God I am glad I didn't go with the Bears. But there was worse then putting up 3 points on home at opening day.
Go L.A. Charges at MLS stadium. Doesn't really count for homefield advantage especially when your hometown team is leaving the following year. How do you root for them? I don't really follow the MLS but have seen rugby players starting to become popular nowadays with punting. God what a boring game. Not touching the Bears the rest of the year but at least I listened to an old timer and a man of reason.
Time to get this first week over with. In the meantime, dancing and merriment as their is a Greek Festival and I will join in! As much as they allow me to, lol. God, riding this bender out till Monday. Off topic but whatever, fuck the Bears and that travesty of a game.

That throw into double coverage for an INT late when you could of tied it. Really thought the Bears before the game that it would be an overtime game and they would win by 3 which would be a push. Green Bay had a 35% chance of winning outright according to ESPN and who the fuck knows this early in the season?
Now seeing articles today that is Trub a franchise QB? His stats weren't all that impressive last year and 12-4 was mainly because of the D IMO. Would of liked to see if Pinata, to early for name calling I know, could of made a 46 yard field goal before they got moved back five with so many delay of game penalties.
On to Sunday. Feel good about who I went with, but will see.

That was a really, and I mean really rough way to lose. I can take 380 or nothing but in that fashion .5 and the way it was done, that was rough. I had tickets to Dr. Phil, Cordon, the beach and the endless 4 man rush. Fuck them.
So now, I sit at home and watch with all bills paid of course and hate the fucking chargers. Phillie would of been worse.
Instinct was Titans over the Browns. Didn't give a second thought to Baltimore. Fuck it.
Sometimes one feels before placing a logical bet instinct. Especially first game of the season but I disregarded it. That hurt.

Doom and gloom. Why I don't bet the first three weeks. Have seen the coaching staff and personal. Have learned. No sour grapes. Just hate them. They will go nowhere this season but mediocrity. Maybe 7 or 8 wins. Fuck them. Bosa and that shit rookie tackle that the coach gave no help to, watch Indy next week, watch the Chargers next week.
It is never making up money, it is about observing and I am on the sideline but they got the W in exciting fashion! Fuck off. 30 points against. Yeah.
On to October and I will hate this team the rest of my life. 7 points in the second half, good luck on that the rest of the season. May Chucky come to life from Oakland. Just a game. But never again. Rivers has lost all my respect and everytime I see him play, I will feel hate.

Well. Going to wait till next month to bet as betting lightly to me is boring on my next return trip to Nevada. Was impatient and didn't follow the rule I made for myself to scout the teams and not bet till after week 3. But on with who I would go for this week for anyone interested.
Giants are a solid spread, lol, from last week, yeah. Not that I have anything to brag about taking the Bolts but whatever. Life goes on. Makes winning that much better.
Pats -18.5 over the Dolphins. Fitz is a joke as is Miami as Lamar showed last Sunday. And the Pats will win by 18 so take the points. Whatever. October will be great hopefully.

yeah, they covered it easily last week. Good pick. Great things in the future for this team. Would actually like to see them get a championship. Been a long time but like the Royals think it will happen as the Pats, I think this season is there last hurrah if Brady makes it through it.
Seeing Lamar through from his back foot a bullet like that for a td and the Ravens am keeping an eye on. Bet heavy and lost in a way I have never lost before. Sometimes it is best to take the first half bets.

True, but one I had money on and one I did but this makes me feel better. Seeing a 150,000 betting ticket kinds of put my loss in perspective. Liked this article. Jets are also in a extreemly bad shape but the Dolphins are getting rid of every good player they have. It is like the Marlins used to be without the championships.

Baltimore at K.C. is the best game next week IMO. Not because I am sure I am win I just think it is the most entertaining matchup. At K.C. and the great 6.5 spread which they make most of the time so you will take the favorite. I'm going with Baltimore and the points.
If you want to continue this through the year if you beat me there will be a prize or for anyone else that wants to join. Week three is the deadline. A gift certificate worth 50 dollars to anything of one's choice. Legal of course. Have permission to do this from a mod like I wrote before so let the weeks go by.
I get nothing from it but learning and some fun competition.
With it a bit of gloating if it turns out that way. Mahomes can't be superman each week and speaking about QB's, what the hell has happened to Cam Newton? Horrid.

Cam is injured, maybe for good. He has had two shoulder surgeries back to back and hasn't recovered, that's what is up with him.

Makes sense why he has no accuracy. After a great year a bit back teams just layed into him and he said the game wasn't fun for him anymore. I mean it was brutal like the old time NFL.
Is easy to judge when one doesn't know all the injuries and everything pumped into a human being to get them on the field as teams do their best to not let the other team know so they don't go after the injured parts. That's football. Love McCaffery though and the name that cannot be pronounced Luke K.
Have lost a lot in a row on Cam starts. Will be interesting how the season progresses for the Panthers.

Well his Superbowl Season he basically shit on the league and all the players so the following year they were out to hurt him. I clearly remember that and it was apparent as the refs let players destroy him all season. Fast forward to the future and now he's badly injured and just grinding out his contract, he really needed to be more humble instead of enraging everyone. That being said I hope he heals up and moves on, I mean he's super rich so he should be fine.

Yeah, money really doesn't mean much. Seau taking a shotgun to his chest. Jerome Bettis walking like an 80 year man down the stairs with a cane to do an interview at his home. And whatever the NFL edits out or media involved with it.
Love the sport and feel no guilt supporting it. Also why Luck I don't blame him. Or Barry Sanders when they said you have the chance to break the all time rushing record over Walter before Smith did it but some prefer other routes in life.
Have a pick yet? Thursdays count as well if you want to play the game. Or not. Just one a week and see if anyone else joins. Seems you are knowledgeable. So won't end the thread regardless, unless it dies.

My pick is done. Count it. Even if it is you and me, if you want to see who wins at the end it is worth it.
And I will do what really matters and bet again with real money in Nevada but that is my business. This is something that will never be about it. Besides if I go off on a horrible loss, analyzing most plays of a game but I am sure you get it. And if I win, maybe no venting as a friend once told me.
Seriously the Chargers game was the shittiest I have ever lost and I bet within reason. This is only for amusement purposes meaning a gift card to whatever you see at a supermarket and that spin wheel or at the counter. If you can beat me at the end of the season, I keep my word.
Not many sports fans on the Shroomery nowadays but I like to post as I live in Utah and on other threads, I also learn things in my life experience and some people get it. I love nature overall and this is a pastime like Winter.
So 1-1 if you choose to continue. All the past sports fan posters, really, all of them, no longer post but the Shroomery. Same for anyone. Make your pick.
Just a joke. Take your time if you choose to play this season. Or anyone else. After week 3. I feel a lot more confident. But the reward will be honored and remain if I lose if anyone else, sports fan or not, wants to join in with no enterance fee, no knowledge of the sport like a mans girlfriend or wife, sometimes they have better logic, and on it goes.
Baltimore and Reid being Reid. OH THE MONEY CONCERNS! Sucks losing the first one, but on with life. Don't know, should be entertaining though.

I never got in the first week after the Bears game because I had a 15 hour esophageal spasm from Saturday night till Sunday afternoon. I hadn't had one since New Years Day and I thought I was done with them. They usually lasted 5 minutes to an hour.

That sucks. Sounds miserable. If you want to join you are welcome to. Just post it on this thread. The other one will just be about the NFL without that aspect to it involved.
Will start keeping track with week 4. This week is null.
