    Why did the Eagles even show up tonight? 😒

    Don’t worry the bears coach is in the process of losing this game for Chicago. Turns down 3 points to make it a two score game. 😂😂

    At what point in their careers do football coaches either finally understand or idiotically forget that football is a game of momentum?

    Patriots are favored by -8.5 against the Raiders? I thought the Raiders might be a slight favorite in this game on Sunday? I'm very rarely off on a line by this much. Not sure how the bookie computer came up with this?

    Perhaps the Raiders suffered some key injuries? I'll have to investigate this further

    That game is 2 weeks away but it does seem like a crazy line.

    You're right. Looking ahead on the ESPN website, I accidentally clicked week 5 instead of week 4.

    I'll have to ask my doc to increase the dose on the Alzheimers medicine. 😂

    Lol they put the Red Rifle in to throw a pick, rather than pound Barkley 3 times

    That's almost as shocking as Andy Dalton still being in the league

    LOL the Eagles deserve that turnover

    I knew I shouldn't have bet this dam game.

    If I had any brains, I'd cash out for a loss, and get it over with.

    I feel like I'm watching a pee-wee league coached football game out there. 😛

    What a total waste of 73 yards of Barkley rushing.

    The Eagles coaches should be ashamed of themselves right now.

    normally we would've kicked a gimme FG from the 3 to make it a 2-score game with our 3rd-stringer in, but we knew their HC is as big of an idiot as ours and we'd be back down there again in 30 minutes

    and then we could do it

    Between the players, refs and coaches and the stupid or uncalled for stuff that happens in these games as much of a bettor that I am I hardly ever put money on the outcome of the game

    It's just diabolical watching a coach or ref lose a winnable game for you

    If I can pull this game out, I solemnly swear that I will not use profanity or be with any wild women for a 24 hour period, to show my gratitude.

    The Eagles are very much in this game, winning by a FG doesn't seem unrealistic at all

    Eagles 24
    Bears 20

    it's a total clown show

    did you see what Trevor Lawrence did yesterday?

    bets were literally refunded because of his antics

    it is out of control from all angles

    yet we can't help ourselves

    if we knew for a fact that games were being thrown, we'd still park money in an attempt to figure it out

    I was told by a buddy that there were millions in bets on Lawrence to score a TD, it was heavily bet

    The fact that he did that with 8 + minutes to go in the games and acted like he forgot how much time was left was unreasonably questionable, it was completely uncalled for what he did there

    Possibly the easiest sweat free bet I've made

    Tuesday 8:00 game

    Red Sox ML with 30% boost

    I'm playing all the 4 MLB dogs on Tuesday, as previously mentioned.

    Still have 2 games to play, but the only boost left has to be live, 50% boost.

    So I'll have to wait and choose which dog to apply that boost. Then I'll play the other remaining one.

    Worst game, for a number of reasons, I've seen the Eagles play in quite some time.

    I think the players and coaches may have figured it would be easy pickins with Keenum in there. That type of attitude in the NFL, often gets you slaughtered. Which is what happened tonight.

    One of my best friends, fraternity roommate in college, I was in his wedding, he grew-up in the middle of PA, so didn't have allegiance to any PA team because each one was hundreds of miles away. He became a fan of the players he liked on a particular team, which happened to be the Royals and the Bears. To this day, he remains a fan of both those teams.

    He just sent me an email with a Bears headline. I know it's gonna contain some very nasty smack. I don't feel like opening it until tomorrow sometime, then I'll receive my punishment. LOL

    Looks like I totally misread your bet. When I made that post it was 16-0 and saw your under play was 51.5. Since Denver looked terrible just assumed the under for you would be a winner hence the go cash your ticket. But you had the Phil game in there as well.
    No offense intended or sarcasm. Meant well, as I do for all of us gamblers here.

    Both teams last night did every they could to ensure the under was covered.
    Keenum shines,Hurts flames out. Who'd of thunk it.

    Can you bet on when Nike gets kicked out of the Dow 30?
    Has to be a sure thing now. Their stock has been trash for several years and now major brokerage firms are saying sell.

    that was absolutely a flippant remark by me

    it wouldn't have mattered it LA & Denver had combined for a negative 10 points, because i needed Philadelphia +21 for the other leg 💩

    hope your treatments are going well my friend

    100%. Every time I think I have a "can't-miss" lock, some random turnover or backdoor cover completely ruins the card.

    I wasn’t going to bet on any BB playoff games but the last 3 days of football have been brutal for me so why not. Had the Eagles ML last night and they didn’t even show up for the game.

    My girls on the Fever never let me down. Easy double digit win. 😊

    I'll second that. Didn't do very well with the week's NFL games, and lost 3 outa 4 MLB games yesterday.

    If it wasn't for killing college football last Saturday, I'd be begging for quarters on South Street right now.

    One weird thing, lately I've been hitting player props at close to a 100% ratio. And I'm not even sure why? LOL

    One thing that hisses myself off a bit, I've had some nice profit boosts wasted on losers. That makes it sting even more.
