    I respect you sir as a longtime poster, and like to look for your picks over the years, however after watching games for many years, something is sure going on here. Since when do teams up by only 3 TD's just mail it in, with 10:00 minutes left in the game, and hand off every damn down, and also take the clock down to 2 or 1 before each snap? I see teams do this of course with 4 or 3 minutes left, but not 10. And don't kid yourself, the way Betting is everywhere now, on commercials, on TV shows, and advertising. You have no idea how much money was on last nights little shit Thursday night game. Thats being naive. My grandfather used to always say, where's there's lots of money involved, usually something crooked is going on. It's just the way things are in this world, and it's never changed or will. I also feared this a few years ago when you started seeing FAN DUEL, and BET 365, and all these states legalizing sports betting, it's just getting bigger and bigger. So many people are betting now, and this is what we get. Just my opinion, doesn't mean it's right doesn't mean it's wrong, but I wanted to share.

    I can see the coaches speech at halftime.

     

    OK fellas we see Covers is heavy on the Over tonight. So lets run and run some more. Take it down to the one yard line and turn it over on downs. Throw an INT if you have to.

    I have won so many bets that I shouldn't have and lost many that were winners until shit happens. sleep2

     Just curious, who exactly is Vegas? And who exactly do they call? Is there a "RED' phone on side lines they call. This answer should be a classic

    Last night Michigan State kicked a fg with 25 seconds left down 31-7. That had Sparty covering the spread.

    I flipped a coin the other day. It came up Heads 8 times in a row. Can you imagine that?

    No scoring in the 4th Q? No fucking way.

    oh my
