Interesting tidbits from AI:

"NFL referee Shawn Smith is known for heavily favoring road teams, particularly by calling significantly more penalties (like false starts and holding) against home teams, leading to a strong home underperformance against the spread (ATS) and fewer home wins when he officiates. This creates a "cooler" effect for road teams, turning home underdogs into attractive betting opportunities, as his penalty disparity acts like a hidden handicap, neutralizing home-field advantage. "

They get their direction on how to call the game from their bosses. Nothing else really matters... what's the betting lines?

Lemme check..........Ok, it has moved. Now it's Hawks -1

FYI the banner is wrong. Shawn Smith is reffing the AFC #1 seed battle. Hawks have Bill Vinovich.

Ahhh. Thanks. Let's see what AI thinks of good ol' Bill.

Bill's tendencies:

"Bill Vinovich's referee tendencies lean towards calling fewer penalties overall, particularly offensive holding, leading to lower-scoring games and a strong trend for the under in totals. His games often favor away teams against the spread (ATS), and home teams tend to win less often than the league average, with a notable history of controversy surrounding missed calls (like the Saints-Rams NFC Championship).

Expect a cleaner game with fewer flags, potentially lower scores (tail the Under), and a slight statistical edge for the visiting team against the spread. "

I put Vinovich as our ref. The site was wrong, but I wanted to let you know the site I got it from. Thanks.

Either way, I like our chances this Saturday.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Get pressure on lame dance Purdy and they win this game.

You didn't ask AI anything about betting, or spreads, but it provided that unsolicited opinion anyway.

Hey AI, who's paying those expensive energy bills for you anyway and does it rhyme with DanFuel?

 

[SoulfishHawk]

We live in a world where Hawks fans are making excuses for the Rams.

Dayum. Twilight Zone level.
