NFL 2017-18 season

Mr Channing on NFL North.....

When were these recorded? I'm guessing before Bridgewater got injured?

Eddie Lacy is only 26 fwiw.

Tuesday of last week, as per my intro.

The vikings quarterback got injured after he tipped them, so you can ignore that one.

Oh, I have.

Ignored them all, especially when he shouts what a price about the Cardinals being 9/1 for the Super Bowl. Don't know how he kept a straight face trying to big up the worst industry price to the mugs watching.

Neil just is one of the most knowledgeable people in gambling*.  If people just only ever listened to him when he talks about betting hey should be winning gamblers.  

Obviously when on a Sky betting show, he is going to have to stick to Sky prices, but anyone with a modicum of betting sense could look for the best price on his tips.

So many charlatans out there putting up bet365 accas to make commission, and you go after one of the good guys.  I can't think of anybody I have learned more from.

I've not gone after anybody. Merely stated what I watched and what he said. He puts himself out there he's going to create opinions and posts and i'm sure he knows this and has had much worse than me effectively quoting what he says and wondering how he can keep a straight face whilst saying it.

I guess you are a fan/friend of his as any other rando getting the same said about them you wouldn't even bat an eyelid i'm sure.

I'll put in a disclaimer first, Neil is a mate and we go back nearly 40 years now. So take this post with a pinch of salt if you wish.

Neil is sponsored by Skybet and it is a Skybet programme.

Obviously on an NFL betting preview show, he's going to have to give an outright selection.

What do you want him to do? Lie about who he fancies and pick a team who are best priced with Skybet (if there is one)? Or put up theteam he has backed at a slightly lower price offered by his sponsor?

It's a no win situation for Neil, and it is very possible he thinks Arizona are value at 9/1 even if they are available at a bigger price elsewhere.

I suppose he could have something like "I prefer to wait a few weeks before playing outright usually".

But I'm guessing S*ybet pressed him to make a pick.

Those were the 3 tips written by tighty on the betting emporium preview.  So I guess they were all discussed between the two.  So I think it is pretty clear he likely thought they were, at least, reasonable bets at best prices.  Even if people didn't like the prices on Sky, it was pretty easy to see what Neil wanted to say, but couldn't. 

And just for Matty, of course I am not going to defend a random in the same way, because pretty much zero percent of randoms are as wise as Neil when it comes to betting.  He just gets it.  I simply didn't think it showed great insight to come on here saying that you didn't back any of these tips, and then proceed to attack him.  In my OP I was just letting people know that you could now take the Vikings rec with a pinch of salt as circumstances had changed since the preview was aired.

Eddie Lacy an older guy? Hes barely out of college, what on earth!!!

And Randall Cobb is also 26. And Rodgers and Nelson at 32 and 31 respectively are in their absolute prime. Not too many old stagers in their defence either nowadays, TJ Lang 28, Clay Matthews 30, Haha Clinton Dix 23, Micah Hyde 25, don't get this reasoning at all.

You must be in the clique to get away with feeling no backlash for daring to disagree with something Neil Channing says.

As for attacking Channing, take your fanboy glasses off. Yeah he's paid and sponsored to do a job that's all fine but he's not obligated to shout WHAT A PRICE at the end of it - yet chose to. Purely there making selections on everything they throw infront of him to try and drum up trade for Skybet and nothing else, which is why these selections just simply cannot be followed. And that is why I said i've not followed anything & expressed my dislike for his comment - lolattack.

Dara Kennedy again lead presenter with Sky.

I think Kevin Cadle pissed off SKY when promoting his book on the programme last year.

I have no idea why they don't use Mike Carlsen, easily the best analyst on British TV.

Apparently she reported that the jags went 1-4 in pre season

Yessssss Bengals! Tough win that. Had us down as a loss so very happy!

[Ironside]

christ, they were desperate

"Source confirms: the Vikings have traded for Sam Bradford. They gave up a 1st-round pick in 2017 and an additional pick in 2018."

Says more about the Eagles than the Vikings.

wentz is ready

lol he most certainly is not!

improvement on last years QBs

Drew Brees 423 passing yards, 4 TDs and a loss.

It shouldn't be funny or predictable.

What a call by Del Rio to go for 2, though. Wow.

Not sure if the Giants Offense is incredible or the Cowboys Defense is woeful.

Probably a bit of both.
