Yeah I tagged in on that late
Cannot recall which one thought NFCW has to be better because they have 3 playoff teams and wonder if would walk it back now that he knows they did not have 3 playoff teams and may only have 2?

Was it the Niners fan that also likes Michael Jordan and NC basketball?

Guessing him or the Seahawk fan. That comment was priceless. Maybe he thought season was 15-16 weeks?

while I think it's a little nuts to think NFC better than AFC it's completely off the reservation to think NFCW was better than AFCN.

Was USC supposed to be this bad @trojanfan12 ? I'm not on top of CBB like that to know what the preseason outlook was on them

No, but they were a bit overrated going in as well. They have top 10 talent, but outside of Boogie Ellis, they don't have a lot of experience. So, when they are in close games, they tend to resort to "hero ball" and that hasn't really worked.

Bronny (who has looked better than I thought he would) is still on a minutes restriction and Vince Iwuchukwu has been slow developing. Isaiah Collier is ridiculously talented but has been a bit slow on balancing his game between scoring and including his teammates. He's been the most guilty of playing hero ball and some of his decisions with the ball have been pretty suspect which has resulted in too many turnovers.

Also, they were depending on Kobe Johnson to take a step forward offensively this season, but other than flashes here and there, that hasn't really happened.

They just played arguably their best game of the season vs. Cal. They should continue to improve as the season goes on. Loosening Bronny's minutes restriction as the season goes on will help as so far, he seems to have a lot of his dad's basketball i.q.

I expect that late in the season they will be playing a lot closer to expectations, but if they don't start playing with the balance they just showed against Cal, they're going to put themselves in the position of having to win the PAC-12 tournament if they want to get into the NCAA tourney.

Just looked at fanduel. Bills are road favorites at the moment

Did not expect that

Jags and Bills are both in if the steelers lose this

BUT if the Steelers win then both would need to win or else may be out
