Almost, but the Jets pulled defeat from the Jaws of victory, as you would expect them to do. Just hope the Browns game with them is not that close. Cowboys did the same thing.

D Bone Posted November 13, 2020 Report Share Posted November 13, 2020 https://sports.yahoo.com/someone-wagered-99-000-packers-213707746.html Someone wagered $99,000 on the Packers to beat the Jaguars, at -1100 odds The Packers seem to be a sure thing this weekend. At least one bettor thinks so. According to David Purdum of ESPN.com, someone placed a $99,000 wager on the Packers to beat the Jaguars with the William Hill sports book in Nevada. At odds of -1100, the bet will pay a mere $9,000 if the Packers win. It could be the easiest $9,000 that the bettor ever makes. Or it could be a lesson well learned that, as a wise man has said repeatedly, “That’s why they play the games.” The weather could be a factor on Sunday, with a high of 44 degrees, ran in the forecast, sustained winds in the range of 25 miles per hour, and gusts into the mid-30s. There’s also a chance that the Packers will pick Sunday to be one of those days when they just don’t have it. It’s obviously unlikely, as the odds indicate. Still, if the game ends within eight points or so, the $9,000 arguably won’t be worth whatever anxiety the bettor will have experienced. And if the Jaguars somehow win, well, there goes money that the bettor could have done plenty of good with. But in America the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness includes the ability to make bad decisions. Come Sunday, we’ll see if this is one of them. Win or lose, it already sort of feels like it is. ^ What could possibly go wrong? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tour2ma Posted November 16, 2020 Report Share Posted November 16, 2020 Give the man his $9k... and some clean underwear... No strikes again this week... although Packer-pickers had to be plenty nervous. Slightly less so for the NOLA guy and a relative cakewalk for LVR.

Tour2ma Posted December 7, 2020 Report Share Posted December 7, 2020 4 of 5 fates have been determined this week with one hanging with the Ravens' result. Somehow 3 of 4 live to agonize over another team selection among a dwindling pool of teams. I say somehow because 2 had the Raiders... and it wasn't like the Saints won without making their picker sweat a little. In the case of the 4th we bid a fond farewell to MarkO who along with the Seahawks never saw the Colt and the G-men coming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like MarkO may be aufed. No kidding. Gase even said he'd have called time out and changed the defense if he had the time to- which he didn't. The sane call is to put 6 defenders deep on the goal line. If they win on a jump ball Hail Mary- so be it. As I said in my thread- it cost Greg his job. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never pick a Browns game. That game simply doesn't exist to me when it's time to pick. I refuse to pick against them, and it's bad enough when they lose for themselves, but to take me down with them would be enough to make me start eating meat again. Props to all of those that do pick them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tour2ma Posted December 21, 2020 Report Share Posted December 21, 2020 No strikes this week. Turned out all were fortunate that they had used LAR earlier. A full 25% of the remaining Yahoo participants were not so lucky. NYJ's upset was epic. The only one in history where an 0-10+ dog by 17 or more points won.
