If Daniels would have lost 5 yards instead of 4 on the previous play getting it set up on the left hash, that game winning kick may have doinked back onto the field instead of doinking thru for the win.

Commanders are this year's Texans (from last year).

I was thinking a lot of people are going to be tripping over themselves to have them going far in the playoffs next year. Broncos, too. 

Imagine if the Chiefs have a poor offseason and Kelce and/or Reid retire, the sexy thing will be to have the broncos winning the AFC west.

Good call on the Donkeys. They are very similar to Washington this year (worst to first type scenario).

Did not know Carnell Lake’s son was on the Rams. Carnell was a stud…son looks solid

These guys are really going to turn into pumpkins the most important games of the season and blow it.

Hate to see Sam fall off a cliff like this. I was definitely pulling for the Vikings to win it all but of course my interest in a team is the kiss of death.

Guess I need to put all of my rooting energy behind...the Chiefs. Yes, the Chiefs. Go Chiefs.

Darnold has not thrown a pass that’s been easy to catch….he’s being bailed out from a hugely terrible game

Feeling things out as a noob on FanDuel and lost all 7 bets on this Rams/Vikings game. All were very small bets and tried my first 2 parlays but fucking inept Vikings and I forgot how much I like Rams play calling (which killed my on my final 2 bets)

Oh well, learning and still in the + after about 15 bets

Sam's punishment for how he ended this season is that he has to go back to the Jets.

Parlays are tough and typically a waste. It’s why they’re the only thing DK promotes anymore. “Boost your 4 leg NBA parlay!” “Boost your 4+ leg NHL parlay!” “No sweat bet on Wild Card weekend parlay!” (Which you’ll also lose on another parlay)

I’ll do a long shot every once in a while and throw a dollar or two at it. It’s like a scratch off lottery ticket.

I stayed away from this game. I had no idea who would win. I almost bet the under and wish I had. Sometimes those feel like a 50/50 chance. 

NBA is really tough and I hardly ever do it. Maybe spreads or over/unders. You’ll bet a player points over but then their team gets up big and they sit most of the 4th.

Just a lot of variables that rarely work in your favor.

I had luck betting over on total player P/R/A on guys like Jokic, Giannis, and Luka. They’d have monster games and hit easily sometimes. 

I bet a decent amount on Bills and Eagles parlay moneyline win yesterday and that paid off. I’m not sure who I would feel comfortable doing that with next weekend. Ravens and Bills is 51.5. That could be an over? Two high power offenses. 

I’m kind of leaning OSU to cover the 9.5 or whatever they’re favored against Notre Dame.

2. Ravens

3. Rams

4. Eagles

5. Commanders

6. Texans

7. Buccaneers

8. Broncos

Yeah I know the parlays are happening much. I just put $1 on each..FanDuel lets you alter them a bit. I’m messing with stuff and taking mental notes.

Tonight messing with NBA and D Mitchell over 23.5 and 3+ in each qtr. just $2 and then took an under on a MAC basketball game.

Early on I like altering the spreads so it’s less risky and of course lower rewarding.

OSU, Detroit, Philly, KC….one of these is going make me throw some more money in the account I’m sure.

I’d flip Texans and Commanders…but close. Probably Chargers and Vikings too. 

I think the Ravens are the team and this showdown feels like OSU/Oregon …but it’ll be tight I think.

I didn’t see most of the game. I did see the second roughing penalty on Mahomes that was a joke. 

I hate the Chiefs and would love to blame the refs. But I also saw a sequence where Kelce caught a TD inbetween three defenders that weren’t really near him. Then Texans turned it over the following drive thanks to three straight blitzes that badicslly got right through to Stroud.

Can’t score 12 points against the Chiefs and expect to win


The two bad calls (one awful) resulted in +3 points IMO

They were also 4th and inches in the 4th and deep but took the automatic 3 points to make a 2 score game.

Sorry haters of the world, the Chiefs were the better team. 8 sacks was huge

Lions looking the the last few seasons' playoff Bills.
