That is a flimsy argument. Every state pretty much has legalized gambling. I know the bigger casinos in Vegas like Ceasar's usually set the lines but it is not like it was even 5 years ago when if you wanted to make a legal bet on a sporting event you had to go to Nevada to do it.

Yet the Colts who you state are very good team has the same record as us. I agree with the OP, if the Bills do get in the playoffs there is not a team out that is going to want to see them.

Agreed, after my daughter graduates high school in 4 years I am trying to talk my wife into moving down to South Carolina. been there on business a few times and really like it. I am going to double down and try to talk my daughter into going to college down there, maybe Coastal Carolina or University of SC. My friend and I were talking at the Monday night game, the snow gets over blown here, especially if you don't live in the southtowns. Yeah yeah we get our 80 to 90 inches of snow but it snows then melts, snows then melt. This year where I live at least in south lancaster we have hardly got anything. Middle of December and I haven't picked up a shovel yet. But....the real thing that bothers me is the cloudy weather and the wind here. We will go 8-9 days without seeing the sun in the winter/early spring. It is depressing. I don't know, I love to golf too, I want to go somewhere we can golf all year round. Oh and BTW, the taxes suck, I could buy a similar house in SC with $2K in taxes compared to the 9K I am paying here.

I will say one thing our schedule certainly plays in our favor. We have three home games against teams we will be favored by 7 + points. I also got a feeling we are going to do a number on NE.

Should be a good game, have fun and enjoy the nice weather!

It will be interesting to see if OSU is excited to play this game considering they were 1 inch away from beating Baylor & possibly jumping Cinci for that 4th spot. My guess is Notre Dame will be ready to go given the fact they have a new coach that players seem to be excited to play for.

I sold my tickets for the dolphins game thru ticketmaster like a month before the actual game and I didnt get my money until a week after the event. Weird how they do that now, you will probably get your money this upcoming Monday.

Not sure where you got this quote but I never said that, not sure how it was posted which is kind of concerning. I feel the exact same way as you. The refs stole this game.

I hate when people throw out the number of penalties as some kind of deflection of the agenda of the NFL. For you to point out the number penalties just goes to show you have no idea what your talking about. It is when they call the penalties. My BIL and I were talking after the game and he said Brady gets 3-4 drives extended most games on phantom PI/holding calls on the defense. The refs were famous for this when Brady was in NE. They would call penalties against NE's opponent early when the game was still in doubt and then throw meaningless penalties in the 4th against NE to even out the number of penalties when the contest was pretty much decided. Let me put it another, if Tampa and brady was going for the winning TD and that play that happened to Diggs to Evans or Gronk, there is noway in hell the refs don't throw the flag. That is the difference and it decides games like yesterday unfortunately.

Wait a second Dave, when there were 4-5 blatant PI calls against Tampa, none of which were called then Tampa gets 5 PI/holding calls in their favor stop with the borderline crap. Sanders and Diggs in the first half pretty much got their jerseys taken off with no calls. I have said for years, I am not going to say it is rigged but the NFL has an agenda and that agenda is for some reason to get Brady as many wins/super bowl appearances as possible. Yesterday it was so over the top I can not believe anybody is remotely defending the refs.

What was Moss even doing in the game at that point when it was pretty clear he was our third best rb that night.

I used to like it when they had Fred Flinstone & Barnie Rubble with their lodge hats on they would say "go go buffalo"

This is an excellent point. It is not Daboll's fault the line can't block worth a sh*t or the rbs have no vision. If Moss cuts that run to the outside he walks in for the td. That is on Beane.

Wow, that is pretty unbelievable. I was at the game and it is tough to notice things like that but my god, he could of walked into the endzone. Makes you wonder.

You make a lot of good points. I will state this though, the NFL is so competitive now. Most games are decided by a bounce or two. Even this NE game, yeah I get they rushed for 200 + yards but if any of 4 or 5 things go the other way we win that game. - the good 2 point conversion - diggs dropping the td pass - bass missing that 30 yard fg. - not getting the holding call on knox in the endzone at the end of the game Last year it seemed like we won all the close games. 1st NE game, seatle, rams, even the colts and Baltimore playoff game. This year it seems like we are losing all the close games - Titans, Jags, NE,. It truly is a game of inches and the biggest reason our record isnt the same as last year is we are not winning the one possession games this year

You out of towners crack me up. It is going to rain in the morning with 25 mph winds(gusts up to 50 mph) but winds diminishing in the afternoon, temps drop dramatically as they start out on the 50s and will be in the low 30s by the afternoon. By game time winds will be about 15 mph, and a chance of flurries. If we pick up an inch or two of snow I will be surprised. Channel 2 especially Patrick Hammer likes to spew this crap all the time and get everybody worked up but look at the models. They are not that bad. Josh Allen and the bazooka he has attached to his right arm will be just fine.

Yeah ND needs major help. They need two out of 3 teams to lose, Bama, Cinci/Michigan & if Bama loses a close game I could see them getting in before ND.

That is interesting you say that. I know you follow bama. I mean I believe they upgraded QB. Jones was great but Young is a generational talent imo. I don't think there is a fall off in the receiving corps with Williams and Meuche(sp). Your comments give me pause for betting Bama on saturday.

Agree on conforto, I could not stand watching him anymore. Not sure how I feel about Mad Max signing. Lot of coin to give a guy that age(or any age) but.... if him and degrom stay healthy there the best 1-2 punch in league imo. They had to do something after losing out on Gauzman. My son who is a huge Mets fan just texted me that the Mets are trying to sign Carlos Rodan, that would be a great addition especially now looking like strohman is gone.

If Bama, Michigan, Cinci & Okl St win Bama, Georgia, Cinci & Mich are in. Okl St is left out.

Yeah when I say they have the best win, I am just going by the current rankings and also added bonus it was in south bend. Michigan argueably had a better win but that was at home. As a gambler, this bama/georgia game is going to be really interesting. It never happens that Saban is getting 6 points. Part of me says don't over think this one, the spread is a gift against the gambling gods on the other hand....not sure how bama fears against Georgia's defense. I think Saban is going to come up with a solid game plan and this one is going to be close. Like I said Bama wins, not only are they are in they are probably the #1 seed and will matchup against Cinci. Then I guess we could truly put your theory to the test.

Just like Georgia destroyed them last year in the bowl game right? Cinci wins they are in, not sure if they get by Houston though although they are playing at home. I see your train of thought but where it goes wrong is it doesnt matter what you think would happen, what matters what they do on the field. I will argue to date out of the top 6-7 teams Cinci maintains the best win of the bunch with their victory at south bend, that doesn't hold any weight with you? That win is certainly better than any win to date Alabama has. Now if Bama beats Georgia they are in imo no questions ask as they will then possess the best win out of any team in the country.

That was kind of before my time, I was only 8 and was a Steelers fan back then. The funny thing about watching the replay of that, the stands looked empty but it was kind of cool watching the security guards in the yellow rain coats celebrate after the catch. Good times.

It is going to be Georgia, Alabama, Oregon, Ohio St with Cinci in the 5 hole.

That first Pats game up here he only threw 24 times and there 30 mph + winds that day. He was actually pretty good that day given the weather conditions.
