Is there any logic to betting on the NFL when a game like this occurs?
I actually took Dallas on the money line and won but that was ridiculous.

Yesterday I lost the Raiders who blew a 13 point lead and lost on a 70 yard bomb. And I drew San Diego (-3) who also blew a 13 point lead and barely held on to win by 3. I won Indy.. that's easy enough

I feel I'm just flipping a coin most games, it's so unpredictable.

Sometimes there is little to no logic involved, the trick is to avoid games like last night's. People will play it because it's the only game on, but real gamblers would have avoided that mess. Looks like the majority of prime time games this year have been real clunkers.

Just bet the Pats every game and you will do fine.

i've completely stopped betting on football, it's so out of control ridiculous. you can lose tons of money on "sure things" and it all seems so random i don't want anything to do with it.

I picked the pats a few times this year and won.. and also picked them to lose to Pittsburgh. I thought about it this week.. but -11 on the road.. scary.
I've picked Indy the last 3 weeks

Seattle has shown no heart. There defesne has screwed their offense all year. Looks like Holmgren might not be back.

Seems like the same pattern from St. Louis, huh?
