We DVR some games if we’re going out and then watch without the sound AND commercials....................

So? What was the score of the game?

[MuttTheHoople]

That’s the bookies’ fault. Always make the bets 50-50, and get 10% of the vig.

Nothing more exciting than a nil-nil football match. /s

Depends on what's at stake in the match, if it determines whether a team gets promoted or relegated, it can be very exciting to watch.

Great D - Fence - I agree with you as a matter of fact. I grew up in the Fearsome Foursome era in LA. I prefer a punishing ground game with big hitting linebackers and low scoring. Gang tackling. Backs that turn upfield instead of out the sideline.

When democrat values took over everything in life, it even ruined football. Someone told me today when I said I wanted it to pour rain in LA last night so we’d have ground and pound football, He said - that era is gone. The NFL wants points to try and bring back conservative market share. JMHO

My theory is that Phillips is sandbagging the defense until playoff time. Notice last night Rams were in man coverage not zone where they suck eggs this year. Peters is a zone specialist and he’s been getting burned a lot. Rams defense won last night’s game IMO Mahomes is GREAT so there is that too.

Michael Grodsky, spokesperson for William Hill, which has 108 sportsbooks in Nevada, told ESPN the game was a “healthy seven-figure loss” for the book, with 69 percent of customers betting the over.

There will be a quiet word to the Commissioner and this won’t happen again.

This is one thing you cannot blame on Goodell. The sports books should have called a much higher o/u. I fully expected 40 plus by at is at one side and 30 plus by the other. The pregame discussion was who ever had the ball last would win. Technically that happened, but only because of the last interception.

[Rummyfan]

True. But... they won a lot of regular season games together and I think they played in the NFC Championship game three years running, winning it once.

Not to blaspheme but... maybe Reid is like Moses. He'll get you to the entrance to the Promised Land but he can't go in himself.
