Big game for the Niner’s at Philly this week.
A win and it might be a good year.

Happy with the result this morning.
Packers next week, and the bogey team (Seahawks) the following.

Chiefs or Ravens? Think this will be alot closer than the matchup predictor is saying myself

I don’t think so. Ravens are missing their top 2 corner backs, running backs and their best line backer.
Not to mention their OLine worries and looks like Hollywood is out for this game too.
They could cause a massive boil over but Chiefs should win easy.

Convinced me to put a covering bet on the +13 mate.

Sad that there's more Cowboy fans at a Chargers home game than Chargers fans. I get it, America's Team and all that, but jesus.

Apparently the Raiders last Monday had 20,000 empty seats too but the broadcast never panned out to hide the fact.

Do you think this is Team related or COvid related George?

I know the Raiders one was COVID related. They had vaccine booths set up at the gates and if people got the shot they got in (which I thought was odd - doesn't it take more than 5 seconds for your body to do it's thing?) but a lot of them turned back and went home. You had to show your certificate of vax. There were also people who had the shot that were taken to hospital and ambulances were on standby. It was all really very odd.

This game today I think is just a massive amount of Dallas fans. Stadium looks full or at least full enough to not have 20,000 empty seats. Writing this post I remembered when the Rams were moving from St.Louis into this stadium and for a year or two they played at the LA Memorial Coliseum and we played them there in the year we won the Super Bowl. It sounded like our own home game. I think a lot of people have been put off by the recent relocations & also there's probably a lot of Dallas & Philadelphia support in LA - two big fan bases.

Chiefs by 50

edit: sorry thought you were looking for a suggestion haha. But a solid bet would obviously be Mahomes throwing for plenty of yards against that secondary.

That’s nothing new with the LA teams. The chargers and rams came from small markets and haven’t built a hardcore fan base yet. The Raiders had a super strong following in Oakland but LA is a tourist town and they’ll have few die hard fans too. Ticket prices are bloody cheap in Vegas which will appeal to away fans as it’s cheap to fly internally in the states.
There were more Bills than Dolphin fans in Miami today too.

Yeah it made me remember back to games the Eagles have played in LA and there's always lots of support for us there.

Bastard Cowboys

The eagles have a great following. I went to a Bills Eagles game a couple of years ago and even though the Bills have an insane die hard supporter base there were heaps of Eagles fans there.

Yeah from what I've read/heard we are pretty full on. I've heard opposition players say they hated playing in Philadelphia because of how much they hated the crowd. Would love to get to a game one day. Buffalo have a nicer fanbase I think. They won't spit on you or cheer a broken leg. I felt bad for Pancho Billa not being able to see them win a Super Bowl.

 

[George]

The good (thank you Strahan for reporting on it LOL)






And the bad;






Lol

Hmmm I don’t know about that, at the 2 bills game I went to I saw a gun pulled in 1 and then we involuntarily got involved in a huge brawl in the other haha.
Bills supporters are great, but as with every team there’s a few bad eggs.

Henry is a goddamm beast

America is probably the answer to that

 

[Pardon me]

Whenever I feel bad about my team I thank a higher power I'm not a Jags fan....
