    Vegas makes money on vigorish (a tax on the amounts bet), not on which team wins.

    FWIW

    Perhaps, but you said "vegas."

    Vegas also periodically moves the odds before the game to assure there's a roughly equal amount bet on each side. It's a rare thing when a sportsbook loses money, but it does happen.

    I liked the Kung Foo Panda one spoofing the old ads. (Look at him...now look at me...I'm on a Tiger!) But I'm a simple man. :)

    You know there's an exec on Madison Avenue vaping in a corner, saying, "the fools.... I'd only they knew the extent of my diabolical plans!"

    My favorite was the Honda truck commercial with the singing sheep. Some of those sheep were hot! SlyPokerDog as the narrator at the end was also a nice touch.

    Seriously? How exactly did the refs job the Panthers in this game? And what calls did they make or not make that would've prevented the Denver defense from suffocating the Panthers all game long?

    I understand everyone has a different perspective but it's freakin' amazing how some people just see what they want to see.

    Woah now... There is a guy named JJ Watt that has that throne. Miller is definitely a top 5 guy though for sure.

    That's fine. Me though? I'm taking the best defensive player on the #1 Defense.

    That Broncos d is loaded. Von miller is a great player. But I'd take jj watt and khalil mack over him.

    Miller doesn't get doubled like those guys for sure. I'm a homer but Michael Bennett is such a chaos creator that he should be up on that list, it's just that his stats don't show what he does and he has a knack for infraction penalties lol

    Ware was the best thing to happen for Miller. Makes it so VM doesn't get doubled as much and gets to be the almost unstoppable one on one machine he is.
    I think the only D player id take ahead of Miller is Watt, other then that I wouldnt take anyone else.

    Last time I checked, which I have not since the last couple games of the season, watt and mack were head and shoulders above others on Pff for defensive players

    Id rather have Miller. Mack is great but to do a quick comparison, Mack reminds me of Suh on the Lions while Miller reminds me of Ware on the Cowboys 06-09.
    Now ill be the first to admit to watching a ton more broncos then Raiders the last few years so I havent seen near as much of Mack, especially with Mack having the monster season he had this year, as I have of Miller.
