happy football season, quick reminder that sportsbooks win about 3% of your money on straight football bets, but almost 20% on parlays and same-game parlays.

which is why they have all the ads for those and not regular bets

To be fair, it’s not like some other school has scooped him up, so clearly larger than a lack of resources problem.

It brings me no pleasure to recall how excited we were for Fuente. Also, given how the search went that resulted in Pry (getting rejected) and all the PR work happening now to show our commitment to football ($$$), I can admit we probably didn’t set Fuente up for success.

Penix Jr. wins in debut as starter, Falcons force two pick-sixes to beat Giants Michael Penix Jr. won his debut as Atlanta's starting quarterback, thanks largely to a defense that returned a pair of interceptions for touchdowns, and the Falcons bolstered their playoff hopes by ha...

@dannyheifetz.bsky.social I think you’re misremembering who was responsible for pick-sixes when Penix played the Giants. Hes has yet thrown a pick six in the NFL. Not saying he’s incredible, but that comment made me do a double take. www.tsn.ca/nfl/michael-...

@harrisfootball.com Love your work. Been listening for years. Just saw the week 1 ranks. Thoughts on Pollard being so low? I get the matchup is brutal, but Tennessee was supposed to have an improved OL per that ep with Ross Tucker.

So, Flexual Healing: Pickens or Pollard?

Should’ve held out for the real number, which would be 56-7.

Everybody crowning UNC after one drive needs to understand that UNC has never been a serious football program, and there’s a reason Belichick isn’t coaching in the NFL anymore. Nobody wanted him. This whole thing is just a media circus designed for attention. Flash. No substance

These usc jr. fans are way too fucking confident for a team that gave up 41 sacks. Folks talking about a 4 score win & resting starters.

30 xfrs & new OC & DC, so we’re basically unscoutable. uscjr’s favored for a reason but we play football too

Kansas City’s airport that opened in 2023 is phenomenal. 4-5 local breweries throughout, partnerships with local vendors, easy to navigate.
