  3. I’m in Portugal / Spain for the next few months, brutal that this game is on at 1:30am here 😭

  8. I’m starting to think maybe the panthers are just a bad team more than us being a decent one. Dolphins taking their lunch as well. Today is more of a day to prove what we are, let’s get that upset 

  11. Maye 3 Pass TDs, 1 Rush TD.

    Diggs 110yards, 2 TD

    Also a kick/punt return for a TD.

    Book it

  15. Got my moron coworker to agree to patriots +14.5 lol. Dude’s an idiot. I’ll be shattered if we don’t cover that 😂

    Edit: I’m obviously taking patriots +14.5 in this scenario.

  16. Can’t believe we lost to the Raiders. They are so fucking bad 40-3 against Daniel Jones LMAO

  19. I don’t think we’ll beat Buffalo today but I do think we’ll compete with them and that’s exponentially better than the last two or three iterations of New England

  20. The Jets being 2.5-point favorites over Dallas this morning is the sort of thing that makes me want to download a sports-betting app
