Oso planning to go pro
How the hell was the line for the Bills/Chiefs game only Chiefs -3.5? Opened at -3, I put more money on the Chiefs than I’ve ever put on one bet on Monday when they said Mahomes just had a "pinched nerve." Figured that line would balloon throughout the week. This team was 16-1 going into today, defending Super Bowl champs, and at home. And it's not like the Bills looked overly impressive last weekend.The Chiefs are a wagon. They’re the best team I’ve seen in my lifetime, and I wish Lenny had been right that there was a way to bet on them going 18-1 after they had lost to the Raiders.

Wow. Just wow.1. There was a way to make that bet, which I explained to you but I guess it went over your head.2. The Chiefs can’t go 18-1 since they have already lost twice. So the bet would have been a loser.3. Before tonight, the “wagon” that is Kansas City had scored a grand total of 15 points more than their opponents in their previous nine (9) games. Their largest margin of victory were 6 point wins over Denver and Miami. Included in their run were a 2 point win over Carolina and a miracle 3 point win over Atlanta. Going into tonight, I believe they were 0-9 ATS in their last 9 games. I may be wrong as they may have one “push” in that span. Too lazy to look it up, I’ll leave that to you. Bottom line: they may win the Super Bowl, but they haven’t been anything close to the best team ever this year.
You’ve got the best QB in the world and you’ve already picked Brady 3x. Go for it on 4th down. Of course there are no guarantees. Even the FG wasn’t guaranteed. As Sultan said, even if you don’t make it, TB gets the ball on the 8; let’s see how willing TB is to take chances from there.Go for it.But no ... kick the FG ... and never see the ball again.And now, Brady has won as many NFC titles as Rodgers has.
3 picks into zero points.
Look guys, we can bitch about the flag all we want, but our coach and HOF QB lost that game. 3 picks into zero points, and 3rd down was an easy run in. Plus not going for it on 4th down.If Rodgers wants to dip after this season, then that's fine.The worst thing about the entire season was that our #1 pick was inactive most of the season. What the hell.
I wouldn't have been mad if Lafleur went for it, but frankly your argument is leaning a little too much on hindsight.
Wouldn't shock me if #12 demaned to be traded or released, hey?
Rodgers said yesterday that had he known they would have kicked on the 8, he would have run the ball. I think he should have anyway. He likely doesn't get in but they are inside the five.
With three years on his deal, the Packers aren't releasing him. And with the amount of deadcap that a trade would cause, that is likely not going to happen either. A straight up Rodgers for Deshaun Watson trade would be kind of fun to think about though.I actually think you might see the opposite. Extend him a couple of years and throw some money at him now to lessen the cap hit later.But I am like Dish. I think we see one more year.
Apologies. For some reason I thought they won their game where they sat their starters in week 17. And I’m fairly confident they were not -14.5 or more at the Raiders, but I could be wrong. They were also up 22-10 and driving against the Browns before Mahomes had to leave the game.Glad the spread was -3 as of Monday. That was very easy money.
They weren’t -14.5 against the Raiders. That much you have right. But my recollection is they only beat them by 4 (35-31). Look, KC is a very good team this year. Maybe they’re peaking at the right time and will dominate in the super Bowl. But nobody who has paid any kind of attention would say they’re a team for the ages. Before yesterday, they hadn’t won a game by more than 6 points in two and a half months. And many of those squeakers were against bad teams (Carolina, Denver, Atlanta).
