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.

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.

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.
