Good news is I rallied on Sunday and hit a few Parlays in the early game with that Evans TD and made a few hundred.

That's a good call

Bucs are a passing team and Baker loves to force the ball to Evans

Noticing trends is how to win at sports betting

And Here we go again...

SF and Detroit haven't even kicked off and we got controversy!

The Detroit Lions secured a decisive victory against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, earning their ticket to the NFC Championship where they are set to face the perennial powerhouse San Francisco 49ers. As the stage is set for this crucial matchup, the referee assignments have been announced, and unfortunately for the Lions, they find themselves under the oversight of Clete Blakeman, a referee with a troubled history in Detroit.

Clete Blakeman has been entrusted with refereeing duties for the NFC Championship, prompting disappointment among Lions fans. The mere mention of Blakeman brings back memories of the 2019 debacle when the Lions appeared on the verge of defeating the Green Bay Packers on Monday Night, only to be thwarted by a series of controversial calls, resulting in a heartbreaking 23-22 loss and almost ensuring the NFC North title for the Packers.

While the Lions had Blakeman as a referee earlier in the season during their matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders, there were no significant issues reported. However, an incident where he waved off a holding call from an umpire raised concerns about his attentiveness to his officiating responsibilities.

Despite Blakeman having one of the lowest totals for flags thrown (220), he has dismissed 45 of those calls, tying for the highest dismissal rate among officiating crews. Recent history includes the memorable flag-heavy game between the Seattle Seahawks and Dallas Cowboys, where flags seemed to fly every 30 seconds, with many being picked up later.

People at work today were talking about this guy bawling after the loss to KC, more like laughing about it.

I admit I almost jumped on that ship and signed up with DK after I saw your post LOL. I've never placed a bet in my life, but I started wondering if it meant the QBs had to cross the goal line with the ball so I didn't place one. I went back to this thread to ask that question, and that's when I saw the follow up post from MrTwoArms.

I read a nice story this morning that Bills fans, as well as Chiefs Kingdom have started to rally around the Bills Kicker Tyler Bass #2. Donations of $22 (etc) have flooded into his charity of choice. It's reached 100k as of this afternoon. Here's the story:

Here's a link to donate:

My wife volunteers for a local animal shelter. I know they count every penny. We made a $22 donation Tyler's shelter. I'd encourage others to do the same.

I didn't realize he was going to make his start next season. Man talk about jumping in head first, i can see his first year being a bit rough but eventually settling in to the job.
