    Gl with thread - Could you be the new Brandon Lang?

    Never been into American football but watched a film last night on BBC1 called "Two for the Money" starring Al Pacino who owns a company advising on Sports betting in American football. Makes you realise what a huge industry it is and how intersting it is

    If your into gambling and American football i,d strongly reccomend watching it - gr8 film

    Great film !    Brandon Lang   AKA John Anthony .

    I was not at all an NFL fan when i first came across this film, but thoroughly enjoyed it none the less.
    Watched most of it last night untill the game started.    Wish i could pick 8 in 10 winners !

    Although my FIRST picks were aboslutely shocking,   going to try and keep this thread open through the season and see how it goes. 

    As for tonight.   GO Denver. !

    Ty,  came 7th in the BH. Can not complain.  Will final table one day.

    Channel 4 show a live game every sunday night (Monday morning) around 1am. 
    BBC also show a game or 2 on monday night (Tuesday morning) on the red button. Again around 1am.

    Sky also show several games, i believe they show one on a thursday night, and possibly 2 on a sunday.

    GL with whoever you went for.   James and Tikay seemed to fancy panthers, but i would personally have went for giants.  So i've left it alone.
    i don't bother with twitter.....YET.

    yeah thursday nights Sky are now showing a game, just about to start. As last season Sundays are brilliant, 2 games on Sky from 6ish thru til just after 12, and then C4's coverage kicks in and they show another live gamethat goes thru til 5ish.  Another new addition for this season is BBC's coverage on monday nights, but their coverage is so tilting, jumping in and out of ESPN's coverage, missing plays, and playing the most annoying music during breaks!

    I have literally no idea what Sanchez was doing there, that play may ruin all our bets

    Yup, i wasn't sure as i'd never seen a game go to overtime that i had previously bet on.  I figured it would count tho, since they don't seem to offer odds on a draw/tie.   Teams can actually still tie after overtime, but its happened like twice in 15 years or something !

    As for the tipping,  next week, im just going to back the complete opposite teams to the ones i fancy.

    In my defense, i've heard 3 analysts say it's been one of the hardest weeks to tip ever, with shocks everywhere !

    o well.   Had a little bet on the patriots now so i can enjoy the gameee.
