Wednesday
We were in fact 2-1 yesterday though not without some drama as both Glen Perkins and Joe Nathan blew saves as Minnesota ended up winning 4-3 in extras. Two leans in Minnesota and Houston but no plays today.
40-39 +3.61 for the season to date. NFL is 2-2 -0.25
Tuesday
Cubs were a 1-0 winner last night on an Anthony Rizzo HR. Arizona would have been a play and a 6-2 winner last night had I not been preoccupied. Three plays tonight which is a record for the season. Hopefully we will go 2-1.
Dodgers (Haren) @ Rockies (Maztek) +111
Giants (Peavy) @ Arizona (Collmenter) +108
and the worst one Tigers (Porcello) @ Twins (Nolasco) +113
Monday
Late posting. I am on the Cubs tonight Reds (Simon) @Cubs (Wood) -117. There may be an additional west coast game to follow
NFL Week 2
JAX +6 (-115)
Me and Lou will keep hitting that “DO NOT PASS” line
NYG -3 (+110)
Yes, I am a sucker
SF -7
I made the mistake betting on Jay Cutler in a teaser last week. I will not this week. Also a hedge with my season under 49ers bet. Also:

TB -6 (+110)
#gamblingadvisoryalert on St. Louis. We might have to bet against them every week until they figure things out. Probably worst team in the league, I have friend who has them at 50-1 to be worst record, THAT’S looking good. The main problem? QB. When they lost Bradford, they lost “1 of 64” meaning one of the top starter or backup QBs in the NFL. Now? I am not sure they have 1-of-108.
TEASER:
NO -7

JAX +6
SF -1
PHI/IND OVER 54

NFL Plays
Falcons @ Bengals Over 48.5 -108
Cowboys @ Titans -3 -119
NFL Sunday
I’ll get a summary up here in the next few days. When I went to sleep last night, I was near certain I’d be taking San Diego this afternoon, but their line has dropped two points in the interim and that’s too much of a line move to deal with. Same thing with Minnesota, where +3 turned into +6 with the Peterson thing and it’s now back to +3.5. One day I will have the confidence to make those kinds of plays during the week, but for now I am slumming it on Sunday morning with the rest of the degenerates in America.
Browns +5 and Giants -1 are my plays for the 1:00 games. Giants are a leaner in baseball but Kershaw is involved :(
NCAAF Plays
More to come! All plays @ 16
Tonight’s Teaser
PIT +3 and Under 44.5
I feel this will be a classic low scoring and boring PIT v BAL tilt like usual. Nevermind the whole craziness with the Ray Rice stuff.
Although interesting tidbit from Betlabs about these Thursday night Games:
Since 2005 NFL favorites have gone 48-37 ATS (+9.22 units) with 4 days of rest or fewer. #Ravens

We also have our “parlay of the season” candidate so far:

It Begins
The vast majority of NCAAF plays I make this year are going to be made with at least casual reference to the amazing Paul Myerberg. I mentioned him a few years ago, he has worked in the past as the College Football Guy for The New York Times, and he is now filling the same role over at USA Today. His predictions on what will happen can vary from spot-on to laughable, but what he will normally give you is an outstanding breakdown position-by-position for each and every team. Now, he does this once at the beginning of the season, with occasional updates on relatively important stuff. It is incumbent on you to ensure Paul’s story line as the season plays out. Fortunately we are still in early times so I can take Paul at his word for now.
Houston (+17 -104) @ BYU @ 17
