May I suggest some aromatic Skyline Chili, sir? I think grubhub has a promo … delivered to your door

Unfortunately for KC / NFL, They Gotta Play Us.

They're equally as soft as the Bills. Game is already over.

I never knew we had another RTK. Guess this is something to look forward to should Cincy & Philly advance.

 

[Tainthappening]

I hope Cincy can edge them out, but this game scares me more than last years AFC Championship game because the underdog mentality with nothing to lose is gone, and all t he pressure is on the Bengals now with the media hyping them

Everything I see posted from Bengals fans now is that NFL and referees are out to screw them... Bengals vs the World

Sounds like an underdog role

I wouldn't bet that yet. As it gets closer to Sunday it will be more and more obvious Mahomes is playing and that line will go up.

No one is saying he's not playing. It's about how compromised will he be?

 

[msgkings322]

These games are locks. The spreads will remain low. Philly -2.5 and Cincy +1.5 will make you money on Sunday.

As I've been listening to the nonstop radio talk about the Niners here in SF, I've decided the Niners are in fairly big trouble Sunday. Anything can happen but I think it's unlikely the Eagles lose. Only chance SF has is establishing the run early (which they could not do against Dallas) and owning the time of possession.

He's talking the betting line. We had an avalanche of public Bengals money and now the Chiefs are favorites *again* on Pinnacle. He's correct.

But he said people will realize Mahomes is playing. We already all realize that.

Public bettors are not very smart people as a general rule.

Then you better hope they stop betting on your team

The vast majority of the money is on the Bengals, lol.

Underdogs in my book.

For you RB's matter heathens:

Until the shift you just posted about, lol.

wow mixon sucks KC should win easily

Right. Vegas opened the line in favor of the Chiefs for a reason, even at a hedge line of like 1 or 2.5. Vegas themselves always knew what was up.

RB's don't matter. It's all an illusion by team RB's Matter.

As I've just been reminded, Vegas is trying to get even money on both sides. So apparently they felt like they had to get more public money on the Bengals. Is the public dumb or not?

I think Vegas likes risk avoidance, yes. 90% of the money going on the Bengals would be bad in the event the Bengals won or covered.

If Henne was a serious possibility to start, it'd be Bengals ≥-10 or some huge line like that. The Chiefs aren't very good without Mahomes. It's like taking away the Monstars' powers.

I think when it came to the Bills and that story, it kinda was. Now that the Bengals hosed that matchup, I don't think it is that narrative so much anymore.

football players matter and RB is a football position.

keep selling
