I'm typing this while playing poker online @ Bodog. I'm playing 2 tables, so I guessing this post will take a while to write. I'm putting my personal over/under at a 1/2 hour.

Doing great in college bowl games this year... I cashed in the Insight Bowl last night, and Rutgers killed to win me my 4 team teaser. I'm leaning on Texas, but so is the rest of the world so I'll probably pass... I don't see the books losing this one.

NFL Week 17 Bets:
Chicago Bears over Green Bay Packers
31-December-2006 5:15 PM PST
Spread -3 for Game -111
The Bears don't care? right. This is their biggest rival, and Chicago wants to keep them out of the postseason. This game might not mean much if the Giants win tonight, but either way, the Bears will roll... looks like I betting with the public on this one.

New York Giants/Washington Redskins
30-December-2006 5:00 PM PST
Total Points OVER 43 for Game -102
One of the games were both teams care this weekend. This game will go over.

Other NFL games already bet:
New York Jets -12
Washington Redskins +2
both these lines are better now... I should have waited on these.

Not bad, this took 37 minutes including a phone call and a smoke all while winning $10 playing poker, even though I was up about $90 before I had pocket aces busted.

Good Luck.

Minnesota U over Texas Tech
29-December-2006 5:00 PM PST
Spread +8.5 for Game -109
Everyone is all over Texas... I'll take the points in this one for a unit...

Dirty Sluts...


Good Luck.

Washington Redskins over the Giants
30-December-2006 5:00 PM PST
Spread +2 for Game -103
Public is all over the Giants, but Washington is the better team here... The line opened at Washington -3 and got pounded by public money. There is a lot of value in this home dog division rival.

New York Jets over the Raiders
31-December-2006 10:00 AM PST
Spread -12 for Game -101
The Jets need to win. They are at home and playing the Raiders... Do I really have to go on?

Good Luck. Go Rutgers!!!

Looking forward to this weekends games. Really looking forward to the Rugers game tonight... I'll be back with some bets later.

Slow day at work? Here are a few things to amuse you for a while...

NFL.com Adopt a playoff team… which bandwagon should you jump on.

Deal or No Deal online game.

Some Michael Vick quotes:

"All I care about is getting back to Atlanta before the New Year."

Later in the press conference he said "I wish I took the conference championship game against the Eagles more seriously."

And Course…

Decent weekend so far. Made some money yesterday, my Rutgers teaser is still alive, and I'm adding a play for today...

Dallas Cowboys
25-December-2006 2:00 PM PST
Spread -7 for Game -102

3rd straight road game for the Eagles going against a hot Dallas team that has too many offensive threats for the Eagles to defend. Originally, I was passing on this game, but after a second thought I had to play it. Revenge game, Philly is the public team here (yes really), and America's Team on Christmas day is a great show for the NFL. The Cowboys have also had a few extra days to prepare.

No action on the Jets/Dolphins game, but I'm rooting for the Jets to make the playoffs in their first year under Mangini.

Merry Christmas and Good Luck.

Adding 3 bets for a 1/2 unit each... quick write-ups

Indianapolis Colts/Houston Texans
24-December-2006 10:00 AM PST
Total Points UNDER 47 for Game -105
Last week Indy got there defense back. Turnovers should help with the under today.

Tennessee Titans/Buffalo Bills
24-December-2006 10:00 AM PST
Total Points OVER 37 for Game -110
I have the side, now I have the total. Tennessee will score, the Bills will score more.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers
24-December-2006 10:00 AM PST
Spread +3 for Game +109
Line value. I like Pittman to destroy Cleveland's terrible run defense.

Side Note:
To simulate the expected rainy conditions for Sunday's game, Rivers and center Nick Hardwick got in the shower together after practice on Thursday, the San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Games already bet:
Oakland Raiders +7
Buffalo Bills -4.5
Jacksonville Jaguars -3
Baltimore Ravens +3.5
Cincinnati Bengals/Denver Broncos OVER 44.5 (1/2 unit)
(See below for write-ups)

Good Luck.
