My First Video in 11 Months (NFL Week 2 Thoughts)

 

Nolan-Dalla

 

Last night in my home office, I shot a one-hour video with my thoughts on all the NFL games for Week 2.

 

Creating a video is an exercise in pulling together lots of information I gather during week about upcoming games and the opportunity to spew off about whatever my gut reaction tells me about each game.

There’s been some valid criticism that these videos are not of professional quality.  There are no notes, edits, or any production values whatsoever (I tried that last year — it was way too much work).  Sorry, but I simply do not have time to make a one-hour show every week on my own and spend my free hours scripting and editing.  Furthermore, forget about me giving out quick 30-second picks for sports gamblers who are lazy.  If you follow those kinds of plays, you might as well forget about trying to win money.  Proper handicapping a game takes time and requires going into detail.  If you want quick and easy , then watch the Sunday morning shows which are filled with worthless fluff and contain virtually no information related to pointspreads and totals.

For those who don’t care for the picks but just want entertainment and short rant, you can probably watch the video from the 33-minute mark forward, which is where things spin slightly out of control.

  1. Because you asked, this is quick-and-dirty, I doubt my database is 100% error-free, and it depends on whose closing number you use, but, for the NFL since the 2000-2001 season:

    Total (or higher) over-under
    50

      Because you like the insults and the controversy:

      Donald Trump will never call you a low energy commentator.
      Bernie Sanders called. He wants his hair style back.

      You’re waiting too long before you bet. I got the JAC +6.5 and PIT -5.5 earlier this week. Betting PIT in a teaser!? You could have had them on the ML for a lot less earlier in the week. These were easily available. What’s more important, making good bets or [insert your own adjective] videos?

      Yes, I’m still with you, no I’m not going to write your plays down, and the books won’t let me fade your teasers!

      This may scare you, but I agree with you more than I disagree, although you’re still making too many bets.

      Your “tape” ran out just as you were listing your plays, which means, between the two of us, only one of us actually watched your video. Well, listened to it, I’m watching the TiCats/Eskimos game with the sound off.
