I checked during the late slate and Maye was still -250 and Stafford was +300 something.

Now he's -130 and Maye is +100 at my book.

Legit coinflip going on.

He's 55c on Kalshi.

What is more surprising to me is McDonald 18c for COY. He is no worse than top 3 coach ITL, took the team to top seed and SB fave, his D which is best ITL, and took on Darnold and got the most out of him.

I get Vrabel deserves consideration, but those votes were probably cast earlier in the season, joke schedule, and East Coast bias.

Stafford being the current betting favorite to win MVP seems wild to me.

It's all a joke that anyone would watch this week and think anything means anything. Dogshit week with meaningless results.

People are actually watching this game? It's been marked skip on my calendar for a month now.

by GusJohnsonGOAT m

I personally don't watch the NBA until the postseason, and even most of the first round is skippable.

by GusJohnsonGOAT m

I'm not a college watcher but did they ever play a real team on NBC?

by GusJohnsonGOAT m

If they are going to continue to do these dumbass morning games please be more matchups like this, so I don't have to watch.

by GusJohnsonGOAT m

I refuse to watch Giants primetime games anymore.

by GusJohnsonGOAT m

Is the game not flexed out because it is a "special" game even though it is Sunday night? I mean, I won't complain since I'll probably be busy anyway so good I don't even have to watch.

by GusJohnsonGOAT m

I remember going to a party on Sunday last year and one of the TVs randomly had the USFL on and my first thought was "this **** is still going? Who watches this?"

by GusJohnsonGOAT m

Didn't even watch the game (so just guessing why people are mad)

by GusJohnsonGOAT m

You don't even need to watch.

by GusJohnsonGOAT m

I don't even have to watch the game. Romo will tell me how it ends.

by GusJohnsonGOAT m

How many people watch Broncos Raiders next week? 7?

i stopped after 2 pages, but it goes on like this forever. please start a blog where you tell what you're not watching and why no one else should either, it's fascinating


Vrabel is just the known name I feel like. What the hell is a Liam coen anyway?


Pats only -3.5 seems mad disrespectful.


Texans don't have the Saturday afternoon game? I WANT A REFUND

Wow, are you pulling up posts from years ago where I also didn't watch the games? Because I actually stopped watching today because it was dogshit. Add it to the list, you ****ing weirdo.

So does 9ers +3

Incredible post!


LETS

Also, Panthers being a 10 point dog in a playoff game is just disrespectful!


Lamar out of the league in 2 years


Falcons fire Raheem Morris and the GM, Terry Fontenot.

I’m pleased to see it. This team clearly has talent, and should be an attractive job.

Lamar out of the league in 2 years

Seems aggressive. Why?


He'd like to spend more time with his video games.


I'm going to attempt to transpose the week 18 chat here but mainly I need an area to bitch and moan.

Not sure what feels worse, that miss or Cundiff from 14 years ago. Probably Cundiff given it was playoffs and we had a great team but its close because it still felt like we had a punchers chance this year if we got in. Mind you if Hamilton likely and Wiggins possibly would miss the wild card game our defense would maybe be the worst of all playoff teams. At least we had the run the year after Cundiff missed.

Trading Lamar is certainly one option. I don't disagree this could be the last chance to cash in on peak value. Someone would pay a lot for a generational QB. But I think it would be the wrong move. If Lamar doesn't sniff a deep run again he's still the franchises best QB ever and if we move on and try a reset there's zero guarantee of anything. As a fan I'm happier to roll the dice and take the bad with the good. Last night was a lot of good out of Lamar, and obviously not a reason they lost.

Bigger than the Lamar problem was the total inconsistency in playcalling, both offensively and defensively, and a league bottom pass rush.

Team is still built to win now. I suspect Harbaugh stays on, Bisciotti is too old school to turf his long term guy. He is linked to Lamar and I think the recent news on their relationship is just puff. More likely Monken and Orr get sent packing than him.


might be worth trading an aging running qb who might be a choker if you can get a big haul, but as far as 2025 goes it seems silly to ignore that hammy injury he suffered. clearly wasn't the same player after he returned, seems almost certain he wasn't 100%. kind of a big deal when running is such a big part of what makes him great.


Burrow clearly hoping to get out of Cincy.

With the obvious handbrake of the Bungles ownership being cheap, unimaginative and extremely bloody minded, I wonder what it might take. Like if the Giants offered #4, a 2027 1 and a 2028 1?

Jackson would get less than 3 1s I’d guess, albeit he’s been a more accomplished QB and is the same age
