Only bet I've made so far is $50 on the Broncos to win the Superbowl outright at 19/1 and I missed last weeks games camping but I'll be ramping that up going forward.

Great idea on the thread, looking forward to the results.
Never played there, but the lines look pretty similar to Pinnacle. You pay slightly less juice at Pinnacle but it's a very small difference.

Yeah, Im not one to follow past trends, but these two teams NEVER light it up when they play each other.

They usually miss pretty big too

Alright, here are my picks for this week:

CHI @ GB -5.5 1 UNIT = WIN

NO ML @ CAR 1 UNIT = LOSS

TB +7.5 @ NYG 1 UNIT = WIN

WSH @ STL +3.5 1 UNIT = WIN

DET +7 @ SF 1 UNIT = LOSS

DEN +3 @ ATL 1 UNIT = LOSS

Cheated a little bit this week and took an extra morning game instead of an afternoon game. I just didn't see any value in the afternoon games. The lines were priced too high. May still take one of the Chargers or Jets, but I need to see a better price point.

TOTAL = $66.74 to win $60

Week 1 record: 2-6 -4 UNITS

Week 2 record (in progress): 1-0 +1 UNIT

Cashflow: -$33.89

Changed my mind. I'm grabbing the Rams at home this week. I think the Skins are overvalued at 3.5. Rams' defense is feisty.

I was contemplating the same thing. The Dallas V Sea and Was V STL seem like total trap games to me with long travel and favorites on the road against a good defense.

HOU -7.5 @ JAK
STL +3 vs WAS
DET +7 @ SF
DEN - ML (+150) @ ATL

$5 pays $82.10

Seattle was clearly the easiest line this week.

Dallas are frauds like usual.

Yeah, I should've known. The under still looks good, too. Can't believe I talked myself out of these bets.

Hard to say.. I was right about Bills and Seahawks.

But my theory on the Jets is a bit wonky right now.. down by 10.

Decent bounce back week for me. Still need a win tomorrow night to come out ahead. Almost got a shot to middle ATL at -2.5 but didn't get my bet down in time. Got in on the Ravens -3 early for next week because the price was great (+103).

Damn Broncos. 3-3 week, which pretty well means this month is a loss unless I can run the table the next two weeks (not happening). I think I'll just start editing the first post to keep track of my overall record.

i got totally different games rube

NFL week 3, lots of good road teams, lots of home dogs. Which means you'll get good teams at decent spreads. If you're ever going to play a bunch of favorites, this may be your week. Important to know which road favs are truly talent mismatches.
DET -3 @ TEN
ATL +3 @ SD (best line ever!)
SF -7 @ MIN
GB is better than SEA, but I'd stay the F away from that game in SEA on a monday night.

KC is a mess, but +9 to NO may be too much for the Saints to cover. They are also a mess. Public is overreacting here. NO may cover, but they still aren't worth this week's biggest pointspread.
TB +7.5 @ DAL
STL +8 @ CHI
Both STL and TB are still better than the public yet realizes.

The only home dog I'd really back this week is ARZ +4 vs PHI.

I wouldn't take the Chiefs with 25 points to beat the Saints. The Saints are ticked, and they'll cover 53 points against the Chiefs themselves. At the minimum NO is putting up 48 on the KC defence.

I like the Niners to cover. So far the Vikings have played Jax and Indy. Frisco will be at an entirely different level.

I played the "pool" on WCLC this last weekend for the first time...

I missed on two games. If NE had hit the field goal or Baltimore had held on against Phi, Id of cashed as the winning tickets had one wrong... 3700+ dollars on a 15$ ticket went wide left.

Ouch.

Past that though i did very well on my online bets...really good weekend but this week looks a lot less easier to find some comfortable bets.

I think this week is scary as hell line wise.

I like the Jets and the Steelers to cover on the road, and the Chargers at home. Other than that, I'm not sure I'd be comfortable with any other games.

im sure those tickets had NE as well so it would have been a huge split.
