It appears that Dave Portnoy’s knack for predicting NFL matchwinners has waned. In the past, he frequently favored the Cincinnati Bengals, rarely considering other teams. His ‘charm’ seemed to be Joe Burrow‘s obvious talent when supporting the Bengals. However, following Joe’s threatening injury, Dave Portnoy has shifted his focus to finding winners among other NFL teams.

Dave Portnoy and the misjudgment that cost him dearly?

On Sunday, the Miami Dolphins trembled in the field several times while facing the Raiders. If Dolphins’ Tua Tagovailoa claimed to be the boomer, then Tyreek Hill stood for the Dolphins in that game. However, some extraordinary movements from the Raiders might have made Dave Portnoy ignore the winning chance of the Dolphins. His post-match X-tweet has shown his utter disbelief in the scoreline.

After losing a double bet, Dave Portnoy has vented most of his anger on the match decisions. Meanwhile, the late injury of Joe Burrow has seemed to be another perpetrator to make Dave call wrong. At least, Dave has admitted that in his post. However, the reality seems to be the opposite. Despite some overturned TDs mentioned by Dave, the Raiders could not Stop Tyreek Hill from scoring on his choice in that game. Miami Dolphins capitalized on those movements and TDs from Tyreek Hill.?

Joe Burrow’s injury news might have given Dave Portnoy a distinct feeling. Before the injury came in, Joe clinched the position of highest-paid NFL player in September this year. Not just that, Burrow took the team victorious in back-to-back 2022 Super Bowl and AFC title games.?

That must be the reason for Dave Portnoy’s larger stake investment in Joe Burrow. Previously, he mostly preferred to bet on the Bengals and Eagles.
