    I was 1/5 betting this week and I'm like 3/15 in my last picks so I'm done for a few weeks. I've clearly lost my touch.

    It definitely goes in swings. Using a small bet strategy similar to others here, where I'd bet at most at one time maybe $20 or $30 (with the occasional $75 bet sprinkled in), I was up almost $500 last college basketball season. Then once I started to believe my own hype, I began throwing money around like I was Jimmy The Greek. After I began my $100 and $200 bets, I ended the season $300 down, culminating in that humiliating Michigan loss at the hands of Penn State.

    I like Oakland over Philly today

    NFL Lines I like today...

    Minny +10.5
    Cleveland +3
    Kansas City -3.5
    Tampa Bay +16.5
    Washington ML

    Ill probably lay money on 3 of those.

    Yeah, I rarely go against a home dog, especially if its over a score (ie, more than 3 so the winning team isnt in score mode if they are up a FG). But this one is probably a pretty good bet. Lewis had me worried, Tuel a lot less.

    I've got 25 on each of these today- Cowboys -10.5, Chiefs -3.5, and Titans -3. I also put 25 on the Browns straight up.
  • SportsAndLady
    Parlay right now:

    Cowboys -10 (eek)
    Falcons +8
    Rams straight up
    Chargers straight up
    Chiefs -5.5

    helpful tip- never pick the cowboys to beat the spread when they are favorites.

    Ill jinx my own bet with this post, but oh well.

    I believe they are the worst HOME favorite ATS in the last 8 years in the NFL.

    Helpful tip Cowboys are 7-1 against the spread this year and in their 4 wins this year they have won by 5, 24, 15, and 14.

  • Laley23
    • The Cowboys are 2-7 ATS in their last nine home games against losing teams
    • At home in 2012, Cowboys were 1-7-0 ATS
    • At home in 2011, Cowboys were 3-4-1 ATS
    • Dallas is 5-10-0 in their last 15 games at home ATS
    They are having a good half season, ATS...but history shows not to trust them. Minny was the correct pick today by Pick6.
  • Iliketurtles
    Lol not over yet... I'd love a Ponder pick 6 right about now. But overall I'm happy the Cowboys should pull out a win.

    Semi-related.

    Will the Chiefs be the biggest underdogs ever for a team unbeaten, (especially this late in the year), in 2 weeks vs. Denver???

    Yes. I see them being 6-7.5 point underdogs.

    First game is at denver I believe then 2 weeks later they are in KC.
  • Laley23
    ok. Ill go with 6.5 and it will be bet up to 7.5. Ill be taking Denver, either way.

    Yeah I most likely will be as well. Alex Smith can't throw the ball down field and that is the way to beat/stay with the Broncos.

    If you took the Bucs at +16.5 looking pretty good so far lol.

    I usually do 3 early games and then if I am up do late game. This week, as you see from my post, I liked 2 of the late games. Of course, I was 2-0 when the late games started cause damn WAS/SD went OT. So I took all 5 of those bets I posted lol. 3/3 so far at least.

    Haha nice man. I should have taken the Bucs +16.5 but just couldn't do it. I think you'll finish 5/5 on the day.
