A lot of times in sports you hear us say "they match up better with so-so and so-so" so for example someone may say "the skins matchup better with the Eagles and have a better chance to beat them" but if they beat the Eagles and then play let us say the Bills you might hear us say "they don't match up well with the Bills" and hence why the Bills would be favored.  What does match up means.....well the Eagles might like to do something something really well and the Redskins might have the players to defend that but then the same Redskins player may not be able to defend what the Bills offensive strength is.  

So to @justliketoplay ......that's why the logic of Eagles are now favored to win the Superbowl but if Skins beat them they would be favored does not work in sports.

@Digitalkarma

 Thanks for letting us know, i was waiting to hear who was assigned. 

@Digitalkarma

 I agree...not so much quantity of flags but at what point are they thrown and how crucial.  I think that is a great point. 

@EastsideBangers

 LOL, too bad with these written forums, one cannot detect the sarcasm or humor one tries to convey in the message.  As someone else pointed out, i was trying to be funny and sarcastic but may have failed in my attempt.  I am a Skins fan so excuse us having been through 10 or more years of futility, being made fun of (rightfully) and be the laughing stock of many NFL fans if this year we are a bit over the top ))  But yeah, not emotional just trying to be funny.

@LGG79

 You get it....i am a tongue in cheek type when writing in my posts here more often than not. I forgot about that that stat or what someone said about playing a game after Detroit, was it Detroit, how they were so physical? I don't think that game against Skins was that physical or at least Skins didn't come out with too many injuries other than our center which is a bad one for the offense.

Bring on the Skins haters and Philly lovers .........LOL LOL.

The line opened at Philly -4.5 and now has risen to 6.5.  I guess all the smart people see Philly blowing out the darn so bad, awful, no rookie ever made SuperBowl, can't stop anyone defense Washington Commanders! I mean Washington is such a bad team , they really shouldn't even play the game.  No one can stop Barkley and Jalen Hurts and this great Eagles defense, right? Who does this rookie QB Jayden Daniels think he is ...surely he cannot win a playoff game much less two playoff games much less an NFC Championship and go to the Superbowl. That is totally impossible, right?  I mean Washington beating Tampa in Tampa was a fluke, right? And Washington beating Detroit in Detroit was a fluke too, right? 

Eagles fans better jump on this 6.5 before it goes higher and higher, right? 

Let's Go Skins!!!!!! Anybody, anywhere, anytime!  Let's Go.

I guess we are done with college football this year.

We thought last night's game was going to be a blowout after the first half (or some of us did) but Notre Dame did scrap back into it and made it a game. Those of us who had Ohio State and 8.5-9-9.5 were biting our darn fingernails out and yelling at the TV.  So happy they went long to Jeremiah Smith and that just enough time was left on the clock where they had to kick a FG and couldn't kneel it out. Phew.

This year we had the first college playoff format with 12 teams. Yeah, there were pluses and minuses on both sides about this format. We shall see what happens next year.

Ohio State i think shows how important the transfer portal is - did they buy this championship? I am not sure but the transfer portal sure did help them but in the end these players have to execute and the coaches have to coach but it sure does help to be a big school that can afford players to transfer now in college.

Thanks to all of you guys who i have tailed or faded through the year; to all who agreed with me on some of my posts and those who cussed me out in other posts.  All good in the spirit of debating sports.  

I love sports betting but it ain't easy....it ain't for the faint hearted but i love it better than going to the movies, seeing a play or any other form of entertainment.

Until next year College Football Bettors, have a good offseason, see you in the NFL Forum for last couple weeks of NFL.

Let's Go SKINS............beat Philly!

Hmmm....i favor the OVER ones.

@Raiders22

 Thanks for you long thoughtful post.  I certainly think there are elements in  your post that hold true leaving us fans the "impression" that Mahomes and the Chiefs get favorable treatment.  To add to your points, the Chiefs have played a lot of playoff games at home and i think they may get more "home calls" so again the refs being human may have a tendency to throw the flag more when 80,000 fans throw their hands up.  I do think in all sports once an athlete becomes a superstar there tends to be a tendency where they are protected more. Does the NFL really want a Brady or a Mahomes get injured and be done for a season? Just saying. You seem to be a person who wants data or actual instances versus our belief....I cannot give you instances but i think a lot of people have seen hits against Mahomes which seem petty but yet flags are thrown. We see the same hits against other QBs and no flag is thrown .....anecdotal evidence I guess.

Anyhow it is why i posed this question...do teams go into KC face not only the Chiefs but the refs? Do teams go into KC and must play a perfect game to beat KC? Do teams and players go into KC with this impression also....

@C-70Blues

 Nope, can't coach a team but can answer some of your sarcastic comments.

@C-70Blues

 You obviously didn't watch the Redskins-Detroit game last week or you don't understand the stats....Detroit's Gibbs had 14 rushes for 105 yards with a long run of 33 yards.  Therefore take that long run away he had 13 rush attempts for 72 yards for an average of 5.5 yards an attempt. Montgomery their other RB had 7 attempts for 28 yards or 4 yards a rush.  Williams was the other guy who had a reverse run for a TD which again skewered the stat you are quoting last week. Did i say we will shut down Saquon or did i say we stand a better chance if we stack the box in an attempt to limit his success.

Don't want to continue this back and forth with you, you are entitled to your opinion....i am sure there are many who bet Tampa Bay Bucs and Detroit Lions quoting the stats you have against the Skins, the same people who will be betting the Eagles this weekend. 

@C-70Blues

 I am here on a betting forum cause like you I presume you like to gamble and i presume you don't watch every Redskins game and play like i do through the year so perhaps i would give you some insight.  And hence why I started off saying that, give you my reasoning and then tell you why I don't think Philly -4.5 is a good bet.  At least, I tell you why i like something rather than some people here on come on and say they like something without any reasoning or justification and people jump on them cause they see some posting of a record which no one can confirm.  LOL....LOL....

Feel free to ignore that I am a Redskins fan and go right ahead and bet Philly -4.5 sir.

@Battalion74

 I thought Detroit has been the best team all the year....and what happened when they played the Skins.  To be honest Eagles-Skins game this weekend reminds of Detroit-Skins game last week.

@riskybets

 I like my chances better with Jalen Hurts throwing that Barkley running wild.

All right, all right - we all read and see for ourselves in some games where it does appear that the refs are quick to throw the flag on the Chiefs opponent a lot.  Or if you Mahomes or breathe on him, they will throw the flag for roughing the passer.  There are tons of NFL memes out there making fun of this.

Do you honestly believe this or do you think that's hogwash and the refs don't favor the Chiefs?

@JoseAlonso787

 Sure, until KC gets beaten, they are the team to beat.  I was just saying that most people do want them to get beat.

Question for you:  do you really think Mahomes and the Chief's get more favored treatment by the refs than other teams?

@Boisestateand8

 EXACTLY, keep an eye on Hurts this week.  Also Philly cornerbacks....from what i can tell they are playing with some deep 2nd stringers in the cornerback position. 

On defense, Philly's best weapon is their defensive line....Washington should play up tempo all game and keep them from subbing.

On Offense, Philly's best weapon is Saqoun Barkely....Washington should stack the box and play man to man in secondary and dare Hurts to beat them through the air.

But but, i hope people keep disrespecting the Skins. 

@FillyFlier16

 You do realize that 80% of football fans do not want KC to three peat, might even be a higher percentage.

Let's get a new team going , SKINS SKINS.

@jmpkcp44

 So you prefer Buffalo v Philly?  I mean that very well could happen given the way both have been playing.

@PUSSYGALORE333

 Old school teams....let's go

@rosswin97

 Yeah, that would be a great story line...Mahomes the standard we hold really nowadays and an upstart rookie in JD5

@dubz4dummyz

 LOL LOL, Philly getting a call over KC, usually it is the reverse with KC getting all the calls.

Ok, for all transparency I am Redskins fan.  Philly favored by 4.5.  Let's assume:

Jalen Hurts isn't 100 percent...he was sort of limping around after the game; let's assume Philly cornerbacks are as hurt as we think they are; let's assume AJ Brown has a new book to read; let's assume Philly's FG kicker continues to miss; let's assume that Philly continues to lean on Saquon Barkley.

Don't you think the Skins will stack the box and dare Hurts to beat them through the air?  Washington beat Philly Dec 22nd but Hurts went out in first quarter and Barkley had 150 yards; Pickett was the QB.  The Skins won on a last minute TD with 10 seconds to go.  I hope the Skins learn from that game and the playoffs that the key to beating Philly is stop Barkley, stack the box.  When it comes to the Philly Defense, the Skins play a fast up tempo game and so I hope that sort of negates Philly's pass rush some and Daniels has shown he can get rid of the ball quickly and with Philly secondary decimated to a degree, i would just stay away from throwing in Darrius Slayer area. The Skins have traveled well and so going to Philly down I-95 is ok despite their fans.

All i am saying that Philly -4.5 is in my mind disrespecting the quality of play the Redskins have recently shown us.  

I hope the Skins stack the box!!!!!!

I think the NFL, media and most people want to see:

KC v Philly .....with the story of KC going for 3-peat and most liking Philly over Washington. In this game KC probably would win in my opinion

Buffalo v Washington .....this would be a repeat of 1992, Marv Levy v Joe Gibbs era. I think this would be a good one, story line of Daniels being a rookie going to superbowl

KC v Washington....maybe has some intrigue to it

Buffalo v Philly....eh, nah, I don't think so.

I am a die hard Redskins/Commanders fan....I hope Jalen Hurts wakes up with his leg swollen big as ever;  I hope Philly cornerbacks still are hurt, they are down to their like 4th string cornerbacks, i hope AJ finds a new book to read cause he had 1 catch two games ago and i think like 2 yesterday and i hope the Redskins pack the box and stop Saquon Barkley and make Jalen Hurts prove he can beat us throwing the ball.  Philly is -4.5 which personally I think is ridiculous the way the Skins are playing; this is a NFC divisional game which are always close but i think people still don't believe in the Skins and still believe we don't belong here....our mantra is Anybody, Anywhere, Anytime and I hope it continues with a win in Philly next weekend.

We ain't done yet!

Bad playing  calling in my opinion by Baltimore throughout the game.  They got down a couple times to Buffalo's 2 or 5 yard line but couldn't punch it in cause they tried to be cute instead of running Henry 4 times.  Whenever it comes to playoffs, it seems like Lamar wants to prove to the world he is a good pocket passer rather than use his legs which is what he did all season...yesterday's game he had 39 yards on 6 carries! In comparison a similar QB Jayden Daniels had 51 yards on 16 carries. 16.  And many of JD's yards were in crucial downs and plays.  Baltimore didn't call one RPO type play with Lamar yesterday.
