Any idea where exactly in Vegas this is planned to be?

I was going to say that in Vegas they might struggle for "home fans", but thinking about it really nobody lives in Foxboro, and that still sells out every time.

The transient nature of Vegas tourists would fill it, I'd say. It'd be part & parcel of a Vegas trip for most. And regular NFL fans can use it as an excuse to pop to Vegas for the weekend. You can fly a long way for $100 on SouthWest Airlines.

So Devontae Adams played last night then. Was sure he'd be missing with concussion.

Hoyer suffered a broken left arm which messed up an already miserable game even more (by the look of it)

A tough week for spots.. those pesky bookies dont like giving it away do they😦

However there are still some interesting spots if we delve deep enough and spot a lazy compiler.

NY Jets v Baltimore

Matt Forte of the Jets had a great start to the season running for 96 & 100 yards against the bengals & bills who rank 20th & 15th against the run so not exactly brick walls.. since then its been ugly for Forte and his looked disinterested.. His last 4 games his gone for 65,27,53 and 19 v 24th,3rd,13th and 17th ranked run defences. The only really run stopping defence was Seattle who stuffed him up for the 27. Powell the back up has also been taking touches off him.

The jets are a mess offensively.. The QB’s are a joke and as touched upon the run game isnt much better. Sunday they come up against the equally inept offence of Baltimore.. however they do have a pretty handy defence and rank n0.1 against..you guessed it ..the run allowing an average of 69 yards.

In all honesty they have come up against some poor run teams and there numbers may look a bit better than an honest line.. but in order they have allowed 15..31..30..17..133 and 58.. the 133 v cleveland is a little skewed as one massive busted play alone went for 85 yards.. take that anomaly away and Crowell went for 48 on the day.

So they rank number one v the run against average to poor run teams.. hey the jets are an average to poor run team and Forte looks like he wished he never left Chicago.

So the line for Forte rush yards is 60.5.. thats odd divide his yards to date by the number of games and you get.. 60… wow could you be any lazier Mr compiler..

So Matt Forte under 60.5 yards has to be this weeks nap selection

Good call there. I think Powell actually aged more snaps than him last week. But can't verify that. Sure I heard it on a podcast. Not sure on my nap of the week tbh. Just done my write up on the Twickenham game and it's largely Beckham-centric which I'm sure he'd appreciate. Will look tomorrow for other bets.

Early thoughts would be the Mike Gillislee anytime at 11/10 or Jacquizz Rodgers over whatever is on offer (looks like 63.5 which I may well suggest lumping on to a large extent) would be competing for nap/nb. However you can also get near Evens for AJ green any time vs a depleted Browns defence.

Apologies. Probably need to explain my reasons more. It looks very likely that shady McCoy will be out for the Bills. They are now a run heavy offence and even with Shady there Gillislee has been scoring. He went for o60 yards and a TD last week as second choice. Shove him in at no. 1 and with his over 5 ypg average. Against a poor run defence. Surely he's going to eat 

Rodgers is the only guy left in the run game for Tampa. Martin suffered a set back. Sims is on IR. Against a team who gave up over 300 yards last week. And 138 the week before to Zeke (the loss of Navarre bowman has killed them) Rodgers was o100 in their last match. They've had a bye and time to rest and analyse. 64 yards seems perfectly acceptable.

been waiting for the line on Rodgers yards as san fran look like they would give up a hundred + to my granny carrying me on her back... after last weeks performance and against the worst run D.. i can see Tampa just pounding it like last week v Carolina

[Cavey007]

Interesting to see the the handicap has flipped on Tampa now. They were -1 in the week at San Fran. Now +1 so obviously a lot of cash for San Fran. I can't see Tampa losing tbh. I know the niners play better at home. But they're crap. They have lost their best rusher for the week too. Kap isn't very good even the td they had last week was from an awful underthrown pass. Tampa haven't been impressive but have had the week off to concentrate on getting right for this game. What am I missing?

Kaepernick has a lot of baggage but he did throw the ball reasonably well last week. The Buccs haven't scored well in most of their games this season. Perhaps there's a view that they might nick a close one?

I do like Cameron Brate first TD, though, at 14/1. Wouldn't worry about who receives first, as neither team is a heavy scorer.

What was the reason given for playing this match at Twickenham?

Can't imagine it will have same atmosphere/vibe as the Wembley games.

3 games going there in the next three years. RFU outbid Wembley stadium Ltd for a package of games

Proximity to heathrow and training bases that side of London reduces travel time for the teams too, and reputedly the Giants (who i think fly in late) were quite happy it wasn't Wembley

Obviously Wembley is great, agree on the atmosphere. A full Twickenham is some sight when you are in it though, very good acoustics

Would imagine the pitch will take the punishment better than Wembley.

LOL

It just goes to prove how long it's been since I watched a rugby match, I thought Twickenham had 4 individual stands!

[Cavey007]

Rodgers yards practically in after 20 mins. I doubled it with AJ green anytime for a little boost.

Over 100 after 21 mins. Printing money
