Any reason not to bet the Giants -1 @ Arizona next week?

That's nine for the week!

[rubecube]

Early lines I like:

NO -7 @ JAX (although I hate taking the Saints on the road, the Jags are brutal)
CHI -6.5 vs CAR
NYG -1 @ ARI
PIT +4 @ HOU
OAK +4.5 vs. NE
BAL -3.5 vs NYJ
DET +2 @ DAL

Pools:

There were 1 winning shares
matching 16 out of 16
for CARD 240
paying prizes of $152790.00 each.

Pro-Line:

Build a card with realistic ties in DET-DAL, TEN-CLE, PIT-HOU, and there will be a big prize.

I'd add WSH/STL and CIN/BUF to that list.

Minnesota at Kansas City looks like a game that ends up 16-13 for either one of them in a game where the QB's continue to suck.

Jets and Ravens is another one that I think could be a 3 point game.

I am a casual Baseball fan at best, and even then I only follow the Jays.

So this post season I really want to cheer for the Diamond Backs to see Hill and McDonald win it all.

Arizona right now is the longest shot on the board at +1600.

Since I know nothing of the NL, does AZ have any chance at all? Is there any reason to be optimistic enough to place $20 at 16-1 in a 8 team tournament?

I'm getting a ticket this week.

combo 4 out of 5 ties for $10

4 ties wins around $250, all 5 ties wins over $1000

[DropIt]

Min-2
SD-7
NE-4.5
Pit+4
Buf-3
NYJ/BAL - Under 42

[rubecube]

Everyone seems to think I'm crazy for going CIN +3 and OAK +4. Am I missing something here? Clear trap game for the Bills and all of the Bills' and Bengals' games this year have been decided by less than a TD. Anyways I bet on every game this weekend with a considerable amount of money, so here's praying for my 9-7 split to come through.

Also, I think the BAL/NYJ game is going over. My picks:

NO -6.5
PIT +4
DET
TEN +1
STL +2 (hate this one)
MIN -1
MIN/KC UNDER 39.5
SEA +4.5
SD -7 (hate this one too)
IND +10
CHI -6.5
NYG -1.5
SF +9
CIN +3
OAK +4.5
BAL -3.5

Also teased CHI -0.5 and SD -0.5.

[troutman]

Bc -5.5
ham -4.5
was -0.5
ten +1.5
buf -3.5
nyg -1.5
mia +7.5

[GirlySports]

I want to bet on the Sabres to win the cup. Can anyone recommend a good site to do so?
