🏈 Super Bowl XLVIII- The Path to Meadowlands

Dead money red

[quote=“Sandymount Red, post: 825805, member: 1074”]Is there any need to start a separate NFL gambling thread or do we stick the bets in here?

Baltimore +8 with PP looks a cracking bet to start the season off with in Denver on Thursday night.[/quote]

Put it in the football betting thread I set up

What a cunt.

So this lad is named starter for the J-E-T-S. Patriots play 2 rookies in opening 2 games.

to be fair it’s not a patch on orlovsky’s safety. That and anyone would crap their pants in the face of the sheer power of the the big blue wreckin’ crew pass rush.

FYI for those looking for gridiron without sky sports:

Someone’s excited about tomorrow…

And last year they lost to the first rookie QB that they faced last season didn’t they?

are you equating the super bowl runners up San Francisco to the Bills and Jets?

Or do you not think that a team opening up their season in 2 games against rookie QBs is an ideal situation?

No but it was the Seahawks I was talking about and even in week six last year they were far from the finished product.

QB is just one of many issues for the Jets. It’ll be a good chance for Cuntface to see if Amendola can make him look as good as Welker did.

Who is screening Monday Night Football?

No one as of yet but an announcement is due this week, could be espn

Best of luck to EJ Manuel, CJ Spiller and the Buffalo Bills in the AFC East.

Hope so. BBC’s coverage was awful.

NFL Bets for the season:
Drew Brees 4.5pts 3/1 Most Passing Yards
Tyriann Mathieu 0.5pts 25/1 Boyles Defensive Rookie
Kenbrell Thomkins 0.75pts 17/1 Powers Offensive Rookie
Alec Ogletree 0.75pts 18/1 Powers Defensive Rookie
Luke Keuchly 1pt 16/1 B365 Defensive Player
Eddie Lacey 1.5pts 15/2 Powers Offensive Rookie
Jets 1.25pts 9/1 B365 Lowset Scoring Team
Peyton Manning 1.5pts 7/1 WillHill MVP
Calvin Johnson 3pts 10/3 WillHill Most Receiving Yards

Also trying to get a bet on Marlon Brown for Off. Rookie but most firms are chicken shits and B365 have reneged on an offer of 60/1. Arseholes.

Random thoughts:
For the record I fancy the Broncos to be top seeds. But their problems on defense early in the season with Bailey injured and Miller suspended have put me off investing in them.
Denver, San Fran, Seattle are the 3 to beat.

Packers with no Bulaga have OL problems. So do the Bears.
The Texans are schizophrenic on D. Sometimes nasty, sometimes porous.
Saints don’t have Vilma or Smith.
I don’t trust Atlanta. Andy Dalton and Tony Romo won’t do it when it matters.
Big Blue could do it, if they feel like it. I worry for RGIII.

Patriots get a pass into the playoffs due to a woeful division and will get found out when they get there. They still have poor pass defense and lack an effective pass rush.
Jets have no offense. No QB, no RB, no WR.

I fancy Arizona and Detroit to outperform expectations. NFC West is a dog of a division now and just a couple of years ago it was a joke.

Tonight?
No Ed Reed, no Ray Lewis, no Elvis Dumervil, no Von Miller, no Champ Bailey etc…
Shootout. Back overs of 48. I think Denver should also cover. 35-24, late TD to seal it. Something like that.

Awful start to 3rd quarter for the Ravens. Manning throws for his 3rd and 4th TD in quick succession. 17@28

Make that 5.
3 TD’s in 8 minutes in 3rd Quarter.
Awesome

God bless pro football:clap:

Dimarius and Julius Thomas both superb tonight. Peyton was too I suppose considering no one else has thrown for 7 TDs in 44 years. Looked like he gelled quite naturally with Welker too. Trevathans drop has to be seen to be believed, beyond embarrassing. For Baltimore Flacco was shit and Clarke ain’t no Boldin, Moores hit on him was Cunniffe-esque:clap:. Whoever took out Jacobi Jones wants a serious smack. Ravens not as bad as the scoreline suggested but their special teams coach wants shooting.
