What a game. Seriously. I mean, I love the NFL. The last couple of weeks have been kind of suspect slates.

And then today, it was a lot of fun. I thought even the games that weren't supposed to be that entertaining were entertaining in the 1 PM.m. slate you know like Minnesota

Detroit for the longest time Dan Campbell has just absolutely owned that matchup they

find a way Minnesota does to win that game you've got the Bears who the Bears who I

thought it was free money was the way i put it like they're covering

in this football game Caleb's going to have time they're going to run the ball for 200 yards

and boy was i fucking right and it damn near went up in flames could not believe it i mean

how about the bears giving up a kickoff return on the road

uh to start a football game against a desperate bangles team it's easy to look at the bangles and say

hey the bengals don't don't want to be there yada yada yada trey hendricksson's down you know they're

going to be selling parts and they might be after that game. But you could see

watching Jamar Chase walking the locker room, hearing Chase Brown after the game, those guys don't want

to go home. They haven't wanted to go home all year. The aspirations of that team were high before

Joe Burrow got hurt. And I'll be damned if Joe Burrow, you know, probably isn't the thing

that actually sinks them. It's just defense. It's the same old story. But Joe Flacco being able to

kind of put up the points he's put up since he's been in the building. It's absolutely insane.

I guess we'll start there with the Bears game. I turn the game off and circled it on my big board. I have like a white board here where I put all my bets and I circled it and like, you know, like did the checkmark thing. I don't know what you're going to say. Like don't jinx it that whole thing. Like there's no such thing as a fucking jinx. If there was, I'd have gotten good at a long time ago. but but turned the game off and we are watching. And I lost my ass a little bit on the, on the, the Texans loss. The Broncos went. I thought, you know, Texas would win that game. And boy, did I feel like I was fucking right again. If thickneck Davis, Davis Mills wasn't in the game for him, I think they actually find a way to get in the end zone.

So I'm already kind of like a little pissed off.

And I'm like, yeah, at least the Bears, the Bears bet was just smooth sailing. and somebody from the other side of the room is like,

yo, the Bengals have the ball and they are down six points,

which if you have Bears minus two and a half,

it doesn't matter if they kick a field goal and win the game. The only chance was Colson Loveland. So thank you so much, Colson Loveland. Menungai is a beast, dude. And yeah, you're playing the Bengals, but the offensive line, the surge all game long. And again, one more time, giving up a kick return on the road.
