Well I am guessing alot of these people are hearing the same whispers that the Vegas odds makers have heard.  My guess is deal is done Vegas wouldn't risk those odds for a chance,

It wasn't Vegas' odds. It's a small book that only operates in a few states. They're only protecting themselves by moving the line so drastically in favor of Wentz landing in Indy. It's the only thing that makes sense. Don't read too much into it.

I said Vin Fosh knows nothing. He heard nothing. He has no sources. He makes stuff up. 100% lies on his twitter page.

May be right, but Vin won’t be the one to be relaying anything worth reading . This dude had Bryce Harper finalizing deals with 4 different teams  "per sources” until he finally landed with PHI and said "See! Told you!”. Also the guy that had most on old/new boards going nuts on draft night, had us moving up to 6 for Lamb. Then 7,8,9,yada yada.

Yea he just makes a ton of general guesses on trades, celebrates when he gets occasional one right, and deletes all other tweets. Don’t listen to Vin.

Yup I posted this to him earlier but it will fall on deaf ears. You can only even bet on it in Colorado for some reason.

Dan Sileo said it was done on Twitter too this afternoon, surprised no one posted his garbage tweets

Trash - he knew what he was doing.

Benjamin Allbright always does crap like this. Dude loves to stir the pot. But he’s good at what he does

The other issue with Wentz to the Colts (and Lowie stands to lose the most from this) is that it has the most potential to blow up in our faces.  

Wentz to Chicago?  Meh.  I bet he never wins a playoff game there.

Wentz to Indy with Reich in a dome?  That's going to be a few years of highly competitive football while the Eagles are a bottom 3 team in the NFL.

The AFC sucks.  Chiefs are king.  Bills are trying to do it the right way, but we all have no clue how much staying power they have at this point.  The Titans, Ravens, Steelers, and Browns are complete frauds moving forward.  If Reich figures Wentz out again, that might be the 2nd best team in the conference.  Of course, if Wentz plays like 2020...

He's going to the Colts over the next 24-48 hours. Vegas doesn't F around.

I don't see why everyone gets so fired up about the beat reporters.  No one is doing investigative reporting on a political scandal here (that's been diluted and twisted too, but I digress).  

In the pre-internet age, perhaps even pre-TV era, there was interesting journalism that injected drama into sports and brought that world to the fans through the spoken and written word.  I don't think there is really such a thing as journalism in the sports industry anymore.  That's not really intended to be a criticism, a complaint, or a nostalgic yearning for times gone by.  It just is what it is.  These people aren't journalists.  They just tweet out transactional rumors minutes to hours to days before they are factually confirmed, with varying degrees of accuracy.   Athletic weathermen.  

I'm predicting Wentz to the Colts for a 2nd and 4th this year, and a conditional 3rd in 2022 which can become a 2nd.

I heard Vegas thinks Wentz will be a Colt soon.

It’s. Not. Vegas. 

Honestly I’d be fine with a pair of 2’s or a 2 & 3 for Wentz

I think you underestimate's Lurie's basic decency, he doesn't want Wentz to fail, they just want a "fair" return for him. I don't think it would bother Lowie at all if Wentz rebounds in Indy, they like Reich and would be happy to see both succeed, the same way I'm sure they were happy to see Big Red get his championship (especially after getting their's).

I wouldn't hold wanting Wentz to fail against Lowie at all.

You think Belichick wanted Brady to succeed?  And vice versa?

When you trade your franchise player away amidst major drama, you want him to fail.  Let's just be honest about that.  This isn't Nick Foles well-wishing here. Sounds harsh, but that's human nature with these things.

It’s not semantics. It’s a small Colorado only betting site. It looks like Vegas doesn’t even offer it anymore.

The point of my post doesn't change since that betting app isn't trying to lose money either. Hence, semantics. Sad that I have to explain this to you.

Of course they're not trying to lose money, but is it earth breaking news that Indy is the favorite? They don't know anything that the public doesn't know.

You’re right. Aurora, Colorado doesn’t f around.
