You have an individual who could barely run the offense now in charge of the team.  So who is the OC?  The mascot?

@undermysac

There in lies the great unknown: Darnold.

Zero playoff experience. 

Do you also believe KOC can out scheme McVay in a winner take all if the playoff seeds today held?  DVOA out the window; this is the playoffs.

A teams' win/loss record is the Siren's Call to the average watcher/bettor.  Be weary...

As of the end of week 15, the Vikings current win total of 11 has come against only two teams with winning records, GB and Houston.  9 of those wins are teams .500 or lower (7 lower than .500, 2 at .500). 

Both of their losses have been to teams with a winning records (Rams & Lions).

Begs the question who have Minnesota beaten this season that would indicate they are contender to win the NFC?

I'll argue they are the most overrated team in the NFL at the moment.

The last two weeks, Buffalo has allowed 86 points and Detroit, 79 points.  First and second in the NFL.

Number 3 are the Bears at 61.  

Eagles, Chiefs not even in the top 25 in that list.

It's a tiny sample size but it's not weeks 2 and 3 where a team is still working on things.  It's past Thanksgiving...

Is there a compelling argument to make that Buffalo and Detroit will play each other in the SB and not Philly & KC?

@JustinFields00

 Detroit is due for a flat game??? Are you an idiot?? Dan Campbell won¡¯t let this team come out flat especially in one of the biggest games of the year!!

Am I still an idiot?

To clarify, Bills 4-1 SU in second game of a back-to-back road trip following a loss in the first.  Allen is 7-4 SU overall in the second game, not including his rookie year.

4-1 SU in second consecutive road game in the Josh era (only blemish was this season to the Texans; Josh's worst game of his career).

Advanced line was -2.5 Detroit, books want Lions money.

Buffalo understandably flat going out to LA after a big win at home, they can bounce back from that result.

Get a statement win vs the top team (record wise) in the NFC.

Detroit is due for a flat game.

Gimme the Bills to win outright.

@NONEED4LUCK

Nobody talking about coaches.  Reid just wins.  What has McDermott done but lose when it matters?

Alex, I'll take 'When was the last time KC scored 30 points and lost' for $600 please.

Week 16 in 2021 season (Cincinnati 34-31).

KC is 16-0 SU if scoring more than 30 points in a game since then...

Sorry Buffalo.  You could be 13-0 right now but still not be the favorite to get out of the AFC.

What happened to Buffalo's D yesterday?

This is a Canadian based company and in Canada, over the last couple of years, very strong hate speech laws were introduced in Canada.  The key word being law.

Some of the things posted qualify as hate speech, i.e. breaking a law.

Don't get me started on hate speech...

After taxes he's taking home far less.  $3.1M is cash, he's paid tax on that money already.  After he leaves the window, what does he owe the tax man? 

Tom is what you would refer to as a sesquipedalian.

He also needs somebody in his ear piece to let him know when he's used the same clever (I use that word carefully) analogy more than once...  He must said 'A+ delivery' half a dozen times.

I get he's new to this and it will take him time to hone his craft.  But it can be cringe worthy.

His voice sounds a little to nerdy for my liking, too nasal.

@jowchoo

 You are correct.  He is out.

Pickens is active.

If there's an easier way to make $440 grand in a few hours, please tell me.

The advanced line on the Jags/Texans game was +7.  Lawrence is playing (100%?) but we're currently sitting at +3.5 with close to 90% of tickets on Houston.  Mixon is in line to go 100+ on the ground, Stroud will go Stroud.

A 2-9 Jags team and by all accounts, in the 30's in probably every power rankings list out there.

Is it as simple as 'Well, Houston only won by 4 a few weeks ago at home, so there ya go...'???

Texans seem too easy a play.

@CanadaCup

Poor field conditions tend to favor the worse-er team.  If SF does nothing but hand the ball off the CMC, it keeps Allen & Co. off the field for nothing else.  These snow fests don't yield tons of points either, so factor in some crazy turnovers.  Purdy did play at Iowa St, it's not like the cold is a mystery to him...

I think the line reflects the weather TBH, not Buffalo's strength and motivation to win.

Teasers were busted in the previous games with KC and Detroit so I don't see this one as being a Vegas Special. 

17-13 Bills.

The Illuminati got to the State kicker?  Those were some voodoo misses by a kid who by all accounts, didn't miss those chip shots...

All the injuries the 49ers have and the line is moving towards -6?  Pinnacle currently lists it at -6.5, +105.  This is pro money at work here.

Look at Detroit and KC this week and how both teams could have easily lost, never mind covering big numbers.

I see this being the same.  Look for CMac to go nuts and keep things close.

@justliketoplay

 Just be happy you don't live in Canada.  Their freedoms have been taken away...
