Saturday

Our leaner in Carolina last night was nowhere near good.  Carolina as Pat mentioned is not a very good team right now.  A couple of options tonight that I’m waffling on are Winnipeg and Ottawa at San Jose and Tampa respectively. I’ll also likely get NFL plays posted up tonight in an effort to get ahead of the ridiculous Sunday morning line movement that’s been happening the past few weeks.

UPDATE: Ottawa +160 @ Tampa

NFL for tomorrow:

Denver @ Jets +8.5 -103
Washington +3.5 -108 @ Arizona
UPDATE 2: Winnipeg +165 @ San Jose

Thursday Night Degeneracy

Continuing with the “favorite on TNF” theme, taking Colts -3 (settled at -3.5, started at -2.5) +105.   Luck is 12-2 in career vs division opponents.

Also taking first NHL play of the year with Winnipeg +120 vs the Arizona Coyotes (wha?).  The only time you’ll hear me say: Let’s go Jets!

MNF

Taking the Washington team +7.5 tonight vs Seattle.  This is partly a hedge with my under bet with them.

Also hedging against VT in fantasy football as I am up vs his last player, Steven Hauschka, Seattle’s kicker.  The Over for 2 Seattle FGs is -110

NFL Week 5

BAL +3.5

DEN -7.5

CHI v CAR UNDER 46.5

NO v TB OVER 48

Also, Philly’s line is down to 4.5 at some books.  I’d take at -4.5 but not at -6.

Teasers:

PHI -6

SF -6

DEN -7.5

and

PIT -7

CHI v CAR UNDER 46.5

NO v TB OVER 48

And a ML parlay for fun:

Orr NHL93

And here are your most bet on games of the day:

 

NFL Sunday

A lost week for me, I’ll get current season totals up in a bit.  No NFL plays for me today, though I’m close on several, Tennessee, Carolina and Arizona the primary ones, but I will probably pass altogether.

Thursday Night Degeneracy

Ponder is starting tonight for the Vikes, so therefore I *must* take Green Bay -10 (-105) at home.  I am also putting them in a teaser with the under at 47 (also a hedge with Matt Asiata, who I have in 2 fantasy leagues).

We’ll continue the MLB binge with taking the Angels at -1.5 at +115 at home versus the Royals and putting them and Green Bay in a parlay at +410. 

Huge split for the Angels spread bet but I think betting against Ned Yost could be a profitable strategy for us:

 

 

NFL Week 4

Chicago +2 (-110)

Green Bay might be a bad team.  I hate betting on Jay Cutler but I’ll take the point when they are at home here.  Plus it looks like Marshall is playing.  This line has gone back ands forth from +1 to +2 all week.

Baltimore -3 (-120)

The Panthers are banged up and might only have 2 RBs available today.   Cam Newton has been walking around like he’s in a nursing home due to a bad back.  And it’s also Steve Smith III revenge day; also taking two props on him hitting the Over in Rec Yards at 69.5 and score a TD at +130.

Steelers -9 (+115) and Teaser: PIT -9 and Under 44.5

TB is the worst team in the league, and the Steelers can run the ball again for the first time since 2009.

Teaser: Dallas +3 and Over 54.5

This is an important game for both teams; its SNF which usually means a lot of points.  More betting on the type of game here, close and high scoring, than on Dallas itself.

I’m also really tempted to take the Raiders ML +155 in London vs the DolphinsTannenhill’s last presser where he addressed his job made him sound like a used car salesman, just like his coach.

Here are your most bet on games of the day:

Week 4

A lost week for me.  Last Sunday was painful, I was and still am convinced I was on the “right” side with St. Louis and Minnesota last week but ended up with a pair of close losses in both cases.  I also missed a couple of profitable plays in baseball being too caught up with work.  Baseball ends today with no notable games as the betting drops off significantly in September.  NFL with this bye week has not a whole lot looking good either.  One one game I have today and it Minnesota +3 +110 or +3.5 -105 hosting Atlanta.  This will be a 2u game for me.

Any updates to be posted as we go along.  Hockey starts soon, thankfully.

Thursday Night Football

WAS v NYG Over 45.5

Week 3

My Week 2 sucked; here’s to a rebound (although I’ve had a good week thereafter the disaster on Sunday):

Dallas -1.5

Yes, I am sucker.  But the Rams’ Shaun Hill might play instead of Austin Davis; which is funny because the line probably got suspended due to the fact the Cowboys become bigger FAVORITES if he plays lol

I thought the Rams might be the worst team in the NFL; but nope, that’s is Tampa Bay.  The Bucs should be relegated for the uniforms alone.  Then this happens:

Baltimore Pick (-105)

Got this at a pick’em on Monday; it’s now -2.  Ravens coming off of a long week layoff, and I can’t resist anytime to bet against Mike Pettine (although the “short Saints on the road” might be the bet of the year).  The Saints might be fraudulent, alot like this dive by an Army player:

Seattle -5

They are at home, coming off a loss, and keep murdering teams in that building.

Vikings/Saints Over 49

Now at 50.  I’m putting this in a 4 team teaser too:

TEASER: +375

NO/MIN OVER 49

Seattle -5

GB +1

IND -1

On a last note; make sure when YOU score a goal, to hug a loved one right after, yellow card be damned:
