Either way - you just do NOT win gambling. Vegas really made a killing this month with all those upsets and narrow victories by heavily favored teams.
You always wonder, for example, if the Eagles coaching staff decided to call off the dogs for a bit after going up 27-7 for that very reason. I mean Reid was calling so many unecessary pass plays despite that huge lead.
Undoubtedly because they expect Hoyer to play the second half. I think Brady will play a good amount but I wouldn't touch that one.

Not true. You can win gambling games where the house doesn't have an edge (sports, poker, some blackjack - though extremely time consuming/restrictive (necessity to have a gigantic bankroll in excess of several hundred thousand $).
Poker is obviously the easiest game to win at (greatest edge, easier competition, etc). Gambling on sports comes down to 2 things: a really good, researched system and volume. The edge is insanely small so you have to bet a good deal of money on tons of games to exploit the edges enough to turn a long-term profit.
Simply, gambling can be profitable if you know what you're doing, but for the average Joe, they are throwing their money away.
I see us (the Texans) somehow letting your second-teamers tear us apart. We're a helluva lot better than we were when I registered this account and we had Carr at QB, but we can't play to your level. We've only beaten one team all season with a winning record (Bengals) and we're 1-5 in our own division.
It would be nice if somehow the football Gods smiled down and let us win and the other scenarios played out and get us in the playoffs but that will not happen. Sadly, we will be stomped by you guys on our home field and will crush all play off hopes.
Nice to be posting here again, you guys are some intelligent football fans!
