Game Thread: Wild Card Saturday: Oakland Raiders @ Houston Texans

[Rex Racer]

Took a teaser on game 2. SEA -2 & over 38.

Seattle only laying 2 points? That's damn generous.

....um, their QB had never made a start. That's a ridiculous handicap and makes it hard to judge the team. Several bounces went Houston's way so it still might have been closer.

Yeah I watched the game. Cook wasn't great but the players around him didn't help much either. OL couldn't get any push the last 2 games of the season. WR's dropping passes left and right (that was a problem for most of the season). And Raiders had plenty of bounces go their way this year. Happens that usually when that has happened eventually that style of play catches up to you in these win or go home games.

Oh sorry didn't realize only playoff teams were allowed to talk in this thread about what they thought of today's game. Still the Super Bowl Champs!

Oh no, by all means carry on. After all, talking about the other teams in the playoffs is all you have.

 

[RobToxin]

Besides the obvious which was the QB injury, Raiders still have some holes on defense to fill. Especially in the secondary.

But, they are certainly headed in the right direction finally!

AFC West is becoming a very tough division!

Sorry couldn't hear you...too busy staring at our Lombardi.

 

[Rex Racer]

Houston dodge a bullet when Carr broke his leg. I think Oakland would have covered a 13 point spread if they were at full strength.

Our?

 

[cdumler7]

Our?

Yup my team that I cheer for won a Lombardi. Fans are a part of that experience.

Us, we, ours = fanboy.

Thanks for reminding why I hated those idiot Orange Crush fools when I was stationed at Lowry in 78. The vast majority of those fucking yokels didn't even know what shape a football was

Now pardon me while I go polish my 4 Lomabardi Trophies

Well better than the majority of Pats fans that struggled to know football existed before 2000

It's a teaser bet. I pick two outcomes, get a six point advantage, but both outcomes have to happen for me to win.

In this case, the regular line is SEA -8 and the o/u is 44. So I took a teaser on SEA and the over, so it's SEA -2 o/u 38.

Sorry dumler but pretty low class to boast in a game thread on a losing night toward a team that won 12 games with the QB they lost.

....and then to neener neener about last year's title. Cripes.

Handicappers will tell you that it's bad luck to talk about your bets until the game is over.

Not a gambler, but that is an interesting way of working around the real spread. Obviously, you need the over which at 38 is reachable if Detroit plays decent.

I think you have knockoffs just like coch bags and roleks watches You and Homer getting some snow today? We got about a ft here and still snowing since 10 am

I'm sure I was a Pats fan before you were born.

Shhh, I'm playing the bandwagon fan game with @cdumler7.


It's been snowing for 6 hours up here and we still have less than 2" on the ground. By the time it stops I'll have the 3" I need to go out and make some easy $$$ so I'm good with that.

Please.
