Probably the closest I've come to quitting NFL

1) Detroit can't do wrong 1st half, Chicago can't do anything right.

2) Detroit can't do anything right 2nd half, Chicago can't do anything wrong (well......)

3) The flags are just insane and make it unwatchable.

4) Professional malfeasance and they all should be fired for that ending.

Now, I had money on both sides so it becomes a wash so save the fiddles.  We're talking about a product that is becoming unwatchable and certainly lower on the betting for long term profits rung.

Oh, I do like Dallas though.....

Interesting game. Good ol nfl 

The NFL is worse than WWE. Completely fixed to get whoever they want to win. The flags  will make sure of that. Speechless how stupid it is and it’s popular. Awful sport 

Sometimes the smart play is 1st half. Not a fan of double-digit spreads. 

Lions did plenty wrong 1st half they didn't convert in the red zone kicking all those FGs having a lineman try to do I have no idea what

A lot people are complaining about the NFL yet..................... We are still watching or BETTING on this GREAT game of football lol

That fumble the lions had in the 1st half was not anything close to doing nothing wrong in the 1st half.  But Bears should of atleast got the game tying field goal to go to overtime 

All you have to do is look at the live odds to get an idea of how they want you to bite

I'd say all lions drives were +120 of being a touchdown 

All bears drives were -150 of being a punt

Therefore the score should have ended with the  lions covering even if the bears ended up with 20 somehow 

The NFL is getting worse year by year but the stupidity of players and coaches in every friken game takes the cake. These players and coaches have been around the game their WHOLE lives and yet you see some of the dumbest mistakes that can't be explained. I will continue to watch and bet because it is entertaining but the stupidity of these professionals is unbearable

@the1toturn2

 This muppet works for the NFL in some capacity. I’ve never seen someone so obsessed with any post on this board that criticizes the NFL.

The NFL is entertainment. I have friends that played in the league and while they won’t come out and say it, it’s understood that things are shady in the NFL. 

@mjm1012

This post got me thinking thanks for that 

I just noticed that these two games on Thanksgiving, they are both divisional games.

Is that a coincidence?? I'd be curious to know if that happens every year 

@jpitty

 Good point .  I think you might be on to something. This clown does come around and defend the NFL all the time. He's like one of those UFO denier misinformation deflector hahaha 

@mjm1012

Not the smart ones.  I always come back to a bet on any of these games is equal to a bet on Primera B de Chile, which I currently cap above 65%.

The books and the NFL will always clean up, as 95% of sports bettors operate in the red.

@2goodhahaha

 It’s crazy. The guy has his antenna up on any thread that might imply that the NFL is shady. 

Anytime someone even mentions manipulation he comes in rubbing his vagina claiming everyone is a clown and it couldn’t even be a possibility. 

Jpitty some funny shit!!!! Yeah he works for the NFL, he cleans toilets!!!!!!

The issue is the millennials. They all use analytics as opposed to common sense. Lombardi, Madden, Landry, Walsh, Ried and Tomlin. These are the men I would want coaching and making decisions including clock management. There are not 5 Head coaches in the NFL that know what is going on. They all hope the other coaches they have employed can make the right call for them to get a good presser after the game. This is not the NFL I grew up watching.

I guess the question becomes... Does the perceived drop in quality make it easier or harder to predict results. 

I think the knee-jerk reaction is to say it makes it more random and therefore harder, but I'm willing to stick this out and see if I can pick out some predictors that make it easier. 

It's definitely an interesting time to be a NFL better. 

I figured him for a laundry boy, you know the kind that gives those dirty jockstraps a long sniff before putting them in the washer...

@vanzack

I was curious on trying to scrape data respective to longer drives testing any corelation either way.

Anecdotal but to me it seems there are "more" 6,7,8+ minute drives than years past.

For me, the alt line on model plays remains the way to go.  Dallas -9 came off at +220.  Also looking into figuring out this live betting as whe Dallsd went 17 you could get NYG +11 for the same +220.  Staying in my lane on those though.

Happy Thanksgiving
