Back in college a few of my buddies and I had a tradition of watching every Thursday night NFL game and live betting on them. I lost a (relative to a dirt poor college student) shit ton of money because of two things: I'm terrible at predicting sports outcomes, and.... I'm terrible at predicting sports outcomes. Honestly, I didn't even care. There was nothing better than guys being dudes, drinking beer, and yelling at TVs. That was college.
Now I work 5-7 days per week, travel 90% of the time, and sleep in shitty hotels. Spare time is a thing of the past where I actually have to schedule myself to watch football (pretty sad). So now it's the middle of the week, I'm ready to watch football, and it turns out that the prestigious Thursday night game is being played by the fucking Panthers and Texans. No offense to either team but, What The Actual Fuck NFL. Three years ago this would have been an interesting game but literally neither of these teams have a shot at doing jack shit this year. The Texans are literally a train wreck that literally won't stop catching on fire. Honestly, I don't even want to waste my time talking about that team, so, I wont. The Panthers are basically Christian Mccaffrey and some other guys that may or may not be frauds. I know I have terrible takes but there's 0% chance the game becomes anything other than CMC putting up crazy fantasy points while his team coasts behind him.
What I'm pretty much getting at here is that nothing special can come out of this game and anyone who thinks so is lying to themselves. Don't get me wrong I'm still a die hard fan, but this game doesn't make me feel things like it used to. No magic or feelings whatsoever. Whatever: (Panthers 24 Texans 5). Please lets see Sam Darnold get sacked for a safety, the Jets need something to be keep their spirits up.
Panthers make the playoffs as a wildcard and upset Tim Brody in the Wildcard
