5 grand? Geez louise. I wish I had that kind of money to burn

 

You make it sound like I just handed over the money.  It is a lot of money for me, which is why I’m so nervous.  At the time, I kind of looked at it as an investment.  Kind of like investing in the stock market.  Difference is this is a high risk-high reward situation.  Man am I feeling the pressure

EAGAN, Minn. -- Minnesota Vikingsrunning back Dalvin Cook and defensive end Everson Griffen have officially been ruled out for Sunday's home game against the Buffalo Bills, coach Mike Zimmer announced Friday.

 

 

Not the best news for me.  I still think Minnesota has a better chance of covering the odds than not.

What was the great deal you got to place the bet? Without that info we can not properly laugh.... ummmm debate this with you. 

 

Not supposed to tell but they gave me much better odds which means there’s a chance to make better money.  That’s why I didn’t mind taking 17 instead of 16.5 points.

I wouldn't worry much, man... We're gonna get murdered.

 

Well I’m confident in a Minnesota victory.  I think they have a very good chance of winning convincely, but it’s the big spread and the potential of garbage time points that scares me

If the Bills win, enjoy the win and figure your money and karma helped.  Your wife won't care but The Force will be with you.  And no you can't sleep on my sofa.

 

If the Bills get crushed, you get $5K which buys a lot of solace.

 

But if the Bills lose by less than 17, there is no bright lining to that cloud.

Thanks to everyone who chimes in here.  Even those who called me an idiot for taking the bet. You made me laugh which is always good.   At the time I took the bet, I felt really strongly about it.  The more I thought about it, I get a little more concerned - especially the garbage time.  

 

Sunday will be like the Super Bowl for me.  I might just try to watch the game by myself because I don’t want anyone to know how much I have riding on it.

The way I was thinking, based how the Bills played the past 2 weeks, I don’t see them scoring more than 6.  That means Minnesota has to score about 24 points which I think they can do easily.  I am predicting a 30-6 Vikings win

 

Definitely hope we get more than 6.

 

14-30
