    I live in a state with legal sports betting. Good times!
    My only regret in these situations is that I limit myself to betting $20 per game.

    I watch the Lions games at a bar which has NFL Sunday Ticket
    By far, the loudest are the Steelers fans

    Wilson is playing as hard as anyone in this league.

    Saints receiver Michael Thomas scores a long TD pass, then goes under the padding on the goal post and pulls out a cell phone. Awesome.
    Even more awesome is that Buck and Aikman seemingly have no clue that that's a callback (so to speak) to Joe Horn.

    Buck did call it a Joe Horn impersonation there at the end of the game.

    How does he still have an NFL job? Unbelievable.

    Caught that. I'd also take a pretty safe guess some producer finally put it in his ear.

    Flacco failed to throw to uncovered receivers twice today. That said, I think the Ravens used Lamar Jackson at quarterback too much today. It can't help Flacco to be coming out or lining up at receiver and doing nothing so often.

    The Steelers got some breaks, but they also managed to hold the Ravens to only 16 points. Most of Baltimore's offense today came on three huge pass interference penalties. Pittsburgh's defense, which had been a complete disaster early in the season, has actually been decent of late. The run defense isn't awful and they are generating pressure up front. It's not a great unit, but it might be good enough to compete with most teams as long as the offense keeps clicking.

    James Conner passed another test with 107 yards rushing and 163 total yards after being a non-factor in the first meeting. The funny part is the play of the day may have come from a guy who hadn't played a meaningful snap in the NFL before this game. Backup quarterback Josh Dobbs came in on a second-and-20 deep in Pittsburgh territory, dropped into his own end zone and completed a 22-yard strike to JuJu Smith-Schuster for a first down. Pittsburgh ate up a huge chunk of time and added a field goal to extend the lead back to 10 points.

    I still don't have much faith in the Steelers against the Chiefs or Patriots, but they really are fun to watch.

    A team that's fun to watch means a team that scores a lot, ergo, a team with a puncher's chance. Note that "puncher's chance" has never meant "good chance" just "a chance."

    In a shock, the Pats get an egregious call in their favor at Foxboro.
