Won't be touching the Carolina and Detroit game.  Carolina is beat up with teddy and cmc out but the lions Galloway is out and Stafford has a thumb issue which does t ever bode well for quarterbacks.  I bet a wierd play wins this like a pick 6 or a punt return or something wierd.  Seems like a coin flip to me at best.

And I'm in on the Bengals ML today vs Washington, and ML on clevland.  Every nfc east team is awful.  No analysis needed just bet against any team from the east and in the end you should do alright

I've decided to give my prop bets a rest this week, instead going with Washington ml + Browns ml and Patriots ml + Lions ml, both tickets over 3 total odds.

Wentz had zero interceptions and zero lost fumbles vs. Giants last week which is highly uncharacteristic of him, Browns won't have Myles Garrett (covid) but i'm sure they will bring enough pressure against Eagles awful OL.

Stephon Gilmore is available for the Patriots after missing a few games, decent boost for their defense, a good matchup against Fuller/Cooks.

I'm all in on Washington in of my fantasy leagues, Alex Smith, McLaurin, and J.D. McKissic have to all deliver for me, Mixon on IR.

Good combo with great odds for today's matches. 2 weeks ago won 3/3 for Vikings, Texans and Falcons. Today I bet for Browns, Dolphins, Colts, Chiefs. According to stats they are almost stable. GL!

Did you play that in early markets already ? Because it's -3.5 now, which looks about right, but +1 is nice value.

Taking my chances on Atlanta ML today, which is mainly based on what I saw from Winston last week and I was shocked how bad (maybe rusty) he looked. Sean Payton saw this as well, so Hill will be the starter today. I love this guy and all the things he can do, but he is most valuable as the role player he used to be imo. So my guess is, that we will see some good portion of Winston as well. In general the Saints aren't that strong this season, which is also because of Brees getting old. They are doing fine record-wise being 7-2, but there were some games which saw them struggling a lot against mediocre opposition. Falcons have found their rhythm lately and the defense has improved a lot. I think this will be a close one and with a couple of INT's from Winston, I like the odds for the Falcons.

If Bridgewater is out, then I don't see how Carolina will be able to beat the Lions with Grier/Walker while still being CMC-less. Stafford has some thumb injury as well, but he will start. Around 1.80 for Lions atm.

Chargers and Vikings should have no problems in getting the better of Jets/Cowboys, but odds are low.

GB@IND should be a good one, where I see a lot of points being scored, but the line is high. And my bold pick would be the Jags to beat the Steelers, lol.

Who do you guys like for tomorrow? Immediately I like Miami at +1 vs. Denver, might get in on that. Not really that many more interesting games for me on Sunday but on Monday we have Rams vs. Buccaneers. That's gonna be a great game. Of course I have to root for the Rams but I won't be putting in a bet as I've jinxed them 3 of 3 times this season.

That was one game the smart money stayed on the sidelines.

I think I'll go back to rooting for the Raiders while the Pats rebuild for the next decade.

Good game actually from the Seattle defense.  Was quite surprised actually.  Figures I pick the over and its the one game their defense decides to show up lol.

I think that is why we saw all the money come for the Cardinals to cover the +3. I don't like seeing that even if it is because a player is ruled out as the opposite happens more times then not and with the record the Seahawks have at home I still think they were tough to beat.

I ended up betting Seattle at -3.  I was a bit worried since not too long before the game they had rulled Chris Carson out ( speaking of , that guy is a BEAST ) but I figured Carlos Hyde is a pretty solid back-up plan.  He ended up doing pretty well for my fantasy team too.  All and all this bet worked out so I'm a happy man! lol

Cardinals gave that one away, so many dumb penalties throughout the entire game.

-the field goal for Seattle at the end first half was a gift, thanks to ARI player getting injured and stopping the clock SEA +3pts
-safety for holding (that was right after a grounding penalty on Murray) SEA +2pts
-the most ridiculous one was the taunting penalty, instead of a long FG attempt, SEA got a first down, and two plays later a TD SEA +4pts

and there you have it 9pts out of nothing.

Seahawks looked a little bit better with Hyde, they should be getting Carson soon, without a running game (play-action out of it) they are extremely predictable.

I was able to get the UNDER, had another betbuilder bet hit, and one just short, needed Murray to score a rush TD, it's not like they didn't run a play for him at 2nd and 2, but why did he choose to go outside on the play is beyond me, the middle was wide open...anyway, decent start of the week, let's hope we don't get rekt on Sunday again. 

I wanted to bet the game and wanted to wait to bet it a bit closer to Gametime but fell asleep! 
I was on the fence of taking the Seahawks and the Under, which would have both won... 

Oh well I will be sure to place my bets a bit earlier next time! lol 

The Cardinals keep it close but Seahawks defense manage to stop them at the final possession. It felt like the game was about to go in OT when the Cardinals started chipping some yards down bit by bit during the 2 minute mark and after they made it through the Seahawks 20-30 yard line they pulled some weird plays instead of running it down 10 yards more. Also manage to win my bet builder for the first time with the Seahawks money line and Metcalf TD.  

What do you guys think of the Chargers this Sunday is it safe enough to take them in my survivor pool or should I go for another team like the Browns/Vikings as they'll be facing teams in the NFC East.

My bets are Kyler Murray over the 287.5 passing yards and the game to go over 56.5 points. Everything based on the arguments in the thread that this might be a wake up game for the Seahawks and that their defense is pitiful hehehe.

All the money is going on the Cardinals to cover the +3 spread which does worry me a little as we saw the same the other night with the Bears to cover. I know the Cardinals are a better team then the Bears but still its hard to go against the Seahawks at home with the record they have. Its a tough game to bet on tonight but I am leaning towards the Seahawks only because of their home record.

The thing that has me on the fence is that Carson should be back too so thats huge.  He can burn clock when they are up or give a viable run option so the defenses can't play cover 2 otherwise Seattle will burn them with the run.  I might just bet the over and root for both offenses lol.  Now that I think of it thats my play over it is

He didn't look like Wilson the last game but the game before he still threw for 390 yds and 2 TDs.  Last time he faced Arizone he put up 388 yards and 3 TDs..so I think he will "wake up" this game but I'm not sure it's enough to cover the -3 AZ spread, which is exactly how much they lost by last time they faced off in week 7.  They are at home this time however, so that certainly helps some.

Arizona the Public Play today and the way they have been looking not surprised.
I dont like the Seattle Defense and to be honest, R. Wilson has not been looking like R. Wilson the last couple of games. Will he wake up today?

Im still on the fence but probaly give Wilson a chance. Lets hope he wakes up!

Cardinals look to be the obvious and also public choice, which is always a red flag in NFL Looks like SEA finally runs a bit out of gas and are not able to compensate anymore for their weak defense. They have lost 3 of the last 4 and if you look at the H2H, ARZ has been very successful at CenturyLink Field in the last seasons, which comes as a surprise:

All these things considered, these odds for Arizona look huge and they should maybe even be favourite in this one. It's not easy to win at Seattle and they have clean home record this season thus far, but without spectators their stadium is not such a fortress as it used to be. I would never bet on SEA at these odds, but Arizona looks too easy on paper as well. No bet is probably the wisest choice

Who's everyone got for tonights game.  I think i have to take Arizona.  Seattle's defense is just way too pitiful for its offense to overcome for this one.  Think murray runs wild in this one and gets 50-80 yards rushing keeping drives alive.  Its gotta pass runs off somewhat that they can't keep anyone from scoring at will

Honestly as a giant fan im not trying to be a homer but the giants should have beat them in the first game too.  They were an evan engram dropped easy pass from sealing the game.  The Eagles are just as bad as every other team in the NFC East.  I expect the winner of the division to have NO more than 6 wins.  How crazy, 6-10 and hosting a home playoff game against possibly Tampa, rams, new Orleans lol.  Will be a bad playoff game to watch.
