Seahawks 1.92+ to win their division is a value bet for me, should be 1.5 (1.66 tops). Big win for them last night but more importantly the rest of their schedule is a cake walk (if you remove the Rams). Both NY teams, Philly, Washington and the banged up 49ers. They win this div 2/3 times at least in my opinion.
Decent trade this for anyone who followed. Probably the decider today, you can green up or remove liability at 1.6 or less here. I would at least take the risk out.
Cheers for this Martin, good old defensive battle last night. Seahawks are going to be an awkward team for the Saints and Packers in the NFC play offs, can see them causing problems

@martin-futter I agree that’s kind of what I was trying to say
-
@chris-osborne the problem is it brings the fairness of it into dispute and I have bias in this view but we had to play them with their 'Franchise' QB last week, now nobody is injured but Saints get to play them with not a back up QB, literally no QB!

@ryan-carruthers they should have refused to play the game. NFL could have given them a couple of days, absolute rubbish game and pointless to even play it
Completely agree there we’re major playoff implications on that game not for the Broncos but the Saints were in a battle with the Bucs although should be ok now after yesterday. They basically had a free game.
It was shocking and embarrassing watching on Redzone last night before you even consider the EHS risks

@chris-osborne I think he was/is better than most backups in the league also he wasn't too bad for getting to a superbowl lol
-
@martin-futter Player and staff safety also seen a couple of tweets to that effect.
Steelers and Ravens should both make the playoffs regardless and 49ers and Broncos are pretty much out of the equation.
Hard enough playing Saints with a full team but without a QB, goodness only knows what the score will be. Will make them pretty much one dimensional. They do have a WR on there practice squad who was a QB in college but its hardly a level playing field and there is a massive difference between college and pro defences
-
@chris-osborne not sure what will happen. Broncos nonQB so playing WR there too but crazy I wonder if any team will try and get kapernick in...
I saw Pittsburgh out with a few players so went a put early money down on the ravens but with the news with Lemar out now it's moved the other way.
-
Goodness only knows what if any NFL games we’ll get this weekend. If games played could be some uncompetitive matchups.
No end of players for Pittsburgh and Baltimore unavailable for COVID reasons including Lamar Jackson and James Connor. There game has already been moved twice.
Broncos have no QB available again for COVID reasons. There’s talk of a RB playing QB but for health and safety reasons how can the NFL let them play. Obviously Denver won’t forfeit the game.
49ers alongside all college and pro sports teams are now banned from entering there stadiums and training facilities due to COVID restrictions from Santa Clara county for the foreseeable future. There looking at neutral venues in states where they have away games left.
In addition the NFL have instructed all teams to close there facilities for 2 days completely this coming week.
Personally I think this week’s games will be cancelled but what happens next week?

@martin-futter I agree although Dallas and Detroit always stage a Thanksgiving game. The Baltimore v Pittsburgh game would have been the prime time US game which would have been two decent teams

Thanksgiving today should be one of the highlights of the season with three games back to back but could be a bit of a damp squib today.
Baltimore v Pittsburgh been moved to the weekend for COVID reasons and the other four teams don’t have a winning record between them.
One important factor in the Dallas game which could go one of two ways is that one of there coaches collapsed and tragically passed away from a heart attack on Tuesday
didn't help to have games with 4 losing teams playing against each other, they should flex these games maybe a month in advance and vary the teams a bit more

The Miami QB situation is an interesting one, Tua was getting battered did they take him out to protect him from further punishment seeing as he was injury prone in College or we're there other reasons.
Keeping with rookie QB's such a shame for Joe Burrow as with Tua, these young QB's are only as good as the protection in front of them of which both Cincinatti and Miami have none existent Offensive Lines.
Justin Herbert was ripped to pieces pre draft by the so called experts good to see him proving them wrong currently.
Surely its time for the Eagles to pull the plug on Carson Wentz and see what they have in Jalen Hurts.
It was a bit of both but it was partly to protect him, if the line can't give a QB any time to throw then there is no point letting him take a beating!
We won't draft a QB unless Tua really doesn't do anything rest of season, we will invest in getting him some help and if there is no progression next year maybe will draft one then.
Feel for Burrow as he has been thrown to the lions taking so many hits this season on a terrible team! There was some inevitability to this, shows how important it is to sort your offensive line.
Never got the Herbert hate, he clearly had a skill set for the NFL, didn't want him above Burrow and Tua but still saw he had potential. It's such a strange culture in America to rip apart players who are so young and yet to play professionally, we would never do that here in football would we! It's like they don't understand that players that young could improve as they move towards their prime!
Wentz should be benched, at least for a game to see what Hurts can do, why draft him so high if you aren't willing to play him at all?
