The Puppy Bowl posted:The Browns are absolutely not above average. They've won 4 of their last 5 dude. That's above average. Horrible idea to put any money on that game either way. It had all the makings of a trap game and after last week I'm not surprised at all that the Eagles pulled it off.

According to several reporters, it's a common conception in NFL management that the first 2 to 3 games are extended preseason since the changes in how often teams can practice in the off-season and the types of practices they can undertake.

MazelTovCocktail posted:http://twitter.com/darrenrovell/status/1074521849273479169?s=21 There was one that was moderately active two years ago until like week 8 when everybody was losing money and stopped, lol. I'll look for a link back to that. I played around on an overseas sportsbook and ended up effectively breaking even after fees (up like $20 after doing it on and off for about a year and a half), but I would have ended up way ahead if I never touched football. This Steelers/Dolphins game was one of my biggest losses along with a game prop bet on Jusuf Nurkic in a regular season game vs. the Pelicans that looked too good to be true, the absurdly fixed first boxing match between GGG/Canelo, and the outcome of the 2016 presidential election. Biggest wins were Daniel Cormier > Stipe Miocic, KU > Texas Tech in their second matchup last year (underdogs even with Keenan Evans injured), and the absolute highlight was hitting a $10 +1800 prop bet on the royal wedding (whether Gina Torres from Suits would attend). E: Here's that (archived) thread Power of Pecota fucked around with this message at 01:56 on Dec 18, 2018 |

The Saints lost to Tampa week 1 but no one is saying Tampa is the better team. Also Miami Tennessee and Minnesota have been in playoff contention late in the season.
