Right, but Vegas will get even by getting back to their 50% average. In every situation that's how they win.

Right which is why I bet the rams +3.5…

The public rode road faves to a 16-2 clip since week 5. The public was on Vikings -2.5 tonight. I took rams +3.5 for this reason

ALSO no team has covered the spread against Detroit (0-6 ats). This backs my reasoning for the above bet as well.

Not sure how else to explain this

Using statistics in that way is the same as people who say "10 hasn't been called in roulette all night so I'm going to bet it because it's more likely to hit 10 now."

All those past others have no impact on the next one. All the money coming in on Minnesota doesn't make Minnesota more likely to lose because Vegas has lost money on road favorites... Unless of course they call in a fix haha

Ok.......It's Randy Boyd's birthday and I made a meme of him with the "happy birthday crybaby" cake sitting on his desk. I've used that cake pic on here for the past 5 or so years whenever someone mentions it's their birthday.

@Enki_Amenra took it up a notch and tweeted the pic to Randy Boyd. I thought that was pretty funny.

VN jokes/memes/gifs are fun. That's why I hang out here..... for the fun of it.

Okay, I missed the inside joke context somehow in all the years I've been here. I was like, "Wait do we not like Randy Boyd anymore?!"

He would be remembered much more fondly if he had not quit on his team in the middle of the season.

And that's the difference between me and most. I don't let my emotions cloud my judgment on a player's talent and ability. A lot of people hate Hurd for how things ended. I don't. I simply appreciate what he did for us while he was here.

Never thought Jaylen McCollough would be getting significant playing time on an NFL roster in his rookie year.

Dude wasn't other-worldly talented,but something to be said for starting that many years in the SEC and being consistent. Must be a real professional in the facility and probably picked up schemes quickly. Good for him man

Is that like picking the Titans to win because "well they'll win one eventually"?

Kirby Smart is above the rules. Shoves an opposing player, no punishment. Criticizes the officiating, which is against the rules for coaches, no punishment. Clearly, rules do not apply to him. One of his players could get busted for reckless driving with Kirby in the passenger seat, and he'd probably still not get punished.

Man, if Butch wasnt an idiot, and would have let Hurd transition into a hybrid TE /WR and let Kamara be a feature APB that offense would have been so much more difficult to stop.

I don't hate what Hurd did, just the way he did it. But I place equal blame on Bitch, maybe more.

I hate that Hurd quit on his team in the middle of a game. FFS, finish the game. Butch didn't deserve loyalty, but his teammates did.

I gurantee Randy doesn't know about the joke either. I bet @Enki_Amenra gets blackballed from UT sporting events for messing with him. 😬



Randy Boyd is alright with me. GO VOLS ✌️
