Sean and I talk about each division, with a focus the NFC South, NFC North and AFC West and why the US Soccer team failed to qualify for the World Cup (Spoiler: They are old)
Week 6 NFL
New England vs New York Over 47.5 (-110)
No Stephon Gilmore on a Pats defense already reeling. I think even the Jets can score 20-24 today. Pats get Gronk back so offense should return to normal after soft performance last week in Tampa.
Arizona +2
Dunno why Tampa favored on the road here. This should be a pick em or Arizona -1 IMO
Giants vs Broncos Over 38.5 (-115)
This is more of a math play. Both offenses terrible but watch randomness happen. And defensive TDs
Minnesota +3.5
80% of the money on Green Bay

NFL Plays
Good day yesterday, let’s see if we can keep it rolling. I’ll update with any last second action.
Ravens/Raiders Over 40 -105
The Ravens are due for some positivity on offense, and the Raiders’ secondary is just mediocre enough that I think Flacco will have a good day. EJ Manuel was actually moving the team a bit after Carr went down.
Week 5 NFL
Seattle vs LA Rams Under 48 (-110)
This game was 9-6 last year. The LA heat effects the cardio of the game, methinks as well
Buffalo +3 (-120)
How is Cincinnati favored over anybody right now?
Baltimore +130
How is E.J. Manuel favored over anybody right now?
Steelers vs Jags Over 42.5
Big Ben plays better at home, and the Jags have given up big run plays this year. Add in Bortles junk stats when they are down 21 in the 4th.
TEASER (+125):
Ravens +3
Buffalo +3
Steelers -7

NFL Week 4
To be honest, a real crappy week of games. I don’t really love anything (still gonna bet though #degen). Although I refuse to bet on Jags vs Jets….that’s when you know you have a serious gambling problem.
I couldn’t even find a 3 team teaser this week, the games are that shitty!
Philadelphia +1 (-105)
The Chargers might kind of stink. Philips Rivers is starting to get tilty. Both of these teams will try and lose the game. It should be fun.
Steelers at Ravens Under 42 (-110)
Both teams are coming off a loss vs shitty teams last week. Both teams hate each other in the NFL’s most physical rivalry. The Over/Under for personal fouls set at 1.5. This should be a rock fight.
New England vs Carolina Over 49 (-110)
DFS:
New England’s combination of great offense (avg 33 points per game) and worst defense (on pace to break the all time record for yards allowed in a season) has enabled them to be 3-0-1 vs the Over so far this year. Carolina’s offense is struggling and will try to run the ball but I even think they’ll have success enough to score 17-20 points.
CFL Bonus:
Winnipeg ML +150
Weekend Plays
Not sure how many plays will happen this weekend. ATM (At the moment) only have New Mexico St +17.5 @ Arkansas. New Mexico St is surprisingly competent against the run, which is Arkansas’ preferred attack. I will talk myself into some increasingly sketchy plays throughout the weekend, stay tuned.
UPDATE 1…Sketchy Bet Scale (4/10)
New Mexico St @ Arkansas Under 61.5 -116
This would be an absolutely legitimate, 1 out of 10 on the sketchy bet scale, if it wasn’t for our previous action. Now to hit both bets we need something like 30-21. Hence (4/10). NMSt’s point totals this year are deceptive, both on offense and defense.
UPDATE 2…Sketchy Scale (2.5/10)
Bills +8 -108
Both NM St and the Under would have hit with “Just One Fucking Stop.” JOFS may sound like a sabermetriccy, analytical deally. “The Knicks are hitting under 40% on JOFS for the season.” No. It also sounds like it should be plural. Again, no, it is very much a singular event. JOFS is a favorite of Unders and Underdogs. When Oklahoma St is favored by 47 over UAB, at some point, you are going to need JOFS. We didnt get it yesterday. I really like the Bills here. ALL of the money is going on Atlanta and yet the line has gone down from 9.5 to 8. The only slight drag is we didnt get it at the original spread.
UPDATE 3…Sketch Scale (3/10)
Lions @ Vikings -2.5 -108
Pretty normal bet, except we are not only banking on Case Keenum playing well, but doing it for the second week in a row. Veteran journeymen usually are not the most consistent bunch. They sign a deal, get thrown into action, and pull a couple games of Fitzmagic out of their ass here and there to earn another contract somewhere else. Interesting to view the Lions’ mojo after losing in brutal fashion last week.
