    I'm not going to gamble on this crapfest; just simply going to watch out of entertainment tonight and root for a Jets loss for the #1 pick.

    Sometimes the best bet is no bet.

    NYJ actually has the better WR group tonight so:

    Also this bet will keep me watching the game--

    I wants to go Meyers over in receptions but it's at -196 which just doesn't pay. I might take the over TBH. Betting on Flacco looking a bit better and both defenses are missing a lot of players.

    Hopefully Flacco doesn't look good enough to get a win. I'd gladly take a betting loss to see him get pulled for Morgan but Fales would be torture.

    Another possibility is taking the over on Newton yards but its pretty high--around 55 I think. He's got no WR's and has been throwing poorly.

    One other was Perine over 14.5 receiving yards--Flacco may dump it off to him a few times.

    Like you implied earlier, nothing to get excited about tho.

    EDIT: Morgan and Darnold out--its Fales if Flacco goes down.

    WTF does JAX put some nobody in who prospers and we won't even dare put Morgan in although we are 0-8?

    It happens every week. The Broncos put Driskel in when Lock goes down and they almost mount a come back against the Steelers. The Jets put Bryce Petty in and he looks like a middle school quarterback.

    I figured Luton would throw for 155 and 2 picks.

    With your thoughts in mind took Perine over 2.5 receptions (+150). Seems like good value.

    YA--at +150 that's great value! Better than Bovada gave.

    Cam Newton to score at -115 was the bet. I stared at it too. Damnit. :(

    @IDFjet - whose that white receiver on one of those group of 5 college football teams that you said reminds you of a Pats receiver?

    He's the guy always open and never drops. I said BB would be interested (as he was with Berrios--same type)--I also said he reminds me of jared abbrederis from Wisconsin who got drafted by the packers in rd. 5 in 2014.

    I took the Jets +2.5 and immediately cashed it out for a $3 loss. I'd bet they don't score this half.

    lol--buyers remorse--I'm worried man--this looks like a nyj win--

    As long as we get at least the 2nd pick--I'll be happy with Fields

    Buffalo/Miami (OH) line is falling fast. I saw it as high as 9.5/10 and it's down to -7.5.

    Over/under has fallen a full point as well to 55.5. I don't like the line, but both teams scored a lot last week.

    Seems like the MAC will follow the Sun Belt in having lower O/U to start to year until they explode for a couple weeks.

    Hey man--ya--I was just looking at this myself. Made this bet:

    Playable Balance:
    Will look for live action too. I'm glad to see Miami again--last I heard Gabbert has not been cleared yet for tonight so we may get back-up sensation again.

    Am I reading that wrong? Miami is over 10.5 points for the first half?

    Ya--that's the over/under for Miami 1st half. I took the over.

    Apparently Buffalo has a good Def.

    Good call. I don't trust "good" group of five defenses. The MAC is a bit different than the Sun Belt but still.

    Took the over 55.5 as it just went up to 56.5 and back down. I think it'll drop some more but didn't want to risk it. 66% of the money according to CBS is on the under.

    Here's to a high scoring first quarter and game. :)

    Did you take the over 10.5 Miami in 1st half?

    Not available on FanDuel at the moment. Took the game total over though. They don't give a ton of game props for these weekday games. Amazingly they have player props though.
