    I got them at a pick right when BB posted the picks. Not sure why the big line movement.

    Yes the line moved today. Houston was the favorite and then today it flipped to Jags being the favorite.

    Oh my goodness. What complete garbage. That under was a lock. That seemed intentional. I’m so sick of giving back games that should be easy wins. Garbage swings. Makes me so frigging sick. Just handing units back.

    Jags are going to blow this as well.

    I Work so hard all week to have these gems frig us over in the worst ways. Not sure how much more I have in me. It’s deflating. Two of the worst beats I can remember in a long time. All at the same time. Couldnt have been more in the bank with both and at the same time the improbable happens. So sick. Highway robbery. This shady stuff happens so much more than it used to. It’s not gambling anymore.

    Backdoor touchdowns are part of the game, but when you get double backdoored in closing time it makes your blood boil.

    We went from an almost guaranteed 2-0 to 0-2 in a matter of minutes. I don’t think I have seen this in years with you BB. How are you up 19 points in the 4 th quarter and lose!!!

    And snapping the ball with 25 seconds on the play clock. It made no sense. They were up by three scores and in a hurry to snap the ball instead of chewing up the clock.

    Ever since gambling became legal in most states, we have seen more funny business. Could be a coincidence, but I mean, come on!

    Bob – After participating in sports betting for 30 years now, been with your service for 23+ years, the landscape has changed. There are no more edge or sharp players. Too much information available on the net that probably confuses us and probably some shady things occurring by athletes for gain. I use to win most years with your service and general instinct, but I have not had a winning year in the past 7 to 8 years now, coincidentally when most sports gambling was legalized. Winning has become much harder, prop bets have diluted our bankroll’s, and virtually provided limited to no edge anymore.

    That’s why I laugh when you hear people claiming they hit over 70% of their games. I couldn’t be happier with the picks this year. We have just received some disappointing results, including blocked field goals that have resulted in touchdowns on the last play of the game, missed extra points that lose by 1/2 point, as well as what we saw this afternoon. Just when you think you have seen it all, you are amazed the very next week. It sure has been stressful. Prop bets can be manipulated significantly, and, of course, we see individuals get into trouble for it; yet, you can never get your money back from them. I can’t remember a day that I was more frustrated, as we should have been 4-1. See you tomorrow!

    Analytics play a significant role in the game, determining the totals. A few years ago, teams would punt 4th and four from their own 35. Now half the teams go for it. Many totals are made or broken based on silly decisions.
