Monday

Another winning day yesterday as only Washington was a loser. That’s two weeks in a row they have come up as a play and completely stunk. I’m honestly not sure how I will handle them if they come up as a play again in the next week or two. Houston was also an easy cover yesterday and they probably should have won outright. Atlanta required some incompetence by Buffalo but were a good play getting 4 or more points.

I hope someone has been following the hockey plays I have been listing as they’re now 7 for the last 8 and well up on the season.

Nothing in any sports tonight. Updates on lots of things in the morning.

 

NFL

Nothing clever here.  Love faves this week.  Am making an 80 bet to win 72 on all fave lines minus G-Men.  In addition, all bets here @ 20

Miami @ Jets -1 -110
Chicago @ Vikings -1 105
Parlay MLs Panthers -305 Pats -285 Browns -315
Cards @ Eagles -3.5 +100
Dolphins/Jets Over 39.5 -110
Parlay MLs Colts -180 Bills -25

Sunday

Mixed day yesterday as both hoops sides were winners, Eastern Illinois by a single point and Harvard by a lot.  One the Texas A&M total, it turned out to be a bad line as it should have been 138.5 instead of 128.5 and was quickly corrected after I placed by action.  It didn’t matter as the teams only combined for 107.  Kentucky was an easy loser in football and I’m back to a slight negative there after a good run.

NFL today had two games worth noting, only one of which is any good at the moment.  Houston is hosting New England today and were anywhere from +9.5 to +7.5 underdogs.  That’s now moved to 7 or even 6.5, removing the Texans as a play today :(  The other notable game is Atlanta +4 “at” Buffalo as the game is being played in Toronto.  I am on Atlanta for a small (half) play.  Lastly, the night game tonight is the Giants @ Washington.  Not sure yet if that will amount to anything, but if so Washington is the side to be on there.

NHL: Nothing yesterday but one game very likely today and that’s Edmonton +150.  Gametime is 6:00 Eastern so I’ll confirm that later.

NCAA: No totals yet as they tend to get released late.  One side today, Siena +10.5

Good luck today.

UPDATES: Added Atlanta +4.5 to make for a full bet and confirming Edmonton +150

UPDATE 2: Washington to win -105 

Week 13 Quick Slants

UFC:

Nate Diaz +105

NFL:

Teasers: NE -9 and Over 47 at HOU; Atlanta +3.5 and Over 48 at BUF

Jacksonville +7 (even) also will throw this in teaser with Under 40.5 vs Cleveland

49ers -7 vs St. Louis

Our bet of the week comes from the WagerMinds twitter:

 

 

 

Saturday

Updates sporadically as I am all over the place today but not drinking in front of one or more televisions unfortunately.  Football play was a loser yesterday, but MO State won for some more Zimbabwean dollars.

College Hoops: Texas A&M – SMU OVER 128.5

College Football: I like Kentucky tonight but it’s too early to post a play.  I would like the line to move back to 4 and I will pass at 3.  Nothing else looks very appealing

NHL: Seemingly everyone is on a back-to-back.  That will happen when the usual batch of Thursday games is pushed to Friday.

NFL tomorrow

UPDATES:

Kentucky +3.5 at home to Tennessee

Hoops side: Eastern Illinois +7

UPDATE 2: One more hoops side Harvard -10

Fake Holiday Friday

Some of us have to work today, which is fine but weird if not in a retail environment.  I am thankful for two winners yesterday among many other things.  Short post today like most days but here we go:

NCAAF: Eastern Michigan +17  I’m not positive, but I think Eastern Michigan’s band once dressed in Yellow or White Uniforms, proceeded to “fill” a virtual beer mug and then “spill” onto an opponent’s field for their halftime show.

Apparently this is an early game so I’m getting this up now.  NHL and College hoops if I have time.  NHL will probably be a pass today.

NCAAB Fake Play: Missouri St. +4.5

Happy Thanksgiving

For those of you looking to gamble on something other than NFL today I give you the following:

Charleston/San Diego State UNDER 133

Edmonton +125

Ottawa was a 6-4 winner yesterday.  Hockey overall is up to 12-8 +8.52 on the season, though I’m not too optimistic about this Oilers game @ Nashville tonight.  Nothing in NFL as noted so see Pat’s Sean’s post below on that.  College football today, TIT would be the game & side I would pick if forced, but I am passing on both games.

Gobble Gobble; Gamble, Gamble

Tomorrow is a day of thanks, where millions across the country will be thanking many countless football players that they’ve never met for helping them win money for XMAS gifts this year.

I also thank the gambling gods to give me 3 reasons to watch these games tomorrow (because some of the talent on the field sure won’t).  All of these teams are pretty darn flawed.

GB +7 (-120) at Detroit

Detroit is an undisciplined mess but supremely talented.  The Packers also know they need to win this game to get it back to Aaron Rodgers for a chance to win the division/wild card down the stretch, despite having Matt Flynn at QB.  It will be a close division game and I am sure someone on Detroit’s defense will at some point be called for an unsportsmanlike penalty call.

Pittsburgh/Ravens Under 41 (-110)

Big game for both teams, with the loser being out for a chance for the craptastic 6th seed in the AFC (which is +250 that team will have 9 or more wins).

I can win a division in fantasy football this week with a 6-7 record, so it’s not like *I* should talk.

Its going to be very windy and cold and raw at night in Baltimore, and these games are traditionally low scoring and close.   Add to the fact that Joe Flacco is the most useless overpaid WR in the league, this game should be a yawner (until the 4th).

Parlay: GB +7, PIT/BAL U 41, OAK/DAL O 47 (2 units to win 20)

It’s the holidays, why not!?

Happy Thanksgiving and safe holiday travels everybody!

Wednesday

Quick post before the Holiday tomorrow.  I will not have any NFL action tomorrow and likely nothing in any other sport either.  Our under yesterday in the Syracuse game was not close.  Full NHL slate today but only one play:

Ottawa +125 @ Washington

Happy Thanksgiving
