Calm down. Jets are up 10 and the Bills are down to the backup QB.

Remember the great quote from the movie -The Gambler-: "They don't pay off on half-time scores." ;)

Considering how poorly both of those teams have played...I wonder if it is possible to give both of them a loss instead of letting them tie.

Lord knows the Jets or Bills don't deserve to win.

Great game Sanchez :mad:

I know that's your team, but giving double digits to a home dog is very -EV over the long term. At least the Phillies saved the weekend for you.

I actually forgot to bet on the Phillies (and on Jimmie Johnson) somehow. But I still enjoyed the game.

I went 4-2 for NFL bets yesterday (added in the Saints right before game time).

OK, here's 2 for this week.

Jets -6.5 at Oakland

Logic: Jets cannot lose another game before playing Miami next week, and despite what the Raiders did (or Philly didn't do) last week, Rex Ryan's defense should befuddle JaMarcus Russell.

Bills +7 at Carolina

Logic: OK, I admit it. I gravitate toward dogs in interconference games between mediocre teams. In addition, Thomas Davis, the Panthers best run stopper, will be way less than 100% IF he plays at all, and the Bills can run. The Bills can also rush the QB, and Jake Delhomme needs things to be perfect not to suck. :D

I almost forgot to make some bets this week. Let's see, I'm gonna go with:

Chargers -5.5 vs. Chiefs
Packers -9 vs. Browns
Vikings +6 vs. Steelers
Saints -6 vs. Dolphins
Falcons +5 vs. Cowboys
Eagles -7 vs. Redskins

Also, Jimmie Johnson will win Martinsville today, but the odds are just terrible. Betting $10 to win $25 in a field of 43 drivers on a short track? I can't do it.

Obv betting 6 NFL games after 2 minutes of looking at the lines, I'm more betting for fun that anything, but those are my picks for this week.

The saints were my lock for the week.Man I suck the last 2 weeks.

I went 4-2 again this week AND won my 7 team (straight up, not ATS) parlay. Woot!

My rarely used (just for-fun) sports betting account now has a balance big enough that I think it's worth cashing out some for the first time in a long time.

I'm petty sure I only ever deposited once, way back in 1997 and I've only made a few withdraws, but it's pretty cool to still be running on that same money.

Nice on the parlay thats hard to do 7 teams:cheers:

This was my favorite way to bet when I got started in 1997. I'd basically pick the biggest favorites of the week (skipping any that I thought had good shots of being upsets, like this week when I skipped the Giants playing the Cardinals (I think the Giants were favored). It's amazing how much the odds add up when they multiply like that. This week's 7 teams were all more than 7 point favorites and I ended up getting better than 5:1 odds. Boom - easy money!

Of course, more often than not, 1 upset wrecks this little "system" of mine. I usually pick 4-6 teams, but honestly liked all 7 a lot this week.

I was in a straight up pick'em league one year, back in like 1999 or 2000, and actually had a perfect week once (13 games, I think it was). That doesn't sound that impressive, but it really is. No parlay for me that week, but that would have been some sick odds, and I even had a couple of dogs in there.

We had someone in my office pool go 18 for 20 this past week... and we do 10 college and 10 NFL games all against the spread. I think the best I've done in that format is 15... 18 is pretty nuts.

6 pt teaser, OK state +15 & Oregon +9
7 pt teaser, GT -6.5 & Mich St. +3.5

my god OK state stop dropping passes and missing fg's

2 for this week
 

I don't really love anything this week, but here the 2 I like best:

Giants -1 at Philly

Logic: Against the Eagles off the short week. Plus the MNF game was more a win based on the Skins ineptitude than anything Philly really did that was impressive.

Jags at Titans Under 44 1/2. Just feels like a slogging, low scoring game.

I'm going with:

Broncos +4 vs. Ravens
Texans -3.5 vs. Bills
Eagles + 2 vs. Giants (this is me betting purely as a fan)
Jaguars +3 Titans (I really like this game)

I'll probably also take this tomorrow ( has a no juice line on this game):
Falcons + 11.5 vs. Saints

Another winning weekend for me. Funny that the game I loved the most wasn't even close though. Who knew there was a football team in Tennessee? And Carolina wrecked my parlay... jerks.

At least the Eagles made Kurn look dumb. :)

I am now -1k in sports betting, so just do the opposite of whatever I pick and ur golden.

funny that I did much better when I didn't research the games at all and just went with whatever I felt like

2 for today
 

SF -4 vs. Tenn

Logic: I've said I lean towards dogs in interconference games between mediocre teams. In this case, neither team is mediocre. The Titans are a bad team with a weak QB, and the 49'ers are becoming a good team. last week vs. Indy was not a fluke.

Texans +8.5 at Indy

Logic: No brainer. Best bet I've seen this year. Colts' secondary is decimated vs a passing attack that's right up there with the best in the NFL. Peyton will have to absolutely light it up to avoid their first loss here. In fact, taking flier on a parlay of Hou +8.5 and over 49.5 in this game would look tempting to me if I liked parlays. :cool:

22-31 for 200 yards and 1 TD...5 minutes in to the second quarter.

I think his arm is going to fall off before the start of the fourth.

I booked the following just before 1:00 kickoff:

Falcons -8.5
Saints -12
Chargers +5
Eagles -3
Broncos +3

And Jimmie Johnson to win the NASCAR race today.

Done on lap 3

Damn... in my office pool where we pick 20 games (10 college, 10 NFL) against the spread, I'm 17-2 going into the Monday night game. Why oh why did I not get some serious $ placed on the games this week! Fuck.

I havent layed a wager in two weeks.
Anyone have thoughts for next week?

that is insane, did you bet any of them?
