TB seems to be getting hot and the saints went in the opposite direction since Brees has been back so thats a reason to stay away from this one. I fully expect the Saints to take this one down but would not be surprised if TB crushes them, this is one of those weird ones where circumstances come down to the core of the team rebounding from adversity and also running into a team that is getting its legs. TB has some big Offensive weapons and it looks like the have theri running game sorted and as long as Winston does not start throwing interceptions again they can be dangerous. Gay is also an under rated kicker that could make a game winner. OTOH I have no clue what is going on with the saints, they looked horrible the last few eeeks and kamara looks anemic lately and without his explosiveness then the passing game cannnot develop and pressure will get in on him and even his super fast release cannot stand under pressure all day.But After all thast being said The Saints are a much better team with a long track record and i fully expect them to bounce back this week, I am playing Brees and thomas on my seconds team this week (I grabbed Brees off the wire a few weeks ago and expect him to start paying dividends now).

Hmm... You actually talked me out of it. Also I just remembered I have Jameis Winston as my QB and Chris Godwin as a WR. I also have Thomas as a WR... But, I'll be asleep when it happens. Gonna wake up early to watch the Rams game tho.

BTW what sites are you guys trusting with your BTC bets?
I'm looking for a site that accepts monero and is dependable.

Can't help you there cuz. I know FortuneJack accepts XMR but not for their sportsbook. Maybe later... they've only had a sportsbook for less than a year.

Thanks for the info man.
Don't let me make any decisions for you though i don't want the blame!


If you guys have Referral Links drop them here and I'll check the sites out.

Keep that starting lineup except change Ronald jones for tevin Coleman.  The 49ers run enough to start both breida or coleman.  Coleman has some electric plays.  Any of the Tampa rbs should be benched.  They throw way to much.  Good luck with whoever you do start.

Edit: kittle is doubtful so I would probably bench him today.

This was the I think only actual post that met the criteria so have 3+sM.

And thanks for the Input!

If i didn't last second change my mind on the Steelers/Browns game i would've been 3 in a row on my O/U predictions. So i've got three singles for today, ideally if all three hits that would be awesome, but i'd be happy for 2-1 split.

Falcons @ Panthers Over 47.5 (odds 1.89). Opened up at 49.5. ATL have scored 24 or more points in their last four away games and CAR is avg 26.2 pts at home.

Jags @ Colts Over 42.5 (1.97 boosted). Jacoby Brissett is set to return, no Hilton still. Jags have scored 26 or more points in their last 3 away games.

Jets @ Redskins Under 38.5 (odds 1.86). Both teams are respectively 31st and 32nd in pass yards per game. WAS is avg 11pts at home, while Jets have 13pts avg away from New York.

Jaguars starting Foles for the first time since week 1 No hilton and Brissett not nessisaryily 100% so I would be concerned about taking an over.

Just my 2 cents.

I like this bet except I think the Falcons are going to get crushed.

Agreed. Falcons had their personal SuperBowl last Sunday and I don't think the W @Saints was any kind of a turnaround. Their defense stinks and the O-Line is giving Matty Ice more headache than protection. Despite their horrible record, the Falcons have not been THAT bad on the road, but till now they always got to play indoors on artificial grass, which is advantageous for a dome team. Not the case in Bank of America Stadium today. And - the trend is your friend - recent match-ups resulted in L-W-L-W-L-W for the Falcons when playing @Carolina, so another L is to be expected. Divisional matchups always write their own story, but a crushing is very likely imo.

[vella85]

My single bet on the Falcons to cover looks very good right now and my parlay bet is also looking good. The Falcons have been unstoppable in this game and look to come away with a big win. I just need the Cowboys to hold as that looks to be the one that might go down to the wire.

[ralle14]

I missed most of the games today but I noticed that a lot of underdogs performed well today during the first half of their matches it's getting kind of difficult to place early bets in the future weeks as favorites are starting slow

Two bets I have for tonight's game are Rams' spread and the under. Their recent matches don't always go above 40, Much needed win for the Rams, likely to cover the -6 spread and at the same time stop the Bears from keeping this match close. Plus the Bears haven't won against teams that have good records at home.


Edit : Also that last second cover by the 49ers was unbelievable.

Color me surprised as shit! Congrats.
I played their new RB and he sucked balls, apparently he was the only one on thier team that decided not to show up.

...

Of course, I was 50/50 to win and in that last second they boned me (SF Def). Lol
You have to give the Cardinals credit though, they are much improved the last few weeks and had a chance to take the 49ers down today.


BTW thx for the Referral link PM I am researching sites for next week.

Nice one man.  I had carolina in this one and they completely bit it today.  Looks like allen is coming back down to earth.  Falcons are always rough to bet on or against.  They either look like a playoff team or one of the worst teams in the league.  Now I know better for the rest of the year

I walked 2 miles in 90 degree heat (that's 32 C for all the euros) + 100% humidity in order to watch the Rams play the Bears... even if the Rams won, totally not worth it. Lackluster QB performances on both sides. I think Goff had like 2 good throws through the whole game. At least I'm set to win my fantasy game if my 2 Chargers players get any yards at all tomorrow.

[morvillz7z]

I capped off my Sunday bets with a win Rams FH/FT. Bears can't catch a break with kickers though. Pinero missed two FGs in the 1st quarter.

Jaguars starting Foles for the first time since week 1 No hilton and Brissett not nessisaryily 100% so I would be concerned about taking an over.

You were sorta right about this one, but Foles got me out of the woods with a last-minute TD to Chark to cover the OVER.

I still can't believe Panthers put just 3 points at home, but what else to expect when your QB throws 4 picks.

[nutildah]

I got a new source merit increase that was quite generous (though I still don't get as many per month as some other fucks), so from now on, if you make a 50/50 (or harder) pick and its good, I will award you with 4 merits. Of course common sense rules apply, like only 1 pick per account per week, etc. Having said that, who do you guys like for today's matchup?

Kansas city all day.  I'm looking at the under as well.  I think with the elevation people are not going to be as sharp or as conditioned as they are in the states.  LAC is actually training for the game at a higher elevation and Kansas city is not.  So while on flat ground I say this is a 37-27 kc win.  I'd say 27-16 kansas city wins this one.

[TheRealWiseInvestor]

Chargers +5 and  under 52.5 All day everyday. Happy monday

Are you that high on the chargers or just that low on the chiefs.  I think with the season coming to a critical point they are gonna be on top of their A game.  The x factor here is being played in mexico cities high altitude.  That has a bigger effect than most people realize.

[ralle14]

Chiefs, they need the win since they're on a bye next week and this is a division game as well it might get close but I think Chiefs won't let this one go through easily. They already had a few losses recently and if they lose this one the Raiders have a good chance to take their first spot in the division.

I'm glad that wasn't me!
I cut Goff to the wire right after that game so he will rebound next week and for the rest of the season.
Actually his line has been horrible and they finally have a ground game going so they should start to turn it around but he is not worth holding onto at this point but I did keep Woods and of course Kupp (he will certainly will come back).

I need Kelce and Hunter to combine for over 30 points top save my ass this week! I'm doomed.

I'm sorely disappointed in Carolina's D as well as I kept them over San fran earlier in the season. damn I screwed the pooch on that call. Brissett looked great, i may grab him or carr to replace Goff (I'm thinking of snagging mayfield just for Miami next week).

I'll call KC with the under as well on this one.

I also have the Chiefs. But -3 on the 1st half, however. This is beginning to appear like a mistake hehehe. I should have taken the full game -4 for almost the same odds.

[rdbase]

From the looks at the start of the game the chiefs are going to screw this game up too.
Rams are ahead by 3 the first quarter and in their last game mahomes was not what everybody thought he would be like being off the ir.
Just glad didnt put anything on this game cause lost due to missed field goals. Which they could of won the game and screwing them both up in the final frame.

[bbc.reporter]

@rdbase. I do not know how loved Philip Rivers is, however, the Chargers are sentimental on his retirement and they might be inspired by this.

Those articles on the Chargers and Rivers might also be clickbait hehehehe.

[nutildah]

Now that was a game! Exciting down to the last minute. Too bad Rivers threw that INT at the end. Now I can see why Mahomes is so liked by his fantasy holders -- this was the first KC game I watched this year and he's an exciting player to watch. He can run, he can pass, he can evade the blitz, he can do it all.

I'll call KC with the under as well on this one.

Good call here.

I need Kelce and Hunter to combine for over 30 points top save my ass this week! I'm doomed.

I think you may have got them -- did you? I had Henry and Gordon. Henry hit his projected and Gordon was a bit shy of it, but I still managed to get the win, putting me firmly in 1st in my division... Definitely going to our playoffs at this point.

I also have the Chiefs. But -3 on the 1st half, however. This is beginning to appear like a mistake hehehe. I should have taken the full game -4 for almost the same odds.

Yep full game at -4 would have yielded you some coin.
