Got you penciled in for Mayweather.

See post #31, Combat 18 = Chelsea FC. I call them that because that is what they are. Abu Dhabi FC is Man City FC. I call them that because of their ownership.

UTV = Up The Villa, which is just a thing we say to show support for Villa.

I'm a foreigner to European Football [I still call it soccer], so please use proper names so that I can at least get a small hint as to what the fuck you're talking about LOL. Feel free to dumb down your banter as much as possible. I won't take offense :beer:

Also, is there an official award given out for "surprise team of the season"?

Na, was just a thing I asked before the season kicked off. You can leave that one off as that's down to opinion but the others are decided by numbers.

Gotcha. Take a look at the OP. Everything correct?

Yes mate. All good.

Is that QPR?

No. Rangers FC, from Glasgow.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rangers_F.C.

That’s a bit hard to fathom.

What do you mean?

There have been football matches with almost 200k in attendance before.

Those games must have been horribly uncomfortable and cramped.

I could handle insane cramped conditions at concerts when I was young but for sports not having any elbow room sounds ****ing miserable.

They were standing terraces back then, no seating. So you could fit more in. But probably cramped. I never stood on one as they were outlawed in the 90s before I started going.

People have died at the games before, being crushed to death, including at Rangers iirc.

Bengals lost but covered the spread in garbage time.

Seahawks > Chiefs bumped me down to 3rd place. Good pick Kiiii!

Hell yeah!

Gave you a crown!

Good game too. I caught the highlights. Seahawks are definitely showing they wanna fight this season. Hope they keep it up.

I thought this was gonna be the year for my Chiefs. They started out so strong! Now hurry up and make some bad wagers with Fluff so that I can regain the crown.

Well, miracles can happen.

I mean tbf they are 1st in their division.

The Browns are also doing surprisingly well this season.

Gonna spend some holiday time with the fam. I'll square everything away in a day or two. Merry Christmas everyone!

I'll put myself in for the chiefs beating the raiders. Only because I wanna see the chiefs beat the raiders.

The playoffs are gonna be a treat.

Merit, could you change the Rangers vs Celtic prediction to Rangers vs Celtic.

They're not called Glasgow Rangers or Glasgow Celtics. Just Rangers and Celtic mate :D

Broncos cover the spread tonight

-3

I am putting a condition on my Jon Jones > Alexander Gustafsson pick. Jones will win the fight. If it gets overturned after the fact [most likely due to his drug use], it still counts. That's an unforeseen circumstance. We should make that a rule from here on out.

Gotcha

Done

Sure. I did an internet search and that is what I came up with.

Fail

Sixers +4
Warriors -9
Jazz -6

all to cover spreads

Akai's gonna join the 100% club with his Mayweather prediction.

Hoping to clean up with my upcoming MMA predictions!

Any updates?

1/3

LeBron goes out in the third with a groin strain and the lakers still win in double digits. Thanks God I’m not betting anymore. That’s insane.

Tottenham > Bournemouth
Man City > Leicester
Aston Villa > Swansea
Liverpool > Newcastle
Man Utd > Huddersfield
Rangers > Hibernian

Rangers and Villa slight doubts but these are my picks for today. Matches kick off in half an hour.

I don't have my superbowl choice yet but once I do, I'll be adding myself to that. I wanna beat mindfulness as well.

Didn't see that Leicester result coming. This was the day the title was won. Seven point gap is too big for MC to claw back and Tottenham don't have the depth or consistency.

Congratulations to Liverpool on number 19.

4/6 results, got done by a late Hibernian goal in the Rangers match.

Any time you think about placing a bet just remember your abject failure in this thread.

The Bengals was an admitted long shot high risk bet that did cover the spread so I’m declaring that a wash at worst. So I’m at 33%.

Georgia Tech -5.5
TCU +1

Tech was a miss
TCU was right

You’d think you’d break even covering the spread and **** but that’s a 5% loss.
That’s the house’s bread and butter right there.
