Did someone make the Saints an offer they couldn't refuse?

Under is the play in this one

I agree with this as well. Saints score and allow a lot of
points at home, but not necessarily on the road. I think Sean Payton will try a similar game plan as they used last week vs Seattle. Control the clock and run at least 50% of the time. The only reason I don't love the play is because they have played 2 unders in a row and are due for a high scoring game.

It looks like the Niners are going with DuJuan Harris not Shaun Draughn in the absence of Carlos Hyde is this a stroke of genius or throwing in the towel for the season?

I hope Kapernick breaks his vagina.

I don't think the Browns will go 0-16 either. But there's no relevance to saying that and handicapping a game. Unless of course the strategy is just bet on them until they win. That's a good way to go broke also.

I see your point, but....I don't think the poster's analysis is as worthless as you say. The point is simple, but important: there is money to be made on bad teams. I was reading COVERS last week (why I don't know) and there was a big debate over CHI/Min. The original poster was arguing that CHI was the obvious play, citing reverse line movement and the like (he was right, but he also probably lost betting on TB this week). Anyway, one responder said (paraphrase): "I once got advice from a real old-school sharp better and he gave me advice that I always follow: never bet on bad teams as they always find a way to lose."

But that is bad advice. If gambling were as simple as "bet on the better team," or "never bet on bad teams," everyone would be rich. There is money to be made on bad teams and, in fact, due to the taxation of public teams, betting on bad teams is usually a better strategy than betting on good teams.

Don't get me wrong: the only metric can't be to rely on the law of averages: "they will win (or lose) eventually." But the underlying theme is that one shouldn't discount a shitty team getting only a few points. Historically, shitty teams getting only a few points (at home) is a pretty good bet.

EDIT: And even if SF loses by 30 today the point still stands. I am not making the case for SF here (though I do like them this week) but just pointing out that looking for value in bad teams is not a bad strategy (so long as you pick your spots well, as is life in gambling).

Kaperdick might have a rough day today. 49ers going all Patriotic

WHAT'S HAPPENING AT THIS WEEK'S GAME

- As part of the NFL's Salute to Service campaign in honor of Military Appreciation month, the 49ers will include special activations to honor the military on Sunday. In addition to a giant field sized United States flag presentation during the National Anthem, two MV-22 Osprey Jets from Marine Corps Air Station Miramar, Calif., will fly over the stadium. Pregame, fans can view three USMC military vehicles at the Faithful Mile.

- United States Marin Captain Skye Martin, who is currently stationed at Marine Corps Recruit Depot in San Diego, Calif., will perform the National Anthem.

- The 49ers Museum presented by Sony will debut it's newest exhibit, Gridiron Heroes: The Stories of 49ers Military Veterans, which explores the military experiences of 49ers players, coaches, and executives to honor their service and sacrifice. In honor of Veteran's Day, the 49ers Museum will be free to retired and active military from November 11th until November 13th.

- In keeping with the great tradition of the legendary Candlestick Park foghorn, a special guest is chosen each week to get the crowd started by energizing the foghorn prior to kickoff. This week's Foghorn Energizer will be 49ers Die Hard Fan and U.S. Army Purple Heart recipient Sergeant First Class Takumi Abe.

- Halftime will feature a celebration to honor the Marine Corps Reserves 100 years of service. 150 Marines will march on the field while the Marine Corps Marching Band performs. The celebration will conclude with Marines Captain Sky Martin's performance of God Bless America.

- The Faithful Mile will host Sergeant Hart and the Current for a musical performance.

- The first 100 fans leading the Faithful March into Levi's Stadium from the parking lots will receive a commemorative 49ers branded Military rally towel.

- Hometown Heroes, presented by U.S. Bank, will recognize local service members from all five branches of the Military. Army First Sergeant James Yco, Marines Sergeant Major Larry Liechty, Navy Master Chief James P. Whitney, Coast Guard Master Chief Dave Stephens and Air Force Command Chief Rosemarie Stokes will be featured on the video board throughout the game in recognition of their military service.

Lol wow.



Something tells me Kaeperknick wasn't considering people like Pat Tilman. A white guy who gave up everything to fight in a war for this country and that flag. Kaeperknick didn't know what the hell he was doing when he started this shit. Dude had no plan

A whole lot of unecessary words, since that poster said nothing of the sort. It's quite a stretch for anyone to read all that in his original comment. I took his comment literally. If he meant it to be more than that, then he should work on his articulation skills.
