Would you watch the NFL if it weren't for betting and fantasy football?

I'll probably just watch the Super Bowl if it weren't for those 2 reasons. Maybe an occasional saints game.

No. I'd watch Glee re-runs and catch up on Nora Roberts novels.

Fantasy Football gives me more of a rooting interest in games not involving the NFC East (giants, eagles, and redskins can all go to hell).

That said, I don't need Fantasy to enjoy football. It's the only sport I watch religiously.

I've tried playing fantasy football, but it still couldn't get me to be interested in the NFL past week 2.

I'd still watch. I know this because I watched plenty of football before I bet on games or played FF. That being said, I'm now much more interested in games such as Bengals vs. Chargers if I have a little $$ on one of the teams. Half the reason I bet on games is because of the enjoyment of having a rooting interest in games that don't directly affect the Saints.

I would watch playoffs andthe randome big game.

If Texans ever get a QB I would get more excited about them too

I don't gamble and I've lost virtually all interest in ff since having kids. Not enough time to really pay attention.

I watch but I don't really care what happens. NFL games are boring.

I'd still watch some games, but wouldn't tune in to watch the Jags against the Titans on Thursday night

Without FF, I really don't think I'd watch any games other than those involving my team. Officiating seems to be killing the games.

a few years ago, I would have told you that I did.

But take last year for example, I really got into daily leagues on FanDuel and ended up doing pretty good. I still watch the Saints like I always have. I've been following them since I was seven years old, man.

but since I gave you a fair answer, I will also say it is threads like these that has turned this board into a joke.

Walking Dead? I'm not even a fan of the show but it's been beating Sunday Night Football in the 18-49 demo the last couple years.
