I was pissed when the Bears let Kyle Fuller walk. He's doing a fine job in Denver. Fangio also has Bryce Callahan at Nickel over there who is finally healthy. The Bears have been weak there since he left.
    I dont think OBJ is or will get back to the receiver he once was. BOL with your plays buddy.peace_5

    passing on props tonight......CMC is insanely high at 141.5 -140  rushing/receiving ( which I'm sure he still covers but I'm not paying to find out )

     

    David Johnson rushing is 19.5?  an_roll_laugh       what happened to that guy ?

     

    Cooks is the only one worth looking at but can't trust Mills

    Johnson has 5 receptions thru 2 games in limited action. That's still more than Ingram and Lindsay combined. If the Texans are looking to get the ball out of Mills' hands early, we could see a lot more of Johnson than we've seen so far this year. If you can find a DJ prop for receptions at 2.5 I'd play it over in a heart beat. I can and did play a DJ over 3 at even money. I think a push is the worst case scenario.

    WK1 3-2
    WK2 1-0

    4-2

     

    If there ever was a degenerate TNF game tonight's the game.

     

    Anyone betting this game has a serious problem but I can't help but think that HOU probably wins outright.

     

    HOU +8

    Decided to make a small wager on tonight's game.

    Panthers D is legit, and they know they need to win this type of game to keep pace with TB, so doubtful they look past the Texans.

    How does Lovie Smith, or his employer, think that running the cover 2 is still a good idea? Someone didn't get that memo about 10 years ago

    Announcers blowing smoke up Darnolds butt ... I'm not that impressed. As BigD said, he had open receivers.

    Thought Davis Mills looked good.

    Panthers D is the real deal, although Jaycee Horn broke his foot. Hopefully McCaffrey isn't out too long. Those are two big losses peace_5

    Since most of the guys I talk to on covers have left the mains for football this seems like the place to ask, most know I have been a bartender for one of the big Hotel Chains, Hyatt to be exact, and in early 90s they built a bunch of Sports bars and I worked in one for 30 years as a Sports bar, 42 years total so I have watch up to 12 games a day with 27 TVs and bet on most of them over that time period. That is a shit load of games from Thursday to Monday night 5 days a week for years.

    Since my Bar got closed in March 2020 and still has not opened yet though they keep giving dates but I am fine money wise so this has nothing to do with money, but I am noticing that I am watching less and caring less about Sports, now we had no sports or very little when the Country was shut down 18 months ago for most of first year. Small baseball season with the young players that needed the money playing and with me being a Giants fan that has kept my interest in some Giants games but since before Allstar Break I have not watch much of any other teams at all and I bet the first football game and only watched the first half.

    Basketball I have not watched for 2 years now and not sure why as for viewing at home that was the sport I watched most or more games anyway but that leads to my question from a bunch of degenerate like me and that is HAVE YOUR SPORTS VIEWING HABITS CHANGED SINCE THE PANDEMIC?? 2020 really does not count since most leagues took off or played a short season so after the break do you watch and gamble same as before the shut down, I know I have changed alot in viewing and am curious if this is just me or has anyone else changed from Sports to something else.

    Thanks Guys trying to find out if I am in process of getting old and do not want to put the effort into rooting on my teams to win, I do have fun still acting like all teams that win are my favs.  new_angel

     I haven't watched the NBA for 7or 8 years, maybe more. And I don't miss it at all.

    Your fuckin Giants better hold on to that division, I have a Futures ticket on them. Dodgers won yesterday, rox up 5-4 bottom 9 with 2 outs and let them tie.

    @JEG53

     With the exception of the NFL, for the most part I stopped watching sports regularly about 5 yrs ago. It just lost it's significance in my life. NFL has always been my favorite, plus it's the only sport that I still bet on, which has a lot to do with it. As Sac said, I haven't watched an NBA game in a long time ... at least 10 yrs.

    Most of my friends who were once avid sports fans, are still fans, but they are what I call peripheral fans. They keep in touch with the results, but are no longer emotionally invested. I wonder if we all stopped gambling, how emotionally invested we would still be in the outcome of games. I'm not talking about your favorite team in your favorite sport, I mean every other team in every other game peace_5

    Decent spot to take the points , especially considering the BILLS have likely their biggest game of the regular season on deck , at the CHIEFS on SNF
