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.

I'm paying a little extra on these 3, but it paid off to wait from yesterday... All 3 are public hated, strong home dogs.

San Francisco 49ers +3 -115
The Rams shouldn't be road favorites after 1 win. The 49ers can use a home win.

Baltimore Ravens +3 -115
Ravens D kept Cinci out of the endzone last week and still lost. Baltimore has already proved they could move the ball vs the Browns by outgaining them by 100 yards earlier this year.

Detroit Lions +3 -125
The Lions are undeated at home. Based on the last couple of games, Plaxico Burress is still not healthy, leaving the Giants without a deep threat at WR. Eli will have to rely on Shockey and the running game which isn't much...

For week 11, I'm already on:
Minnesota Vikings -5 -110
New Orleans Saints/Houston Texans OVER 47½ -110

Seattle Seahawks -8½ -110
The 49ers are a bad team, and Seattle is getting healthy. The Birds should roll tonight @ home in front of a national crowd.

4-2-1 on the NFL yesterday.

Updated 2007 Football Record:
NFL sides: 21-16-2, +4.49 units
NFL totals: 10-7-1, +3.45 units
College: 9-8-1, +1.05 units

Good Luck tonight!

Adding three live homedogs to card. And this is it. FINAL.
Carolina Panthers +7 -110
San Francisco 49ers +2½ -110
St Louis Rams +3 -115

The only home dog I'm not betting this week is Cincy. This game looks ugly, and I'm showing value on the Steelers. Not enough for a bet, but enough to keep me off the Bengals.

Previous Bets:
Miami Dolphins +10 -110
New York Giants/Miami Dolphins UNDER 48 -110
New Orleans Saints/San Francisco 49ers UNDER 40 -110
Green Bay Packers +3 +100

Updated 2007 Football Record:
NFL sides: 13-9-1, +4.05 units
NFL totals: 7-5-1, +2.65 units
College: 9-6, +3.35 units

Good Luck.

Green Bay Packers +3 +100
A Monday Night Football bet on Wednesday? Yeah, I really think the wrong team is favored here. Give me the points, and I have to take the Packers.

New Orleans Saints/San Francisco 49ers UNDER 40 -110
Rolling with the under on the Saints for the 2nd week in a row. This team has started to show improvement, but still isn't the offensive powerhouse it was last year. San Fran has also lost a step this year, and even if Alex Smith starts this week, I don't see them putting up many points.

Already on:
Miami Dolphins +10 -110

Good Luck

NY Jets/New York Giants OVER 40½ -110 (2 units)
2 home team with bad defenses. Expect this one to be a high scoring affair.

Denver Broncos +1½ -110
Denver hasn't been a division home dog in the last 11 years for good reason

Cleveland Browns +17 -110
too many points

Already on:
Green Bay Packers -3 -120
Jacksonville Jaguars/Kansas City Chiefs under 36 110
San Francisco 49ers +4 -110
Cleveland Browns/New England Patriots OVER 48½ -110

Good Luck today.

Adding 2 bets -

San Francisco 49ers +4 -110
The Ravens haven't won on the road this year (losing to Cinci and Cleveland) and now they are going to San Fran and giving points? Derrick Mason, the Ravens #1 reciever, is also banged up. The 49ers should be looking forward to a home game they can win and will let it all hang out going into their bye week.

Cleveland Browns/New England Patriots OVER 48½ -110
Good value in this line. Cleveland puts up points, and the Pats haven't scored less than 34 in a game this year.

Already bet -
Green Bay Packers -3 -120
Jacksonville Jaguars/Kansas City Chiefs under 36 -110

That's all for now. I might have more later.

Good Luck.
