    Here’s the $60,000 question. Does Rodgers still own the Bears?

    @thisistheshow said:
    Yes, for at least one more game.

    Is Rodgers playing this week?

    Broken thumb and a rib injury?

    so, i'm a liar. either that or i'm allowed to change my mind. but let's just call me a liar.......that's way more fun. i really didn't want to do this, but i kinda felt like i had to. it was either take my $1.62 and order something off the dollar menu at Mickey D's, or trudge forward. and seeing as i ate enough over the holidays to last me three weeks, i'm opting for the latter. but hey, at least i've learned my lesson with parlays after all of the bellyaching i've done about unpredictability in the NFL.

    i just lied again.

    see how much fun that is?

    Galaxy I’m glad you stayed away from k-state - tcu. Wildcats could pull the upset as they’ve been playing well lately.
    Hope usc beats Utah that could go either way.

    Fields practiced apparently, still questionable though

    Rodgers is looking like he will play, if Fields is in against Rodgers I might seriously consider a Bears ML

    Funny thing is I was playing some world cup parlays ( $10 ) I won a $100 on early cash outs, Morocco win and Croatia/Belgium draw both tied into a US win or draw so I took my profit while I could.

    Brazil and Cameroon were tied at the half and I saw Cameroon +900 for a win and like +450 for a draw so I split 50 each on those bets ( dart throw ) and got lucky

    I wish I threw the entire 100 on Cameroon but I will take it!

    I know as much about Soccer as I do junior Hockey which is absolutely nothing so it was just a bored at home random action lol

    Galaxy I apologize for that post I went too far. But I really was hoping you would just stay away from betting against k state, I’ve watched most of their games and they just got better as the season progressed. Looks like they’ve found a great replacement for bill snyder.
    I root for you guys to win your bets so let’s go on a winning streak like deuces! 👍

    @Darin i wasn't offended by anything you said. hell you were speaking the truth -- i have been regularly unable to connect on more than one winner all season long, yet i still attempt parlays and teasers like a demented person. and when i called you omniscient i was being serious -- you were leaning K-State and Utah in those games and i was hoping you dropped some coin on them. no need to apologize.

    win or lose (probably lose), at least the bet below is only one game 😂

    Tua looked like the old Tua with a pass rush.

    a nationally televised tilt in week 13 has the real feel of a show-me game for Brady & the Bucs. if they can't take care of business at home against a Saints team that can't score in a brothel, it'll officially be time to whip out the proverbial fork and jam it in them.

    The Vikings are +115 ML against Detroit, other than that nothing is jumping out to me with any value

    Ofcourse with my track record Detroit will probably crush them

    On the Soccer end of things I will win $50 if Brasil wins

    Yes I purposely spelled it BraSil 😁

    I’m looking at a couple of dogs that in my mind shouldn’t be.
    Ravens +2.5 at Steelers.
    I’ve seen Jackson and Huntley. There is a drop off in talent but is it enough to really effect the Ravens game plan. If they can run the ball and work some play action into the game it should be a grind em out game. Not sure if Gus Edwards is 100% healthy. Looks like a nice tease with the unders.
    Minnesota +2.5 at Detroit. Line moved from +1 to +2.5. 10-2 vs 5-7. Vegas is begging you to take Minnesota. The Vikings lost 2 games, Philadelphia and Dallas in blow out fashion but have taken care of the games they needed to win.

    How about a $100 teaser
    Minnesota +8.5
    Ravens +8.5

    and another $100
    Ravens +8.5
    Under 44.5

    Seattle was not ready to play. came out and spotted the Panthers 17 points and never had the lead the entire game.

    what i could not believe was how horrible Tua looked last night. he was going up against a Chargers D that was completed decimated and he posted a 24.7 QBR. he looked like he has one of the weakest arms in the league -- every pass hangs in the air and has very little zip on it. how on earth he was the top-ranked passer going into that game is completely beyond me.

    there i was thinking that Miami was going to hang 40 on LA, and they were lucky to have scored a single touchdown that entire game. you know how my saying goes -- that's what i get for thinking

    you just never freaking know

    Miami’s 5 game win streak. Steelers, Lions Bears Texans and Browns.
    3rd place schedules make teams look great. Now the Dolphins faced the 49ers, Herbert and the Chargers and go into Buffalo with a healthy defense, not 100 degrees on the visitors side line. Tua folded under pressure, looked lost and they are starting to play like a 3rd place team.

    On a side note the Eagles signature win was against 1 top tier QB, Cousins, if you call him that. Don’t say Rodgers, everyone beat Rodgers this year. Well see soon enough if all the smoke and mirrors works in December and January.
