NFL Season Wins 2013

Posted in NFL - 2013/09/07 - 2 Comments

Back temporarily after a life break because as much as we wish it were the case, gambling comes in a solid 2nd or 3rd on the life priority scale.  I’m traveling again soon so baseball is likely done for me on the season, but we’ll see how it goes now that fantasy drafts are completed.

Quickly for the uninitiated, Pat and I pick five teams with confidence scoring for Over or Under the Season Wins Pinnacle line.  Winner gets a pub crawl and the loser also gets a pub crawl.  It’s a pretty sweet system.  Related, Sean and I both agree that betting on failure is a lot more rewarding.  Forward!

5) Oakland Raiders UNDER 5.5

I’ll see if Pat will take my action on worst team in the NFL which would payout much better than the -229 currently on Oakland here.  I would be shocked if this over hit.

4) San Diego Chargers UNDER 7.5

The most succinct paragraph I could find on the 2013 Chargers

San Diego Chargers. Let’s review: this team finished 22nd in offensive DVOA this year, with the worst adjusted sack rate in the league, and their major offseason fix was adding Danny Woodhead. They drafted D.J. Fluker to help protect the immobile Philip Rivers at right tackle. I think D.J. Fluker is a guard. They installed King Dunlap at left tackle. Nobody thinks King Dunlap is a left tackle. They lost promising hybrid endbacker Melvin Ingram for the season with an ACL tear, and their solution was to call up Dwight Freeney. That would be awesome if it was 2003. It is not 2003. Perpetually injured Derek Cox is their No. 1 cornerback, draft question mark Shareece Wright is ostensibly the No. 2, and offseason waiver claim Johnny Patrick and camp cut Richard Marshall are the depth at the position. The Raiders are a bigger mess, but there’s no chance the Chargers are winning eight games when the only phase of the game they can claim as a strength is stopping the run.

3) Cincinnati Bengals OVER 8.5

Like Sean, I like the Bungles this season.

2) Carolina Panthers OVER 7

Cam Newton > Ron Rivera I hope.

1) New York Jets UNDER 6.5

I don’t like this nearly as much as others do, but given my lack of NFL following this offseason I am lacking any more teams I have a strong opinion about.

  1. I would of taken the Jets under if they’re wasnt so much god damned juice

  2. Juice is good for you! Also most other books are more aggressive than Pinnacle moving the lines. I think I saw 5.5 -105 in a couple of places.
