This!

 

Bet you bottom dollar it's within this or the next season. And it will be big.

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...

I hope not. I think these guys really want to win.

The question becomes what does he want to win more?  The game or the wager.

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.

The Panthers were underdogs in all 9 games this season yet are 5-4.  The 2nd time in NFL history. 

We're favored against the Saints.

Huddle:  all of the above is... negative. 

I genuinely admire you people's commitment to misery.

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

I want domination and I want Taysom Hill to get completely destroyed.

Im not excited going up against Saquon Barkley next week. He will run for 300 yards on us.

Rico is third in the league in rushing and basically has only really played 4 games. lol

We have the Number 3 Rushing defense in the league and your running game took us down. 

[Bear Hands]

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.

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.

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.
