[Brady_to_Moss]

124 to win 77 on Dallas ML hoping to middle

I bet Dallas and O 49 as my bailout for my awful week. At least would get me back to $160

AND Of course...after the first half on pace for 10000 points...and the under hits....just my weekend

Jets present good value tonight in my opinion. I’m not shy against betting my own teams. I bet the eagles in SB 52. If the pats blow them out oh well I won’t be made. If the jets win, oh well, atleast I’ll win and we’re still in first place in the conference

sorry Fnord

on second thought I might just not bet. I’m not sure yet

 

[Brady_to_Moss]

Meyers to get the first TD of the game +1600

Digging deep now boys

I tend to lean towards your line of thinking in the sense that it may be a closer game, or points may be at a premium, or both. I did a nice little player prop on James White going over +5.5 receptions, but not for much.

I actually had the NYJ +13.5 (-150), but decided to cash out before the game started.

I ended grabbing the jets when the line moved from 9.5 to 10 to 57.50 to win 50

you don’t get rich betting against the patriots

actually like taking a long shot in a game like this. I’m Not betting first TD tonight

 

[Brady_to_Moss]

Jets should have been +20 tonight

 

[A Defiant Goose]

Pats went 17-0 and I slammed $130 on Pats -28.5. also put $10 on the under 38.5. solid ****ing rebound night tonight

The Pats winning tonight just completed my $12 parlay for $135. What a time to be alive.

 

[supafly]

Well, I’m glad that I cashed out of +13.5 and changed it to White catching 5.5 balls. Almost a big mistake, there.

[A Defiant Goose]

Yup. I can only "confidently" bet on NE. Virginia tech too.

 

[Brady_to_Moss]

I am hammering the Pats no matter the line on Sunday. Until they fail me. I will keep riding it

I got in 2 games late into the season which, IIRC, the Patriots covered. I'm jealous if you've been betting them all along because they've covered 5 out of 7 times I believe.

Nats plus 180 tonight is strong value in my opinion. Even agaisnt Cole. I’ll take scherzer +180 all day everyday and twice on Sunday

There are going to be some good value underdogs, no doubt about it. Of course, we still have to pick the right side.

Taking Scherzer +175 sounds good in theory, until Cole comes out and whiffs 9 through the first four innings. I don’t believe the Astros have lost during a Cole start since mid-July, for what it’s worth.

In keeping with my recent pattern, I’m going to take a small shot with Scherzer and the Nats tonight, but I’m not exactly thrilled about it. The problem is that this is the only real play unless you want to lay off entirely, and that can be a slippery slope. What do you do tomorrow if HOU wins tonight? Do you come back with Strasburg against Verlander?

I think my point is that unless WAS wins at least three games, it may be hard to see a profit in this situation. As tempted as I am to take a few shots with WAS, I’m just as tempted to make a series bet giving the -230 with HOU. It’s quite the conundrum.

I don’t like betting baseball too much so I’m only doing Nats ML to win 100
