I was in LV, I usually bet the Titans win total.  Easy money because the Titans tend to be underrated.  This year the number is 8 wins.  I couldn't pull the trigger.  

 

By the time the season starts, I'll be talking about how the Titans will beat Cleveland.  But really, it's an away game and they have a good young team that's hungry.  They have beat everybody in the East, no way in hell they won't fight like crazy to beat the Titans.

 

Then @ALT, LAC,@CAR,KC,NO + IND&HOU 2 each.  We are going to catch hell @OAK.  

 

But, end of August is when I drink the kool-aid.  Things will look a lot better.

there are 2 ways to bet it.  nobody said you gotta bet the over.

I'd bet the push if they would let me.

The Titans just made Pollard look pretty stupid. He’s just got a grudge against the team he quit on because they wouldn’t pay his old washed up ass.         

Thats the entire point; of course I wouldn't expect you to get it. What he does in OTAs and preseason is irrelevant. It's how he performs on the field. If he plays well this year and stays healthy he'

whoosh. your ability to miss the forest for the trees is staggering. Insert any good QB into the equation and it's the same. When you are a good QB a bad practice or errant throw doesn't matter. When

That's what the house is betting.  The futures are for suckers who bet their home team.  No pro would ever bet that shit.  So, you bet 9 wins and they take the win.  If they win less than 8, they pay and keep all the homers money.  I don't like to bet against the Titans, ruins the games.  What if they were 8-7, last game of the year and 9 wins gets them in the playoffs and you have the under?

 

One year, I had them on a long shot to win the SB.  I was going to win about 1K.  Steve took them to the playoffs.  So every week, I had to layoff the bet on them to lose.  Ended up getting all my bets back when they lost to NE. Still I didn't win much.

guessing that was what...2003 playoffs..beat balt then loss to NE.   So you probably bet $50 on 20-1 odds to win superbowl?

you gotta ride that bet out and if you lose you lose...if you gonna hedge it you need longer odds to start with.

I guessing the Titans were dogs in both of those games so the right play is to bet the Titans with points and if they lose hope they cover and you still get to win some $$.

 

personally I think the over/under on wins is a legit bet and worth making if you think it's worth it.   Odds to win the superbowl is a sucker bet especially now.  Wait till after the season is half over and you still can get some good odds on teams with much more info to go off of.

How does Pollard saying that their #3 all-time QB on the list was better than their #1 QB change anything regarding Pollard's stance that Mariota sucks and Tannehill is better? 

 

His rational in the Manning/Brady thing, right or wrong, is based on Manning being the QB & play caller with almost complete autonomy over the game plan with two franchises as opposed to Brady.  It's not like he's the only one ever to rate Manning above Brady.  It's not crazy to think playing prime Peyton was probably harder to endure in a game than with Brady.

I'll confess that I actually didn't care enough to read either article was just banking on him saying something nonsensical like he normally does when given enough time.

Was just the line that brady is a system qb that I thought could bring some fun to this topic. And you ruined it.

Did you read the thread? Pollard was blasted right out of the gate for saying Mariota would be traded, He's not getting traded, that's stupid. Although some of his points were accurate, balls sail and he can't stay healthy etc.....

 

This thread coincided with a report from Kuharsky that Mariota was missing WRs in OTAs and the discussion was more about that than what Pollard said.

Him ranking manning over brady isnt shocking to me. I feel the same. But saying Brady is a system qb is so dumb jake and envy would have to cosign for the crazy loan.

He may be.

But Brady developed along with Belichick's system, of that there is no dispute.

No one has ever seen Brady play outside of it.  But Belichick still wins plenty of games with his choice of 2nd stringers behind center.

I stay dancing around in your head, don't I?

 

I may have to start paying rent for as much time as I spend there. 

Was it that I mentioned you or that I mentioned you with Envy?
