 Yes, they might.

I did end up betting CLV, but I was late and just got CLV + 3.5/-113.  Congratulations on grabbing a fine line, TC.

Good luck this week.

@Yanasaur

 That is a tough way to lose.

Las Vegas wants visitors from California, so naturally they want to keep sports betting illegal here and apparently they have too much influence over CA legislators.  I'd love to have legalized sports betting here in CA.

Congratulations on your winning day.

@theclaw

 I hope you are well.

Fabulous year.  Many congratulations.

This close games query says KC is a good fade this week:

AD and tS(0 < margin < 7.5, N = 7) > 4.5

SU:  8-29 (-8.9,21.6%)

ATS:  11-26 (-5.0,29.7%)

Away dogs who won at least 5 of their last 7 games by 1 to 7 points are just 11-26 ATS in their next game.  Since they failed to cover by an average of 5 points, I decided to take a bit of a chance and sold 3.5 points for one unit:  BUF -5.5/+159.  Several of the ESPN Bet Live handicappers like KC, so beware.

I am having a bad NFL season, so I hope I did not jinx this thread, TC.

Good luck everybody.

Excellent season.  Good luck.

Congratulations.  CNN has projected that Trump wins AZ:

It might take days for the results to be finalized though.  Unless you anticpate earning interest on your winnings, it shouldn't matter how long it takes (it won't take months).

NPR called NV for Trump at 10:10 A.M. Eastern standard time:

Election results could take up to 13 days, Maricopa County warns

Maricopa county is the most populous county.  It includes Phoenix.

I will agree with you in that Trump has made MANY empty threats that he never followed up on.

However, tens of millions of people who value a free press and news in general will be outraged if Trump DOES take CSPAN's license.  There would be blowback in the 2026 off-year elections.  I want the Democrats to make gains in 2026, but not for this terrible reason.

Good luck.

While it is funny, it also shows that Trump thinks he's above the law and beyond any reasonable ethics.

Nice hit.

MizuNoYoNiNaru is correct.

CIN average points in the 4Q this year:

Scored   5.9

Allowed   8.6 (their worst quarter)

I am not a fundamental handicapper, so I have no idea if it's bad coaching or poor fitness.

This is not a new phenomenon; it dates back to Lamar Jackson and seasons 2018 to date.  Stats from Gimme the Dog (Killer Sports may differ):

team = Ravens and season > 2017 and A

SU = 35-21 (5.3,62.5%)

ATS = 35-19-2 (3.9,64.8%)

team = Ravens and season > 2017 and H

SU = 38-20 (7.6,65.5%)

ATS = 27-30-1 (2.7,47.4%)

That is a stark differential, but it might not work in any particular game (just like any other handicapping method).

LOL!
