    That first half was bonkers.

    If you’re talking entertainment value, Winston is worth every penny he will be demanding
    Is entertaining better than winning?
    I don’t think the Bucs have a choice but to keep him

    The only way that game could have ended was with a Jameis pick.

    I had the over, so I was hoping so. Alas, just a dropped pass as time runs out. If only he hadn't overthrown two or three guys for sure touchdowns.

    Josh Allen is a pretty good qb!

    I could live another 20 years, and I will never ever see the Bills beat the Pats in Foxboro. So we're in for a week of "Super Bowl champs again" up here. Tiresome.

    Think the officials miss that facemask penalty if Brady is running? Of course not. How do you not call one that obvious? First down at the 12 if it's called.

    Allen will be even better when the Bills get some receivers. Eight fourth-quarter comeback wins in less than two years.

    And the 49ers' defense picks up where it left off against the Falcons ...

    The books are trying to set a line to keep the bets from getting too one sided. If money is coming in on the underdog plus 7, they'll adjust the line to get money for the favorite coming to balance the bets. If I'm understanding this right (From what I've gleaned from others who are betters). I think it's all about mitigating risk.

    The Bills won in Foxboro in 2014 and 2016.

    I like what the Bills are doing as far as building a team. They've got the defense and they've got their franchise quarterback. Josh Allen might not be the greatest quarterback in the NFL, but he's got an "It" factor that you can clearly see. They're a much different and much better team when he's in there, than when he's not. They need to get him some weapons, though, so he doesn't have to run so much. He's going to miss a couple of games each year with his style, because he takes too many hits. That's the difference between the Bills being a 9-11 win team the next few years, and getting up to 11-13 wins and supplanting the Patriots in the AFC East.

    Gotcha. It's just weird that not every game follows those trends. They adjust the spreads themselves, and the money line odds, all the time. It's only every now and then that I see them move that vig one way or the other, and it's never a huge move. Just +/- 10 on the scale.
