Had no money on the game just wanted to see some of the eagles rookies get some reps in.  It looked like it was in the bag for a tie with only 10 seconds left.  @davemsh prob lost money ravens as you can tell from his bitter response 

the way it played out was just crazy depending what team you bet on 

Trading Jrue For Dame was the worst trade this year

I don't understand how this did not get that much press.  Do you think this unite or crumble the team?  Only reason I'm on the fence on this game.

More drama with Simmons as now he claiming he has a back injury and mental issues and can't play indefinitely.  I never really blamed Simmons for the whole situation as he is a beta and I'm almost positive all this drama came from Rich Paul as he told Simmons what to do.  The day Simmons and Paul told the Sixers that he demanded a trade Tyrese Maxey was about to do a charity event in Philly, Rich Paul (his agent also) told him to cancel as he wanted both his clients out of Philly.  There has been a huge power shift the players have over owners for past decade but I feel like that is about to change.  I think all the owners watching and taking notes (Kyrie also) for the next CBA.  Rich Paul screwed all the players in the NBA with this nonsense.

Trump embodies what America has always been.  Looking out for its own self interest.  Even though I don't like him this is the truth.  It is what it is.

For the past couple weeks the rise in new cases have been crazy in the Philly area and now we are in lockdown for 3 weeks starting at midnight.  It's bullsh*t that some people can't follow simple rules and it started to spread so now we have to go through this again.  

@Gochu4u

 Thanks man that is why we are on this site trying to help each other get some dead presidents 

@Silverstones

 Hey buddy if you seems like you love this Stidham cat like a lot. I suggest you make your own thread about how much you love him since you decide to put a video and like 5 replies about how you adore him in this pats tights

1-0 Happy that this isn't one of those game when I'm screaming at the tv haha

@green33

 Your correct with that they did get a lot of calls go their way. But there was some when the defense should have been off the field and did some stupid personal fouls that kept the drive alive and the result was a TD.  I didn't watch any Colorado games and watch every highlight of the past games they played.  What I noticed is that team is lucky to be undefeated.  The defense is pretty suspect.  They gave up big runs and big passing plays so I see now why the line is where it is.  I decided this game is a 2nd half play bet.  If Utah is up in the first half I will be taking Colorado.  GL everyone

@Silverstones

 If BB wants to put in very little experience QB instead of Cam I'm all for it against this defense.  If that is what your hoping for and your putting money on a toss up if he do well that is up to you.  I really don't care who is at QB for the pats because that doesn't worry me at all.  If their running game has a good day is the only worry.  I should have waited till today in hindsight as the line at -4.5 and but I still feel the rams should win by a TD.  GL with your pick

@ActionMagnet

 True that but that makes Pats pretty one dimensional.  I can't trust Cam throwing the ball, he always overthrows and with his abs hurting on a short week getting hit by Donald isn't going to help.  GL always look for your plays when I'm on the forums.

Rams -5.5 (Got the line yesterday)

The Pats overkill win seems like a smoke screen to convince bettors to take Pats tomorrow.  Everyone knows how hoody man does against rookie QBs.  The defense was the one that scored almost all the points in that game.  I'm sorry but at his stage of his career Cam is garbage.  He hasn't been an good qb since his run to the SB against broncos.  McVay and Goff can downplay this game all they want but I don't buy it.  They want to win, against team that ruin their changes to have a ring.  This isn't the good old Pats with Brady anymore and that is a huge plus for the Rams who trying for the 3rd time to get a W against them. I wasn't a fan of Goff and laugh at the Rams the first couple years when they passed on my home team QB Wentz but look whos the stud and now sadly the dud.  Goff has gotten better every year as Wentz became a headcase trying to be a hero to get Eagles fan to forget Foles.  I really like what Goff is doing this year hes making the right decision making good reads on the defense unless its a team like the Niners or they had to fly and play an early eastcoast game.  He has nice weapons with reliable hands like Woods and Kupp.  Akers at RB has been a pleasant surprise for the team.  It also helps that this Pats team is pretty banged up on both sides.  But the biggest thing for me is the Rams defense. Donald should have really good game and Ramsey should do great not dealing with pats best WR in Edelman.

Now lets look at some stats

Offense         PAT         RAMS       Defense              PATS                RAMS

Total Yards    21st        4th           Total Yards         9th                   2nd

Pass Yards    30th        6th           Pass Yards         12th                 1st

Rushing        3rd          8th           Rushing            18th                  3rd

Points          23rd        17th          Points               17th                  5th

Overall on both sides of the field Rams are excellent so Rams are my pick.  It might lose but I will put my money on a team that I can trust to make me profit.

Ohio State is the biggest money maker for the BIG 10.  Seems like a pure business decision.  But yes I agree 100%

@Winston704 Thanks for the response.  I haven't watched Nevada since Kap was the QB on that team but I agree that San Jose State is a scrappy team.  I know this game is on Friday but wanted an early discussion before placing a bet.  Yeah I notice the #1 vs #1 rushing off/def but I watching Utah's games this year they haven't gone against a good rb till now also with a pretty mobile qb.  That can wear down a defense at the late stages of the game and if they are smart can open a lot of play action.  Last year they got crushed but Utah has Zack Moss which is a stud and at Tyler Huntley at QB who did have one of the highest pass completions and had a great year till Oregon destroyed him.  I feel like their offense has took huge a step back while their defense took a little step back.  Also Utah coach is a dumba$$ I seen him make a lot of bonehead calls making his offense pretty vanilla.

Forgot to mention might be a revenge game for Colorado as they got a beatdown from Utah last yr 15-45.  Different players tho on both sides of the offense both QB and RBs are not on the team on both sides. Colorado lost the past 3 years and the first time being favored in the matchup since 2016.

Hello cover members I don't usually do write-up / discussions but I decided to give it a try.  I will mostly discuss Utah since I have watched every Utah game so far in this shorten season and I can tell you that they are not a very good team.  They compete well in the first half of games but when the 2nd half comes around they are a no show. They scored a total of zero points in both the Washington and USC game in the 2nd half.  To breakdown the competition is somewhat hard as we have a small sample size but with an eye test this is what I see.  USC is an understandable loss as they do look legit.  But that is not really saying much because we are talking about the PAC and in my opinion it is a pretty weak.  Washington won against a winless Arizona team and beat Utah.  They lost last week to Stanford and Colorado who they are playing this week. Last week they played OSU.  For the first time scored in the 2nd half with 14 points. If you didn't watch that game against OSU, OSU played with 2nd string QB and 2nd string RB until he got hurt and they put in the 3rd string RB in the 2nd half.  It should be an easy win right?  But they got complacent after scoring on their last touchdown on the punt return and started smelling themselves and that almost bit them in butt as OSU came roaring back.  Their defense got idiotic penalties that kept OSU in the game.  Only standout in that game was their star RB Jordan with 167 yds on the ground with a td and 22 yds in receiving. To me it wasn't a convincing win to prove they are a good team.  Now they play an undefeated Colorado team that is fighting for the PAC title.  Colorado should have a lot of motivation as if they lose this and USC wins the shot at the title is over.  There is some controversy with this as USC had to cancel their game with Colorado because of COVID issues on their team and they are benefiting from it.  If Colorado has the same record or losses USC are the champ, so they basically need to keep winning and hope USC loses. Also I don't think there is a makeup game against USC.  Anyway back to Colorado they are both 4-0 in wins and ATS so this line to me makes no sense at -2 at home.  They have a great RB Broussard that ran 301 yds last week. I know they played Arizona but the past 3 games before he ran over 120 yds in each game.  They also have a mobile QB Noyer that is good at both running and passing.  If you look at ESPN PAC-12 stat leaders Colorado has multiple players rank higher in every category on both offense and defense besides one, interceptions Vonte Davis has 2 while 3 Colorado players have 1.  Utah has done well against RBs but they haven't seen star like Broussard yet.  

So that is my writeup for this game I want to put the double amount of my usual bet but the line is mind f*cking when all signs are pointing Colorado.  Looking for some kind of discussion as if anybody is taking Utah and their take on the game.

I been on this site for a long time and appreciate all the vets that are here that actually discuss and give picks and their reason why.  Decided its time to step up a bit and put out good info and my opinion on games I'm interested placing bets on.

Thanks
