Miracle Covers

Monday

We went pushy-pushy here as Atlanta came back to tie and then win against New Orleans in OT while Jacksonville set their game on fire in Philadelphia and was miracle covered at the end.  It was an excellent day for Sportsbooks all around as Chicago, New England, New Orleans, Denver and Pittsburgh all failed to cover and/or lost outright and all had over 70% exposure with the Eagles being the only +70 team to cover.  I mentioned to Sean and Pat yesterday that I really should have taken Buffalo as well but cest la vie and all that.

Two baseball plays tonight:

Cardinals (Miller) @ Reds (Axelrod) +112

Orioles (Gonzalez) @ Red Sox (Kelly) -110 

One interesting game tonight in the NFL and it’s the late one with the Cardinals moving from -3 to -2.5.  Since it’s before week 3, I’m free to ignore the public numbers not being quite to my liking :)  We’ll see if I take the game or not.

Friday

No baseball again tonight. Not much in the way of leaners either. Line moves are much more subtle now that a lot of folks are back onto football. I’ll post my annual public service announcement here for NFL which is that any public numbers or metrics are no good until week 3, and week 1 regardless of what anyone says is mostly a crapshoot. Tread lightly…or not
