Sports Betting Discussion
I'm going to start posting here regularly with regards to NBA/NFL/NHL bets (and MLB when season starts) so feel free to chime in. I'm mainly going to post for NFL games here as they only happen once a week which allows more time, but feel free to follow my progress here as well as my blog which you can access through my signature.
I'm no expert by any means, and I'm not going to encourage anyone to follow me as I have not had a big enough sample size to call myself a long term winner.
NFL this week:
Titans vs. Lions u44.5
Titans -11 vs. Lions
Cardinals +3 vs. Eagles
Colts -4.5 vs. Browns
Anything else catches anyone's eyes?
Adding Giants -3.5 vs. Redskins
Raiders -3 vs. Chiefs

Call me crazy... but I'm all over the lions this week... Tennessee finally lost, so look for them to coast into the playoffs... and this is the Lions only national TV game this year... look for a half-way decent showing from them...
Titans 23
Lions 16
Take the Lions +11
You heard it here first!
But also a chance for Titans to prove that they're a force to be reckon with after a lame performance last week?
I'd beware of the Cardinals. They are a better team than the Eagles right now but they are traveling East on a short week. Tough spot.
Any chance of getting a MOD to remove this post!!! Thank-you in advance!!
I was thinking of re-quoting it just for reference in the future...
Is anyone crazy enough to take my Dolphins over the Ravens?
Not with the line at +3.5 right now.
And Philly giving 2.5
I'd just like to add that it's bullshit that the 11-5 Pats miss the party, while the 8-8 Chargers make it. My argument would be much better had the Pats not gotten pounded by them earlier this year......but c'mon....they should have gotten a commisioner's exemption or something.
Don't like this game.....I'm staying away
Way too soft of a schedule to garner any sympathy here.
Also the Chargers lost on a fluke play in week 1 and got jobbed by Denver and the refs week 2. Add in the fact they had to play in London in the middle of the season I would say they are at very least on par with NE.
As for this week.....lock Baltimore and Philly. I like Atlanta against the one dimensional Cards but wouldn't put any money on it, and the Indy/San Diego game should be great.......to watch not wager.
A postseason without the New England Cheat-roits and the Dallas Backdoorboys is the greatest post season ever! Finally a really deserving team will get to the Superbowl (note: I know the Dolphins will get smoked by Baltimore on Sunday, so don't think I'm dumping on anyone personally)
You're right, if NE had beaten the SD w, they'd be in.
And they would have had 60 minutes of playoffs....not a second longer.
Taking Baltimore +3 (and putting $10 on Superbowl winner while I can still get 8-1 with them.....I'm guessing it dips a bit after this weekend.)
I'll go with Arizona +10...it's just too many points.
Also Philly +4.
I like the Chargers +6 but they are too Jeckyl and Hyde to bet on although the Ov 37.5 looks good to me.
YouTube - Willis McGahee Gets "Jacked Up" By Ryan Clark...HD Quality...Hardest Hit Ever!!!
Ouch! That's severe!
I'd wait, I think that line will go up to 7.5 by the end of the week. I'd take the over in this game and take Zona to beat the spread and for the win. The money line should be worth it.
stp
If the bookies moved it to -7.5, everybody and their mother who got Pitt at -6.5 would jump on Arizona at +7.5 and the bookies would be wiped out if it landed on 7. In fact, the line would just move right back to 7 anyway because of all that action. I'm right there with you guys if it moves to +7.5, but it just ain't happenin'.
Has anyone found an over on total turnovers and/or total interceptions? I don't really give a crap about the teams, so it would give me something to cheer for to the end.
Yeah it looks like the line ain't moving. Excellant points on why its not going to move. Think I'll take a small sprinkle with arizona money line.
On my sportsbook right now there is over 35 prop bets but no total turnovers or total interceptions as of yet. As westside has said maybe wait closer to gametime.
The last I checked canadians aren't allowed to play on bodog. The superbowl is next weekend, what about this weekend. We have the NHL all star game.
Before the lines came out I thought I would go with the East but there only getting 7/10 odds. The West is getting 6/5 odds. Think I'll go with the west, don't believe there really that big of a dog anyways. 6/4 odds if they win in normal time.
Anyone betting on this game this weekend and who you taking?
Hopefully you didn't take my advice on this one.
Yeah I took your advice and bet that one. Didn't hit it hard though. But I did hit on an in game bet where I picked the west to outscore the east in the second. But still minus money on the night. Oh well. They just about had it though.
When I was quickly scrolling through I found one prop bet that I liked and tell me if any of you would bet this one. Im getting 13/10 odds on neither team scoring 3 unanswered times in the game. This one looks pretty good to me. What do you all think?
Are there any other props that anyone is eyeing up on betting?
Later
Steve Breaston under 4 catches
Steelers +3 on 3rd down conversions
Will either team hit a field goal from within the 10 yard line- Yes!
Edgerin James less then 13 rush attempts
Kurt Warner -24 yards vs. Ben Rothles....
stp
That doesn't sound too bad. I'd certainly lean that way vs. the opposite given those odds.
I generally hate laying significant money on football bets, but Kurt Warner to throw at least one interception at -209 really piques my interest.
Well, just for fun lets see how I would have done if I would have made the bets I had faith in...
Breaston under 4 catches - WRONG! (had 6)
Steelers over 3 successfull 3rd down conversions - RIGHT! (4/10)
Field goal within the 10- RIGHT! (Jeff Reed hit a 21 & 18 yarder)
Edge less than 13 rush attempts - RIGHT! (Had 9)
Kurt Warner -24.5 yards vs Big Ben - RIGHT!! (This pick was really a no brainer, Kurt 377 vs. Ben 256)
Next year, I make bets. What a great superbowl!
