I hope you win your pool, but talk about doing it the hard way. I was wondering if you were keeping it together when they blew that fumble dead.

I quit watching at half. Write it off. Checked and saw within 2 scores and knew it was headed for a tie at some point and started watching again. My expectation was Cousins would give it away after coming all the way back, but what a strange game.

Well if I have this correct you are the sole winner on that. Congrats, that's a decent little payout. Might have to buy yourself a K.J. Osborne jersey as a peace offering to the Football gods.

Hahaha I just may buy one! Just not a Cousins please.
You are correct, payout all mine.
Biggest one I ever had, by a lot.

I'm almost tempted to bet unders in every single outdoor game on Saturday.

Maybe there's a difference between temps under 40 and temps below 0 F though? Wind chills are nasty right now (-30+here) though not sure about tomorrow - maybe the wind drops

Yeah 40 Fairenheit is 5 Celsius. That's not that cold for us Northerners. Today it's single digits and less in Chicago, Cleveland, Kansas City, and Nashville. Even Charlotte is like -8 or 18 today. When you get under 20 F that's where the ball gets hard and slick and the passing game is impacted.

I wouldn't want to back the under in K.C. vs Seattle. But some of these other games, it's tempting.

do teasers, add 7 to the total and the under might be safer

In games where totals are like 36 or less...those 6 points have a lot of value.

That game in Shreveport came in under 40 yesterday. Well under the total.

I did okay last week.
Hit on
Under in ATL vs BAL
Chargers ML vs Colts
GB +4.0 vs Miami
Bengals -3.0 vs Cinci
3 way Teaser of unders in NO vs CLE, HOU vs TEN, and ATL vs BAL.

Missed on
1/2 unit ML Eagles vs Cowboys
Seahawks +10 vs Chiefs

Should have sprinkled a bit of that teaser bet on a parlay as all three of those came under the number.

Tonight I'll likely go Under for the first half of Cowboys and Titans. I like the Titans to cover the current 13 point spread, and under for the game.

Made it all the way to week 18 in my survivor pool. I'm going with Jags, as a Titans fan it's hard to pick Jags, but no teams left have anything to play for really and at least this way it's a win win sort of.

Been a few line moves over night. Bengals went from -9 to -11. Falcons from -4 to -6 and Broncos from -3 to -4.5.

I think player props might be better bets today if you can find guys who get milestone bonuses.

I took Kirk over 61.5 receiving yards yesterday. Supposedly DeAndre Carter of the Chargers needs 2 receptions to earn a $250,000 bonus which would be big for him. Gerald Everret needs 5 to make that bonus too. So I'd look for bets on guys like that to get to those bonuses.

Bucs were supposedly a public dog, but I suspect not having a losing season is more important to Brady than some think. He's usually played well the last week of the season.

Made a much larger bet than I usually do, putting $100 on
Bills -8
Steelers -2.5
Vikings -1.5
Lions +10.5
DAL/WAS over 41
Payout is $1322
They are currently offering $565.80 cash out.
Probably dumb not to take it but I'm going to let it ride for now
