  Favorite - Underdog (Home in CAPS)
  
  CHICAGO - Green Bay 1.5
  INDY - Tenn 7.5
  BALT - Carolina 3.5
  SF - Philly 4.5
  Atlanta - MINN 3.5
  New Orleans - DALLAS 3.5
  New England - KC 4.5
  
  Ill end up throwing money on 4 of them, maybe 5 since I like way more lines than usual (usually I am debating between 5 to pick 4, this week I obviously see 7 good ones, so might pick 5 instead of just 4)

  Really like Tennessee and Minnesota this week. Both way too obvious of picks. Same goes for the Bears. All huge public sides (that being Indy, ATL and CHI).
  
  Look ahead lines before the games last week had Minnesota -3. Don't care how good ATL looked at home vs the Bucs and how the Vikings looked on the road at NO. A 6 point swing doesn't happen overnight. It's all public perception. Doesn't mean ATL doesn't win/cover but great value on the Vikings IMO. Definitely a plus expected value play for me.

  I have no faith that Teddy Bridgewater can keep up with Atlanta in his 1st start.

  That's what they are banking on. Minnesota defense held up pretty well on the road NO....One of the toughest places to play. Also held a St. Louis team to 3. A team that has a road win and scored 31 vs Dallas.
  
  Ugly loss during a high distraction week with the AD saga vs a Pats team that is simply incredible SU and ATS coming off a loss with Brady and the Hoodie.
  
  Atlanta isn't as good as they looked last week and Minnesota is better then they are getting credit for.
• Iliketurtles

  

  I put $25 on Indy, ATL, and Dallas spreads then I have $25 on the Cowboys to win straight up. I also put $50 on the over 46 for tonights game.
  
  
  I'll probably end up doing some stupid 6 point teaser with like 10 teams.
• Laley23

  

  Thoughts on tonight?
  
  Washington -3 is tempting. I think their rush defense is tremendous and NYG will be hard pressed to move it consistently with Eli having to throw it.
• SportsAndLady

  

  Yep skins -3
• Laley23

  

  Took Skins -3
  
  Also took a prop bet. Niles Paul to score 1st TD at +900
• TBone14

  

  If this game was on Sunday...I might go Giants. But I have taken every home team and the over in all the Thursday games so far and are cleaning up except for the Steelers Ravens total.
  
  So I'm on the Skins and the over.

  Damn laley so close to a td for Paul but he let up!

  I know. Fucking idiot had a step even after slowing down. That wouldve been inside the 10 for sure, probably a TD.
• Laley23

  

  Well this game is pissing me off.

  Ain't got shit on Money May. I would never lose 10 grand betting against Urb after a bye but good luck. I won't be touching this one. 23-3 in his career off a bye.
• Laley23

  

  Redskins look awful defensively. Like they expected to roll the Giants.

  They haven't looked good defensively save for a game vs the Jags. Cousins found a rhythm last drive. They get it after half too. Big drive here.

  Their run defense is tops in the league, so that has definitely been good.
  
  It also doesnt help that they make retarded penalties.
• TBone14

  

  Hoping for a split tonight it seems. Over looks good. There have been some big 2nd half comeback this year so why not the Skins tonight.
• Iliketurtles

  

  I didn't bet it but I should have. I took the Giants in pigskin pickem lol. Looking good on that over 46 bet though.
• gport_tennis

  All the guys in the office told me I was lucky RG3 hot hurt, that was our good QB will play... That should shut that up
• Iliketurtles

  

  So I woke up this morning to more money in my account... I guess on Thursday I did some betting on the Alouettes/Redblacks CFL game and actually won. Decided to do some 10 point teasers in CFB and NFL for this weekend will probably do more if these win.
  
  Penn St -1, Tennessee +29, Vandy +27 - $48 to win $40
  Cincy +27.5, Clemson -5, Texas -2 - $36 to win $30
  Falcons +7, Colts +2, Packers +8 - $48 to win $40
  
  Also did a 6 point teaser $11.50 to win $750
  Falcons +3, Bills/Texans over 35.5, Panthers +9, Lions +4.5, Packers +4, Jags +19.5, Dolphins +1.5, Pats +2.5, Cowboys +9, Giants +9.5, Eagles +11, Bucs/Steelers over 38.5, Colts -1.5
  
  Then I have $9 to win $54 for Murray to be the first to score in the Cowboys/Saints game or Cooks $5 to win $50 if he scores first. Also have a $1 to win $40 if the Saints Def scores first.
  $5 to win $50 in VJax scores first in the Bucs/Steelers game, $5 to win $25 if Brown scores first, and $5 to win $25 if Bell scores first.
  
  Also put $10 to win $1600 if the Cowboys/Bengals meet in the Superbowl.

  I'm giving you reps because it's true. I have a problem and will gamble on anything.

  Another solid weekend overall. Small winning day Saturday college football but capped it off winning my biggest bet of the season yesterday on the Vikings. Lost on the Jets, Titans (played it early in the week before I knew Locker was out.), Saints and Saints 2nd half. Other winners were the Dolphins, Packers, Bucs, Chargers 2nd half and 49ers. Had 500 on Europe to win the Ryder Cup at -180 which won $277.
  
  Have KC+3.5 to finish a 2 two team parlay with the Saints/Cowboys over. I don't love either team tonight. I might play the Pats moneyline and if New England wins by 1,2 or 3 I can win both.
