Iowa favored over the Illini? If so, that's OK, for fuel for the Illini fire, with the injury to Livers, this may be the effective championship game. No slight to U of M but, Livers is their best player and, unlike the Illini without Ayo, Wolverines have a quick turn around without their best player. Guessing he meant the spread yesterday was Iowa -4.5 and I’m assuming SSR had money on it.

Sorry for Weston but glad Ronaldo is out.

I know the reasons why Liverpool is having a much worse season (over performance last year, injuries, three all out years taking its toll, natural let down after winning UCL and then EPL) but it’s still wild to see. If they win out, they’d still finish with 23 fewer points than last year.

More dumb handball calls. Spurs defender kicks the ball and hits a Fulham players arm that’s literally right by his side. Fulham scores right after but the goal is ruled out. He didn’t move his arm towards the ball at all. Arm is in a natural position. And if his arm was straight up in the air, the ball hits his hip and nothing about the play changes. [tweet] [/tweet] Current handball rule is so dumb.

boy, they're fun to watch unlike every other big 6 team. jarring watching a side actually try to score goals, something i was led to believe was outlawed They’re not even scoring at that great of a rate either. Only on pace for 79 goals. Last three years was 102, 95, 106.

Judging by the score, it was another stitchface special today in the ManU-Chelsea game.

Just have to throw some quarters at him.

Highlights from 2016 still exist?

Think it’s part offenses being smarter and taking more efficient shots and defense definitely seems down this year. Don’t know if guys just aren’t trying as hard, they’re being coached not to (I’ve heard some podcasts how teams are coaching their defense to give up more 3s), or the short turn around. I listened to a pod last week and the average FG% of losing teams this year is like 44-48% which is the highest ever by far. The Pelicans lost a game shooting like 56% this year already. There's probably a bit of small sample size in there also. Obviously this is pretty extreme and we're over 1/3 of the way through a normal season so it's not all or even mostly sample size, but there probably will be some regression to the mean. It's a pretty ridiculous stat though.

I’m 100% rooting for PSG solely because of Poch. Never really liked Neymar so I always enjoyed them bombing out in spectacular fashion but I want Poch to win a major trophy (and I don’t count any of the French trophies because PSG wins those every year).
-
I like Durant but my dislike of Kyrie and Harden easily outweigh that.

https://www.fangraphs.com/standings/playoff-odds Playoff odds and win total projections are out and they do not like the Central at all. There are 9 other teams with a higher chance to win the WS than our entire division combined.

Hasn't this pretty much been the case for the better part of a decade now? It’s early so I’m sure at least a couple more will get over .500. Usually it’s the 8 seed that’s sub .500 and occasionally the 7 seed. But yes, the West has been consistently better than the East for a couple decades. The 8 seeds had the same record in 16-17 and the East was actually better in 15-16, though that could be the West had a 73 and 67 win team that year while the East had a 10 win team. Prior to that the last time the 8 seed in the East had the better record was 98-99. The East has also had 14 sub .500 playoff teams in the past 20 years while the West has had 1, Portland last year.

Brady was better than Eli but it reminded me of Eli winning Super Bowl MVP when the Giants beat the 16-0 Pats. But they can’t give MVP to a position group.
-
Only 4 teams in the East are currently over .500 and only 5 are .500 or better. By contrast, only 4 teams in the West are under .500 and 9 are over .500.

That pass to Gronk was catchable by first half standards.
-
The first one I didn’t mind. The second one was inexplicable. 3rd and 10? Sure. Call it there. But not 3rd and 2.
-
Don’t these balls have to be catchable for PI to be called? The second one definitely wasn’t.
-
KC shouldn’t have called the second timeout.
-
Chiefs can’t do anything right. The only position group that’s been good is the FG kicker.
-
Only surprising thing about that game was it was only 1-0. Spurs play like a team that’s already gotten a red card and are just trying to limit the damage.
-
Awfully nice of you to call Spurs a real team. Aren't they on same level as Chelsea with the main difference that Chelsea tries to attack? Depends on what stats you put stock in. Points and GD shows they’re about the same. Expected goals has Chelsea as a topl4 side and Spurs in the 8-10 range.
