I had a great weekend, going 3-0 betting the NFL (Denver +3, Atlanta +2.5, Indy -3.5 (ty RD)), won all 3 Phillies related bets I placed (didn't bet the one game they lost), and won my NASCAR bet, picking Jimmie Johnson to win.

I really need to get some $ on a sportsbook.

Indeed. I know I'm in a minority here, and it's probably because I am just "used to it," but I still like . I've been betting with them, for 12+ years.

I actually logged into my Bodog account for the first time in a few years yesterday and saw I had $65ish sitting in there, so I put it all on he Phillies last night. Man, what a game that was!

Florida -24 Arkansas

For a variety of reasons I just don't see Florida coving that spread: (1) they could have a letdown after all the hype of their big game last week at LSU, and many were saying that was the only hurdle for the Gators until the SEC Championship Game, (2) Arkansas can score, they've put up 41 or more in 4 of their 5 games this year, (3) Urban Meyer put in a very conservative game plan last week in response to Tebow coming back from a concussion and they have been much more of a run-first, control the clock offense than they were last year, I doubt that will change this week.

Given all the above, this has the makings of a trap game and reminds me a lot of the situation coming into the Gators game against Mississippi last year (a game the Gators lost at home). I don't think the Gators lose this one, but I can see it being fairly close, something like 30-17.

Shit, even closer than I thought. Hope some of you guys jumped on that... I, unfortunately, didn't.

I like the money line on the bears game tomorrow +165, but I don't have any money online.
