I'm not touching the total on this game, ABN. I'm usually on the wrong side of 'em. But my mind was definitely saying "over."

I think the Chargers win due to their offense. If I'm the Raiders, though, I'd run, run, run. Daiyan Henley is active, but not sure how healthy he is. Maybe he'll be just as good as Becton was last week (playing with a stomach bug).

May the better team win. For everyone else, may it be an exciting one.

What I'm reading from X regarding the Chargers-Raiders game tonight.

The Chargers, already down Denzel Perryman (one of their best run-stuffing LBers) may also be out Daiyan Henley (their green dot on the field and arguably their best LBer, period). He apparently came down with some kind of illness. Not sure if it's a stomach bug or bad Las Vegas buffet food. While I expect the Chargers offense to carry over from last week, they might be a little shaky on defense.

Another thing I'm reading is that Brock Bowers will be listed as active, but will be mainly used as a decoy. So don't expect much from him, at all. Should be a low-to-zero snap count.

I'm wondering if this will go above the total.

A fun parlay that should hit.

Steelers ML + Aaron Rodgers o175 passing yards -125

YTD:  0-0

I'm undefeated so far.


Arizona/Kansas State o53.5 -125
Tulane ML 

It's still early, but wanted to do this anyway.

Some teams played at a level we all thought they'd play at (Panthers, Giants, etc...) so they are not listed above.

Ravens and Bills both played well during different periods of the game. The Ravens will still be a tough out no matter who they play. The Bills are one of a less than handful of teams that could've pulled that improbable comeback. And they still had to have something go their way to do that (Henry's fumble).

I added the Jets despite the loss because they actually looked better than last year. Losing to the Steelers isn't something to scoff at when you've changed leads with them several times and end up losing by 2 as game expired.

Dolphins are f***ed.

Broncos looked dreadful, but the Titans D certainly challenged them. I think they can bounce back after this, but let's see if the sophomore slump gets to Nix. Then it'll be a different story. I've left the Chiefs and Broncos off for this very reason. Both are talented teams on both sides of the ball, so not sure if their Week 1 losses move the needle one way or another.

I added the Cowboys because they looked good (to me, anyway) playing against the defending Super Bowl champs. And this is despite trading away Parsons. The Cowboys were a couple of CeeDee Lamb drops from stealing that one. I'd be simultaneously hopeful and pissed after that game, if I were a Cowboys fan.

I didn't watch most games, but followed quite a few with video recaps and box score staring. So feel free to challenge any of these or add any you think should be here.

That ending.

Bolt the kcuf up! 

That was a solid bet. I didn't think outside the box with player a vs player b bets, but this would be been a good one to tail.

Lol no

@Digitalkarma

How do you pin those big game losses in him? Defense crumbled.

As I was saying...

No he doesn't. I think he's second among QBs in leading 4th quarter comebacks since he's been in the league.

You're suffering from recency bias based on the Texans game. And 2 of those INTs weren't his fault.

Stop posting here and watch the damn Charger game, Hank.

Btw, good call on that TT over.
