In context

BillI was between 11 and 12.

BillI like the juice better for under on Fandle. is plus 125 for the under 11 and a half.

BillAnd I like another team more in this division is really what it came down to. Really? But this seems to me, we've seen this happen in football before when there's this much smoke being blown up the asses of a team.

BillAnd one bad thing happens or somebody gets injured or they lose some game they shouldn't lose. And that's all anyone talks about. It becomes the biggest story. And I just feel like there's such a big spotlight on this team. I still have them in the playoffs. I still think they're going to be one of the seven best teams.

SalWeren't they the scariest team last year? Weren't they the team you didn't want to play forever? Even when Seattle got lucky in the regular season game, and that could have gone either way. You look at Byron Young.

SalHe's the other edge. He had 12 and a half sacks. He had 29 quarterback hits, and now he's going to have free run at these quarterbacks with Myles Garrett probably would be double -teamed. And I think the secondary will be better because Myles Garrett is double -teamed.
