It was a reasonable bet, but not one that you bet the farm on though. You know why? Because you never know what Panthers team you're going to get. That's the reason why I always thought that we had a chance of winning (even if slight on a normal day). You can't know which Panthers team (and which Bryce) will show up on any given Sunday. That's why you leave bets like you made alone pertaining to this team. The Panthers are still playing hard. That's a testament to the HC and the players.

OP has a hilariously bad record making such proclamations.

Trying to use logic on betting on NFL games will get you into trouble dude.

That's the one thing I've learned. The biggest bets I've won ($100 for $2,000 in 2024 and $100 for $600 today for Panthers win vs Rams), were all mostly concentrated on Panthers winning or performing well.

Every bet I've tried to make logically has gone down in flames. You might as well just randomly pick some fun bets on your team when they aren't expected to win. It's more fun that way.

If you put thousands on betting on the Panthers to win vs Green Bay or the Rams this year,  you probably ran away with a bank heist this year 

Betting on favorites is boring and frustrating to be honest. It usually doesn't work well and if it does the profit margin isn't worth it unless you're betting ridiculous sums of $

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.

      LWOS on the FO's error--my word--on X...traits, timelines, Brazzell, & indications of improvement.

      Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly.

      Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
