thatta boy webb...i want to hit my middleETA: oh well, bears complete the 11/12 teaser weekend, i'm going to miss the nfl...what a cash cow this year.

Congrats!

 

[Scruff Mcgruff]

Going big on Dallas +3 against the Magic tomorrow. Orlando's players haven't gelled yet and the Mavs are playing great basketball. The line seems kind of sketchy given all of this so I'm praying against Vegas trickery

 

[Raider Nation]

You can get the Colts this week -3 at plus money. Do it. Now.

This is exactly the type of game where the Raiders piss down their leg. 27-13 Indy.

Huge play:I agree with your pick as well, and I'm looking at Dallas this way too. Arizona has been floundering like a fish out of water lately. Dallas has way too much talent and I think the books are feeling stingy on Dallas after being let down by Wade Phillips

Arizona is in the bottom rung of NFL teams this season. I mean, come on, they just lost to Carolina by seven. They don't even stand a chance against Dallas' offense. Ware and the boys will have a field day in the Arizona backfield.

Dallas -7 (EVEN) 5 units [i want to end the NFL season with a bang]

Small play:

I haven't played the Seahawks this year at all, but I think this is a good game to get Hasselbeck back into shape. They've still got a good receiving corp., and the Buccs have been hit by injuries defensively. This is an even division matchup as far as I can tell. Tampa Bay wins it 20-17.

Seahawks +6

agree with both...but I'm gonna wait on Utah. I see 17.5 popped up at Bodog, and I can see people piling on BSU when they realize they are playing.did anyone get a chance to get down on my Italian Serie B draw bet yesterday. I don't want to say the fix was in.....but normally a draw bet odds are between +180 on up to +400. I'd venture to say that 75-85% of draw lines are between +200- +250, so +180 is quite low which is what I was getting in at. Pinny odds on the draw were at -150, and there was something like 4.2 million matched on European exchanges on the draw line, pushing it as low as -180 on some places. To put it in perspective Everton/Man City entire handle was about 2.5 million.....

Can I please talk you out of this one? "Systems" are nice, but you have to make exceptions sometimes. OAK +9 sucks. They count on controlling the game with the run. Once Manning gets up a couple of scores - and he will - you are now relying on Jason Campbell.

No you can't. The fact that you even want to discuss this is ridiculous. How awesome have teasers been this entire NFL season....every week you pick and choose and every week I try and figure out how i'm going to get all this money offline. The number falls in the range, I'm playin it, even if God himself told me it was going to lose.

You're assuming they will abandon the run. The Colts run defense is terrible. I don't care how many TDs Peyton throws, if the Raiders stick with the run they will hang.

 

[Raider Nation]

"Every week" is a bit of an exaggeration. I was concerned about K.C. last week if Croyle started. He didn't, so it was a moot point.

I think I only mentioned a game I would lay off one other time. Giants maybe, a few weeks ago? Anyway, good luck.

Completely agree with your angle here. Louisville is absolutely going to bring everything tonight. Its rare that I'm not sure if a CUSA school can match the energy of any BCS school head to head, but that will be the case tonight.Louisville 31-7 IMO

The NFL market is much smarter than you or I. These teasers take advantage of the fact that the books lines are efficient. Unless you have a better argument than "I'm a raiders fan and they always choke in this situation" there's nothing to listen to. This money train isn't going to last forever, we're already seeing the demise with larger books preventing teases and adjusting the odds in their favor.

[MarshallPlan]

I made the Oakland/Indy game a pk yesterday just blindly guessing lines. I don't see how Indy (3-4 on the road) can be laying a fg to Oakland (5-2 at home). Oakland still has a chance at the playoffs and won't lay down here. The Colts really aren't playing very well, I don't think there's much of a difference between the two teams. And yes Indy has Peyton Manning, save that argument.

Here's why the line is off or at least my reasoning.

Oakland went to Jax 2 weeks ago and got 3.5. The line tells me both teams are even (slight edge to Jags at best).

Then, Indy laid 4 to Jacksonville last week. Once again line tells me they are even (slight edge to Indy).

Now on a neutral field Indy is -6. That number is out of nowhere and makes no sense. Indy pk or -1 seems like a good number.

Are you teasing all these together? What's the strategy you guys are using in here?

I have been doing 3 game teasers - which pay +180 at sportsbook.com - so for 7 games you would make 35 bets to cover all combinations. I think most people in this thread are doing 3 gamers or 2 gamers. You can't just follow lumpy's list blindly though - not all these games are in the basic system range at sportsbook.com (but they have the Bengals at +7.5, which would qualify - total of 4 games now in the range).

I thought Lumpy and I were going to be the only ones on Southern Miss. I have em in a carry over teaser @ +8.5, a carryover parlay with them on the ml, and a straight play -2.5.College hoops tonight I like UNLV +3.5 and OK ST. -9.5. Austin Peay looks like a decent play too. Going the other way on Northwestern. I like the Johnnies -3. UCDAVIS for a small play as well.

 

[guru_007]

I'm on So Miss +3

 

[Raider Nation]

I loved watching S. Miss. and playing overs in that conference all year. Fun football... fast break offense at it's best.

But I think the Cardinals have better athletes on defense than what USM is used to seeing in C-USA.

BSU is 0-2 against non BCS schools in bowl games.

Backup QB in for Utah

I can't imagine Peterson doesn't have his team up for this game after that Nevada debacle. Yes they had BCS aspirations but I can't see him allowing the team to lay an egg.

This is such a tough one to call and 17 points is a lot, but BSU is the better football team for certain.

espn's take:WHO TO WATCH: Utah quarterback Terrance Cain. Sure, we could have listed Kellen Moore or Austin Pettis or Titus Young. But the story of the game could be how Cain performs as the starting quarterback in place of Jordan Wynn, who is out with a shoulder injury. Cain is 9-1 as a starter and more than capable of leading this team. He is more athletic than Wynn and could be a threat to run. But he also looked shaky in relief of Wynn against BYU in the regular-season finale, throwing two interceptions in eight pass attempts. WHAT TO WATCH: Tempers. The two teams already tangled during one pregame welcoming dinner, and Utah receiver DeVonte Christopher referred to Boise State as "Girlse State" on Twitter. So we should watch early in the game for any chippy play. It seems both teams are feeling a bit disrespected going into this game: Utah because it is the underdog; Boise State because it had no shot at getting an at-large BCS berth despite being ranked in the top 10 with only one loss. Both teams are going to have to be in control of their emotions from the beginning.
