Miracle Covers

1/3

Tough non-cover last night.  Utah is a somewhat fun, definitely young team that I think (along with the Detroit Pistons) will be good in about 2 years.  The problem they have now is their skill players just aren’t skilled enough and they lack a legit go-to scorer.  Where Carmelo Anthony is doing absolutely nothing in New York right now, he is a player that would make some sense out in Utah provided he didn’t wreck the potential dynamic.  Until then, gamblers and fans will have to live with Trey Burke putting up Starksian 2-19 shooting efforts (including bricking a last second 3 for the miraclish cover).  Rumor has it he is a point guard.  Speaking of, I agree that Rondo’s statement regarding not playing D for the last 2 years is somewhat shocking.  To imply that he had been playing D those previous years is a bold claim to be sure but we’ll have to take him at his word.  Only one play so far at the moment…

Ravens +3 +102 @ 23

YTD : -23.47

MTD : -23.47

***UPDATE***

Prop Bet

Most Gross Passing Yds : Cardinals QBs +20.5 -109 @ 22 vs Newton

I feel the Cardinals, who threw for over 3 hundo last week against SF, will have to rely on the passing game.  Arizona CBs and WRs are better than the Carolina corps.  And finally, I do not wish this on a person, but notice the bet is for the Cards’ group as a whole against a slightly injury prone and very specific Cam Newton.

1/2

I was essentially freerolling yesterday for the Alabama game as I had no business hitting the teaser-assisted under in the Oregon game.

Atlanta Hawks @ Utah Jazz +4.5 -106 @ 19.  Utah is playing very well at the moment, playing at home, have had the last few days off, and are a home underdog.  We’ll see…

YTD : -4.47

MTD : -4.47

Tease me

Generally I leave the teasers to professionals like Sean.  But it’s a holiday.    I honestly don’t love anything today but I think these are decent plays and I just want to have a bit of action on things.  3 team 7 pt teaser takes

Oregon -.5

FSU/Oregon Under 81

Alabama -.5

20 to win 26

MTD : –

YTD : –

***UPDATE***

They just announced that Nick O’Leary has a tweaked hamstring.  To call him integral is a fairly serious understatement.  I’ll let it roll.

Oregon -7.5 -103 @ 16

Buzzed and Fiesty

This is my big bet for the year.  And the other ones are big (thats what she said) because I am stuck.

Dolphins -3.5 -110 @ 80

Bears +9 +100 

Panthers -4 -105

Under Jets/Pats 47 -103 

NFL

I say that but my first bet is…

Swansea v Tott Over 2.5 -116 @ 21

This is a flat out awful bet but I have a lot of fantasy players that need to do things so I am taking an anti-hedge.  The reason I posted this as NFL is because I am going to bet on just about every football game in about 2 hours.
