The implication that Bronto wouldn't get a massive pile of shit dropped on his head if he wondered how anyone could have the temerity to pick the Mets is really great.

Why do you think the Dolphins will win, TB?

Ok. Were they supposed to win? Were they favored?

If we're going to split the most pointless of hairs, I need to know.
Dolphins were favored yes, by 3.5 at least on the book I saw.

(and sorry I pointed out your mistake, not like you've ever done that with anyone here.)

I'm sure you actually just made that anecdote up, because who would look for that game and remember it 2 weeks later?

The Dolphins shellacking the Titans by (insert exact number) on the road in a game they were 'dogs in can indeed suggest something. To follow it up with another blowout over a bad team? It doesn't mean that they are guaranteed to do what none of the pundits said and beat New England, but it says that maybe they are playing closer to their preseason expectations right now.

I know, Jerloma's rants about the refs fucking the Steelers always generate heated discussions.

I realize that the concept of objectivity is lost on you but...

Jerloma wrote:That fucking play where they called the Sanu drop a fumble on the field and then corrected it but still called a PF on the Patriot for hitting someone on the fumble return? Most inexplicable call of the year.

Jerloma wrote:NFL refs suck so bad. If a play finishes and you never saw a fumble; you can't just call a fumble because the kicking team has the ball. Unless you see a fumble, you have to give Baltimore the benefit of the doubt and let the replay take care of it from there.

There's this crazy invention called Google that allows a person to look up information from the past.

Or you meant most books you saw, while Googling, 2 weeks later?

Yes I googled what the line was in that game. As I said, the one I saw showed Miami being a 3.5 point favorite.

I was gonna put a big bet lock on that one.

Dion Lewis is doing pretty great things for one of my fantasy teams.

What makes you think this? They are coming off those tough wins against the Titans and Texans.
Complete disrespect to suggest that the Dolphins have any chance to win.
Ah, so I can't ask why. Got ya.

Funny how the pundits are all gung ho for Dolphins because they won two games they were supposed to win.

Yeah they are so gung-ho.

You can ask, but when you ask douchily people just might comment. Like he has to justify it and I mean, does he know the Texans suck?

The pundits unanimously selected the Pats, because they thought that would jinx the Pats, giving the Dolphins the win. THAT is how gung ho they were for the Dolphins, and how much they hate and trash the Pats.

With the Eagles and Cowboys in shambles, we all know that this season is heading towards the Giants winning the division with a 9-7 record, and then Eli going on another stupid postseason run and beating a 15-1 Patriots team in the Superbowl. Forget the World Cup and the Olympics, that's the best once every four years tradition in sports.

The twist this time is a wide open Odell Beckham catching a touchdown with both hands at chest level.

That there was no response to the screwup (likely because it ruins the entire argument).

Doesn't taking the Chiefs plus 5 mean the Chiefs are 5 point underdogs?

Tom Brady's dap game is strong:

Reddit tells me that's Walt Aiken. The guy Brady tried to truck in a game last year.

Actually didn't see it. I don't follow the Swamp religiously and sometimes skip over the circle-jerking. I have no idea about lines when written. I am not a bettor nor a gambler. So how lines are written is Greek to me.
