Jags opening up as 20 point dogs at Seattle.

Think I saw its 5th highest NFL spread in history or something like that

I read somewhere that there have been 6 spreads of 20 points or more and only 1 of the 6 covered (Bills in 1991 I think).

Pats were at least 20-point favorites three times in the second half of their historic 2007 season. They didn't cover any of them.

Philly -24 (W 31-28)

Jets -20 1/2 (W 20-10)

Dolphins -22 (W 28-7)

I remember that Philly game...think the line opened at 28!

Eagles almost won with AJ Feely at QB, I actually thought they had a good chance to win going in, but I'm a homer. I like jags if you can get 20 points. Seattle seems more like a lets end this game with marshawn lynch team than a New England team looking to run up the score. Unless Caroll is back in his College days.

I haven't really looked at anything else for picks beside that Colin Cowhed guy and that is only for ####s and giggles. I just checked Stuckey and he says he went 8-1 in NFL this weekend, can anybody verify that. If so, does it seem like luck with him and the NFL or is there some substance to any of it.

ust wondering mainly because i am in this contest where you pick 5 teams against the spread each week, and i went 1-3-1 the first week, and 2-3 this week. So i need to up my game

ETA: looks like he has Tenn -3 and Atl -1.5 so far this week coming up. I refuse to bet against SD again this week coming up so i think Tenn is out for me. Those Chargers are just garbage, but Rivers and those WRs are just playing like they don't even know they suck

Yes, its true. I am just salty I did not tail these. To be fair some of his plays included ATl ML/Cin ML and a Buf/Min Teaser. He lost on the NYG, won on Sea, Mia, TB. I do not remember what else he had. The Buf/Min teaser stuck out to me as IIRC neither of those were even Wong plays. Say what you will but he seems to win more than he loses.

Stupid Saints delay...now I have 2 tickets I have to mail into the LVH. Anyone ever done this before? Do I need certified mail, or just priority mail with signature confirmation?

 

[Angry Beavers]

As an FYI, by my count Cowherd is 1-3-1 in week 1 and 1-4 in week 2 or 2-7-1 YTD! I wonder if this is called regression to the mean.

I have mailed tickets to several Vegas books and never used certified mail.

[ChainsawU]

In the NFL since 1991, when the line is set at 19 or higher:

Underdogs are 10-4-0 ATS and cover by an average of 11.1 points. The average score in those games is 30-13. link

Since 2012, the average score of a Seahawks home game has been 30-11 in favor of the Seahawks.

[The Ref]

Since 1996, Boise State is 11-2 SU and ATS against Fresno State, and 7-0 SU and ATS since 2006. link

This isn't a typical Fresno team.

Yeah I'm thinking of taking Fresno -3

Tempted to wait a bit but I have the feeling it's likely to go to 3.5 rather than 2.5

Seems the other way around. It's -115 to take Boise.

I'll wait to see if I can get Fresno under the 3. If it's near kickoff and it's still 3 I'll still take Fresno.

 

[The Ref]

I expect a A&M hangover or sorts from Bama. I like the Under on that game.

 

[got_nugs]

Minor haren. Thinking nats/over...but what do I know?

Go!

 

[lumpy19]

Monster teaser week...better start entering bets now

 

[The Ref]

I've had some luck with the pitching props of late, but we near the end of the season so dont go crazy.

Kelly Over 96.5 Pitches

Sanchez Under 6.5K

Minor haren. Thinking nats/over...but what do I know?

Go!

Nats score 3 in the 1st and 3 in the last to win 6-5. Baseball is so weird.

Saw this before I left the house today and was inadvertently monitoring it among different TVs at SportClips and at the gym. Now I'm at school, and instead of starting my assignment that is due today, of course the first thing I did was log in here. I don't know how you guys with internet access stay productive at work. Anyway, congrats if you hit it.

Last season, Fresno State was 11-2 ATS. They are 0-2 ATS so far this year. link

I would listen to your radio show if you had one. It's 2013, anybody can become a viral star. Make it happen.

The Raiders are 1-8 SU (2-7 ATS) on Monday Night Football during the last 10 years. They have been shut out twice in those games and outscored by an average of 27-11. Their one SU win on Monday Night Football in the last 10 years was at Mile High Stadium in 2011.

FWIW, I see a shootout next monday night. Oakland is playing better, at least thus far, than what they are given credit for. Manning and Co. are going to 49 on them, just like they did to Baltimore in Week 1.

 

[lumpy19]

RB must be based in New England...TB +8 -105? Yes please

Bookmaker currently at NE -6.5 -115

 

[Leroy Hoard]

Won the first 2 weeks and saved money on the no total last week. I'll stretch my luck one more time:

MSU/ND Under 41.5

My boy LeBatard is going national on the 30th of this month....not really sure how ESPN is going to play it but check it out if you can. Nothing is for everybody....but for me this guys show is gold-especially when Bomani sits in on Thursday.

re: Colin-I usually listen once a week or so which is noteworthy given how much I don't like him....mother ####### Heat hating flopper. Got to give him credit though...he gets ratings....reminds me of Rush...love or hate him, you listen. Well, not me. I'm listening to Billy Breathes. But you get my point.

 

[got_nugs]

Also...I can't get enough of that Brandon Phillips tag...reminds me of a thread I saw ov:e:r there...just, different. How degrading.

 

[Blind Tiger]

Can someone tell me why Florida is laying 17 points to anybody? Let alone another SEC team. Can they even score 17 points against a legitimate defense?

I was thinking about betting TB SU

@Johnny_Detroit "New England Patriots at home when favored by -7.0, -7.5 or -8.0 have covered their end of a 6-point teaser 90% of the time"

 

[Aaron Rudnicki]

All in on the Vikings -6

@Johnny_Detroit "New England Patriots at home when favored by -7.0, -7.5 or -8.0 have covered their end of a 6-point teaser 90% of the time"

I only went back the last 5 years, but it holds up. They are 15-2 SU the last 5 years when favored by those spreads. I might have played the Pats at pk -110 on Sunday, but for +250 I have to go with TB. The Patriots aren't a strong team anymore, they just have the reputation of being good.

-7.0 9-0 SU; 6-1-2 ATS

-7.5 2-1 SU; 1-2 ATS

-8.0 4-1 SU; 2-3 ATS

15-2 SU (88%)

Bucs look terrible too though. Played Saints tough but it was on a wet track

I certainly wouldn't lay the 7.5 but I'm comfortable enough they can win

We can't always make the same though so good luck

He went from a local radio show...to a national show and a daily TV show. I tend to like people looking at situations from a different perspective....but maybe i'm in the minority.

In general, sports radio makes me stabby. Lots of horrible guys on the airwaves out there, and the callers are even worse.

This is coming off like i'm invested in the show or something...but have you listened to his show? He typically doesn't take callers...unless it's something like this:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7bTi3ki61MI

His television show is drastically different than the radio show. Again, not trying to advocate. Just works for me.

 

[Aaron Rudnicki]

LeBatard has been a national media presence for a long time now. If he has a different persona on the radio then he does on tv, good for him but no I haven't listened. I gave up on sports radio for the most part. The only reason to listen to Cowherd is b/c he at least covers sports wagering.

 

[Raider Nation]

The only reason to listen to Cowherd is b/c he THE GAMBLING EXPERTS HE SECRETLY CONSULTS WITH at least covers sports wagering.
