If you looking for NFL Picks, scroll down...

NCAA Half/Quarters. Football

to win a 1/2 unit.

Futures Bet: 2008 US Presidential Election

I don't really like future bets. They tie up money for a very long time... Anyway, I see one that I really like and don't want to pass on. (Is this sports betting?)

2008 US Presidential Election
Democratic Party Presidential Nominee
Hillary Clinton vs Anybody Else (2008)
Anybody else (all bets have action) -113

Like my girl says, "The Democrats want to win this year". Personally, and as a New Yorker, I don't think Hillary has a shot. They'll need to find someone better to run up against John McCain or even Rudy Giuliani .

Bet to win one current unit

Free NFL Football Picks: Week 11 Final Card

I think this is the final card for week 11.

Sports betting is funny, last year, I was on mostly favorites. this year I'm always on the dogs... gotta play where the value is...

Anyway, I'm adding 3 more plays for this weekend bring the full card to 9.

Dallas Cowboys over Indianapolis Colts
19-November-2006 1:15 PM PST
Spread -1 for Game -104
I'm fading the public on this one... no other way to say it. The line has move agianst the Colts, yet everyone keeps throwing money at them... When there is this many people on one side (like the Miami/Chicago game 2 weeks ago), that side is usually wrong.

Atlanta Falcons over Baltimore Ravens
19-November-2006 10:00 AM PST
Spread +3.5 for Game -106
Atlanta plays to the competition and are better then they have showed the last 2 weeks. Also, no Ray Lewis and Steve McNair is not the answer.

Denver Broncos over San Diego Chargers
19-November-2006 5:15 PM PST
Spread -2.5 for Game -115
The Broncoes are at home and 3-1 against 500 teams this year... San Diego is away and 0-2.

Other bets for this weekend (posted earlier):
St Louis Rams +6.5 over Carolina Panthers BEST BET
San Diego Chargers/Denver Broncos Total Points OVER 42
Cleveland Browns +3.5 over Pittsburgh Steelers
New York Jets +7 over Chicago Bears
San Francisco 49ers +3.5 over Seattle Seahawks

AND
Green Bay Packers +5.5 over New England Patriots
New England Patriots -5.5 over Green Bay Packers (1/2 unit)
I bought off a 1/2 unit in this game, so that I'm on the Pack to win a 1/2 unit

NFL 2006 record: 28-20-2, +7.89 units, 58.3% winners

Good Luck.

Brett Favre vs the Pats - injury reported

Warning on the Packers game!

From SI:
Packers coach Mike McCarthy revealed after practice Friday that Favre suffered a groin injury in practice a day earlier.

McCarthy said Favre was limited in practice Friday and took only some of the reps, though the reduced workload is typical for Favre in the final practice of a week.

"He's sore today. His groin really bothered him," McCarthy said.

Favre was included on the team's extensive injury report earlier this week because of sore ankles, which kept him out of most of practice Wednesday.Favre is considered probable to play Sunday against New England at Lambeau Field.

His streak of 250 straight starts, including playoff appearances, doesn't appear to be in jeopardy.McCarthy said there are no concerns about Favre's ability to move in the game.

"I talked to him at length today. He doesn't think (the groin injury is) a big deal," McCarthy said.Asked how the 37-year-old Favre was hurt Thursday, McCarthy said, "Just practice. Old age. Whatever."

I'm not buying off yet... trying to look for more news...

Week 11 NFL Free Football Picks

6 bets today... maybe some more before the weekend :O)

St Louis Rams over Carolina Panthers BEST BET
19-November-2006 10:00 AM PST
Spread +6.5 for Game -106
What is going on with this line? I have no idea... The Rams should be favored in this game, yet the public is still on the Panthers... Vegas is set to clean up. I considered buying the hook (the 1/2 point to 7), but decided not to. I might even put a small money line play on the Rams.

San Diego Chargers/Denver Broncos
19-November-2006 5:15 PM PST
Total Points OVER 42 for Game -110
The Chargers scored over 42 points by themselves last week, their defense has some holes, and Denver's offense is coming together... I'm not the best at over/unders, but I see value in this one.

Surprise, surprise, betting all decent homedogs again. They've been hitting, and I'll keep playing them. Going against a lot of public teams with these bets below (adding to the value), but I'm passing on the Colts/Cowboys game... for now.

Cleveland Browns over Pittsburgh Steelers
19-November-2006 10:00 AM PST
Spread +3.5 for Game +100

Green Bay Packers over New England Patriots
19-November-2006 10:00 AM PST
Spread +5.5 for Game -108

New York Jets over Chicago Bears
19-November-2006 10:00 AM PST
Spread +7 for Game -110

San Francisco 49ers over Seattle Seahawks
19-November-2006 1:05 PM PST
Spread +3.5 for Game -108

all bets to win 1 unit. That's all for tonight...

NFL 2006 record: 28-20-2, +7.89 units

Gamblers take aim at Internet ban

Good News...

Casino executives and a poker lobby group said that they hope a change in power brought by the midterm elections will help them overturn an Internet gambling ban rushed through Congress while Republicans were still in control.

I'll be back with some bets tonight.

2nd half bet

to win a half unit, the Panthers win, I cash

Carolina Panthers
13-November-2006 5:30 PM PST
Spread -7 for 2nd Half -103

No Monday Night Football Bet

After losing on Monday Night for the last two weeks, I have to pass on tonights game. I see the value with the Bucs (10 pts), but with the Panthers coming off a bye, and in primetime, I see them ready for tonight. This can easily turn into a blowout... That said, I'm passing.

Updated record -
NFL 2006 record: 27-20-2, +7.39 units

Good Luck
