The holiday season is crazy. I think I've drank more beer, wine and shots in the last week than I did in the whole month of November. While I've gotten used to rolling into work at noon with a hangover, I haven't been able to even think football until today.

Updated 2007 Football Record:
NFL sides: 34-29-3, +1.94 units
NFL totals: 11-12-1, -1.05 units
College: 12-12-1, +1.14 units

Philadelphia Eagles +3 +100 (2 units)
I love this bet! Every sharp player I know is on Philly, yet the Public is still backing New Orleans.

Quick 1 unit plays:
San Francisco 49ers +6 -110
Oakland Raiders +13½ -110
Both teams are so out of favor that they have a few points of value in the line.

I'll be back with more bets tomorrow.

Good Luck.

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.

Another Monday night winner last night. The Seahawk's win brings my week 10 NFL record to 5-2-1, and I'm up 9.99 units in football for the year. I hope to be in solid double digits after this week.

Minnesota Vikings -5 -110
Oakland's secondary was so bad last weekend Rex Grossman looked like a probowler, and even with Peterson sidelined, the Raiders will have serious problems trying to stop the run. This is also Minny's last easy home game this season. They will play hard for the win.

1-1 yesterday...

Added Plays:
Green Bay Packers -5 -110
Farve @ home is too much for the Vikings poor secondary.

Tennessee Titans -4½ -110
The Jags are on their third straight road game, and the Titans defense is stacked.

Already on:
Arizona Cardinals -1 -110
Oakland Raiders +4 -110
St Louis Rams/New Orleans Saints OVER 46 -110
St Louis Rams +11½ -110
Miami Dolphins +3 +100

Good Luck today.

Oakland Raiders +4 -110
Live homedog. The public is all over the Bears, but with all the injuries to the Bear's defense, Oakland should be favored in this game.

St Louis Rams/New Orleans Saints OVER 46 -110
The Saint's offense has been on fire recently and with the Rams getting Steven Jackson back this week, they should be able to score.

Be back with more before game time.

San Diego Chargers -9 -110
The Chargers are back, and they roll at home. The Raiders off a bye aren't scary.

Tennessee Titans/Tampa Bay Buccaneers UNDER 37½ -110
These teams play to the under. Bucs top RBs are hurt.

Record YTD:
NFL Sides: 7-8-1, -0.85

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!

Oakland Raiders -3
I faded the Browns last week and got rocked. Well, they got their big home win the week everyone thought they would get crushed by the Bangles. Look for them to have a big let down this week when they travel to Oakland. As for the Raiders, this is probably one of the games that they can win at home, and they will be ready. I also like the line, as it opened a little higher and has moved toward me with the public betting on the Browns.

Be back with more later...

Record YTD:
Sides 1-4, -3.35 units
Totals 2-2, -0.05 units

Good Luck
