Turkeys, Turnovers and Gridiron Shockers
It’s Thanksgiving week, which means the middle of the NFL campaign while winding down the college football regular season.

Replacement Refs
Found this on an internet message board. Enjoy!
"Am I the only one who likes the replacement refs? The last 2 games I've watched (Baltimore/New England, Seattle/Green Bay) have been the most bumblingly hilarious entertaining comedy shows I've seen in many a season. It adds a whole new variable that you have to account for, which is that the people in charge of regulating the game have no idea what the rules are, how to enforce them, or control what's going on the field in any way. Maybe this harms the "integrity of the game" (or other such meaningless cliche ESPN commentator nonsense that no one should really care about), but it's entertaining as hell! The players damn near brawl after every play which just enhances it. From a purely comedic perspective, this is the best thing that's happened to the league in a while. I'm not saying they should keep them forever (obviously!), but this is the most interesting NFL football I've watched in a while."

NFL Bye Week Strategy
The NFL bye week is a factor many recreational gamblers don’t pay enough attention to. If you consider yourself a novice sports bettor, and you spot the type of betting line that has you quickly heading to Sporting News and your favorite sports stat site to see if a player is injured, don’t forget to also notice if that team’s opponent is coming off a bye. For those advanced sports bettors struggling with the bye week, I’ll cover some higher level research and insights about the bye in this article. Before getting to that, I’ll address some general points for anyone not sure what to make of the bye week, or on which weeks teams have byes...
