Other thread died. Playoffs about to happen. Not a ton of seeding drama outside of a couple games. Chiefs pissed away the 1 seed, although it was entertaining. Chargers-Raiders interesting. Rams-9rs. AB is a nut job. Anywho...
Thoughts on current awards lines (this is if you understand money lines)... I see what I think is a fairly low risk bet. Rodgers is currently -400 for MVP. National media is pushing hard for Rodgers being unanimous MVP. I think Brady has a chance, but Rodgers ain't doing anything to hurt his case this weekend, and Brady ain't setting records or taking the 1 seed. Enter my #2 guy, Kupp. He's likely winning the triple crown, and could beat CJ's single season yardage record. A $100 bet on Rodgers covers any losses on a $30 bet on Kupp. Rodgers wins, you get pocket change. Kupp wins you win a few hundred. Brady wins and you lose. Taylor has an outside chance, but he's not breaking any records or the 2000 yard mark in a 17 game season. The other bet, which might be better is bet 30 on Kupp for MVP and 100 for OpotY. He wins the triple crown and he should get one of them. Only think stopping him is if Chase gets 3 more TDs than Kupp, or Taylor has a historic game.
I budget $100 each season for bets. Haven't placed any this season. Thoughts from any casual betters?
(Also intend for this to be the general NFL thread for the post season.. not just betting thoughts though that's welcome)
Edit: Generic betting disclaimer: Bet for fun, don't bet what you can't lose, seek help if you have a problem, any thoughts in this thread are not representative of GameTZ or @Bill (lest he states something), this is not intended as financial advice., etc.

I only wish the NFL would officially announce it and ESPN would stop coverage. Feels dirty continuing coverage.

Haven't been following NFL much this season but saw the play and, man, that is horrifying. Not looking good unfortunately. My thoughts and positive vibes go out to Hamlin and his family, and any fans of his. What a terrible situation.

I think you like so many others misinterpreted his post. He literally said the importance of this game is irrelevant...
I'm not a Skip fan, but ESPN milking this is much worse. They continue to speculate and discuss continuing this game. Cut the broadcast.

It's just the fact that he's even contemplating the season in the midst of all this happening in real time. If he truly felt it was irrelevant, he should have probably just chilled for the night. I agree ESPN's coverage is worse (though the commentators seemed to have handled it with grace), but Bayless still sharing speculation right now is a little obnoxious too.

That's good news at least, let's hope he pulls it out!
If the CPR saves him from brain damage after not breathing on his own for so long, those medics deserve all the praise in the world. I'm no doctor though, so I don't know how likely/unlikely that is.

They defibbed on the field too apparently. The response was very good regardless of the outcome. Hoping it was fast enough.

Man, Ryan Clark is fired up.. so much passion..
Of course he is, he had medical issues that affected his career. Thankfully he got them diagnosed and avoided problematic situations.
JJ Watt had a heart condition this offseason, had surgery, and announced his retirement last week.
We don't know what happened here yet, but everyone is hoping for the best.

Apparently, the coaches and players were the reason the game got postponed, not the nfl.
Also, Ryan Clark is right, these players will need mental health checks after seeing this
Also, what is tee Higgins thinking right now?

I don't believe that. I think the NFL delayed the game 5 minutes... I think the Bengels coach delayed it indefinitely from what I saw. Not remotely Bengals fan.
Josh Allen looked like he was in shock...
Edit: whoops, misread. 100% agree the field extended the delay. I believe it was the Bengels coach. Believe it was honest.

I guess the NFL gave the players 5 minutes to get back to the field before the game was officially suspended due to nobody wanting to play... after 10 minutes of active CPR trying to save a player's life. That's just fudging gross... but tbh that's nothing really new for the NFL's management.
Some physicians have theorized that it was cardiac rhythm disturbance... I forget the actual term for it. Essentially the electric pulse getting interrupted by trauma during a critical moment in the heartbeat. Obviously nobody knows for sure yet, but that is a real scary concept.

Does it matter? QB should go 1, Bears shouldn't be looking unless they want to trade down. Right?
Yea they're ok at QB. Probably trade down from 2 even. I want them to shore up the O-line vs a defensive player.

Absolutely incredible. I’m shocked that he has recovered like this. Great news
