35-36 headed into this last regular season weekend...

Browns end the streak vs the resting Steelers so play the +200 ML to double your money.

49r’s continues their own streak vs the resting Rams, -5.5

Miami +2.5(small play) vs Bills
Denver -2.5 vs Chiefs

And the bet of the day, the ‘Get Your Detroit Cash Back Play’ take the Colts -5 v Houston for a whole lot...a whole, whole lot.

WHO YOU GOT?
 
The curse of the deflategate liars lives on!
3 wasted seasons for the Colts
3 wasted seasons for the Ravens

Pig guano... fired.
 
Colts too care of business yesterday though...and thats all that mattered to me.

That and my career day on AOTF Draftkings too!
 
another decade of dominance...

Facts around the tired "weak division" argument.

Since the 2002 division realignment,

The NFL teams had the best records outside their own division:
  • New England: 0.769
  • Pittsburgh: 0.616 (not even close)
  • Indianapolis: 0.594
  • Denver: 0.581
  • Green Bay: 0.575
percentage of total wins coming from within the division, among these top 5 teams since 2002:
  • Indianapolis: 42.1%
  • Green Bay: 41.4%
  • Pittsburgh: 41.0%
  • Denver: 38.0%
  • New England: 37.9%
logical conclusion: Indy, Green Bay, Pittsburgh, and Denver have been the biggest beneficiaries of playing in a weak division, since 2002.

In fact, the Patriots have feasted on 4 of the 7 other divisions at a higher rate than they have defeated their in-division opponents.

Also the Patriots have a 25-9 record in the playoffs. That's a .735 record. So high that in each year that they don't win a championship, it goes down.

This is not tied to any one person. It is a franchise dynasty the likes of which have never been approached in any salary-capped sport.

Stop already. Nobody cares.
