    Got to be the short week, it's the only think I can think of. If this was a Sunday game I'd be very confident in a Dolphins win.

    Would be quite weird to see the 72 team popping off champagne to a Dolphins loss.

    Historically, road teams do not do well on Thursday nights so I'm not surprised Bengals are favored at home, especially with questions about Tua's availability.

    They're banged up in other spots too. Spread makes sense to me.

    I thought that as well but if you look at the stats they aren't really that different from a normal Sunday game. This is from 2020, I'm not sure if it has moved that much since then...

    Home team wins 57.9% on Thursday compared to 57.1% on other days.

    I agree Brad. As I said in one of the other threads, this TEAM finds a way to win. That's ok though, keep showing the Dolphins disrespect and we'll be laughing all the way to the AFC East title and at a minimum, a deep playoff run.

    Not yet...I haven't even managed to get any work done the last two days. I don't even live in FL anymore, but I can't stop watching Hurricane Ian updates.

    Me too. I have 7 “refugees” from Tampa in my house right now. We’re watching Jim Cantorie from TWC and joking about him being an adrenaline junkie :sidelol:

    He almost got hit by lightning and already got swept off his feet by a flying tree limb...
