Chicago Bears +4 @ NY Giants
wooooooow I really have no explanation. Should be a pick em by game time.
Finally getting some 1/1.5 lines
Ravens +1.5@ Steelers
Can the Steelers really go 4-0?
Seahawks -1 @ Rams
Seahawks play well at home...horrible on the road
Pats -1 @ Dolphins
Sanchez looked really good against this defense. Tom Brady plz? -
as a phins fan pats -1 seems like a trap.
-
Gonna be a hard week. Nothing really jumped out at me.
-
Im going to wait until friday and load up on the Giants -1, -2

while I want to agree and say the Bears at +4 is crazy, it's basically Vegas begging you to take them... and they're much smarter than anyone here so it almost seems like the smart play would be to wait until the public shifts the line then take the Giants (not sure what I'll do if it's still +4 when the OT pool lines come out though)

EDIT - nm, Tread already posted the pool lines and it's +4 -
I kind of like atlanta -7 vs 49ers and indy -8 vs jags but I suck at betting.

Reason: oops -
My proposed method for betting is find the line where Vegas seems too good to be true and bet the opposite side once it moves. Working on tracking data right now to support my theory, starting with OT lock threads that we know fail 90% of the time.

Patriots suck on the road...

dude can't make a ping pong ball in a cup and he tries getting smart about football lines............laughable.

Steelers should be -3. Joe Flacco is being fed to the wolves here. Four interceptions @ Cincinnati and looked terrible against the Jets. The Steelers have made every QB look foolish, and I don't see this being an exception.
Bengals line is where I thought it would be, but I think they're undervalued. People are saying they didn't look good last week @ Carolina, but I disagree. It wasn't pretty, and Palmer isn't good, but they dominated on the offensive line and with their defense. The Bengals aren't going to win pretty, but they're going to make offenses look silly. Week one was an anomaly, as many week one games can be.
I'm surprised that the Colts and Eagles are favored by so many points in these division games. The Jaguars always play the Colts tough, and McNabb going back to Philly is going to be a slobberknocker. Would I bet the Jags? Absolutely not. As for the Redskins, karma time. McNabb goes into Philly and wins this game.
I thought the Giants would be favored by 2.5, so seeing 3.5 is kinda interesting. Jay Cutler, on the road, on Sunday night, coming off a short week, against a Giants team that nobody believes in... if the Giants are going to try and be any sort of a team this year, it'll be this game where they make their case. Will they? I don't think so. Would I touch this game with a ten foot pole? Absolutely not.
I thought the Texans would be in the 4.5-5.5 range, so I was surprised to see them as only three point favorites. I also thought the Chargers would be giving more points, but the lines this week definitely reflect that Vegas likes Oakland and hates the Jaguars.
Love the Steelers -1.5 and Bengals -3. I'm very, very sold on the Bengals after watching them play the past two weeks. Style points don't count on the scoreboard. -
First off OP is on the scammer list for 20 bux LOLLLL. Correct me if I am wrong. If I am not wrong get the fucking money from ur roommate and pay the bet from last year. I have no idea who you even owe.
I would take the Bears right now plus 4 all day. I also like Miami vs. Pats. -
ppl always say ttplaya scammed someone but somehow he still posts...what's the truth?
-
I think the last post confirmed it, I'm going to want action on the giants -4 this week.
-
no idea. all I know is that he is still on the list. He claims his roommate somehow got on his account and made a 20 dollar bet and he refused to cover it. Solid imo. GTFO OP.
-
Op is logged in.... What is the truth?

Im on the Texans big time this week. Texans are a pretty complete team with one big weakness...a terrible secondary. I dont think the Raiders will be able to exploit the Texans Secondary like the Colts, Skins and Cowboys did. Texans rebound and win by 2 TD's.

Chicago Bears +4
Ravens +1.5
Seahawks -1
Pats -1 -
ATL -6.5: is pretty much a gift. Completely out of sorts west coast team, going east and playing in the early slot against a team that plays very well at home and has every motivation not to give away the div game the Saints just handed to them. This is a big play for me this week.
PIT -1: should be at least -3 and I agree that Flacco should struggle and maybe PIT covers, but the better play here is the under 35 I think. Both teams will struggle to move the ball and Ray Rice is banged up.
CIN -3 (-120): Back to back weeks as road favorites laying a big price again(-120/125 last week),but against a div opponent this time. Id watch out for this game, I like the browns to play them tough..... I even have them on the ML at +145.....
HOU -3 (-125): Hate all this juice with a road fav off a home loss but the Texans are vastly superior and should show it here. Arian Foster should have a big day on the ground and even without Johnson at 100% Schaub has shown he can get it done with his other receivers. I like HOU to bounce back.
NYG -4: Does no one else think the Giants are complete frauds and are headed for an abysmal season that ultimately sees Coughlin gone? Keep the points... CHI ML +175.
IND -7.5 (-9.5 open): This line already is coming down to earth off an early run on all the points the Jags were getting, I should've been smart enough to take an early position on this one but missed the boat. If it goes to -6.5(highly doubtful) I may take it.
TEN -6.5: DEN is not very good on the road and are pretty one dimensional with their only offense coming through the air. TEN has one of the highest rated pass Ds this year. DEN should have trouble moving the ball and CJ is pissed that he went for his second lowest total ever at home 2 weeks ago against PIT. I think TEN covers this easily. -
You're still responsible for paying the bet and then you should collect the money from your "roommate" on your own time.

I don't see how you can say this. This is a team that went 1-11 and rattled off four wins in a row under Mangini to finish off last year. They've lost three games, two on the road, to teams with a combined record of 7-2, by a combined margin of 12 points. I agree with the bet, but it has everything to do with my belief in the Bengals and absolutely nothing to do with the Browns losing motivation.
-
Gotta like the Pats against Dolphins. Wes Welker should have a field day.
Last year the Giants had tons of games that they needed to win yet they got blown out so don't pay attention to them being backed in the corner and needing a win. I can see Forte having a big game in the passing game. -
fwiw it was $80 and it was me. I never got paid, and hes made a few bets since.
-
That's BS and really the only reason that I keep harping on people when they post and they are on the list is because people deserve to know. I think that anyone on the list should not be able to bet ten cents on this forum nor participate in any of the leagues but whatever I hardly do any leagues anyway.

If him stating his case was in fact saying that his roommate made the bet then that is despicable. Also TTplaya I really doubt you have stated your case many times and it is not my responsibility to look it up. I ain't on the list. -
i'm sure ttplaya would have had no problem accepting the money had he won the bet.
-
Nice assumption Camz.
I have made a few other bets where I sent first. No one seemed to have a problem then. Rocket keep doing what you think is right. As I said I have been asked before and stated my case a couple different times. Whether you think that's right or wrong I have. And I'm not gonna keep doing it every single time its brought up. I can't. -
Chalk much?
