FFA Wagering Thread: THERE HE IS!@! (8 Viewers)

I may be an idiot from time to time and sides/totals are not usually my strength but no way in hell do math models favor the Steelers by over a td in this game. This game was played a month ago starting at Pitt +6 and closing 4. Jets won outright. Yes, no Polomalu/Heath - those guys are not worth 4 pts. No way does one game change 4 pts in which the previous game was won SU by the opposite team. If so, why was the previous line bet down?Jets just got done beating 2 HOF qbs in their own stadium and gaining a lot of confidence. Pitt looked very sluggish in a sloppy game (by both teams) against Balt. I wasn't impressed but they made enough plays to get the job done. I think Jets 1q, 1h may be better then the game. Not sure they can comeback if down DD in this one. Call me a square today but I am betting GB and NYJ. No mike wallace td -120 and -155 are big bets of mine too.

I'm most concerned about the Jets having a let down after there "super bowl" last week.I'm just playing props this week...don't like any of the sides. Maybe...MAYBE CHI/GB O42.5

MP - why are you so anti-Wallace today?
Click to expand...
He hasn't been scoring as many tds in the last few games. Very low total, Pitt TT at 21. Mendenhall big fav to score 1 td. That leaves 2 tds that I am likely up against. Cromartie a good matchup for Wallace with his speed, I'd expect a lot of man underneath and a safety over the top against Wallace. No need to worry about Revis on the other side against Ward. Jet cover corners really playing well and Wallace is for sure the #1 Pitt threat, I don't anticipate the Jets letting him being the guy beating them.

I think there is some context around that game that you're ignoring. The Jets had just come off 2 embarrassing losses and were desperate for a win. Pittsburgh had just beaten Baltimore and Cincinnati and merely had to win 2 of 3 (Carolina and Cleveland were also on their schedule) to win the division at that point.That game meant a whole lot more to the Jets than the Steelers.

I agree with the bolded. Jets won't worry about Ward. They'll have all their safety help on Wallace. Maybe big day for Emmanuel Sanders?

Okay let's take that into account. Even though I don't really agree the Jets were desperate for a win so they "tried" harder. I can understand the Steelers not trying as hard, but it was a national tv game. So let's say that game should have been +6. What do you make today's game?

 
I really don't think "the public" bets a lot of props.

My card for today:

GB -3.5 (-105) 1u

Bears +9 Jets +9.5 1u

Bears +9.5 Jets +9.5 1u

Jets ML +170 1u

Jets +3.5 2u

Both game overs (38 and 42.5) for .5u each for action

Yes, I would be pro Sanders and Brown. Maybe Heath as well. I am not playing any of them though.
 
CHi +3.5/O

Pitt ML/O is one parlay

Also teased CHI +10.5, Pitt +3, NYJ/Pitt O 31

I think PIt and NYJ puts up some points. PITT wins, but does not cover - just a gut feeling;

CHI keeps this closer due to special teams than people realize, IMHO.

GLTA

AB

 
I know NOTHING about college hoops so I figured I would ask the board. What do you think about the Indy under 138 today? Another buddy of mine likes it.

 
I have the same gut feeling on PIT winning and not covering. Too bad that margin of victory odds are terrible bets usually. PIT 1-3 is +450.

I'm on GB -3.5 and under 42.5 as a parlay and separate bets. Also did a GB ML/Under parlay. No idea what I'm doing later. I may play the PIT ML depending on how I do in the first game. GL guys.

ETA: Adding CHI TT under 20.5(-115) and Knox over 3.5 rec(-125).

Just added Sachez U 205.5 yards for a unit - based on the same weather numbers as the Patriots game. it's 18 right now and feels like 7 according to weather.com.

 
I played Sanchez U19.5 completions. Also on H. Miller O3.5 receptions, H. Miller yes TD, and B. Edwards O3.5 receptions. Don't tail me, I'm a donk. Also thinking about hitting some M. Wallace overs ;)

Adding Wallace O3.5 and Sanders O3. Banking on everyone but Ward having a decent game, LOL.

MP, do you do any research on the no defensive/special teams TD? Or do you bet it blind? Just wondering since I see you play it a lot. I see it's -165 for the GB game.

 
OK my hockey buddy has his picks in. He has one three star play - Buffalo over 33.5 -125, and one "two and a half" star Florida Under 29.5 -125.

On both for two units, might go an extra one of buff if I can't find anything else on the NFL. Bad way to look at it I know...

Alright, before the football game:

Flyers +105 - coming off a loss to the Devils and playing a shell of the team they faced in the Cup last year. They'll be motivated here

Really no reason other than I came in to post it earlier this morning and thought I did, but it never came up (computer issue, I guess). I'm the public. :lmao:

If the Steelers win by 4-10 (and I do well on the two remaining GR props, plus the few I played), it's going to be an epic day. I almost feel like I should hedge on the Jets, but just can't seem to do it. I want to add more to the Steelers....................................

Just out of curiosity, can I ask what are the two remaining GR props you're tailing?

NHL Prop warning for tomorrow. Atlanta give up the second most shots in the NHL + Tampa is in the top 4 of shots taken + Tampa is very good at home = Tampa Over shots.If this line opens less then 31, pound it. It should open 33.5.
Click to expand...
Guessing line will open 33.5-34.5. My number suggests 35. Under these scenarios, no play for me.
Click to expand...
Opened 33.5 and hasnt moved. A Tip of my cap to the sportsbook odds maker on this one.
Click to expand...
Should have bet it anyway... 36 with 11 mintues left.
 
pinnacle has a super bowl line up, GB pk -110 at open and quickly went to -123

eta: back down to -110
