I get an error on that link

Couldn't find individual records. Lots of most passing/rec/rushing yards markets. But couldn't find o/u?

[TightEnd]

this one? http://www.oddschecker.com/american-football/nfl-specials

i tend not to do 10/11 each of two stuff over 17 weeks so wouldn't know about player o/u

Has anyone got a view on anything that stands out on the individual markets? Seem only to be 365 at the moment

I noted a few that I'm already arguing with myself on

I'm trying to put together a season preview type thing here by the end of the preseason. There are a few teams I'm cute on and one or two surprises I'm going to say won't make the playoffs (like the superbowl champions for instance).

Things are really busy for me ATM and it also obviously makes sense to wait for at least 3 games of the preseason to start the full prediction stuff. Also things like the LeVeon Bell situation to be determined.

Not sure of the level of detail as yet but it'll be something along the lines of finishing orders in the divisions, some projections of player performances and maybe a mock playoff route to the superbowl. Bills 4th in the AFC East anyone?

I'm going to have a few season long bets (probably leaning towards the unders in these o/u markets, the nearer to the off we get, because, as we know, the punters love betting on things to happen, rather than betting on them not to happen), but I'd hate to take overs on anyone now when they could get injured before we even begin. Maybe that's just poor mentality on my part but I am not a massive antepost guy in any sport.

Actually mentioned the other day on twitter that the Bills could be awful with all their injuries and suspensions and the Ryans there

We will start 2017 with significantly fewer injuries, suspensions and Ryans.

Joey Bosa released by the San Diego Chargers.

[TightEnd]

The chargers are cheap. For bosa it will cost him a lot of money as there are better de's than him in next years draft

Joey Bosa released by the San Diego Chargers.

Chargers ''release'' a statement on Joey Bosa*

[Cavey007]

The kid is an ass-hat. He's going to make a fortune anyway. Why does he need/want the money so quickly when he'll make millions anyway. He was always going to get the money eventually. I hope no-one picks him up. But he probably will within the week

Chargers statement. I think... https://mobile.twitter.com/Chargers/status/768509903707123712/photo/1

[TightEnd]

No if he doesn't agree with the chargers he goes back into next years draft. No team has any money left in rookie pools

[Skippy]

Excuse the noob question but I thought the deal with the draft was that you got picked, you had to play for the team that picked you and the salary and the length of the contract was all set in stone based on where you went in the draft.  So what is there to talk about?

[TightEnd]

This is why this is very rare. The 2011 cba basically slotted every draft pick to financial deals meaning hold outs and non signings became a thing if the past The chargers have though asked him to accept less than slot. The chargers have picked 11th to 25th since that cba, this is the first year they are on the hook for lots of money since quinten jammer and phillip rivers iirc

Ah. Sorry tighty. Wasn't aware of that. Thought he'd just go to free agency. Makes sense. So he'll be wasting a year doing nothing and presumably get drafted lower next year as he seems to be proving hard work.


Hadn't heard about them asking him to take less, I thought it was about how he's paid his bonuses. He wants all his signing on bonus up front. But the chargers don't do that. (although could be that he recieves less this year as they try to spread out that cash)
