NBA OFF TOPIC THREAD

You wouldn’t believe the size of the 2 casinos we have within 2 miles of the TX border. The one at Thackerville is called Winstar and it is the biggest casino in the world. That is no joke, it is.

I don’t doubt it. The Indian reservations found a nice loop hole decades ago with allowing for legal gambling on reservation land.

There is a big casino in our area and that place is packed morning, noon and night.

The Tribes here in OK really are doing a good job investing in their people. I just wish it was a better deal for all of the people in the State. That is why the Governor tried to make them come back to the table but apparently the compacts were set up where they automatically renewed.

Really puts that NBA pairing with Lebron on the back burner, if not off the table. Awful news.

I get that. At the same time, I can’t see anyone not named the Niners Cowboys or Eagles coming out of the NFC. I have to look at it but I may take a futures bet on somebody to either win the Super Bowl or go to the Super Bowl and then look to bail. A $50 ticket on the Chargers pays $1250. So if they get a nice start and are like 9-3 and flirting with a bye, that ticket could be purchased on the secondary market for something like $225-300. This would entail the in season odds on the Chargers going to something like 7-1 or 8-1.

I don’t know.

Those teams are very good for sure.

But a lot more turnover at the top of the NFC from year to year because there aren’t any dominant QBs.

I agree, I am picking either the 9ers or Eagles today if I had to pick somebody, but there will always be an unexpected team or two that has a chance to rise in the NFC.

Niners are a tough pick. QB is undetermined to start the season and McCaffrey is always an injury risk. They could win it all or miss the playoffs.

Niners are a tough handicap and it’s because of the QB position you cite. At the same time, the Niners seem to be able to put almost anybody back there and they can get it done in Shanahan’s system.

Which is precisely why I am picking my longshot from the NFC.

Do you see any possible world outside of Mahomes/Burrow injury where the Chiefs and Bengals aren’t among the top teams?

agree and if I could have those 3 or the field I think I take the field.

If by among the top teams you mean top 5? Probably not. KC less likely not to be there.

Among, sure they will be. Severalf teams that could surprise though.

Yeah I just don’t see a longshot I can get very excited over in the NFC. Lions at 22-1, ugh.

Cowboys' Trevon Diggs signs extension for reported $97 million over five years, with max value of $104 million

I would bet on the Lions before the Chargers all day

Ehh, I think the Chargers have a lot more talent on defense. I get it, just a fun thing for me. It’s fun when they hit. I hit a similar bet on the Ravens at 18-1 the last time they won it.

The saints

Na I won’t be picking anyone in that division, even on a fantasy football team lol. Actually Olave with the Saints and White with the Bucs are the only two. That’s it.
