Nathaniel Hackett was in his first game as an NFL head coach. It’s a big moment. On Monday night, he made some decisions that just about everyone is questioning. Hackett made two questionable calls in the final minute that cost the Denver Broncos a chance to beat the Seattle Seahawks. Nobody seemed to agree with what the Broncos did. It started when Javonte Williams was tackled on a 9-yard gain, setting up fourth-and-5 at Seattle’s 46-yard line. The Broncos had three timeouts and 1:04 left on… Source link

The biggest dilemma for bettors heading into the NFL’s first week was figuring out how to handle a board filled with heavy road favorites. Teaser and moneyline parlay options were popular ways to avoid the road chalk, but those brave enough to back the big dogs reaped the rewards. Yesterday, six of the seven teams that covered as underdogs were catching 5.5 points or more, and three of those teams hit for moneyline bettors as well. So the gambling gods did us a solid by laying out the… Source link

Defensive end Randy Gregory intends to sign a contract with the Denver Broncos, not the Dallas Cowboys, according to Yahoo Sports’ Charles Robinson. It was reported earlier Tuesday that Gregory was signing a five-year, $70 million extension with the Cowboys, but that deal fell apart when the Cowboys included language in the contract that Gregory didn’t like. Gregory, 29, has had several issues over the past few years that have kept him off the field. In 2021 that issue was injury. He missed… Source link

Now that the NFL’s coaching carousel has come to an end, fans and bettors are turning their attention to the QB carousel which will soon spin into motion. In anticipation of that event, BetMGM posted prop lines for six different teams, asking which QB will take the first snap in Week 1 of the regular season. The malcontents Murray scrubbed his social media like someone looking for a new job, following the Cardinals’ 34-11 playoff loss to the Rams. These situations involving a quarterback under… Source link
