NFL 2017-18 season

Can't put it in tips for tikay. Because it's paddypower. But Tevin Coleman over 51.5 combined yards is 5/6 looks quite low to me. He's gone over that line in 7/10 games this year and is fully fit after the bye week and good to go

Well. That fucking stank. His yards went to Taylor Gabriel. Got himself a off a 2 yd run

love watching the Raiders

Derek Carr dislocates his throwing hand finger, puts it back, shoves a glove on and comes back and slings it everywhere

the atmosphere in the coliseum seemed amazing their first winning season since 2002!

How that game produced 57 points I'll never know.

Spread betting on that would have been fun.

not sure if you were watching but the Broncos had an interesting decision in OT, late

27-27. 1.06 left. 4th and 10 from the KC 44

options

- attempt 62 yard FG. at altitude, but odds against to get it, and give KC field position if miss (would need 15 yards to get in FG range themselves)
- go for it. again, odds against and give KC field position if fail
- punt and pin KC back, but probably get a draw at best when you are behind the raiders in the division

nasty decision, any of them didn't seem a great option

Yes, I watched.

I felt going for the FG was easily the worst option (not Bigadzing!).

It was freezing cold and although they have an excellent kicker and the advantage of high altitude (ball travels 10% further apparently), I still felt making that FG was somewhere in the 4/1 range.

I don't often advocate the conservative choice in NFL decisions, but I would have punted and taken the tie.

In other news, isn't Tyreek Hill an exciting player?

KC hasn't seen the like since the days of Dante Hall.

Supposedly the kicker had mentioned earlier in the day that 60 is really his limit. I think it was the right decision still, obviously with hindsight, maybe, and punting and trusting your league leading D would of been the better plan.

Only thought towards going for the win rather than the draw, it was a division game obviously, and they've still got to travel to Arrowhead on Christmas day, so I would assume they wanted to at least split the record with them so they'd have the advantage head to head, maybe thinking they'd struggle to win at KC?

Tyreek Hill looks a very exciting player, although anyone with a bit of spark would look exciting next to the rest of that offence. Can't be many players who've had a Special teams, a run, and a passing TD in the same game?

Also a little surprised the Broncos didn't call a time out just before the kick to try and put more pressure on him

They used their last TO to decide whether to go for the 62 yarder or not..

And anyway, there's zero evidence that icing the kicker actually works. Indeed if they call the Time Out really late, they often give the kicker the chance to practice the kick.

I was watching it as well with some serious sweats in the game. I seed the bf NFL markets for sky TV games on most of the non main markets and had a couple of incredible sweats on the game last night.

I laid a punter 140/1 on the winning margin market a tie in the game ( overtime included) he must have gone huge odds on in running before the incredible bad decision to go for the fg. Agree with camel that was easily the nut worat option out of the three available percentage wise (again with the adzdonk aftertimjng disclaimer). I just assumed they would punt and I would knock out a serious lump of money on a 140/1 poke! Still don't sure how I eacaped it

I also
Laid a punter a decent bet st 1/33 the game went to overtime. No idea why you would pick a game with a total tht low pre game to bet no overtime. This game was easily the most likely game of the weekend to go to overtime. Given the huge score the punter must have been fuming it did.

Looks like neither Superbowl team might make the playoffs this year - I assumed that was super rare but it's actually happened 4 times before, probably testament to the levelling nature of the NFL.

4 NFL games for London to be confirmed shortly

Dolphins/Saints we know

Jags/Ravens is the next coming

two more (not involving the Jags)

all kick offs going to be 6pm, which is a bit awkward for non-Londoners but the early kick offs been nixed on grounds of US audience ratings(low) and unpopularity with the teams who increasingly only came across thurs/fri this year and tried to stay on S time zones for sleep/practice etc

Boo. The 2pm kick offs were fantastic.

American friends liked them too.

Back to the rush for the last trains again then.  Definite backward step for UK fans, and probably makes Twickenham pretty much impossible from Leeds without a long drive or overnight stay.
