I just want to see a good game. I like to see people be great. So I wouldn’t mind seeing some of the 49ers’ guys get it either.”

Karl-Anthony Towns, Minnesota Timberwolves
Prediction: Chiefs
“Kansas City. I think Mahomes is getting to the Tom Brady level where you can’t say he’s not going to do it. I always prefer teams that figure it out at the right moment, at the right time. The 49ers always have it right. I want the Eagles to win, but if I had to pick one – it’s hard – I’d say Mahomes.”

Devin Booker, Phoenix Suns
Prediction: 49ers
“It’s going to be a tough one. It’s hard to obviously go against the experience and the guys with the rings, but I’m going 49ers.”

Paul George, LA Clippers
Prediction: 49ers
“Going with California.”

Donovan Mitchell, Cleveland Cavaliers
Prediction: Chiefs
“It’s hard to bet against Pat. I’ll have to say Kansas City.”

Rudy Gobert, Minnesota Timberwolves
Prediction: 49ers
“San Francisco. Just because they lost a few years ago [Super Bowl LIV]. I like a cool story, an inspiring story. I don’t follow the NFL, but it’s always fun to hear the guys talk about it and I always make my prediction.”

Dejounte Murray, Atlanta Hawks
Prediction: Chiefs
“The Chiefs. I’m mad at the Niners beating my Seahawks.”

How about you guys? What's your pick?
I might go with the Chiefs and like Durant said, it's hard to go against Mahomes.

[rdbase]

I personally have been rooting for the Chiefs for a while ever since their win what seems like a month ago.
Being the champs last year they are coming into this as the underdogs ever since the odds were released by the bookies.
There are some cool facts about why I think they will win this year.
But will put those up later, since I'll let others put up their picks first so not to sway their selections.

[rohang]

Hard to bet against mahomes, but gotta go against him and the taylor hype. Feel like chiefs bein underdogs is trap by vegas to entice money on them

Anyone see the new about dana white announcement during superbowl halftime ?



Speculation is that it will be next fight for conor mcgregor at UFC 300

Here is one of those very things that has you rethink your pick on the Superbowl for tomorrow.
Kansas City Chiefs are undefeated at Allegiant Stadium ever since this happened in 2017:

@rohang
There was something about Dana White appearing in a commercial during the Super Bowl for Bud Light so people seem to running with this thinking he will announce the what this blow your mind main event announcement will be.
It could all be fud as we all know how the ceo of the ufc is at times.
But he does have a captivated audience watching regardless. So it is a win-win for Mr. White.
