How do you end a game on a quarterback sneak anywhere other than the 1-yard line? Dallas is a quarter century past greatness.

It's not a prop, but my "bold" prediction this week is that Henry gains less than 100 yards (He'll be effective just not over 100). I think he splits carries first off, and the time off (and coming off injury) will keep him from being 100 percent. Plus, I think the gals try to make Tannehill beat them by stacking the box. He might end up with something like 18 carries for 80 yards but it won't be 32 carries for 217 yards type of day. Just my two cents which isn't worth a nickel, so there's that. lol

Three of my dogs have paid off so far. Now I'm sweating the Bills.

Holy crap, what a game. NFL overtime rules suck so hard.

Yeah, that was disappointing that winning the coin toss would be such a significant advantage. But what were the Bills doing on the play before KC's field goal to tie??
posted by bender at 10:03 PM on January 23, 2022
And why didn't they squib that last kickoff in regulation?
posted by The_Black_Hand at 10:14 PM on January 23, 2022
Another good question

Contest Standings
It was a rough week for props. Only Patrick Mahomes and his 404 passing yards won some points for players.
