I see what you’re saying. I just put what it said in the box above me. I’ll be honest and admit I don’t know a ton about gambling so I am still like umm I think this means that…yeah that’s my bet. Pats will win by a TD and the lions won’t be blown out, probably still lose but not by more then 2 scores.

For people looking for any real Bets. Bets I took this week: Bucs @ Falcons Prop: Longest TD 36.5 yards O/U. I took the over here. Falcon D is a dumpster fire and the Bucs are loaded with weapons. Not to mention. The Falcons could potentially get a blown coverage of their own with the Bucs being down a starting CB and having good weapons.

Buf -3.5 @ Miami - I actually added a few points on this and took a -6.5 on this to get more value. The Bills will bounce back in a big way and the Dolphins are going to have the breaks not go their way.

I'm also eyeing GB and the Lions, but no bet yet. You just know Rodgers and GB are going to stay pad him hard in this one. There should be some value to get there. I am a big fan of betting on good teams to bounce back after a bad week and bad teams to revert to form. There is probably also a bet to be made on the Texans. But I haven't found it yet. I'd love to buy in now on an O/U for 3.5 wins and take the under for them if I can find it. Week 1 is a fluky week and causes bookies to give out great options in the hopes of an overreaction. For instance, the Steelers. They aren't a good team. They were lucky to go 12-4 last year and will revert. I'll look for something on them too. Love their D but Ben clearly doesn't have it and fluky plays won't save them for long.

Basically, the points are listed next to the home team. So the bets would be (-5.5) on the Pats, (+10.5) on the Lions, and (-3.5) on the Chiefs. I knew what you meant, just wanted to make sure.

So we should just pick the team to win ATS & $$ amount. Your spreadsheet can do the rest, lol.

I'm not disagreeing that Bills probably win this game but you continue to underestimate Flores and the MIA defense.

I don't like talking **** when it comes to gambling. I bet often on football and have been burned in many, many, many twisted, evil, and down right macabre ways. So I will leave it out of here and keep my point simple. Cincy is a good football team, people think same ol' Bungles but they are solid. As long as Burrow stays healthy.

Chiefs (-3.5) $5K
Texans (+12.5) $1K
Pats (-5.5) $2K
Bildos (-3.5) $2K

Oh whoops, how about $3000?

49ers $5,000
Saints $5,000
Chiefs $5,000

Putting $5k on the Redskins (-3.5) tonight.

I figured I'd do a weekly update. This will list my bets each week and my progress.

Notes: I'm not suggesting you bet on these bets. This is NOT gambling advice. If you do so you do it at your own risk. I'm not promoting any type of gambling.

So with that out of the way, I decided to put in 200 dollars to play with, and will not be putting in any more. At the end of the year I will see where I stand.

Last week: 1/2 - Lost a bet of OJ Howard for over 17.5 yards. Won a bet of Tua throwing over .5 Ints. Currently at 197.39. So I went lite on week 1. I don't like weeks 1s to bet on much.

This week:
Falcons @ Bucs: Longest touchdown yardagw (run or pass) 36.5 O/U (took over), Tom Brady total pass yards 310.5 O/U (took over),
Patriots @ Jets: Mac Jones Longest pass 36.5 O/U (took over), Total 3rd down conversions 9.5 O/U (took over)
Bills -7.5 (alternative spread) @ Miami (took the Bills, pay out 1:2.75)
Raiders @ Steelers (took the Raiders, pay out 1;3.1)
Texans @ Browns: 47.5 O/U (took over)
Chiefs @ Ravens: Mahomes 2.5 TDs O/U (took over)

Favorite bet of the week: Brady over 310.5 yards. To me that one is pretty easy money and i put the most on it, at 20 (about 10% of pay roll)

Will let you know how things did next week. Hopefully one or both of my bigger payouts hits and I can do really well!

49ers - 3.5 - 500
LV +5.5 - 500
LAR - 4 - 500
KC - 3.5 - 500
Minne + 4.5 - 500
