What’s the verdict on this league for those who watched? I only saw the huge qb hit on sportscenter. Is it worth watching? Better than arena or cfl?

Supposedly in states that have legalized gambling, MGM is developing an app where you can wager live on play calls, etc. That might be a big hook (and very dangerous) if and when it happens.
Weird, I hadn't heard a word about that today
But yes, it shows you the power of football...
I will be interested to see how the ratings are after a month.

Birmingham had the worst odds to win the championship at +1200 and their regular season win total was 3.5. They look solid to me but I think Memphis might be assisting in that.
Agree with that assessment, Cap...but one thing that Birm did this first half that I think will be hugely successful as the season goes along is ran tempo pace on offense.
You see NFL teams get winded from that...now you’re going to take a group of boneheads at a vastly inferior skill level and think they’ll have a shot vs an offense running that?
Good luck.
Even though the offense will also be tired HUGE ADVANTAGE for the offense knowing where the ball is going.
If every team just ran go routes in this league they’d score a ton. But the coaching is super bad and from guys in an era where they like 7-step dropbacks and mandatory 1st down running plays which are completely archaic in today’s football.

I like the over 47 in AZ game tonight

GL cash...my worry is that in this opening week these teams just aren’t there with the line play (especially on offense) to allow for a lot of points as a great game flow. Think we’ll see some big adjustments as the season goes on but just can’t bring myself to trust full game totals just yet. Best of luck though tonight my friend

That'll probably do this game. Innovative play calling for the win. Geez

that was too easy. fade matt simms and christian hackenburg. just hope they go back to the Hack next week; they may not. Dont see Silvers doing much anyway though so fading memphis should still be good.
taking the dog tonight. books seem to think zona has a good squad; i dont see it. so far QB play has determined the winners and I think Trevor Knight sucks. I'd rather go with Woodrum. Plus, a dog has to hit sometime right? lol

Your thoughts are 100% correct on 1st 3 games. This game opened at 52 & is now 45, the large drop is a result of what we have seen so far & offense hasn't been pretty. I hope this game is an exception
Books going to over adjust for sure, Cash. Week 2 numbers going to be 7-9 points lower on average I bet. But offenses will adjust too...at least thecoaches who have a fucking brain....which is a problem because there are some BAD BAD OLD SCHOOL ARCHAIC OFFENSIVE MINDED COACHES in this league

Singletary is the worst
He is horrific. But now you give him a Sackenburg as a QB? OMFG, then and Atlanta (whose whole team has fallen apart) are going to be unwatchable on offense.
Overlays coming perhaps...

These should be totaled in the mid-30s for the most part, I don't see how rules are close to supporting higher scores
100% this is going to happen
The huge problem I’ve seen so far is that these games are getting players coaches to play a 1999 NFL offensive formation / playcalling regimen.
The league even 5 years ago was world’s different in its formations and looks and these dudes coaching stuck in time warps and mandatory 1st down runs are lost in comparison to what is becoming the norm in today’s high level football

I only watched the San Diego game , but I would rarely pass if those are the quality of the qbs
Bigger issue is that the offensive lines REALLY suck.
These teams should be running spread offenses and trying to push the pace. So far this Salt Lake QB is 5/11 (with 3 passes on target but all dropped or hitting his guy in the face) but they’re running way more spread formations than any other team I’ve seen.
Can’t have a high paced NFL and NCAA product and then a new league with coaches implementing systems that Kenny Anderson was running 30 years ago

This league is a notch above the MAC and AAC. I've recommended to the AAF to name each game a Bowl game to create interest. If we can watch atrocious Bowl games for a month because its football, then let's give it a try here. It's good like minor league baseball is, but to watch this past March Madness is really unfathomable. I cant lie, I'll take this in February but not much further past the NCAA Conference tournaments.

Yes, worth it IMO. New league definitely has potential.
