Predict the Panthers record - game by game version

[R0CKnR0LLA]

I'm not pouting, this is what this thread is for, discussing our thoughts on how the Panthers do next year.

And maybe you noticed the word "almost", I put it in there for a reason. There are never any guarantees in football (although you made one). I said I would take a bet on who wins or loses, I don't want to add in a bunch of if/and/but scenarios. Last I checked, your prediction had New York Jets with a L next to it. Are you willing to bet on that or do you want to backpedal?

[Gman was right]

I never guaranteed that the Jets would beat the panthers. I clearly said the game is close to 50/50 but I would give them the edge since its a cold game at home. So no Im not betting that they'll win because I could see the panthers winning it too. But you almost "guaranteed" that the panthers would be HEAVY favorites which is completely absurd and Im guaranteeing you they will not. So why not back that up if you're really that confident? An almost guarantee is a pretty bold prediction. Aparently you were just talking out your ass.

[R0CKnR0LLA]

OK, either it's 50/50 or the Jets have the edge. Which is it?

LOL Nice edit.

[Gman was right]

Help me to understand what was wrong with my edit? I said it was close to 50/50 but I gave the edge to the jets.

So since you keep ducking my challenge I take it you're not so confident anymore that the panthers will be heavy favorites against the jets? Thats all you had to say my man.

[R0CKnR0LLA]

If you noticed, when I mentioned the Panthers being favored I said that's the case IF Sanchez is the QB. Also as I said, I don't make bets with a if/and/but scenarios, like who is starting, who is injured, ect. Furthermore, I would rather bet on an actual game, than what Vegas puts the spread at. They make bad spreads all the time, that's how professional gamblers make a living. I don't want to be correct (and the Panthers win) but lose the bet because Vegas screwed up. I'd rather bet straight up on my own intuition, something you're not willing to do.

You guaranteed the Jets would be favored and said the Jets are more likely to win. But, you don't want to bet because there's a chance that the Panthers win? I guess you only will bet if there's a "sure thing", which there aren't any.

[Gman was right]

Nope, never said the jets were most likely to win. For the 3rd time I said that the game is close to 50/50 but I would give the slight edge to the jets because they were at home. If I had almost guaranteed that the Jets would win then I would put my money where my mouth was unlike someone else I know.

[R0CKnR0LLA]

Giving them the edge, means they're more likely to win. (and I don't know why you keep saying "most" likely) Plus you straight up guaranteed that they would be favorites, no almost or maybe. So if you believe that, you'd bet that they'd win. But you're not willing to do that. For what reason exactly?

I've said the reasons why I won't bet on a spread (never seen anyone bet on what a spread will be) But I'm more than willing to bet on the actual game.

Guaranteeing that they'll be favorites and guaranteeing that theyll win or two different things. The panthers have been underdogs in the past and have won and I have no reason to think they cant beat the jets though I give the edge to the jets. But I GUARANTEE they will not be the favorites when they do play unless the jets are ravaged with injuries. Understand now?

Ill take it once again that you are not so confident that the panthers will be "heavily favored" like you almost guaranteed they would. Otherwise you wouldnt have backed off of the challenge.

[R0CKnR0LLA]

So there's got to be a guarantee that they'll win before you would bet on that? Gotcha. Gotta wait for those sure things to come around.

And back off what challenge exactly? To bet on a spread with a bunch of if/and/but scenarios attached to it as well?

[Gman was right]

I never guaranteed the jets would win you on the other hand guaranteed the panthers would be heavily favored. That is a very bold prediction to make especially in may. If you are bold enough to make that prediction then you should be bold enough to back it up. Obviously you werent that confident.

[R0CKnR0LLA]

Again, I never guarantee anything in football (although you did with the Jets) and even then I said only if Sanchez is QB. And yes, I'm bold enough to back up what I've been saying all along.

Unlike you, who picks the Jets to win, guarantees they are favorites, says they are more likely to win... BUT... here it comes... won't bet on them to win.

[Gman was right]

Exactly now you're getting it! Because guaranteeing them to be the favorites and guaranteeing them to win are two different things. I could see the panthers winning (though I dont think they will)but I see no way them being heavy favorites like you. Two different topics. Stay with me here.....

[R0CKnR0LLA]

Right, but you still said the Jets have the edge to win the game and picked them in your predictions... but won't pick them to win now when I challenge you on it.
