This and Dap

Want to throw some dap Louis’ way.  Back about a month and a half ago Louis proclaimed “Stanford cannot tackle.”  He went on to say he would take Oregon whenever the two played.  His analysis was spot on.  Stanford’s inability to tackle (and Andrew Luck being exposed) was probably the difference in last night’s game.  [...]

Bears/Packers

Let’s talk about the Bears/Packers game.  The line of Packers -3.5 is pretty damn interesting.  There are several factors that Vegas had to deal with in making the line, the most important probably being that essentially every one and their mother seems to bet the Packers.  I’ve brought this example up a few times on [...]

Week 17 Picks

Steelers -6 (-125) I just see Pittsburgh, with a “win-and-get-in” situation for the bye and the division, take care of a struggling Browns team at home today.  Plus out of all the lines where this type of situation occurs, this one is the most reasonable to bet on, even with the juice. Falcons -13 John [...]

For those of you paying attention…

And you know who you are…sean is lighting it up.  If you look at Sean’s picks it is amazing how common sense his approach is.  Talking about jets/bears over, “too much talent on the field here to not score.”  Discussing the Packers, “Green Bay, IMO, is just TOO good to NOT make the playoffs.”  So [...]

Week 16 Picks

GB -3 vs NYG Eli Manning (who NEVER talks) spoke up in the locker room this week, telling his team to shake off that last epic fail of a loss vs Philly and speaking the importance of this game vs Green Bay, who looked awesome on Sunday night and probably would of won if Rodgers [...]

Holiday Tease

Merry Christmas everybody!  Been away for a while as I had some login issues, traveled to Vegas, and was crowned a drinking champion along with Jaguars LB Eric Alexander.  I’ve also been logging my bets on: http://www.twitter.com/seanismoney Follow me there for daily bets, quips, and intelligent thoughts that are 160 characters or less.

Lou & Pat’s Open Bets

As most of the readers of this site are aware, Pat & I have significant action with one another on some NFL regular season bets that are still very much undecided with 4 weeks to go. By far the most interesting is Kansas City to win the AFC West at 10:1. Here’s the situation headed [...]

Glad I Spent 600+ Words Ripping Chicago

The curse of the blog continues? In all fairness it was a very well played game, at home, by the Bears and absolutely horrendous play calling by the Eagles. Can anyone explain to me why the Eagles kicked field goals in the 4th quarter down 31-13 and 31-16? Some other notes: – We’ve now found [...]
