A safer bet would be that DiNucci never takes another snap in a regular season NFL game. Lay whatever juice you want. Dak's shoulder shouldn't be an issue. Word is that the team is just being extra cautious. However, he is still missing out on reps with his receivers, and he has had little time to develop chemistry with the teams best WR in Lamb

per fansided  The Baltimore Ravens have battled the injury bug all summer, and that trend continued on Monday with Sammy Watkins, among others, landing on the injury report. The Ravens have actually been one of the healthier teams in the NFL in recent years making this recent string of poor injury luck all the more surprising.

The TB Bucs seem to be everyone’s favorite to return to the SB. Not so fast my friend!!! Everyone remembers the job the Bucs D did on the KC offense last year, and our most recent memory is always the one which we cling to. The reality is that TB won the SB last year because everything fell right for them.  Their playoff run was nothing special. They barely beat a WFT which had some guy playing QB who Bigred never heard of, and Bigred knows everything, just ask him. Then they went to N.O. to play a good Saints team with an old Brees, who had one of the worst games of his playoff career. Brees had open receivers, he just couldn’t get the ball there. Then TB went to GB, and the biggest reason they won that game was an ill advised defensive formation, and worse individual play by a CB, which gifted the Bucs a TD just before the half. Then the Tom Brady’s played a Chiefs team who was missing both starting OT’s and had a hobbled Mahomes running for his life. Granted the Bucs D played great in the SB, but gave up at least 20 points a game in their playoff run, including 23 to WFT who had a horrendous offense and a 7th string QB.  Now Joe Public is giddy because the SB champs return all 22 starters. They were one of the oldest teams in the NFL last year, what they return is the oldest team in the NFL this year.  Last year TB was blessed on the “can’t handicap that” injury front. Overwhelming odds are they will not be so fortunate this year.  The TB Bucs will struggle to make the playoffs this year, and I won’t be surprised if they don’t get in

Jags are going to be really bad .   Under 5.5 wins is +140 right now ...     Wish I could bet on Urban quitting midseason again for some fake excuse.

Defense looks scary good....

That's one of my favorite futures bet on the board ....Cowboys are overrated ( as usual)

The Pats just made a great decision in releasing Fig Newton. Mac Jones will be a star in this league. All the proof I need is that coach BB has one good friend, and that is Coach Saban. Once NE drafted Jones it was obvious that 2 of the best coaches in the history of football agreed that Mac Jones will be a very good NFL QB.  The Pats also had a few opt-outs on D last year, who return this year to fortify what was a very good unit. NE’s O-line is very good, and they loaded up at TE, which is a staple of their offense. This team is built to win now, and Jones is the right QB for the job. Cam simply sucked last year, and has for a few years now. 

There is way too much love for the Bills. Yes, they have a deep roster, but the chances that Allen has the same season as he did last year are slim. The kid stunk in 2018, and was avg at best in 2019. Last year could have been an aberration, or his career year. I’m not sold on Allen being elite.  I don’t bet futures, but if I did I would load up on the Pats Over RSW, Mac Jones for ROY, and Pats to win their division.

. Betting on Mac jones to win the ROY might have value , but if you're betting on anyone but the Bills to win the division you might as well be donating your money to a soup kitchen .....

I'm not a huge supporter of McCarthy, nor am I a big detractor. As HC's go, I would rank him in the 18-21 range amongst all the other HC's. McCarthys biggest weakness last year was hiring his old friend Mike Nolan as D Coordinator. That guy has never had any success, yet keeps getting jobs. Amongst NFL coaches, the good ol' boy network is alive and well. Biggest off-season move Dallas made was getting rid of the D coaches and hiring Dan Quinn. The defense will be markedly better simply be the players knowing their assignments. That rarely happened last year. Drafting Micah Parsons was a steal, the kid will be a beast in this league, plus he will take snaps away from Jaylon Smith, who has no business being in the NFL. Of course he played over 90% of the snaps on D last year . Not only did Nolan suck as a DC, but he was clueless as to who should be on the field. For the Cowboys to be successful this year, they simply need to stay healthy. If Dak and both OT's play every game, Dallas will win the division going away. That's a big IF
