seems like ESPN has been doing this with college football too this year

9/13/2015 6:04:46 PM

Probably see the market for it and sense a change in culture.

Then again ESPN went all in on 3D tv...

9/13/2015 6:12:16 PM

Seems a lot riskier to take that stance in regards to college games. An NFL guy making $100k-$1MM per game isn't gonna throw a game for $10k. A college kid might.

9/13/2015 6:18:45 PM

yeah...seems really strange and unexpected to hear ESPN talking about college betting lines.

LOL, y'all are being all know-it-ally today.

9/13/2015 6:30:45 PM

I can understand when they show EKU vs NCSU (-26) O/U 42.5, or even hear Corso picking games 'by two touchdowns and a field goal", but having the Gameday guys directly making picks against the spread with a little kid at the desk doing it too is just weird. and that "Cover Alert" they're running now is just goddamn ridiculous

9/13/2015 6:36:30 PM

Through 3 quarters:

Denver Offense-9
Baltimore Defense-7
Denver Defense-7
Baltimore Offense-6

The Defenses for Balt and Denver are really good.

Stafford and Winston might not be able to recite the alphabet

ESPN I think have accepted the viewpoint that if sports gambling were legalized they could make a lot of money off it, similar to fantasy.

9/13/2015 6:38:17 PM

ESPN has been pushing Fan Duel for decades y'all

9/13/2015 7:02:13 PM

exactly

9/13/2015 7:04:03 PM

TOUCHDOWN RAAAAAIDAAAARS

9/13/2015 7:06:15 PM

Cooper did ok in his debut despite Carr getting injured early

9/13/2015 7:11:04 PM

Suggs out for the season with a torn Achilles

bummer

9/13/2015 7:41:55 PM

Afc east

9/13/2015 8:38:24 PM

Why does it seem like the Week 1 primetime NFC East matchup always sucks?

9/13/2015 9:50:49 PM

Because the NFC East always sucks.

9/13/2015 10:00:27 PM

So for tomorrow, I can play one of these guys:

Roddy White vs. Eagles
Darren Sproles @ Falcons
Anquan Boldin vs. Vikings

What do y'all think is my best bet?

Giants just pulled a Panthers. NEVER kick the field goal to go up 6

9/13/2015 11:47:02 PM

I wrote this in the Giants thread, but I'm pissed off enough to post it again.

Before the field goal:

Quote :

"I would go for it on 4th down. If it works, up big. If it doesn't, 99 yards for Romo instead of 80 or less. Coughlin needs to be more aggressive in these situations. My heart is pounding now because we could loose this by one point."

After the Cowboys scored:

Quote :

"Fuck you Coughlin. So much fuck you. 7 seconds that wouldn't have been on the clock if you call a run on 3rd down on the other side. If you weren't going to go for it on 4th down, then why risk stopping the clock and not scoring? This game was in hand. I have been this pissed off before after a game, but not after the first game of the season. Fucking christ."

I guess the Falcons defense didn't want Arthur Blank cumming down their faces

9/14/2015 10:13:09 PM

LOL

9/14/2015 10:43:33 PM

holy shit that game was awful

9/15/2015 8:39:27 AM

Thought we were about to have another VT-Wake game on our hands.

9/15/2015 11:13:44 AM

too much time for noodle arm Peyton

9/17/2015 11:30:46 PM

AHAHAHA what a dumbass play

9/17/2015 11:47:17 PM

"at least he held onto the helmet"

sick burn

9/17/2015 11:49:55 PM

Alex Smith can't throw it more than about 30 yards. Kinda limits Andy Reid's playcalling ability here.

9/17/2015 11:51:11 PM

That's an appropriate end to this game

9/17/2015 11:53:13 PM

That has to be the least entertaining game i've ever seen till the one minute it took for the Broncos to score 2 tds.

9/18/2015 12:37:58 AM

In the 2nd quarter I was telling my wife that they may invent an injury for Peyton so he can bow out with grace/not get openly benched pre-retirement.

He improved, but K.C. turned the ball over all the time last night and we barely won. How Peyton plays now the corners and the safeties don't have to go more than 20 yards out it seems. As a Denver fan, I wouldn't feel too bad about it if we had a solid running game, which it looks we don't.

Elway went through this same thing in the mid-90s and he won 2 Super Bowls thanks to Terrell Davis. Peyton has Brock Osweiler for a backup and C.J. Anderson. I don't get it. Although thankfully the defense has been great.

holy shit denver's offensive line is easily the worst in the NFL. they can't do ANYTHING right.

9/18/2015 11:27:57 AM

LOL at the Giants

9/20/2015 4:11:29 PM

Season is still early, but Chip Kelly is looking retarded

9/20/2015 6:22:01 PM

LOL, I'm kinda feeling bad for the Eagles. Just a little bit.

9/20/2015 6:39:08 PM

Romo out, maybe through Thanksgiving?

9/20/2015 6:58:53 PM

Lol Eagles

9/20/2015 7:23:18 PM

9/21/2015 3:35:42 PM

I hate the Colts and am glad they are losing

9/21/2015 8:59:38 PM

ditto

9/21/2015 9:03:04 PM

I predicted RW and Luck to have sophomore slumps. Maybe I was just 2 years off.
