Dont know why I took the other bet with the over Its something I tend to do from time to time as a hedge, 20 points in a game? Probably only 10% of NFL games this season will have that amount of points or less.
Was really crapping myself when the lions were at their 42 at the end, thankfully the Ryan Broyles TD avoided the bad beat.

Overall a decent weekend, came out on top :)( made almost 1000 dollars)

Da Bears are for real though, probably SF and NYFG's only real competition for the NFC Title and no I dont want to hear about the Dirty Birds

Edit- im watching the bears game again, man that Defense is impressive( as crappy as the Lions were) , I would think they would give SF a run for thier money

Did that TD not cost you money having bet Chicago -6.5?

Sorry my first post of the night was a typo, I got the .5 point buffer

I always bet with a personal Vegas based bookie I know, none of this bet365 crap.
If you want tio bet US sports while in UK always best to get a dedicated US bookie.

ie one that wont come for your knees when you fuck up :)
on pretty much all vegas lines the lions covered with the 13-7 loss

Pretty sweet result in the end so. Nice website that.

NFL can be unpredictable, any given Sunday and all that, but I'm finding it especially tough to call this season. Green Bay @ Indi gave me nightmares. Ironically, because of a guy called Luck :D

I was totally bongripped when I read that post, I must clarify :)
if you read post 700 you see I took the Lions to cover and the under before i hedged it with my later bet

But i did get a half point buffer on the Lions from a Vegas bookie that ordinarily I would NEVER have gotten from a uk based bookie.
I took em at -6 and then again $200 at 6.5

I am now gonna bet $100 that Mike Glennon will be the 2nd QB drafted in the 2013 nfl draft @ 50-1 odds
Clears me 5 grand if he is selected behind Geno Smith

I think he will be the 2nd overall pick in the draft after Geno, the only real competition is Georgia's Jarvis jones

Matt Barkley might go ahead of him
Click to expand...

Never been a fan of his, very stiff in the pocket, almost zero mobility for a 220 lb QB, and freezes under pressure, no ability to extend a play which isnt a good thing

Looks to me to be like a skinnier version of Brady Quinn,.
Lots of his out patterns do not have the zip that most NFL scouts are looking for as well which would allow NFL corners to pick him off a lot. plus he has major deep ball accuracy issues that will worry NFL scouts

In Contrast Glennon is 4 inches taller, really steps nicely into all his throws and delivers a really nice pass, he can make every NFL throw and reminds me a lot of Matt Schaub/Jake Locker
He has some footwork issues that can be corrected

His out pattern is as good as anyone in the NFL throws now( even Aaron Rodgers) and thats saying something

The velocity on his passes is way better than Barkley (and probably the best seen from an NFL prospect since Matt Stafford) and at 6-6 236 he can take a better NFL beating and the high arm motion means he wont have any of his passes batted down at LOS like Barkley will.

I think the Chiefs should make a trade for Tebow. It would be really interesting to see him and Jamal Charles together.

Im no Tebow fan, but I do think the jets should use him or lose him. He may not be the prototypical QB, but he does bring many intangibles to the table and there are some teams that could use that right now.

Plus, he makes the NFL more interesting when he is playing.
 
I think Landry Jones is a damn good quarterback who lost his flow for a few games, but is on fire right now. The main question with him is his leadership ability. Also his mobility isn't great, but he can take a hit. He is one of the more physically and mentally complete QBs out there (see Geno Smith when he is losing..). It will be interesting where he ends up going in the draft. He will be a very high pick if he wins out this season.

TLM...man you are one football obsessed dude =D I had never even heard of Glennon until you mentioned him in this thread lol.

Tebow needs to become a tight end/full back, or start a church.
 
i'm pretty scared about the birds vs birds game on sunday.

philly bird favored by 1 point. it moved from 2.5 this morning.

that's a lot of confidence coming from a fan of a 3 and 3 team that's gotten dominated by us the past two times we played. but andy reid does have a good record coming off a bye weekend. guess it really depends which one of your teams shows up. your team is more bipolar than 90% of the people that post in TDS. maybe last weeks complete meltdown against an extremely mediocre lions team was a wake up call. i suppose we'll see.

Exactly. I think it was a waste for the Jets to sign him and not even use him. I would trade Tebow for some defensive players.
And you look at the Chiefs QB's... Matt Cassell and Brady Quinn. I would take Tebow over both of them any day.

Tim Tebow is also a natural leader.. exactly what the Chiefs need right now. And you can't deny the fact that Tebow is a winner. He finds ways to win the game, even if it isn't pretty.
