My 20 dollar proline ticket will be..

Ohio St to beat Northwestern
Penguins to beat the Sabres
Blues to beat the Panthers
Packers to beat the Lions
Chiefs to beat the Titans
Broncos to beat the Cowboys

That would return $282.20

I am also going to make up 4 different $5 tickets of varying combinations of the same games as a bit of a fallback.

So far so good....and won back 15.75 on a 5 dollar ticket using the first 3 games. Alive on 2 others as well.

Ohio St had me wondering for a bit...and just as an aside they were 6.5 favorites, and led by 4 with 2 seconds left. NW tried the old hook and ladder from their own 8 yd line....fumbled it into the endzone...OS recoverd to cover the spread. Unbelievable. Someone somewhere is REALLY pissed right now no doubt...and someone somewhere else is equally happy.

Just need Denver to win for the one decent cash, and i am very much alive on my pools ticket...have AZ/Carolina boxed, need Denver, Atl and SD to win and i get a piece of that too.

Never thought Den was gonna screw me out of a decent chunk of change.

[transplant99]

1 freaking point...and that was covered until the cowboys decided to stop moreno instead of letting him score to get the ball back.

oh how i loathe them

[return to the red]

Stupid Chargers, that's all I have to say about that.

[Swayze11]

Played 2 tickets this weekend.

(All money line)
DEN (in game when they were down 14-0), ARZ (in game when they were down 6-3)

DEN, ARZ, ATL

would be nice to get back into the green after a few bad weeks.

[transplant99]

Moneyline for Den/Jax

-$8000
+$4000

[rubecube]

Another above .500 week but ended up on the losing side because I double-down on Denver.

WEEK 6 picks:

CHI -9.5
NYJ -2.5
PHI -2.5
CIN -6
ARI +11
NO +1
DAL -5

[transplant99]

ugly week of games....yeesh.

played a 20 dollar proline taking 5 road teams

philly, gb, det, pitt, and new orleans

good for 1206.20 if it comes through...then i played 1 5 dollar pool ticket because there are so many games i wanted to box.

i will be 25 dollars lighter after the day, but always worth the shot.

[Sylvanfan]

I know that trends can be useless, but I think Oakland have won 6 straight at Arrowhead. So a moneyline play on the Raiders might be worth the shot.

Just did a quick Calculation for my betting so far

September I went kind of nuts and tried betting on some weird stuff

Overall record for September
7-12-1

ML 3-3 Spread 3-5-1 O/U 1-0 Parlay 0-4

October so far
7-3

ML 2-1 Spread 3-1 Teaser 2-1

I need to stay away from the Parlays or don't do my pools ticket every week and just pick the 4 or 5 best games and see what i can do with that

[rubecube]

Well week 6 was a bit of a mess. Let's see if I can rebound in week 7.

NE -3.5
PHI -3
CIN ML
CHI ML
KC -6.5
TEN +3.5
DEN -6
MIN +3.5

[DropIt]

Took
NE - 4
Cle +10
NYG -3.5
ATL -7

I would be all over that as well if I could do so...but i never bet against my teams.

I dont understand that line whatsoever actually.

Cobb is out, Jones doubtful, Starks is out.

On defense they are down 3 CB/S and have only 2 healthy OLB's...in fact Capers is talking about switching from a 3-4 to a 4-3 this game.

GB at home and rodgers may be enough to get a win...but that kind of point spread seems ridiculous to me, as i wouldnt be shocked in any way if they flat out lose this one.

I have only a two word response to this: Brandon Weeden.

[rubecube]

Yikes.

[return to the red]

Had a decent weekend this week taking Both the Jets and Colts ML

For some reason I thought TB and STL might show up but I should have known better. Too bad I parlayed the wrong games :/
