I hope Brady comes to his senses and does not play for Kyle Shanahan.  He is the quarterback killer.  Every quarterback that plays for him ends up badly injured.  I think Shanhan's offensive scheme forces his quarterbacks to hold the ball too long or otherwise put themselves into dangerous situations.  It is only a matter of time before Shanahan's quarterbacks get injured badly and eventually ruin their careers.

Refs doing what Refs do all the time.  SC winning less than 2.5 will satisfy both the books and Pac 12 conference.

Being a dumb coach is not a crime.  Point shaving shows how mentally depraved a coach is.

Both TCU and USC will win, if not cover ATS.  Too much riding on their going to the playoffs for officials not to help them if they need it.

If USC needs a little nudge to remain in contention for playoff birth, I hope the referees oblige.  SEC referees have been helping Bama or LSU maintain lofty rankings so many times.

Rich kids don't want to risk injuries.

To your good health!  Hitting a parlay should be good to promote good spirits.  

Lovie Smith is the chief beneficiary of Rooney Rule.  He is being used to fill the quota of African American coaches regardless of his abiiity to coach a football team.  By opting for 2-pt conversions after two TD's in the second half of last Sunday's game against Dolphins he showed he would do anything, even if it is morally wrong, to keep his job.  I believe he was told to shave points in that game.  Lovie Smith is a prime example of why racial quota has no place in sports.  Had Texans had a coach, who can get a job for a different team for his coaching ability, not by Rooney Rule, he would have refused to follow betting syndicates' orders to shave points.

NutinButtLove, I made complaints before about final score being manipulated too much, and some people on this forum called me a bad gambler.  I can understand Green Bay kicker missing extra point attempts from time to time.  He missed a fair amount of extra points in the past.  However, I cannot condone what Lovie Smith did after each of Texans' two TD's today.  When his team is down 24 points after the first TD, what justification does he have to go for 2?  He created justification to go for 2 after the 2nd TD by missing the 2-point conversion attempt after the first TD.  The only purpose for going for 2 was to allow Miami to cover their 14-point spread.  I would have had a big day had Texans lost by 13 or even by 14.  Instead my teaser had to come to my rescue to have a small profit for the day.  Teasers may be the answer if NFL manipulates games to end in final scores close to the posted spread, but you never know when NFL may change their mind and in what games.  Both legal and illegal bookies are trying to make up their losses in other speculative investments by gouging gamblers.  In this environment all gamblers must unite and stop betting at the same time.  We have to show all the big, fat players in this business - NFL team owners, rich players, legal and illegal bookies, TV advertisers, and so on - that regular fans of pro sports are not enough to sustain their obscenely profitable ventures.   

His vice is being too greedy.  He shouldn't have taken toxic money from FTX.  He is even dragging his ex wife down into the pool of rotten waters known as FTX lawsuits.

Lovie The Fixer had to take charge after Miami coach refused to follow instructions.  It would be awesome to have both coaches working for you.

Lovie Smith is on betting syndicate's payroll.  He singlehandedly killed Over and Houston side with 2 PT conversion attempts.  He has to go.  Why would any team hire him after what he did in Cincy?

Lovie Smith is around least trying to stretch their point total by trying to score 2 points after every TD.

I agree.  Why would they try 2 point conversions when they are down 30 and 24 points, respectively?  Those two extra points would have covered 14 point spread.  Lovie Smith stays as coach by being a Mob's lap dog.  He should be removed from the league immediately.

I am afraid Cincy will win the first half because television announcers talked about Titans leading Chiefs by big margin at half time two or three years ago in the playoff only to lose the game SU and ATS.  So everyone knows about Titans tendency to excel in the first half.  I think the books make an exception today. 

Earlier this year there were a lot more unders than overs as coaches were emulating one another to revive old fashioned running game.  Perhaps they have been told to produce higher score games now to punish bettors for betting unders.

 There are McDonald's locations in Canada.  You can apply for a job at one of those.

If you have easy access to a bookie, you are right, Surfsup.

NFL does whatever they want to do.  If you don't accept this, it will be hazardous to your health to continue betting on these manipulated games.

@davemsh

 Are you always making money on sport gambling?  Do you have spare time on your hand to watch and follow these games?  How far do you need to drive or fly to get to your legal gambling bookie of your choice?  For me it takes too long and costly to just to get to the bookie to say I enjoy sports gambling.  For me to make sense of sports gambling I need to get compensated for my time and actual cost of getting to the legal bookie, which are a lot.  I am not a bad gambler.  I just don't make enough money compared to the overall cost of sports gambling.  For people who use online bookie or local legalized bookie within a close proximity, sports gambling may be enjoyable, if you have a lot of spare time on your hand.  Maybe you are retired and have lots of time to spend on sports gambling.  Or you may use illegal online bookie or live in a state, where you can drive to a bookie nearby.  Everyone's situation is different.  Don't assume that I am a bad gambler just because I am saying the truth for most people.
