$50

$50
Jets -2 over Dolphins

$20 7 team parlay (all money line)

Ravens over Bengals
Cowboys over Chiefs
Giants over Raiders
Steelers over Lions
Vikings over Rams
Pats over Broncos
Colts over Titans

$20 4 team parlay

Vikings -9.5 over Rams
Bengals +8.5 over Ravens
Colts -3 (bought half a point) over Titans
Jets -2 over Dolphins

That's really good. You got everything but the 7-team parlay.
If the Jets win you'd have had a great weekend!

The most depressing lost in a long time was my two bill play on the Cheifs Cowboys under 44 yesterday

[GirlySports]

OUCH!

I think you need a hug. Or a beer.

[flames_1987]

Another horribly painful loss today had the under in the first half between the Jets and Dolphins 17.5. Looks like it's going to stay under but the Jets fake the punt and kick that field goal to push it over by 2.5 points

[flames_1987]

And to top off the weekend in style..I had the Rockies to beat the Philly

[rubecube]

Picked the Eagles to cover 14 against Oakland this past weekend. Screw you, Andy Reid!

[rubecube]

I have the Broncos to win straight up tonight. It's a +147 bet. Awesome.

[rubecube]

Made a solid money line bet today at +190.

Falcons over Cowboys.

[flames_1987]

Everyone was on the Chargers last night, felt great to cash that Broncos ticket. had the over of 8.5 in the Dodgers game too and man was that one hell of a way to win.

I like the Angels again tonight and am all over that Falcons plus 4 at Dallas along with Arizona plus 7 at New York

[rubecube]

Well, along with my Atlanta pick, I have my obligatory parlays (a.k.a the only reason I haven't made more this year).

8-team parlay ($10 to win $588.12)

Chargers over Chiefs
Colts over Rams
Bengals over Bears
Vikings over Steelers
Jets over Raiders
Saints over Dolphins
Falcons over Cowboys
Giants over Cardinals

4-team parlay ($20 to win $260)

Chargers -4.5 over Chiefs
Colts -13 over Rams
Vikings +4.5 over Steelers
Falcons +4 over Cowboys

As you can tell, I really like the Vikings and Falcons this week. I may also put another straight bet on the Colts covering against the Rams, but I hate spreads like that on the road.

Sleeper of the week: I like the Browns to upset the Packers at home, or at least beat the 9-point spread. It's a good money line bet at +325 or against the spread at -110.

Had a good night tonight. Won $112 on 5 dollar bet on sports select on this ticket:

Rangers
Habs
Hawks
Leafs (i know, i know, call me crazy)
Eagles plus the over ( kinda got nerve racking at the end. needed 38 points and there was 37 scored in the first half and if it werent for a last minute TD by the Redskins i woulda got screwed! )

anywho pretty happy since i havent won anything for awhile.

Look at some of the lines for this week in the NFL.

Colts -11 against the Niners.

Cowboys -9 1/2 against the Seahawks.

Bears -13 1/2 against the Browns.

Chargers - 16 1/2 against the Raiders

Cardinals -9 against the Panthers

Saints -8 1/2 against teh Falcons.

Yikes...some really big spreads there.

Last week was one of the worst ever for bookmakers in Vegas:

http://www.lvrj.com/sports/rancid-te...-65968977.html

The bottom line from Week 7 in the NFL: It was the best Sunday to be a bettor, and the worst Sunday to be a bookmaker.

''I can't remember an NFL season with this many bad teams,'' said Las Vegas Hilton sports book director Jay Kornegay, who has been in the business for 22 years. "No doubt, it was the worst day ever for the books.

''We can't attract money on these poor teams. We keep losing on the same teams. They are not even close to covering.''

''These are things you don't hear in a sports book: What's that (betting) number on the Rams? Hey, I love the Buccaneers.''

Kornegay said more than 90 percent of the straight bets made at the Hilton on the Colts-Rams game were on the Colts.

The bookmakers and oddsmakers need to ''aggressively adjust'' the numbers, Kornegay said, so we might soon be seeing 17- or 20-point favorites in the NFL.

[flames_1987]

Definitely going to be some adjusted lines in the coming weeks! Should be very interesting, could get some great value with some dogs.

If the Seahawks are healthy for the most part I'd love to buy them up to 10 coming off a bye week vs Tony Romo.

[rubecube]

I made two very rash bets earlier this week. I have the Colts -11.5 and Dallas -9.5 at home. I don't like either of those bets as much as I did when I made them.

I like the following bets:

Miami +3.5
Minnesota +3
Oakland +16.5
Philadelphia +1 or Money Line
Jacksonville +3 or Money Line
Houston -3.5

[rubecube]

Put my parlays in today. Also realized that I never put money on the Colts game like I originally thought. I actually put $50 on the Vikings +3.

A giant **** YOU to the Jags and Cards this weekend.

[rubecube]

Also put $40 on the under tonight (55), and $75 on the Packers to cover 9.5 against the Bucs next weekend.
