Fool's Ball Week 7!!!!!!!!!!

Your home for all things Fool's Ball!

In Memoriam Danny Lee (BENDER2)

[cowboyusa]

Mets are finaly dead!

[dfwgator]

I guess MLB got their wish. It should definitely get better ratings than last year’s Rangers-Diamondbacks series.

[Dr. Sivana]

Jets just scored and I figured they were going to get reamed.

You figured right. They got reamed.

[dfwgator]

Falcons are the South Carolina of the NFL, you don’t know what you’re going to get from week-to-week.

[Dr. Sivana]

So far not bad.

Denver Broncos at New Orleans Saints
New England Patriots at Jacksonville Jaguars
Philadelphia Eagles at New York Giants
Houston Texans at Green Bay Packers
Seattle Seahawks at Atlanta Falcons
Tennessee Titans at Buffalo Bills
Cincinnati Bengals at Cleveland Browns
Miami Dolphins at Indianapolis Colts
Detroit Lions at Minnesota Vikings
Carolina Panthers at Washington Commanders
Las Vegas Raiders at Los Angeles Rams
Kansas City Chiefs at San Francisco 49ers
New York Jets at Pittsburgh Steelers
Baltimore Ravens at Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Los Angeles Chargers at Arizona Cardinals

[Rummyfan]

So we have Yankees - Dodgers. Back to the Seventies. And the Fifties!

[Rummyfan]

LOL! True. They never let you down in letting you down.

On any given Sunday.... the bookies bring in the suckers’ money(is my guess!)

Some Jets news:

Haason Reddick ends holdout, agrees to adjusted contract with Jets

"The Jets are playing the Steelers in Pittsburgh on Sunday night after a tumultuous two weeks. New York stunningly fired coach Robert Saleh on Oct. 8 and replaced him with defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich as the interim coach. Ulbrich demoted offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett as the play caller in favor of passing game coordinator Todd Downing."

And this game too passed into history. I had picked the Jets thinking that Rodgers had a pretty good crew with Adams, Wilson, Lazard, and Hall. When it was over, the game went into the standings as an "L."

"On any given Sunday.... the bookies bring in the suckers’ money(is my guess!)"

Many people don't understand the way it works. Leaving out the point spread for explanation purposes, let's say you want to win 100 dollars betting on the Steelers and I want to win 100 dollars betting on the Jets. I put up 110 dollars and you put up 110 dollars, with the bookie holding 220 dollars. You win the bet, and the bookie gives you back your 110 dollars and the 100 dollars I lost. But here was a total of 220 dollars put up. You get 210 dollars, and the bookie keeps the "extra" 10 dollars. He doesn't care who wins, but he needs to make sure that by game time, the bets even out so that no matter who wins, he gets paid.

[chuck allen]

Let’s go Tampa Bay!

[Rummyfan]

Bucs?! No…. Ravens!

[RedMonqey]

I’ll take you word for it as I’ve never placed a bet with a bookie.
I bet with friends and might have broke even but mostly I just got broke.
Same with other gambling which is why I don’t do it.
You can see my record here and at yahoo and see why!🤣😂

Movin’ on up!................

Even betting with friends, you should be aware of the point spread. If you are taking the underdog you are already at a disadvantage.

[Oldeconomybuyer]

My picks were on the WK6 thread, but I’m at zero wins for WK7…
