Reel Deal 11-09-09 07:33 PM

No... don't have any $ on a sports book ATM. *slaps forehead*

Spidey44 11-09-09 11:11 PM

Denver over Washington.

Kurn 11-15-09 12:48 PM

Two for this week.

Denver -3 1/2 at Washington

Broncos have underperformed the past couple of weeks. Nothing better to cure that than a game against the 'Skins.

Jets -6 1/2 vs. Jax

Off the bye week knowing they have the Pats next week with the opportunity to gain ground if NE loses to Indy. Sounds good to me.

Reel Deal 11-15-09 09:13 PM

Dude.

Talking Poker 11-16-09 12:21 AM

Is Kurn like 0 for the season? Sure seems that way lately. :)

Kurn 11-16-09 07:28 PM

5-5. proof again why I stopped betting football.

Spidey44 11-16-09 09:03 PM

I was about a minute late getting my Denver pick in...goot!

Kurn 11-22-09 12:06 PM

OK, let's see how bad I can suck this week.

Atl +7 @ NYG

I guess by now the Giants have to prove they can beat somebody decent.

Texans -4 vs. Titans

I still don't believe in Tennessee and Houston should score on their secondary.

Kurn 11-24-09 04:52 AM

And I go 1-1 once again. :mad:

Kurn 11-29-09 11:34 AM

Everybody else seems to have deserted this thread, but I'll keep posting my picks. See if I can win 2this week and improve my 50-50 losing the vig season. :confused:

Cincy -13 1/2 vs Cleveland

I hate giving big numbers, but the Browns and their rat coach just suck, the Bengals have a nothing game next week and should be fired up to atone for the debacle last week at Oakland.

SF -3 vs. Jax

The Jags have won 3 straight vs. two bad teams (KC & Buffalo) and one ostensibly decent team headed in the wrong direction (Jets). I still believe SF is better than their record indicates, they need to win to stay in the playoff hunt with a division game on the road next week. This game is more crucial for the Niners' season than it is for the Jags'.

GTDawg 11-29-09 11:13 PM

Even steven strikes again

JDMcNugent7 11-30-09 09:18 PM

I'm doing good again in sports betting when I don't post my picks, so I'll prob jinx this, but I got NE +2 and under 57

JDMcNugent7 11-30-09 10:14 PM

chasing my losses betting NE-3 2nd half, against the team that scores the most points in 2nd half in all of NFL, maybe not the smartest idea

GTDawg 11-30-09 11:21 PM

yeah, you jinxed yourself

JDMcNugent7 11-30-09 11:31 PM

Never posting another bet here, this thread is rigged obv

MAYHEM45 11-30-09 11:58 PM

lol ship.

JDMcNugent7 12-01-09 03:44 AM

sent ur stupid $

JDMcNugent7 12-01-09 08:45 PM

didnt even realize i won the under 57, seemed too high scoring

UNC -1.5

JDMcNugent7 12-02-09 08:10 PM

3 units on duke -5, 1 on miz +4 just cuz

Kurn 12-06-09 10:14 AM

2 for this week.

SF -1 at Seattle

I continue to view the 49ers as an improving team, and Seattle, similar to the Jags last week, is a team that has looked better than it really is due to their recent opposition.

TB +5 at Carolina

This just looks like a sucker spread to tempt teasers on the Panthers. Thus, I lean the other way.

thrash1294 12-06-09 01:04 PM

1st bet in like 4 weeks

Parlay

No -10
det +13.5
Hou -2
SD -6

Talking Poker 12-07-09 12:12 AM

I went 3-2 this week and the Steelers cost me a big parlay. Stupid Steelers.

Talking Poker 12-13-09 01:01 PM

I bet a few games today, but this one is by far my favorite (so obv avoid it at all costs):

San Diego + 3.5 vs. Dallas

Zybomb 12-13-09 04:29 PM

IMO this is a HUGE trap game as it seems the majority of the $$ would be all on SD (Rivers has never lost a game in Dec as an added fun fact), in addition the spread has actually gone up from 3 to 3.5 (seems illogical since the $ should be goin on SD) ..when this is the case at least 80+% of the time the other team wins. Look for Dallas to cover IMO

Side note I dont bet much these days, but I loved Houston at home vs Seattle -6. The Seahawks are an absolutely atrocious road team and the Texans are better than their record indicates...and I loved the Jets even with Clemens against the awful Bucs these obv worked out

Talking Poker 12-13-09 04:42 PM

If the Titans win (beating the Rams 14-0 early), I'll ship my 8 team parlay this week for a pretty healthy score. :thumbsup:

Talking Poker 12-13-09 07:15 PM

EZ Money. :thumbsup:

Zybomb 12-13-09 08:43 PM

20%. I liked SD too but it seemed like too good a steal...then the line actually moved more in their favor which made no sense -- like i said this is usually the sign of them wanting people to take the chargers and thus they arent going to win. Not foolproof obviously. good game

JDMcNugent7 12-14-09 02:05 AM

it prob was a trap game, when the public is all over one side and the other side still doesn't have great odds that's almost always the case, thing is, even the odds makers are wrong someitmes

JDMcNugent7 12-14-09 08:57 PM

Cardinals -4!

JDMcNugent7 12-15-09 12:08 AM

7 fumbles by the cardinals, really?

Reel Deal 12-15-09 10:45 AM

5 fumbles lost, 2 picks. Pathetic. As I pick games for the last NFL weeks for the pool I'm in, I'm really trying to go with the team that has more to play for... like the 9ers had more to play for last night than the Cards (who despite that effort, will still win the division).

Talking Poker 01-03-10 12:08 PM

I hate Week 17 betting.

So naturally, I placed about 3x as many (small) bets this week as I normally do.
