6. Hot takes whenever an opposing team loses a close game
This one’s a bit more fun.
Imagine the uproar when Dez Bryant’s touchdown grab ends up being ruled incomplete. It’s going to be crazy, right? Or how about the frenzy that will ensue when a close call ends up costing a team a win?
The go-to hot take will be to assume that, because the game is being played in Vegas, that somehow the fix is in.
This is going to be a hilarious (to us, at least) byproduct of having games played in one of the biggest gambling capitals of the world.
Though the NFL needs to be on guard against any potential scandals, the fact of the matter is that, given the digital age we live in, location isn’t an issue when it comes to gambling. People can, for the most part, gamble on NFL games from the comfort of their own homes.
Contesting games where plenty of gambling takes place isn’t going to lead to contests getting fixed. But it sure will lead to some hot takes about the outcomes whenever things go sideways.
