**Bucs at Saints** (-3.5, 40) 1:00 (1 Viewer)
- Thread starter Ministry of Pain
- Start date
is a starter once again.What a crappy line for spread and ML. -3.5 you lose if Saints win by a FG. The O/U of 40 means Vegas says they think only 4-6 touchdowns at most.
To me, it would appear as if Vegas was trying to get me to avoid the Saints with that halfpoint. Tell you what, I'll do you one better.
Saints -5.5, +122
Baker has done enough right to get people to bet Buccs +3.5, but Saints in that dome is not a spot I look to fade the Saints in. I can already hearing the crowd cheering WHO DAT with a 10 point lead.
31 to 7 Saints destroy Buccaneers. Game goes under because it's rigged.

Stop. Nobody needs this type of "analysis."
Hi rockaction. How are you?

I know who that is. It ain't the person who typed what I just typed.
Nobody needs to hear the games are fixed as any type of analysis. If that's his beef with you, he's correct.
Sorry, I read at Established Board alias thread that was you. I'll update my notebook.
I was just trying to have fun. It's not rigged, it's just uncanny how close Vegas is with these totals where it comes to the last FG making/missing for the over/under to win or lose that when you make a comment like that it suits the narrative more than predicting an over because traditionally most overs hit comfortably within regulation whereas unders are typically nailbiters.
But duly noted, I will refrain from rigged comments but boy does it appear as if there is point shaving that occurs within American Sports. You'd just hope the millions the players get paid is enough, but when they have millions they always have the temptation to then bet those millions on outcomes of which they have control over.
Less prevelant on over under, but especially in college the players and coaches all know the spread of their game. I have seen players and coaches do things that make it appear as if they are "trying" to cover. I believe it's all well hidden and very hush, hush. But the players in the game are definitely aware of who is favored and by how many points.

Agreed. There are already players betting on their own games, so that calls integrity into question for sure. I don't deny that.
It's just the whole conspiracy with a script thing is even something the NFL makes fun of because it's ludicrous. (So far, anyway.) I thought that's what you were getting at. Pardon my tone.
Now I don't even know what that is. Sorry.

It was good defense, but a bad underthrow from Carr.

9 catches, 21 yards for Kamara. Pathetic.
And Olave with an absolutely brutal day.

Nothing to see here. This is standard Baker stuff. Always starts out hot, and fades as the season goes.

Dennis Allen has zero business as a head coach. Team has talent but a 
at the top.
Carr didn't give them the best chance to win today. Just like Red Rooster didn't last season.

Don't be a hater! He's not expected to be franchise savior in Tampa and is playing relaxed. The team responds to him as well.Baker Mayfield's Bucs move to 3-1

Anything insight into Olave’s terrible #’s?

I would say that it was mostly the Bucs D constantly on Carr's butt and making him uncomfortable all day.

I don’t know about this part, though. Winston has looked rough ever since Payton left.

Maybe we just give the Bucs a little credit instead of acting like it’s purely Saints ineptitude?
