@chris-osborne hope we have a plan but knowing us we don't.
Couple of very small backs of dark horses Bengals and 49ers at 21 and 29 odds, too big for me both should be in the teens. I don't think anyone will want to play these two teams.
I already have a bit on the Bills and Rams but not mega confident on those ones.

Brian Flores - DolphinsFlores only one that surprises me, in addition Broncos fired Fangio yesterday and Raiders, Jags still available

@chris-osborne Oh well, settling down to my 2nd favourite NFL past time. Hoping the Patriots lose haha!
Well we delivered for you! Swept the Patriots first time since I have been watching it. Fins up!
Now I can only wonder how far we would have got with good QB play...

@martin Georgia went through the SEC season undefeated until losing to Alabama in the title game whereas Alabama lost to Texas A&M.
That being said Nick Saban has been there and done that so many times I think your right those odds on Alabama are insane.
Yeah I just don't get it I have them as slight favourites around 1.8 so it's a value play, certainly not guaranteed in this crazy sport of ours but Bama also have the Heisman QB

@richard-latimer Isnt that everyone's?

Can't believe Indy today. We're nailed on for playoffs and throwing it all away to the Jags!
Seems to me like they need a new QB badly.
Thats been obvious all season trouble is there's no decent QB's in the draft this year.
Even worse not making the play offs means as part of the terms of the trade with Eagles for Wentz means the Eagles get your 1st round draft pick for next year.
There are numerous teams who need a QB next season twith nothing in the draft, could be slim pickings alot will depend on what happens with Deshaun Watson's legal issues and what Russell Wilson does. For me the following should be looking for a QB in no particular order: -
Steelers
Browns
Dolphins
Colts
Falcons
Bears - They will give Fields another season but shouldn't he is dreadful
PAnthers
Broncos
Saints
Giants
WFT
Lions
Vikings
SeahawksNot all going to be possible especially with such a poor draft class some of these teams going to have to bite the bullut for another season and get there line and skill positions improved

Alabama at 2.2+ is value for me on Monday night (Tuesday morning).
I don’t understand why they are underdogs, should be evens at best and I would have them at 1.8.
They just beat this same team handily a few weeks ago and are the dominant force of College Football.
Of course even at 1.8 it’s far from a certain winner, so usual stake for me here and I won’t be trading just a set and forget bet.
-
@martin wasn’t a great week for me either with the cowboys losing again cards have to hope we ply them first round of the playoffs as Murray never lost at Jerry World.
As with Tua we need to get rid of Zeke done nothing for two seasons.
-
Think I have just about recovered from my NFL hangover after the weekend!
Sad that the Dolphins blew another chance to make the playoffs when it was in their own hands. Kind of in agreement now with you @Chris-Osborne that Tua is not the answer, is it bad that I hope Watson settles his lawsuits and signs for us? Probably but it's been 20 years of pain!
Oh well just means an exciting weekend ahead and then the playoffs, I'm rooting for the Cardinals rest of season.

@johnnys Ahahaha very true! I have ZERO chance of getting sun burnt

@chris-osborne yeah but I'm not sure you need that every game if you build a team to suit the needs of the player. So he is throwing around 75% completion rate despite the lack of time to throw, with one of the worst O-lines.
You are right about the run game, it doesn't help a young QB that there is virtually no run threat. That said an O-line would also help with that as I don't think our RBs get any help in opening up big holes to run through.
-
@martin That's a fair point I just dont see him throwing over 300 yards on a regular basis if ever but as you say needs an Off Line to give him time.
Although the QB draft class is weak, RB is loaded, I think you need to prioritise a franchise RB in the draft your not going anywhere with Gaskin, Lindsay and Johnson
