I'd like to see FitzMagic, Cam is a loser at least Fitz makes things interesting. We need to trade for him Lol.


I gotta say this was the most dumbfounding game I have seen in as long as I can remember!
I can find zero logic in what happened in that *cough game.

Hehe, fans tend to overreact, in a positive and negative way If everything goes normal, the Pats will win this. With all the issues they have, they are still the better team, but who is not when compared to the mighty Jets What I do think though, is that the Jets odds are valuable. 4.60-ish is too high for this divisional matchup with two struggling teams. The Jets can afford a win looking at the draft, because they are the only winless team so far; Jags have 1 win, the rest already 2 at least. This is a prime time game and Jets will be pumped to win this - if just being pumped is enough to win this, is yet to be seen, but they will try and they will be competitive me thinks. They can keep on losing tanking afterwards again, but this is their personal SuperBowl today. So I am putting some money on the Jets as well


If someone told me before that the Saints will score 38 points, but my over 51 will lose, I would have called him crazy Just a single FG in the last minutes of the game for the Bucs is really pathetic. As I said before, the NFC is weak/unpredictable this year and this could help TB in the PO, but a really good team doesn't lose 3-38 at home no matter the opponent. Lets see, how the Panthers will do against them next week, odds above 3.00 look huge after yesterdays performance.

Just for fun I'm going to take the Jets at the ML @4.50 as I think that they have a shot at causing a upset tonight. I do think that they will cover the spread at +10.5 and on some books its +10. Don't tail me as its just for fun at the ML for the Jets, good luck to the ones having a bet.

Everyone got their bets in for the Toilet Bowl?

Should be the Jets only* win this year!

*they do get another try at the Pats wk17

This just shows how difficult it is to predict NFL games, the Steelers despite having a 8-0 record are looking more vulnerable with each passing week, I could understood if they had problems if Dak was the QB but they were facing the 4th QB of the Cowboys, it should have been an easy game and yet it came down to the last play to know I they would hold the advantage.

And the Sunday night game between the Saints and the Buccaneers was a complete disappointment, it is very rare for me to stop watching a NFL game but after half I knew the game was over and decided to watch something else.

What a crazy game day...

Steelers were looking like a mess.. yes they won but come on, its the Cowboys?
They looked sloppy and Big Ben called them the "worlds Team" after the game, dude really?

I fell for that -14 Line, ouch.

Back to my Dolphins, #tuatime.
It was nice to see that he had a 180° turn and he showed what he can do.
I see a bright future if our Line can protect him!

Colts had a shitfit, at the beginning of the 4th quarter, they had 1yard Offense in the 2nd half... like really?

I just watched one game this week and it was this one. I have to cheer for Hawaii people when they hit the NFL because it doesn't happen too often. Tagovailoa had a great game - great passes, great rushes - for the moment it looks like he can do it all. Need a new QB to cheer for that Marcus Mariota has been moved to a 2nd string position. It's the first time I actively cheered for Miami in a long time.

I made a big mistake. Yahoo Sports app had Jimmy Garoppolo listed as part of the line up. I was shocked to see it was a different quarterback after making the bet and began watching the game hehehe.

In any case, Josh Allen MVP!

Didn't find anything worth posting for today, though I had some bets. Played the over 51 for SNF, but wouldn't recommend to follow, but for me this 3-4 points too low. ML odds look ok on paper, though I have the feeling Saints might win this in the end.

Watched the Chargers game today and I am getting more and more a fan of Herbert. I really like the way he plays and I think he will be(-come) a very good NFL QB. Still needs some polish, but it's amazing what he is doing as a rookie and I always have a good feeling when he is throwing. Not that my feeling matters (), but for me this is somehow important when judging a QB, lol.

Tua did very well overall today too, it was an improvement from last week imo. I don't know how the Dolpins won that game, because ARZ was playing well, but they did it. All those missed 4th downs probably made the difference. And the defense scoring a TD always helps a bit of course. Dolphins are on a pretty good streak and it's no fluke I think. Next week we will see Tua vs Herbert then.


Around half-time for this season and I was checking my outright o/u bets.

Cardinals 5-3: They will still play Patriots, 2x Rams, Giants, 49ers, Eagles, so I am optimistic for 3 more wins.
Bills 7-2: Looking good, 3 more wins needed, which they should get @49ers, vs Chargers and vs Dolphins. They will only play one more top team with the Steelers.
Carolina 3-6: Carolina suprised me this season. Even without CMC they were doing good and they seem to get stronger and stronger. With Broncos, Lions and Washington still on the menu, they could get to 6. The other games are: Packers, Bucs, Saints and Vikings.
Raiders 5-3: Only top team they still have to play are the Chiefs, so they should be able to get 3 more.
Vikings 3-5: This is nearly impossible and 99% lost, overrated them.
Patriots 2-5: They would have to win 7 of the remaining 9 to make this a push, very unlikely with all the personnel trouble the Pats have.
Giants 2-7: I see only one remaining game (Cowboys in week 17) with a realistic chance for a W. Losing this bet serves me right for being a blind fanboy

Looks like I will make a small profit with these, but you never know until week17 of course

I am currently watching the Ravens vs Colts game and despite being 7-10 the Colts were dominating the game on the first half but the fumble returned for a TD became at least a 10 point swing, also I could not stop laughing when Rivers was trying to make a tackle and fell down on his own, lets see if the Colts do not end up lamenting not putting away the game while they could.

Also what do you think of the NFL contingency plan for the playoffs in the case not all games can be disputed? They are considering the possibility of expanding from 7 to 8 teams per conference and changing the seeding format by winning percentage.

Yes, from what I recall they were missing their starting players mainly the wide receivers as morvillz mentioned and their QB. Thankfully that match went as expected and smoothly for the Packers.

I'm also taking the Texans even though they had one of the toughest schedule facing the Ravens, Chiefs, Packers and Steelers they still look decent.

Here's my three team parlay (Chiefs, Ravens, Texans). Ravens is the only match that could go both ways but I think they have the edge against the Colts.

Edit: Chiefs and Texans made me sweat a little bit at the end there but the parlay hits.  

I have one too many tickets for today but will share just two (will update my losing record at the end of the day )

Watson 2+ pass TDs + J.Robinson 55+ rush yards + D.Johnson 55+ rush yards + Texans ml total odds 3.10
Watson has been playing well despite the losing record, Jags defense is awful and they will start Jake Luton at QB.

M.Jones 40+ receiving yards + D.Cook 75+ rush yards + D.Cook Anytime score total odds 2.40
Stafford should play but they will be without Golladay which means more targets towards M.Jones and Marvin Hall, D.Cook pick does not need an explanation.

I will kick off my Sunday football with the Ravens/Colts game, which should be a good one. Ravens and Lamar i expect to bounce back and win, Colts on the other hand, have a decent record @5-2 but they haven't faced tough opponents so far, so i will give BAL an edge today.

Wow, big game later today Saints @ Tampa, what are your thoughts on this one, who wins?
Saints get back M.Thomas and Sanders, Bucs will have Godwin back, and A.Brown should make a debut.
I think that's a matchup that can't disappoint!

Couple of safe bets for today:

Minnesota Vikings - Detroit Lions: My bet
Jacksonville Jaguars - Houston Texans: My bet
Atlanta Falcons - Denver Broncos: My bet

Won 2/3 last time. Lost Tennesee bet last week, will avoid them today. What do you think about these bets? GL!

@ralle14. Are the injuries from very important players? Also, Aaron Rodgers usually does not have a good performance everytime the game is on the road according to some tipsters hehehe.

I speculate this game should only be -3 for Greenbay. I am only a casual fan, however hehe.

NFC Championship game rematch, well sorta, 49ers are missing so many players from that game...it's not even close.
Mullens did okay last week for the time he was on the field, not sure what to expect from him today though. 49ers basically have no receivers for this match, it will be tough for him, i remember he was benched for C.J. Beathard (vs Eagles) after 2 interceptions.

Here's what i got:

D.Adams Anytime score + Packers ml total odds 1.85 won
Valdes-Scantling 15+ receiving yards + McKinnon 20+ receiving yards total odds 2.10 lost
Tonyan 20+ receiving yards + Packers ml total odds 1.75 lost
extra bet that i had: Packers O2.5 TD + U53.5 total points + 1+ sacks total odds 2.63 won


They are getting Aaron Jones back, so i guess this should help balance their offense but their problems are on defense, last 3 games Packers have allowed 28.7 pts to their opponents, even against injury-riddled SF team it might be tough to cover the spread. Anyway, gl...i won't mind if D.Adams finishes with 3TDs and 150+ yards

edit; Packers probably haven't had an easier game than this one. Richie James, Dwelley, Cracraft, Hasty, Trent Taylor, i mean gl with those players going forward.
I needed one more fucking screen play for McKinnon (4yards short). I thought 49ers defense will bring pressure to A.Rodgers and force him to look for short/medium passes (Tonyan), instead he had every deep ball he wanted.

The Packers killed my parlay last week but i'll back them once more to cover the spread(-6.5). The 49ers put up a decent score against the Seahawks last week but I think that's more on the Seahawks defense giving up a lot of points like they usually do. The Packers lost as well but I think they still win by a touchdown or more since the 49ers are missing a few of their players.

Oh no you didn't! LOL.  Yeah could easily end up that way.  Giants defense has actually been surprisingly good.  Most of the time its the Giants offense that can't get out of its own way.  I like the Giants ML on this with the added odds.  Let me know if you are interested in a friendly bet Ginats +3

This is going to be a close game, but I think Washington pulls it off this week.  As we know the Giants only won by 1 point last time.  I think the emergence/continued acclimation of the league of Antonio Gibson might push them over the top this time.  Plus they are in Washington D.C.  I am taking Washington at -3.

Looking at the Giants to win this week.  They have played some close games and the redskins are just as bad as the Giants.  Giants 27-18 they win by 2 scores! Lol

It was looking great during the first half he was only 100 yards in then it got very close during the 4th quarter I really thought the Bucs defense will clutch it out in the final minutes but Jones did some clutch plays to seal the deal. 

Another close loss but at least the Bucs got the game winning stop on that 2pt conversion saving my survivor pick.
