    17-9 in my last 26.

    2015 NFL: 5-1

    So I just lost Duke Indy in a total fu** up of a game and I don't want to do a long write-up so I'll just ramble here.

    I can't even lay fu**ing points anymore with the gambling gods shi**ing on my with the Giants miracle cover last week so this will be a ML parlay.

    If you don't like it, play whatever you fu***ing please.

    ML PARLAY
    Vikings -270 ML
    Bills -270 ML

    Pays $88 for a $100 bet.

    Vikes -270 over the Giants 

    The Giants lose ODB. Think the NFL works like the NBA? Wrong. ODB is responsible for almost 40% of the Giants offense through the air. The Giants are signing shi**y WR's off the fu**ing PRACTICE SQUAD because of his suspension. You think the current shi**ty lot of WR's will step up (a field that is already decimated). No way. The reason those guys excel is BECAUSE ODB is double or triple covered and now he isn't there. They will have to deal with regular coverage themselves without ODB's help tomorrow against a Vikes secondary that isn't chopped liver (and the Giants secondary is chopped liver).

    Is that the only reason? No. The Giants have HOLES EVERYWHERE and Coughlin in his weekly press conference looked unhinged. .

    The game is supposed to be in the teens (perfect Vikings weather) and the Giants may even be out of it by kickoff. Even if Washington loses, the Giants don't have enough to win here.

    Worst of all last week Cam Newton had runs of 53 and a 30+ yard run because JPP CAN'T TACKLE with his oven mitt. Adrian Peterson will slice through them like butter and the Giants cannot afford one missed tackle (or several), which they will have with JPP on the field.

    There are MANY other reasons, not the least of which being that the Giants could have easily lost 35-7 or 45-7 if ODB gets thrown out last week as he should have after the crowing of Norman. A total Carolina implosion after that. They are not going into Minny and taking a game from a solid Vikes team. But the spread is too fu**ing big for the Giants to once again backdoor.


    Bills -270 over Cowboys

    Rex is not going to lose to Kellen Fuc*ing Moore. Write it down. No matter what you have read about the Bills, these players are playing for their jobs as Rex has stated and their aggression will be taken out on the Cowboys.

    Look at the Bills schedule. 5 of the last 6 on the road against teams that were all desperate or great.

    @Jets
    @Pats
    @KC
    Houston
    @Philly
    @ Washington

    That is very tough when all those teams, save the Pats (toughest of all), need to win.

    Now here comes Dallas, by far the worst of the bunch and they are completely out of it.

    Dez being declared out tells you all you need to know about this Cowboys team wanting to win this game, a team that should be looking towards the draft at Paxton or Hackenburg for a QB of the future. Win tomorrow and those guys go bye-bye.

    Cowboys run defense is good and the Bills are loaded with injuries but Rex does play for pride even if there is some team mutiny here.

    I can see one of these two games covering but not both so I have to ML them both for a mildly reduced payout. Don't like it? No problem. You are free to bet whatever you want.

    It sucks to lose when the team you bet was up by 28 or whatever they was up by at one time, but how many times have we won with the team down 28 points, it all evens up.

    I am leaning NYG, but to me it will be a NYG win or MIN cover, knowing ELI, if he will have a 3-4 TD game or a 3-4 INT game.

    Good luck.

    How many times have I come back from 28 down???? Never!!!!!

    I've never even made a bet where I came back from 21 down in the pros!

    NYG has a golden opportunity to get the doors blown off them.

    I'm telling you: JPP CANNOT tackle. He was solely responsible for two missed tackles on Cam that resulted huge gains and ultimately in scores. Peterson is going to run right by him for big gains....

    Anyone who is on the Giants better watch out. 

    Look at the Giants WR core. Just brutal. Cam put up 35 on them in 2.5 quarters at home in a game they absolutely had to have. Fear them tomorrow, especially if they have nothing to play for and are ready to fold up shop in the Arctic Minny.

    ODB should have been thrown out of that game making any comeback impossible. Your pick was correct SCAL despite the ultimate 'one in  hundred' comeback. Stay the course with your capping and dont let a rare anomolie get to you.

    Minny SNF game this wk is meaningless if Ari and Car wins (plays GB for division title next wk).  I can see AP, Joseph, Barr, Smith resting 2H.  That maybe enough as can see NYG laying down rest of yr as they're normally play up to motivations.

    Tough loss last wk.  GL!

    Appreciate it Shiek. And believe me if Bernie Sanders were president you AND more importantly your children and their children would benefit immensely. Anyone else, including Hillary will be detrimental. Although I'll always take the lesser of all evils over anything the GOP offers. Forget Trump, Christie running is not too far behind in terms of what a debacle the presidency would be if he ran. Do you know how much he's screwed up Jersey (and Bridge-gate is not even the start), and now he wants to run the country?

    first thank you for all your work, as I follow you for years and love your picks and writeups. also love that you hate the GOP as most people on here are conservatives. 

    to the main issue, thank you for sharing your frustration on indy-duke game. i thought i was the only one about to throw my tv off the window as indy should have won  by 3 TD. 2 long 75+ runs and a KO TD is friggin inexcusable. darn i was so mad in OT where they needed a TD to win and they go 3 and friggin out. are you friggin serious after you were driving on duke D at will in the 2nd half. to put the cherry on top the FG K who was also All-B10 (so much for that) missed a friggin chip shot to send it to 2OT. look maybe it do go in, but in no friggin way should it have even been that close to begin with. god, it wasnt even a bad beat it was just a total darn up like u said. anyhow thanks again

    I had a friend that use to only bet favorites and he complained about the same thing. His team being ahead and the team getting points always coming back to cover. He said he how come the favorite teams never come back from down 21 or 28 points to cover.

    You recounted it perfectly.

    You knew when they dropped that end around TD pass to go up 11, and then duke scores on a 98 yard kickoff return that this would go right to the wire.

    And then did we not both jump for joy when Duke didn't go for 2 down 1 with 40 seconds left? I was ELATED to escape that moose at -2 and just get to OT with this offense.

    Then we go to OT, and they lose Sirk and settle for a shi**y FG? I'm bouncing off the walls at -2 at that point! 

    As you said, to go three and out??? With the greatest QB Indy has ever had?????  

    And you just knew he'd pull the kick. It was probably no good but to only review if it goes THROUGH the goal posts???? Huh?

    If it goes THROUGH, why would they need to review it!!!??!

    It's like saying, "If he doesn't step out of bounds, we'll review if he went out of bounds."

    Oh don't forget the INT in a tie game late and Indy gets not one but TWO unsportsmanlike penalties to go from the midfield back to the 5 yard line! Nice way to kill a drive.

    I'm FAR more upset about the Indy game than the Carolina Giants game! And I'm glad you feel it too! It was an atrocious ATS loss!

    So I just lost Duke Indy in a total fu** up of a game and I don't want to do a long write-up so I'll just ramble here.

    I can't even lay fu**ing points anymore with the gambling gods shi**ing on my with the Giants miracle cover last week so this will be a ML parlay.

    If you don't like it, play whatever you fu***ing please.

    ML PARLAY
    Vikings -270 ML
    Bills -270 ML

    Pays $88 for a $100 bet.

    Vikes -270 over the Giants 

    The Giants lose ODB. Think the NFL works like the NBA? Wrong. ODB is responsible for almost 40% of the Giants offense through the air. The Giants are signing shi**y WR's off the fu**ing PRACTICE SQUAD because of his suspension. You think the current shi**ty lot of WR's will step up (a field that is already decimated). No way. The reason those guys excel is BECAUSE ODB is double or triple covered and now he isn't there. They will have to deal with regular coverage themselves without ODB's help tomorrow against a Vikes secondary that isn't chopped liver (and the Giants secondary is chopped liver).

    Is that the only reason? No. The Giants have HOLES EVERYWHERE and Coughlin in his weekly press conference looked unhinged. .

    The game is supposed to be in the teens (perfect Vikings weather) and the Giants may even be out of it by kickoff. Even if Washington loses, the Giants don't have enough to win here.

    Worst of all last week Cam Newton had runs of 53 and a 30+ yard run because JPP CAN'T TACKLE with his oven mitt. Adrian Peterson will slice through them like butter and the Giants cannot afford one missed tackle (or several), which they will have with JPP on the field.

    There are MANY other reasons, not the least of which being that the Giants could have easily lost 35-7 or 45-7 if ODB gets thrown out last week as he should have after the crowing of Norman. A total Carolina implosion after that. They are not going into Minny and taking a game from a solid Vikes team. But the spread is too fu**ing big for the Giants to once again backdoor.


    Bills -270 over Cowboys

    Rex is not going to lose to Kellen Fuc*ing Moore. Write it down. No matter what you have read about the Bills, these players are playing for their jobs as Rex has stated and their aggression will be taken out on the Cowboys.

    Look at the Bills schedule. 5 of the last 6 on the road against teams that were all desperate or great.

    @Jets
    @Pats
    @KC
    Houston
    @Philly
    @ Washington

    That is very tough when all those teams, save the Pats (toughest of all), need to win.

    Now here comes Dallas, by far the worst of the bunch and they are completely out of it.

    Dez being declared out tells you all you need to know about this Cowboys team wanting to win this game, a team that should be looking towards the draft at Paxton or Hackenburg for a QB of the future. Win tomorrow and those guys go bye-bye.

    Cowboys run defense is good and the Bills are loaded with injuries but Rex does play for pride even if there is some team mutiny here.

    I can see one of these two games covering but not both so I have to ML them both for a mildly reduced payout. Don't like it? No problem. You are free to bet whatever you want.
    Dude, I NEVER play the point spread. ALWAYS ML's. I have NEVER lost by a 'back door" cover, a last second 3 from 30ft, a meaningless FThrow, etc. If I lose, in which I do, we all do. I lose because my team LOST THE GAME. Not some BULL-CRAP at the end of the game.

    Play a few ML's, see if you like them. That's what I do. No more than 2 teamer's. A win is a win, no matter what the payout is. Gambling is about winning, not GREEDY winning.

    Hey Scal, Indiana -2 yesterday was one of my bowl games I truly loved and locked up early. Tough to watch your squad pile up 38 points and 650 yards and LOSE. Our QB took a little bit to get warmed up and shake off the rust and still was in a great position to win the game. Entire game I felt IN was in control, and the wheels fell off at the end. Then that OT kick.....meh. Looked like it probably was no good, but hate to lose a game on that controversy. 

    Shake it off.

    Glyde, I felt like the entire game was out of our control. Even up 7 with 2 minutes left, I knew we couldn't stop Duke from scoring there.

    But I do agree it took Sudfeld a quarter to get warmed up. He was running the hurry up offense yet was looking to the sideline for 15 seconds every play!

    Mystic - Not sure what your deal is but your statement shows you don't know much about sports betting.

    A two team ML favorite parlay that pays in the same range as a -110 bet (the standard) is just as hard to hit as a straight up -110 wager.

    Why? Because if there was arbitrage to be had everyone would be exploiting it and the books would get killed. So there is no arbitrage to be had.

    I didn't play these separately precisely for that reason. Who cares about hitting a -270 ML? When you parlay them you get the odds you want and obviously the bet is harder to hit, and for the price, nearly exactly as hard as a -110 bet.
