They dont even hide it anymore...every NFL site has a section dedicated to Vegas points spreads now...it's in the open.
You can believe what you want...makes no difference to me.
I said earlier in the week..DO NOT bet KC on this game...the spread is too low.
I said dont bet on the Raiders opener for the Ravens too...
Both seemed like sure bets...until they weren't.
I really don't know what to think about this. I mean, there have been games we've lost that were a direct result of obvious bent officiating, but that wasn't the case last night - the Ratbirds got gigged on a lot more ticky-tack calls than we did. Last night, at least when we were on so-called defense, reminded me of a non-conference college game played between two teams that had no business playing because one so massively outclasses the other. Like Alabama playing Missouri State. They were that bad. The shitty plays outnumbered the good ones something like five or six to one. And when you add in the fact that Baltimore was racked with key injuries, coming off an overtime road loss on short rest, it just doesn't make any sense.
Either our defense sucks far worse than they have any business sucking, or.... shit, I don't even want to think about the alternative. [Reply]
I put it on Spags . Blown assignments every where. When the failure is this Colossal on every level of the defense it goes to the one who leads it all. [Reply]

I wish I knew how to gif up the shot of Tyreek's jersey getting pulled. Chris Collinsworth even said, " I don't know what a penalty is anymore when Honey Badger got called.
Everyone had the Chiefs winning last night. My guess is Vegas did pretty well. [Reply]

Vegas did extremely well with the majority of the money on the Chiefs. [Reply]

Blame Spags for blown assignments? He put players in position to make a play, and they either miss the tackle, miss their assignment or can't hold the edge.. and that's his fault? :-) [Reply]

Spags was handed a turd. This D has Jones and Honey Badger. Outside of that, there isn't much to work with. And because our DE situation is so bad, Jones is playing out of position. He can probably be fine at DE against pocket QB's, but he's way too slow against Lamar. [Reply]
The rat birds noticed something on tape and took advantage of it: Chris Jones over-pursues. Run counters all day long to the right side of the OL... Jones will crash inside. No edge is set, so the run is going to break off for a decent to big gain.
Combine that with the fact that Bolton appears to be the only decent LB KC has on the roster, and it's going to be a recurring theme until Jones learns how to set the edge (or we move him back inside). [Reply]

I think Jones will be fine against pocket passers, but it's a lot to ask of him to defend the read option against Lamar.
Unfortunately, we don't have any better options at DE, so we had to move the 2nd best DT in the NFL to a position where he'll be slightly above average. [Reply]
