I'd look to see nine in the box all day come Sunday....

So much for the West. Cassel out 2-4 weeks. At least. Fuckmoose.

What am I missing here? Does anyone really think the Chargers have a prayer vs. the Chiefs? Help an ole coot out over here...

SD is 4-2 at home. IKYABWAI is 2-4 on the road.

And later in the season, SD enjoys a slightly better HFA than most, since they have less of a "weather adjustment" to go through than most.

I hope this remedial lesson in "How Not To Be A Dumbass" helps.


OK, just busting your chops. Actually, looking at the computer rankings and predictors (which are generally reasonably OK at predicting opening spreads), SD - 6.5 seems pretty whack...

but let's explore this a little further. Oddsmakers don't give a fuck what they think the score will be, they want even action on both sides (which nets them a guaranteed 2.5% profit, with no risk). While the predictors have SD at about -1.5, you have to take into account the other factor -- who is going to be betting the most on the game. In this case, it's a buncha Chefs fans.


And, well, you've been on these boards quite a while now...

Obviously, KC Tard is about as good at betting NFL games as they are at forming coherent takes devoid of "No... YOU'RE gay!"


I mean, we've all known it for years, and now we have statistical evidence to reinforce the KC dumbfuckery.


Classic. So dumb, the bookies dock them 5 points, knowing full well they'll bite.

It's really early and I've had no coffee so forgive me if I'm missing something here, but if the Chefs should be getting 1.5 points but the bookies are giving them 6.5, how are they being docked? Are the Chef fans betting on the Chargers?

Paul needs to tell us exactly how long he watched todays game before he felt like punching his TV screen and waddled into the kitchen to eat his box of twinkies.
