I really hope not. That would be horrible for the integrity of the NFL.

But its going to happen.  Especially with prop bets.

I dont know Amon-Ra St Brown and I dont mean to throw any shade his way but...
If he can drop one pass that he otherwise might have caught and cash in on an over/under on 9 catches...  Or get tackled to keep from hitting a certain number of yards...

He's not throwing the game per se but...

It is an inevitability. There are 53 players per team, untold numbers of coaches and trainers and management people on each team, plus there are what like 20 teams of eight referees working the league... 

All it takes is a young player coming out of college who overspent and overborrowed on their NIL deal, then over-borrowed based on what they thought they could earn, then they are over a barrel. I can think of two examples of that (and famous ones to boot) already. Or a ref who has gotten behind in their mortgage or lost most everything in a divorce. Or a back-up QB or bottom of the roster guy who knows his time on the league's dime is running out who is willing to sell copies of a playbook or just pass on some real injury information that isn't public. Or how about a star player's personal pee provider just decides that yes, for $1 million they will make sure that guy's next pee test gets blown out of the water, crippling a team's chances right before the play-offs.

Soooo many moving parts, so much money at play on an industrial level. And right now, we aren't even talking about the devastating impact this is having on the incomes of young college age and under 30 men in America right now. The numbers are being soft-pushed into the background because the ad revenue is so strong, but it's going to be terrible. 

They kinda sold their souls on this one. And that always comes back around to get you.

That would just be devasting. I would rather watch a honest game.

Rico is playing on another level right now, but yes it will be tough 

 

Conditions and situations were different. If it wasn’t windy maybe 

Yeah I stated it was still risky whoever is throwing it, probably in a different post. And allowed that maybe they don’t play it that way with a different QB. 
But no way you trust our QB with a throw in that situation.

It only takes one. You can for sure find more than one that maybe have money problems or greed problems. 
Or has been compromised in some way, domestically, or a hidden sexuality, or drug use. 

The people that fix those things, are already morally sold out.

So if we beat Tyler Shough's Saints...6-4

If we lose to Tyler Shough's Saints...back to earth (again)

The results of this game will swing the narrative for the rest of the season.  The 2 Saints games are the only remaining I see us favorited in.  Maybe ATL, but that's away.  

Ehh, they can win this and still sink back to .500 pretty easily. 
This is a team we should beat.
We didn’t do that week 2 but we handled it going forward. And stole one yesterday to even out the week 2 loss.

      Also hit the over.  Banking on Man City running up the score and Leeds getting a lucky strike.

      Tailed you.  Also Free Play, which is why the risk shows $0.00. Let me look at hoops and get back to you.  Always fade Hubert, haha.

      Hard to say right now, but good thinking.  I look at this as the info we need for free agency.  Looks like we are going to free up about $10m so far; watch to see if any contracts (Moehrig, Horn, Brown, etc) are reworked the first week of March.  Then after free agency, we will have a pretty good idea. Right now, to be fair to your question because I am sure you are aware of its timing: In free agency, I see us adding an OT of some sort and drafting one at some point.  It all depends on how they view Ickey, Nijman, and maybe BC.  That OT could be Nijman.  I do not see the future OT--just a stop gap. I see the Panthers signing a free-agent center.  I think the market is strong.  I see Fortner from the Saints as a prime candidate and his salary is estimated at $6m by Spotrac.  the Saints are $42m over the cap, so I doubt they are able to re-sign many of their own.  He will be 28.  I also expect them to re-sign Corbett (depth) at a vet min ($1.5m) deal. I also see free agency as a strong area to get a free safety who can play and is under age 30.  Hawkins, Cook, and Bryant are all around age 27-28, play at a high level, and should be had for about $15m per. EDGE: Arnold Ebiketie is a good value because he gets pressure at a high percentage.  He had 2 sacks and Atlanta just drafted 2 pass rushers last year.   He has a 70+ PFF rating and will (Spotrac) demand about $9m.  While he is not the answer, he is a great third down option with Princely and he would allow for Jones, Scourton, and Princely to develop.
