Now that a bunch of sport betting companies are sponsoring sporting events, one has to wonder when strange calls and strange coaching decisions are made(such as kicking a field goal with 4 seconds left to go when the kicking team is 10 points behind).

That's a huge problem for the NFL.  Now that they've embraced sports betting every bad call is under scrutiny.  I don't think 345 Park Ave cares who wins, other than in the playoffs, but they do want games to be close to keep viewers watching.  So I assume there's subtle pressure on the refs to keep games close.  And this comes from the magical, mysterious, unknown sky judge talking in the referee's ear.  That official is never named, and they're never held accountable, and they're making calls that determine games and seasons.  It's not that the NFL has been corrupted by organized gambling, it's the appearance that they could be that's a huge issue.  The biggest mistake the sport has ever made.

I guess Jeff George, Jim Harbaugh, Peyton Manning, and Andrew Luck were not available?

Awesome!

We will see if Drake Maye will have success against the Bills today.  This appears to be his most important game in 2025.  Overall record is 14-12 against winning teams, which is not top tier.  He's got Josh to deal with (again) and history says JA does amazing work when the game drops into the significant level.  I don't see Drake getting beyond a marginal effort today plus the Bills got players back from injury.  Play on!

Shame about the Chiefs and Mahomes getting hurt.
They'll be back in the thick of things next year.

Lions/Rams was a good one, I wouldn't mind seeing the Rams win the Super Bowl again.

Six to twelve months recovery depending on the severity of the injury.  I've learned more about this than I ever wanted to when my son at age 36 had a catastrophic knee and foot injury.  His was way worse than anything you see on a football field, but I learned all the terminology and recovery prognosis for these injuries.  Mahomes may not be back until October or November.

On another note, the Eagles beat the Raiders with statistics not seen since the 1950s and early 60s.  31-0 and it wasn't that close.  Something like 70 total yards from the Raiders?  Is that right?  A lot of great games yesterday, the Bills comeback, Dallas eliminated from the playoffs, 44 yo grandpa Philip Rivers playing okay in a close loss, and more.
