Let's see who he picks as the next HC. Not that he was any good at selecting one for the Chargers, but Pierce was handcuffed to him when he came on board. I suspect Brady will have some say in personnel decisions? I came across a rumor that Vrabel is in top consideration for the opening if/when it becomes available. If so, the AFC West will have the strongest assembly of head coaches in the entire league. Just filthy. I'm hoping the Raiders don't go after him or Ben Johnson. lol

@JOHNNY_ODAE

You can't do the split due to one of the survivors vetoing it, right? You can still form a coalition with those who are willing, and take a higher split payout, but it seems like you  might be content with moving forward 'til the end. In that case...

Tampa Bay looks like the best bet for me, but by a slim margin. Broncos have that divisional matchup with the Raiders. The Raiders aren't any good this year, obviously, but they're playing at home (not sure about the home field advantage here), but I know AFC West teams really get after each other in divisional matchups. I don't see it happening, but I also wouldn't be surprised if the Raiders pulled out an upset.

I think the Giants are trotting out Danny DeVito's son. There's a sample size to judge him by from last year. He won 3 straight games filling in for Jones, but he played against weaker defenses. Was a pretty good spark for them. He struggled against better defenses, but the Buccs struggle against the pass. There's no tape on him this year, especially with him playing alongside Malik Nabers.

The Rams game would be an ideal game to bet on, but not rest your hopes of winning a survivor league. The Rams are starting to put things together, but you take out a key piece on offense, and they're not the same team. Those pieces seem to get hurt a lot. 

The more I think on it, it's a difficult group to pick from. Now I'm thinking the Broncos. GL on whoever you pick. 

You don't want Tom Telesco making your 3d rd picks. Trust me. A big void in that round as far as talent goes since drafting Keenan Allen in that round.

I hope this hits for you, Sac.  I don't have too much to add other than I think the Chiefs can go on autopilot and cover a spread like that against a middling team like the Panthers. Jonathan Brooks is expected to make his debut in this game, and if he's the real deal maybe he gives the Chiefs defense some fits. The Chiefs do, however, have the third best run defense, only giving up 3.6 yards/carry.

Thank you.  

The funny thing is, I'm from CA and I don't really care for the extravagance of Vegas. And if go, why would I hit up the sportsbook when I can bet from my phone? (Unless there's better lines.) If I decide to gamble, I'd rather hit the tables.

Anyway, it's just a matter of time for CA to come around. I get the concerns due to serious gambling issues, but nobody is stopping anyone from betting outside of legalized books.

@Cooler999

 Was it due to your appreciation for Arcade Fire, as well?

You're still in the running for this? 

I saw above you have the Jets, Bengals, Miami and the Rams to choose from?  

I might have the info incorrect, but I know that the Bengals and Jets are on a bye week, so it's either the Dolphins or Rams. Between the two, I'd go with the Dolphins at home. They're playing better with Tua back, and it's a home game for t hem.

I'm ready to eat, amigo.  (Anything but lobster.)

 Thank you, brodie. 

Tank Dell o48.5 rec yds -110 

Texans TT o24.5 -120 

Sides/Totals: 12-8-2 (+$276)

Props: 2-0 (+$150)

Overall: 12-8-2 (+$426) 

Tank Dell o48.5 rec yds -110 

Texans TT o24.5 -120 

+ Tank Dell o48.5 rec yds -110  ($110 to win $100)

Because why not? I'm gambling that Nico Collins won't return with a snap count that limits him. The Texans are in the playoff picture, and are currently the 4th seed. But at 6-4 they can't afford to fall behind. With the presence of Collins, I think Dell will not only continue to get the targets he's had, but will also benefit from less attention with Collins on the field.


p.s. I realize the game has started while typing this. (This was posted in the mains shortly before this.) Regardless Dell hasn't had a reception yet, so probably a better value for less yards live.

Adding a prop:

Tank Dell o48.5 rec yds -110  ($110 to win $100)

So two plays total, including:  Texans TT o24.5 -120  ($120 to win $100)

BOLTTWT 

Apparently there are books where you can get alternate lines for team totals. I would've loved a TT of 23.5 at a reasonable price. But I can see myself just grabbing that live. 

Texans TT o24.5 -120   

A standard 1 unit bet:

Texans TT o24.5 -120  ($120 to win $100)

Not a good price, but the only one I have to work with.

Sides/Totals: 11-8-2 (+$176)
Props: 1-0 (+$50)

Overall: 12-8-2 (+$226) 

Whoops, sorry fellas. I meant to post this in the Theater forum. Mods, please move.
