New England Patriots -12½ -105
Rumor has it that the Giants will be resting players in the 2nd. The Pats historically let their starters play. The Pats are also going for a record tonight, and I expect them to get it.

Atlanta Falcons -107
Believe it or not, the Falcons have value in this game. Seattle is locked into the 3rd seed, so like the Giants, they have nothing to play for and should be resting players.

Kansas City Chiefs +6½ -110
No one should be getting 6+ pts vs the Jets.

Miami Dolphins +2½ -110
Miami at home vs a team they can beat. They should be motivated and playing for their jobs.

Cincinnati Bengals/Miami Dolphins UNDER 45 -110
The once potent Cincinnati offense has failed to score 20 points in four consecutive games.

That is all for now. I'm leaving town today for Atlantic City. I'll be there through New Years, so this might be my last post of 2007.

Good Luck and Happy New Year!

Another ugly week last week, leaving me up a little less than half a unit in football so far this year. I did cash the boxing ticket though...

Updated 2007 Football Record:
NFL sides: 29-26-3, +0.34 units
NFL totals: 11-12-1, -1.05 units
College: 12-12-1, +1.14 units

The favorites in the NFL have been running real well the last couple of weeks. The public has been real hot, and this has left a lot of opportunity to bet some juicy dogs this week.

That said, get ready to hold your nose this week. I'm betting more games than usual and hitting a few games hard. I usually don't like this much action on a single weekend, but I have to bet opportunities as they present themselves.

San Francisco 49ers +9-110 (2 units)
This big home dog is getting no love.

Atlanta Falcons +13.5 -110 (2 units)
The Falcons move on this week without Vick who is serving 23 months. Their season is done, but they'll still try to spoil this division rival. I'll take 2 TDs against the defensively oriented Bucs.

Other dogs I'm on this week (all to win 1 unit):
Miami Dolphins +4½ -115
St Louis Rams +10 -110
Carolina Panthers +8 -110
Kansas City Chiefs +4 -110
Oakland Raiders +11 -110
Washington Redskins +5 -105

All that action and I haven't even looked at the totals yet... I think I might be passing on those this week.

Being that it's the holidays and my schedule this week is ridiculous, I'm not sure if I'll post again before Sunday. That said, this Sunday is the anniversary of the Boston Tea Party, and those crazy Ron Paul supporters are putting together another "money bomb" for him on Sunday. Ron Paul is the most pro online gambling presidental candidate in the 2008 race, and that's why I'm writing about him. You can check out this fund raiser at Tea Party 07.

Good Luck this week sports betting people.

New York Giants/Chicago Bears UNDER 39 -110
Weak offenses, injuries, bad weather.

Cincinnati Bengals/Pittsburgh Steelers OVER 38½ -110
Both teams can score points. This field will be better than Monday.

Atlanta Falcons +3 -100

Kansas City Chiefs +6½ -110
Oakland Raiders +4 -110

Week 13, I'm already on:
Washington Redskins -5 -110 (2 units)
Chicago Bears +2 -110
Dallas Cowboys -7 -110 - Winner

Good Luck.

I can get the Eagles +22.5 points right now! This is the largest spread since 1976. And the public is still on the Pats. As are some sharps... The line opened at 17 and was immediately bet up to 22 because the Pats have been showing no mercy in their blow outs. I'm not on either side yet, but I really don't see how I can't bet on the Eagles this week.

Thursday's Plays:
NY Jets +14½ -110
The Jets are bad, but everyone is on Dallas and the line was set that way. With 14.5 points, there is atleast 6 points in value here with room open for a backdoor cover.

Atlanta Falcons +12 -110
About the same reasons as the Jets, expect that Altanta is playing at home and even less people are playing on the Falcons.

Gotta run. Enjoy the holiday and good luck this week.

Added plays:
Seattle Seahawks -7½ -110
Dallas Cowboys -9 -105
I got good lines on both these games. Too big favorites playing at home coming off loses. Both lines have value.

Atlanta Falcons/New Orleans Saints UNDER 42½
Atlanta should continue to struggle on offense. I don't believe that the Saints are back. Take out last week's win, and they haven't scored more than 2 TDs in a game this year.

2 bets made Monday night:
Kansas City Chiefs +3 -115
Buffalo Bills +3 -110
It looks like I was right on both of these as the lines have moved with me. I expected the Chiefs to be favored here and Baltimore is hurting.

This should be my final card for week 7.

Good Luck.

New York Giants -3½ -105
I'm giving the half point on this game, but I don't think it'll hurt me. The Falcons are in real bad shape. Their O line is in shambles, and they are going up against the same team that sacked Philly 12 times two weeks ago. Meanwhile, the Giants have been getting healthy. This will be a public play, but the public has to win sometimes, right?

Good Luck

It's week 4 in the NFL, and I feel really good about it. This is the week things get on track.

There are so many home dogs this week! Too bad I they can't all win.

This is my full card for the NFL this week. No added plays except maybe on Monday.

Detroit Lions +3 -115 (2 unit play)
Home team getting points. Detroit has a very dangerous offense that loves to throw. And Da Bear's secondary is beat up! Harris, Briggs, Vasher, Tillman... My money's on Detroit.

Atlanta Falcons +3 -105
Home team getting points. I've seen the Falcons +2.5 even though the world is on Houston. The books are begging for action on this game, and they are all backing the Birds. I like it... After all, the Texans starting #1 receiver is Andre Davis!

Oakland Raiders +5 -110
Miami is terrible. This is a good spot for them to get a win, but 5 points is too many points for this team to give anyone, even the Raiders.

Buffalo Bills +3½ -110
Home team getting points. The Bill's 3 losses came against teams with an 8-1 record, so the schedule has not been easy. But they can beat the Jets! They would love win vs their division rival at home. They are motivated and could get their first win this week. And I'm getting 3½ points...

Kansas City Chiefs/San Diego Chargers UNDER 38½ -110
There is serious money on this under. I found a good line, so I took it.

Baltimore Ravens/Cleveland Browns OVER 40 -110
Value in this line. The Ravens defense is not as tough as last year.

Good Luck!

Troy was an easy win, but Stanford was a bust. I guess I deserve that for betting with the books...

Carolina Panthers -3½ -110
Betting into the Home Dog, and fading the lowly Falcons. Can anyone blame me? They are terrible.

Detroit Lions/Philadelphia Eagles UNDER 44 -110
Detroit Lions +5½ -110
The Total is where it is because of Detriot's passing attact, but I think they will run more this week with Jones back. Philly hasn't been all that impressive this year. The coach's kids are all messed up, McNabb is in the press for more drama, and Westbrook should be limited. I can see Detriot winning outright, but I'll take the points.

This is my full card for the week.

Good Luck.
