After the game tonight I was wrong.

I was more pissed that the guy pushed Mahomes while OB. Just cannot do that regardless cause it will be called more often than not.

Bengals had such poor situational awareness. That play, Macaulay Culkin spiking the ball while in pocket and taking a grounding. Macaulay again going deep late in game on 3rd and 2.

Yes, they committed too many dumb penalties.

I learned something about the forward progress rule last night though. I didn’t think you could extend the ball and then intentionally pull the ball back to your body and get forward progress at the extension point. He was being driven back by the defenders so I guess that’s why it counted. I don’t really like the rule applying that way. That was a pretty critical challenge.

So I have a few bets on the Eagles to win the Super Bowl from earlier this season.

I’m doubling down with a few plays this weekend.

Travis Kelce 1st TD
$50 at +700 for $400 payout

Kelce 1st TD AND Eagles win
$25 at +1300 for $350 payout

Eagles defensive coordinator tends to feel out the offense on the first drive. Usually this means not allowing big plays but giving the offense some room to operate. The eagles also generally defer if they win the coin toss. This is mostly just a gut play but I’m sure Kelce will be involved early.

I’ll probably play a few more props but not sure yet. I want to play with the alternate line (I think eagles win by 10+) but I’m not loving the odds I get there on that bet alone since I’ve got plenty on the Eagles outright. I may parlay the alternative line with a few bets. Not sure yet.

And another horrible call that decides the game. Maybe Legal gambling on NFL not the best thing.

I guess not a horrible call. DB admitted he held and it was correct call.

Ball was not catchable and Receiver wasn't deterred at all. Even if it was the correct call it was Ticky-Tac and not made in that situation. Interference against Davanta Smith on his overruled catch was far more egregious. Robbed us all of a just finish to perhaps the greatest Super Bowl Ever. I had 0 Dollars on either team to win or cover nor did I have total bets.

Yeah I had $0 bet on the game and I'll say it's getting tiresome watching those kind of calls getting called at that point in the game.

Was it a hold? Sure. Does it happen nearly every play? Yes. So if they aren't calling it most of the time, they should not be calling it there. Or call it everytime.

The other thing is...KC seems to be the beneficiary of a lot of these calls. It was a great game up to that point.
