    I have zero feel for SF-Sea tonight.......which is pretty much every NFL game this season 😂.........so i'm waking this thread up with a little NBA action

    They just said Memphis has their biggest halftime lead of the season.

    I don't make many comments here, but I saw something that looked...good Arizona @ Denver +/- is at 37, I believe. The under? 🤷

    37 is very low obviously but your probably right

    Zach Wilson starts after a month inactive against one of the hottest offenses. Hammer Detroit.
    Harbaugh is 28-5 against the Browns and Watson looks like he hasn’t played in 700 days. Healthy JKDobbins. Hammer the under in a 13-10 kinda game

    here I am at Jerry World trying to enjoy the state HS championship games and I'm like a 14-yr-old girl in the stands staring at my phone the entire time attempting to keep up with the Vikings bullpoptarts

    I gave myself a loss about 3 hours ago so I'm going to have to recalculate my P/L late tonight

    Ravens & Browns have scored 6 and it's almost half

    I just have one freaking thing to say

    I had a banner day yesterday

    Thought I lost the Minny game even after they won because in my big parlay I thought I had the under in the game but it was the Cleveland game so it was alive, I hit everything but had the Buffalo game under at 54 thinking it was going to be a blizzard but after seeing how good the field was during pregame I cashed out at 147 and put it all on a Buffalo and Over tease with the 147, I felt so good about it I threw another 100 on the same play.

    I sweated it out but came into the money for 445

    Oddly I won 440 at Poker with my buddies while watching the games so a very productive day

    Awesome day, congratulations. I lost $400 in the NFL and $600 at the poker table. But at least I drove home safely. 😢

    I have the same parlay. I know I was anti parlay but it gets it down to -263 for me instead of chiefs -950 and
    Eagles -390 individually so it’s making sense to me now.

    Good day for me yesterday as well, no losers.
    Ku basketball over Indiana $60 win
    Ultimate Texas hold ‘em $75 win
    Slots a modest $6 win
    Buffalo $278 win (tossed 917.60 on ml)
    And possible win today of $81 or loss of $210.

    i'm dead serious about what i'm about to say

    i'm not going to go so far as to bet on them, primarily because i have a bet locked in already and i don't feel like following 10 games on Christmas Eve and day, but my team has a real shot of springing one of the biggest upsets of the season against the Bills. the weather forecast............well, i'll just allow you to look up the weather forecast for Chicago on Saturday. let's just say it will not be conducive to throwing the football. that said, who is more proficient at running between these two teams? the Bears suck as a team, no question about that, but one thing they can do is run the football. #1 in the NFL. and by all accounts, the Buffalo run D made Raheem Mostert look like Mercury Morris last week in similar conditions. if they don't plug those leaky holes, Justin Fields will go nuts on them.

    you could do far worse than laying some scratch on the Bears plus the points (8), and when Chicago wins the game outright you read it here first

    @perkdog i can't post a dissertation like that and not act on it. i'm in West TX right now for the holidays and the wind is howling to the tune of a -14 chill as i speak. (yes, it can get that cold here.) a little while ago i found a football and decided to test the waters as it pertains to this game. i went outside and chucked it around like a lunatic for about 10 minutes, and the prevailing thought i had was, HOW THE **** DO YOU THROW A FOOTBALL IN THIS. and conditions are going to be FAR worse in Chicago on Saturday.

    i decided to splash a little on the spread. the line ticked up to 9 and i bought a point and a half

    I am going to follow you. Once I put it in we will both be HUGE Bears fans this weekend.

    sounds good brother. i do want to add one thing while you are mulling things over. if you're a line movement guy, i just want to mention that this one has been bouncing around like a super ball. it opened at -9.5 at my book, dropped a point and a half to 8, then ticked back up to 9 today. what the tells me is that the betting public has no earthly idea what's going to happen on Saturday. heads are spinning everywhere. this is not going to be a garden-variety NFL game, and the same thing can be said for a few other roof-less games up north. look at the freaking O/U on Cleveland and New Orleans............32(!). i think some weird stuff is going to happen this weekend.

    if Bears/Bills took place under normal conditions, i wouldn't touch it. but i just think that 9 (and in my case, 10.5) is too many points in this situation. the Bills are dying to unload an air raid on a crappy Chicago D, but i just don't see how they're going to be able to with any degree of consistency when there is snow, wind, and a projected -25 to -35 chill. thus the entire game will be predominantly centered around the run, and that shrinks the gap between these two teams for the reasons i mentioned above.

    seeing as i'm a CB fan, i truthfully don't even want us to win because it'll drop us from the #2 spot in the draft order. but this is my objective take after taking every single aspect of this game into consideration. my vision could be very wrong, thus you might want to pick @2dueces and @Darin 's brains in order to potentially gain a different perspective.

    Merry Christmas fellas!

    Bills will run the ball effectively even if the weather is bad. Chicago will turn it over. Fields will get his 100 but the Bills will stiffen in the red zone. I see a 24-14 type game. Allen rushes for 2 TD’s and passes for a third.

    The game tonight is a gimme. Let me explain.
    The NFL wants young guns in the playoffs. Tennessee is on the way out. Trevor Lawrence is one of the rising stars.
    Jaguars win out and win the South for a home game. Take it to the bank.

    So I lost all my parlays backing Chicago, I had them +8. +10.5
    And +17.5

    0-3 and a neat loss of $150.

    One really stung because I had Houston ML in there

    things looked good at half

    the 2nd half was a complete debacle

    all credit goes to the Bills run D.........holding Fields to 11 rushing yards is stellar regardless of the conditions

    no jonathan taylor

    nick foles has played one game in two years

    this game means nothing to the Colts and means everything to the Chargers

    but the line has been shrinking, so the betting public seems to think that Indy will be able to hang

    No doubt the Colts will be loose. Are they playing for Saturdays job. If they want him they might but it could look a lot like a Hackett team to start over.
    The line hasn’t moved from -4 so im hoping on early.
