Kentucky losing (on the football field)? Auburn losing? It’s like a christmas miracle!

Spur
King Hippo

the one with Jennifer Connelly is better ,, smh

Fronkenshteen

FRONKENPARLAY – 3 Team
Miami +221 @ Cincy
Arizona +142 @ SF
Minnesota +148 @ Phil

$100 gets you $1826. Good luck!

Spur

good luck

yeah right

No shit

Fronkenshteen

Leg 1: Mixon may be gimpy. AJ is groin-ey. Eifert ded. Burfict not in game shape, but will be out there. Drake running hard. Miami passing game IMPOSSIBLE to predict, but FAST AS FUCK. Gesicki has breakout game with Derby hurt. FG game.

Leg 2: 50/50. Arizona has a good secondary, and really only has to worry about Kittle, who Beathard will have tunnel vision with. Breida hyperextended his knee 2 weeks ago, and Alf is slow and fumbles. Rosen has possibly the best safety valve in football till Bell checks back in, Fitz, a decent TE in Seals-Jones, and pretty good young WRs nipping at 11’s heels. FG battle could be problematic, since Gould has been lights out. Johnson should be the difference here. I’m not worried about “home-field advantage” in that stadium either.

Leg 3: Cousins is going to blitz this defense through the air. Everyone knows it. And there isn’t a single fucking thing anyone can do about it. Thielen, Diggs, and Rudolph are going to run free all afternoon; dodging batteries and pissbottles, sure, but chunking the Philly secondary all fucking day. The ensuing gaps will give chocolate Cookie Monster giant exploitable holes and goal line smashies akimbo. I think this one goes OT.

yeah right

I like the cut of your jib!

herodotus450

Great game from traditional SEC powers Kentucky and Tamu

“You don’t have to cover up on my account.”

King Hippo

please kick so I get the ATS end.

Spur

Dead hokie

King Hippo

#95??!! is SHORT, SHORT!!!! from 43 yards. Just go fuck yourselves.

theeWeeBabySeamus

You’ll break even. aTm gonna go conservative and kick.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Sorry, I stand corrected.

A gassed defense and no offense is not a good recipe in OT.

Sorry man.

King Hippo

I want Kenfucky’s QB’s head on a pike. A crisp $20 bill to the Commentist who provides same to Hippo.

Spur

i missed it. what did he do?

King Hippo

act like there’s no such thing as a pass rush, on 3rd and 2. As he has all night long. Fucking moe-ron.

herodotus450

Aww, $20? I wanted a peanut.

King Hippo

too bad, I ain’t keeping peanuts in the house, they’s messy

LemonJello

Gonna be a rough night in the trailer parks of Blacksburg after this game.

Well, rougher than usual.

Spur

NOICE run for ND.

Spur

King Hippo

I wish I could just get my moneys back for ML and cash my +5.5 bet. Because it’s really a DRAW damn it.

theeWeeBabySeamus

How in the holy fuck were they +5.5 to begin with?

Fronkenshteen

Interesting to note the Jets/Donks line moved 3 points in Denver’s favor. A western team on the road on a short week playing at 1:00. Curious.

King Hippo

Donks match up well with Jest. But no idea how we’uns will react emotionally to the Chefs Monday Nighter. I am staying far, far away.

Fronkenshteen

Also a huge reason I’m fading Mahomey the Clown. Short week + Jacksonville D = pain.

King Hippo

This is where one wishes one had the extra half-point.

Spur
Fronkenshteen

Yanx have something cooking!

King Hippo

overall sideboob!!

theeWeeBabySeamus

I am very in favor of her fashion sense.

King Hippo

UK’s QB is a class-A moe-ron.

King Hippo

kicker is #95, never mind, we is going to OT

theeWeeBabySeamus

I really hope you didn’t bet Kentucky. In Football.

King Hippo

YUP. Of course, if they lose by less than 5.5, I will break even, bet ATS and ML.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Honestly I didn’t even look at that game.
But we all know how UK Football ends.

I’ll pray foar no worse than a aTm FG for you, however.

They’re not gonna win, however.

King Hippo

And those special teams….Jeebus wept.

King Hippo

Fucking Kenfucky almost let ’em make 3rd and 19 running a goddamned trap play.

King Hippo

alright, Kenfucky, you have given Hippo hope. Let Jimbo shit himself, and go back to Lexington 6-0.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

@balls – I am finally drinking that Michelada you kindly brought over during World Cup. Gracias!

ballsofsteelandfury

Hope you’re enjoying it!

Gratliff

Hm. My cousin got recruited to play for Iowa State last week and now they knocked off Oklahoma State. It’s that sort of immediate impact that’ll help him in the draft.

LemonJello

He should declare for the draft now.

blaxabbath

Gruden is already looking to trade that talent away!

Spur

WILDCATSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

“Progressive Pylon Cam”

Really? Does every fucking thing really need to be sold to advertising?

LemonJello

The Prudential Answer to Your Rhetorical Questions is “Yes.”

theeWeeBabySeamus

OK, that was clever. But I think I need to go back to keeping mah TV muted at all times during sportsballingz, whilst (hehehe) listening to music in the headphones.

Flo can only do so much.

King Hippo

SHILL!!!1111

Viva La Tabula Raza

I thought it was progressive in terms of not being conservative or retrograde. Now I know better and am pissed off.

King Hippo

I fucking hate everything in the world.

/especially the Kenfucky “offense”

Spur

Game on.

LemonJello

Do the gold helmets somehow negate the ref’s ability to throw a flag?

Welp, except for that targeting ejection.

“Pizza delive…oh shit, this is another movie, isn’t it?”

theeWeeBabySeamus

I have a feeling she’d like me.
Well, at least for a little while. Then she’d kill me.

Spur
theeWeeBabySeamus

Great song, but I could have done without hearing it currently.

Spur

Hokie QB is trash

Fronkenshteen

There are four combined (English speaking) radio announcers for the yanx/sawx game. 3 have Boyleston street accents. One is Suzyn Waldman. I’m a yankee fan. I’m on WEEI. So fucking sad.

WCS

WEAH AHH EVERYWEAH NO ONE DENIES THIS

theeWeeBabySeamus

ND’s defense already looks gassed.
This could get ugly in the 2nd half.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Orrrrrr….that could happen.

JEEBUS ACC COASTAL DIVISION YOU SUCK SO HARD!!!!!!!!!

Spur

Irish QB got fucking lit up.

Wakezilla

He got lit up? Kind of obvious because he’s Irish

I’m just happy you didn’t say “hard seeded buns”.

YES I’M GOING BACK TO TIMEOUT NOW!!!!!!

yeah right

But how’s the Ipad?

LemonJello

Hokie D does a good, then Hokie O shits it away

Fronkenshteen

Best bet tomorrow HAS to be Carolina -6.5 vs NYG, right? That sounds like easy fucking money.

WCS

Watch Eli throw for 430 yards and four touchdowns.

LemonJello

Does that get him a party at Chuck E. Cheese afterward?

Wakezilla

Panthers’ wideouts make me nervous for that bet. I’d still take it, but I wouldn’t say it’s easy money

King Hippo

I bet on Los Gigantes when it was 7.5, glad the line is moving that direction. Black Panthers don’t blow folk out. I expect FG-kakke

Spur

Nice hold by ND.

Spur

Jesus wept

Horatio Cornblower

Shouldn’t have taken the under in the ‘Bama game, Jesus.

LemonJello

Odds on ND getting into the playoff this year and then getting ass-blasted by ‘Bama?

theeWeeBabySeamus

NC State has a better chance of sneaking into the playoff than ND does.

No, I’m not joking.

theeWeeBabySeamus

For the record, however, I’m not saying either will happen.

Fronkenshteen

“5 to 1, baby. 1 in 5.”

low on vodka, it’s a whiskey night.

theeWeeBabySeamus

@Hippo… You weren’t kidding about that Snowfall finale. That was intense. Franklin got he Adidas back tho, no doubt.

(and I wouldn’t want to be Ray Ray next season)
