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

Dallas Cowboys -7 -110
The cowboys are healthy, at home, and in primetime. They are also the better team. 7 points is a lot of chalk for me, but I'll lay it here.

For lucky week 13, I'm already on:
Washington Redskins -5 -110 (2 units)
Chicago Bears +2 -110

Here are two early bets that I really like...

Washington Redskins -5 -110 (2 units)
A death on the team. They win this week for Sean Taylor.

Chicago Bears +2 -110
The Bears are a nice home dog. I respect their schedule more than the Giant's, and with Eli making the Viking's secondary look good, just imagine what the Bear's D could do this week.

Updated 2007 Football Record:
NFL sides: 26-20-3, +4.89 units
NFL totals: 10-8-1, +2.35 units
College: 12-12-1, +1.14 units

Good Luck.
