So how the hell am I supposed to bet this loving game

It's somehow worse odds than a coin flip

I don’t want the chiefs to win but I only have one bet on the game currently and it’s chiefs money line lol. If Vegas insists on continuing to make Mahomes an underdog I will continue to take that action

Are the good prop bets out yet? To laugh at, not like I'm putting money anywhere near this game.

I tried looking in an app for the goofball props like Gatorade color but apparently they are illegal in my state. I’m sure they are out there though. I did see “will there be Scorigami” which is funny.

I enjoy betting on football but I’m not gonna get mad at anyone who thinks it’s dumb and bad. It’s fun to try and “win” off the stupid amount of time I spend following this sport (and then still be wrong anyway because someone important randomly gets injured on the second play of the game lol). I do hate how you cannot consume any sports content AT ALL without being bombarded with gambling ads and betting lines though. Give it the nicotine treatment, the people who want it will still find it just fine. The advertising is out of control.

I should also say I am playing with totally trivial amounts of money. It’s not about getting rich. It’s about being right :smugdog:

gambling should probably go back to being illegal and advertising should be outlawed or at the very least have the same ad restrictions as cigarettes but I still have fun doing it

Anyone who knows anything about football knows that the Chiefs will win, barring a miracle, but I guarantee those whiney fucks will get all emo about being underdogs and nobody believed in this young and inexperienced upstart team that came out of absolutely nowhere to shock the football world by making an almost statistically impossible playoff run that put Eli and Flacco to shame.

I hate that team full of shithead crybaby bitchmade assholes so goddamn much. Next time they're at Hot Topic buying Fall Out Boy shirts I hope the Earth opens up and swallows them all.

It came out at the NFLPA press conference today that the reason the 49ers practice field is so lovely is because they installed the sod incorrectly. They were supposed to lay down a hard plastic surface over the turf, then the sod on top of the plastic surface, but someone apparently forgot that step and they just put the sod directly down over the turf.

They’ve been working on this since December :eng99:

Back to Rivers for a sec, Kyle Shanahan said at some point in the offseason that if the Niners somehow had made the SB last year after Purdy/Johnson went down, he was gonna ask Rivers to sign and play that one game for them, which would have been incredible

At least the playing surface the actual game will be played on might be ok this year?

This poo poo shouldn't happen in some fashion two years in a row even if UNLV's field kinda sucks to begin with. It's not like you don't have enough money to figure this out.

The least surprising thing would be for that particular field to be really lovely considering the teams involved this year

As an idiot myself I am very sympathetic to a worker having a bad day and loving up. But it does feel like someone could have checked up on “was grass installed properly” one single time before a team started using it ahead of one of the highest profile events in the entire world :effort:

Like there is infinite money to throw at this, the cost of redoing the turf has to be like 0.001% of the money taken in
