If you really think the NFL fixes the game for the Patriots

[theDonger]

I do have empathy for losing a key linemen, but that just happens each and every week in the NFL. It's supposed to be next man up.

And that right there is the difference between you and Tony Romo. Dude was mocking the injury while it played back in slow-motion. Then, later, he accused the "hometown" clock keeper for rigging the gameclock to have :01 left in the 2nd half.

Either Romo had Tenn +14 last night, or he's a clueless idiot. Or both.

It was Mariota's injury more than that, Mariota is useless if he cannot roll out, scramble, run for 1st downs.

I saw the coach's excuse, excuses are a dime a dozen, he was outcoached at every level. His HOF defensive coordinator can't stop Tom Brady, never has. There's a long history here

Marriota didn't make it an excuse, he said he was embarrassed by his performance. And since Marriota was hampered by a hamstring injury the last several weeks of the season, that's just the type of injury that lags and recurs often

Nice try.
Willie, he ran well last game of the year vs Jax and very well their first playoff game vs KC, and went right through NE on their 1st Q TD drive, he was OK.
It was not an excuse. Explain why he didn't roll out or scramble the rest of the game? Please explain.

Willie,

You know as well as I do when the official mismarked the spot by 6 inches with 5:23 left in the 1st quarter, making it 3rd and 6.16 instead of 3rd and 6, that completely changed the whole dynamic of the game, and threw the momentum to the Patriots. Had it not been for that bad spot, the Titans obviously would have won that game. It happens all the time and this is why the Patriots have won so many Superbowls.

containment schemes, it's the kinda stuff the Patriots do exceptionally well (especially so late in the year)

the Patriots blew up the Titans on the line of scrimmage, they absolutely destroyed them, there's nothing Marriota can do. (and that's why I had more empathy for the lost offensive lineman more than one (or two) bad penalties)

Maybe the Titans offensive line depth is severely lacking, IDK





BTW: this thread is not going in the direction I intended it to go. I'm not a guy that comes in here and tell somebody they obviously picked the wrong team and they should have known better. What I clearly asked was this, "if you think the NFL fixes games for the Patriots, then why do you bet against the Patriots"? Why do you bet against the fix? Ain't that fucking stupid?

I didn't ask why would anybody pick the Titans, I understand why somebody would do that

and I thought it was the Titans not wanting to sack Brady because they were afraid to draw a roughing the passer penalty, damn

I bet NE practically every week. It sickens me but you can't bet against having an extra 5 or so men on the field plus the Commish (Connish). Its been going on since the Raider game back in 2001 or so. Made up tuck rule for convenience, time out calls allow in Baltimore during "perfect season" year, offensive line holding every other play, every other year scandals.... you can go on and on, but deal with it, just bet them and be happy going to the cashier's cage for your winnings. The NFL is just a variation of a casino.
It can get tough when the spread goes to double digits with back door TD's etc., but most of the time the National Fixed League will find a way.
Did anyone see Belefix throw the challenge flag with just a minute or so left challenging a catch when they had a 35-7 lead, game in the bag! You think he had the under? it tough to say if it is "fully fixed" or not, but damn alot of coincidences week in and week out when it comes to the spread. shanked extra points etc.
Always enjoy everyone's opinion back and forth and been a religious reader of many of you for the past several years, thank you.
Don't have a strong feel about the games today except lean a little vikes at -4, not sure about the -5.5 now. Will definitely follow the RX for some guidance today.

I think you answered your own question. Yeah, it is fucking stupid if you truly believe it and don't bet that way. It would be like having insider information on the stock market, and the FBI said they'd look the other way, and not only do you not use the information, but invest in the other direction.

THREAD CLOSED

Willie, It's just not about betting the game. Take the money out of it, don't you want to see a fair game. You are watching the steelers game today, and they get those same ridiculous calls, and you have no money on the game how do you feel. That game last night changed my outlook on football.

 

[hardworker]

Not to mention every play is a replay, wtf, I can't take it anymore, just play the game.

 

[cashflowmatters]

Can't wait until next Sunday to see what the zebras come up with........hopefully its a Pats vs Pitt matchup.

Rest assured the Pats will get a crucial call in their favor at some point, it's actually comical. The motion penalty that some how turned into an offsides & a 1st down for the Pats was the best.... the nfl is a joke.

 

[PickDaFix]

good point, totally agree. Even die hard Pats fans can admit that cash flow

 

[tlee4lizard]

Willie much respect for you.. But I don't just bet against a team I like or don't like. It has zero reason for my bet..
But to say the refs didn't take that game over would be an understatement. Who would believe it would be so obvious..
Up 7-0 refs took over
7-7 I will say.
Clearly Decker was not pass interference . That gave Pat's 7 points.. who knows if Tenn could have kept drive alive.
Then the face mask NO CALL
THE 1 Second on the clock to kick FG.
Almost forgot the huge offsides continuing the Pats drive on 4th down.
Gronk never called for pass interference.
Both beginning drives for Tenn at start of 2nd half refs called penalties putting them in a big hole.
I agree Pat's are better but 13- spread is an easy back door.
I agree Tenn D not that good but who knows how the game goes if called even. .

And never feel disrespected by you ,your a stand up guy but I shouldn't have to take refs into consideration when making my bets..

 

[bigwang]

BOL to you as well, looks like at least one of us is going to win one game

I'm probably playing the Saints, I just think Drew Brees won't lose this game and that's not disrespecting Minnesota

I understand your logic but I’ve been on the Minny money train all season so today is a free roll on them. I just like the way they attack on defense. If they get out to a fast start it is over for Saints.

BOL

I didn't say you should or shouldn't take the refs into play.

What I'm saying that "IF" you believe the refs always help the Patriots, then shouldn't you be betting the Patriots? There are people that say every week the NFL fixes games for the Patriots, yet they keep betting against the Patriots, does that make any sense?

As for playing the Titans yesterday, I get it. As for being mad at some calls, I get that too, I'm not debating that stuff.

But if somebody truly believes the game is fixed, then shouldn't they go with the fix? That's the point I'm making

 

[SunDodger]

Because New England is 34-42 ATS when favored by 9+ points and Tom Brady starts, 4-4 ATS this season. As a bettor, you still have to pick your spots.

Just because the refs help the Patriots SU, doesn't mean they are going to help them ATS.

 

[bigwang]

You complain about the refs and the Patriots every week, you choose to bet against the Patriots when you think it's fixed for them, and then you call me a pussy

If you think the NFL is fixed, why don't you go with the fix? That's what this thread is all about.

If I think the dice are loaded, I'm not going to bet against the fucking 7 coming out

She is just butthurt because she can’t pick a winner.

Love the excuses being made by Titans and their backers. The 2 teams could play 100 times and Titans couldn’t keep a single game within single digits. One team is elite and the other is below average at best.

I did not have a penny on the ne/tenn game because I refuse to bet games that NE plays in, simple rule! If for one second you dont believe NE gets favorable calls you are living in a bubble. No question they are far better than Tenn, I simply question the ref bias for them in all games. The motion penalty that turned into an offsides is a wonderful example. NE goes from punting out of their own end zone to getting a 1st down & the possesion turned into a NE TD. If you don't think things like this make a difference you live on a different planet .
