Normalizing gambling on sports, during the game, as advertisers and networks "Bally, Fan Duel" the push for fans to gamble has to concern you. They are not in business to make you money. It's not a charity. It's obvious NFL games are rigged. Games are still entertaining because you don't generally know which team it's rigged for…but you do have to wonder if they are setting up Lions fans for another scripted, rigged game like last season vs. San Francisco. First half, scripted for Detroit…for the live in game betting…second half, flipped the script.
Exactly the opposite of nervous! Vegas being absolutely strong-armed into the position it sits vis-a-vis the Lions only confirms what most of us paying attention already believed – they are 100% legit, should be favored by double digits even against a middle-of-the-road division opponent and have become the opposite of the team we saw the last 60 years. The evidence is insurmountable, irrefutable and absolutely fucking beautiful. To those of you who believe in fairy tales and magic instead of reality, sorry that your brain is telling you to be fearful that refs are working for Vegas (might as well say they're working for aliens) rather than celebrate that your team has arrived and is about to be damn good for years to come. Vegas getting destroyed by undervaluing the meteoric and tangible rise to the top of the NFL is just another chapter of one of the greatest stories in NFL history – that has many chapters to come.
Dont forget Gardner White also placed a bet on their furniture if the Lions win the Super Bowl. Gardner White right now scrambling to pay off a ref or they probably wont honor their deal.
If the Lions keep their point differential stat at or above where it's at (+16.09 per game), they'll be the second team this millennium after the Patriots (+19 per-game) in 2007 to average wins by 16 points or more. Only the 2019 Ravens at 15.68 are in the top-25 all-time point differentials since 2000, and only the 1999 Rams and 1998 Vikings are on that list from the modern era – with the 21 others all occurring before 1970.
If the Lions beat the 49ers in Week 17, they will have completed sweeps of both AFC and NFC scheduled division opponents for two consecutive years – can be16-0 vs the AFC West/NFC South in 2023 and AFC South/NFC West in 2024. WILD stuff.
That’s what I don’t like about the NFL being in bed with Las Vegas and then suspend in their players because now that the story is out any flag or any play that looks like it’s controversial will make you think that it’s rigged me included
No. The Philadelphia Eagles should make Detroit nervous. Better get that #1 seed. We'd love to get you outta that cozy dome. And. In Philly for the inevitable game.
Now, I KNOW the Lions won't win the Super Bowl. It's beyond the point of the refs making calls to favor certain teams. We've know that for years. The players are tanking certain games. Yes, really. Look at all the missed tackles-diving at a guy's feet, playing paddycakes instead of wrapping him up and taking him down. They are downright comical. The defenders who jog after a player running for a touchdown. The interceptions thrown right to the defensive back.
The Lions meltdown in last year's NFC championship game is a perfect example. How did one of the four best teams in the world blow a 17 point halftime lead? They didn't "blow" it. They were ordered to throw it. With a 17 point lead in the third quarter, the overwhelming majority of in-game betting obviously goes on the Lions. So the league orders the Lions to tank it in the second half. They do. The casinos make a killing. They then write the league a check as payment for fixing the game. Make no mistake: the league and the casinos are in bed together.
bet Lions winning it all in February +1300. Detroit is the darling because of Campbell. Because of Hard Knocks. Because of Goff up from the ashes story. LA, and alot of other people, did him dirty and everyone knows it.
So if the Lions win the Super Bowl, does that mean all the whining about rigging is a lie? Or wait. Does it mean when they lose it’s not their fault, it’s Vegas?
When ur telling me a story about Vegas LOSING money because of my team, that makes me uncomfortable, for multiple reasons. They ultimately DON'T wanna pay out that dough.
Vegas HAD to make the Lions the Super Bowl favorite. The most money by FAR has been bet on the Lions to win the Super Bowl. Vegas is screwed if the Lions win it.
The Lions have been screwed by the refs for so many years how could this be anything but scary. The only silver lining is that the Lions may be better than the opponent and the refs combined.
NFL is rigged, so it does scare me for Vegas screwing with the Lions, but the Lions are playing lights out, and no ref will be able to persuade the outcome
We're losing to the Bears Thursday. Heard it here first.

Thursday really won’t be easy but I feel good abt it
They really did a whole segment to have a bunch of wack job conspiracy theorists call in and say how scared they are 😭😭
When the gambling houses are THIS nervous, it means the Lions are not going to get an impartial officiating crew come playoff time.
Hate to see detroit be burning in flames if they fuck it up like usual
The house never loses. Always follow the money. NFL rigged? Makes you wonder
Its not sports anymore

We 10-1 and people are getting scared

Our compounding injuries/growing IR list is the only thing making me nervous…
I hope the Lions bankrupt them all.

It's kind of scary, feels like the fix is in 😳

TF is Rico talking about? Smh. He’s such an idiot
It’s a reverse psychology trick to get people to buy into other teams. Lions will win the Super Bowl.
So if the Lions win the Super Bowl, does that mean all the whining about rigging is a lie? Or wait. Does it mean when they lose it’s not their fault, it’s Vegas?
Do you see why these arguments are so silly?

If Holmes had gotten another stud at DE last year, we would have been in the Super Bowl last year. I have been begging him to get one for two years.
Injuries make me nervous about the Lions.
Vegas HAD to make the Lions the Super Bowl favorite. The most money by FAR has been bet on the Lions to win the Super Bowl. Vegas is screwed if the Lions win it.
Not worried about it. These books make millions a day. The money they’d lose if Detroit wins is chump change in the grand scheme of things.
There's only one sure thing: there's no such thing as a sure thing. A football is a strangely shaped sphere and it takes unpredictable bounces.
The Lions have been screwed by the refs for so many years how could this be anything but scary. The only silver lining is that the Lions may be better than the opponent and the refs combined.
Dave Portnoy on one of his podcasts said he was debating on betting 2 million on the lions to win the super bowl
7:03 well said Rico
This actually does make me feel like we’ll get hosed by calls at some point
The national sentiment makes me more confident, how could it not. I worry about vegas interfering with the game though
NFL is rigged, so it does scare me for Vegas screwing with the Lions, but the Lions are playing lights out, and no ref will be able to persuade the outcome
LIONS SUCCESS
