Disagree with you on the D. They were exposed against good teams. That needs to change next season.

 

Respectfully, they were missing their best player, and they STILL were statistically the top D in the league. The D would be seen in a different light if not for a poorly managed 13 seconds. That’s a skewed look, IMO. 

 

Every season is a new season. Time will tell what we might trot out there next year.

Bob Kraft can probably get you a list of Asian Spas that might help.

Sadly even something that pathetic would be a vastly more significant accomplishment in comparison to the adulation of some meaningless, uninformed  and perpetually incorrect projection.
 

Self awareness might suggest investigating why exactly fantasies of Bob are top of mind for you and synonymous with joy by the way…

You really cannot say which team should be favourites until draft and free agency completed

 

sure, but as long as degenerates are willing to bet this early, the sportsbooks will lay out some bad lines for them to bet into

I've already placed my wager on the Bills.  

 

why?  that number was going to still be available in September.   you just loaned the sportsbook money interest-free for no reason.

Doesn’t mean squat. We’re back at ground zero along with everybody else. Gotta climb the mountain again…

 

Nope.  It's not an accident that the sportsbooks have made the two teams with the best QBs in the NFL as Super Bowl favorites.  Allen and Mahomes put the Bills and Chiefs half way up the mountain even compared to good teams without proven top QBs such as the Bucs, Saints, and Steelers.

 7 times the money is a bad line for the favorite?  I fail to follow your logic...

They might make a bit if interest from my wager, but I guarantee I make more from their site playing Texas hold em.

I actually don't doubt it.  I'm guessing you play at BetOnline with a Hud?  You can print money that way.

 

As for your question about why 7 to 1 is a bad price, you can search for how sportsbooks make a killing off the futures markets.  If they're laying 7 to 1, I guarantee the fair price (based on current knowledge of the teams) using their computer algorithms is at least 10 to 1.  If you do the math and add up the prices for all 32 teams in the Super Bowl futures market*, you'll find out that the sportsbook is basically charging a vig of 50% whereas on a regular point spread bet, they're only charging a vig of 10%.

 

* Because we know in a perfectly fair market, all the probabilities should add up to 1

Same. I don't give a **** if the media and the so called "experts" say the Bills are the best team and the favorite to win it all next year. I only care about the Bills proving it on the field and winning it all in reality. Talk is cheap. I just want one in my lifetime.

I actually use FanDuel.  I placed a wager on one of their spread the love promos and playing with house money so to speak.  Might have to look into BetOnline...
