Its going to be a close end to the Broncos/Jaguars game, I'm really hoping that the Jags can hold on for the win as they have played well to fight their way back into the game in the third quarter and now I just need them to hold on for the win to collect my parlay.

Damn what an insane ending to the game, congrats!
I thought it was over for you after that Denver/Flacco final drive 5/5 despite the 10yard penalty.
Your parlay with 27 odds total is the early nominee for bet of the year we share here. I honestly don't think anyone will match it soon. Impressive!

So many away team wins today/week4 games - 11 total with Cowboys having a chance to make it 12. Maybe i should go with Bengals tomorrow?  
Lol @Rams getting spanked at home (Goff 3 INT), at least i'm still perfect for the weekly poll. Bears 16:6 MIN with Trubisky out early in the 1st.

Yeah mate that was insane, to be honest with you I was very nervous once the Broncos scored and went ahead 24-23 and thought I would lose by 1 point. Thanks mate as I didn't know there was bet of the year, I don't think I'll top that, I also won the same parlay betting with AceDBets but I didn't have the Giants and Chargers in that but still won over 7700 AceD coins from an outlay of 500 AceD coins. So it was a great day for me.

Damn, where does he get his info!

Whoops, almost! Well as the Twitter comments said, hopefully he hedged it, if it wasn't fake. One thing about putting down an $0.89 bet it means you probably don't have much capital to do a whole lot of hedging.

New poll up:

09/29 4:25 PM

[271] MINNESOTA
[272] CHICAGO      

Conventional wisdom proved correct last time (1 for 3), will it strike again?

I like Minnesota in this game.  It all hinges on dalvin cook and if he can get going against the bears defense, if not they will have a tough time in the air.  One thing that puzzles me is digg's, dude is a monster and just hasn't put up the numbers yet.  I expect a big game soon from him too

Good thing I didnt throw anything on this one lol.  NFL is so tough to bet.  Who had the bucs dropping 55 on the rams, in Los Angeles!  That was definately the upset of the week.  Next week looking forward to see what the giants can do, redskins were not a good test everyone is gonna beat up on that team this year.  Danny dimes looks like the real deal

Word. I think NFL has got to be just about _the_ hardest league sport to bet. So many factors to make the outcome unpredictable. I sure as hell would have never picked the Buccaneers to beat the Rams! At least my fantasy team won...

[vella85]

For tonight's game I'm leaning more towards the Bengals as the road teams have won so far on Monday night football. I don't like the spread at +3.5 so I might just go with the Bengals at the money line. Good luck to the ones betting tonight.

Dam...that was a rough game.  Steelers with 8 sacks, dalton never had a chance.  There run game still looks weak.  I just think the bengals look that bad.  Between the redskins, bengals and the miami there is gonna be a real battle for the first draft pick next year lol.  Week 5 up next!

[nutildah]

New poll up!

[301] LA RAMS
[302] SEATTLE

The line opened at 0 - 0 on some books but has since shifted to -1.5 or -2 Seattle on most.

I am partial to the Rams. Ah shit I just noticed this game is the Thursday game!!

OK well you have 2 days to vote, have at it! 

[South Park]

I am against a season of 17 games, despite the changes on the rules to try to protect players, especially the quarterbacks, during the season we have seen an important number of them to be injured and it is only week four, besides the preseason is useful to see many of the rookie players and how they perform against an higher level of competition, and finally adding another game to the season seems like an attempt to help players break records that seem unbreakable right now and I do not like that kind of stats inflation.

There will also be stats that are tougher to break like undefeated seasons. I think the reason for increasing the season is for all teams to play outside the country so that it is a business decision on expanding the game rather than having any focus on stats. Also each team would play one game outside the country so that should in theory effect them all similarly as far as the jet lag effect goes.

What they should be doing IMO is expanding the team size if they are going to extend the season as they will need more depth. But who is to say whether removing pre season and expanding the regular season will result in more or less injuries. i would postulate there will be more injuries in high value players but less injuries overall.

From a business point of view it makes sense to have more games and I understand the desire of the NFL to try to expand its popularity to other countries, but when it comes to the records, some records will be harder to break but I speculate that the majority will be way easier, just look at Pat Mahomes if you give him another game then he could surpass Peyton Manning's record of 5477 of yards and 55 TD very easily and at some point he will probably throw for 6000 yards and 60 touchdowns in a season and it is likely that throwing 5000 yards will become the new standard for quarterbacks.

New poll up!

I'm registering a vote for my Seahawks.

Rams fucked my parlay with Goff throwing 3 interceptions, Gurley with just 5 carries for 16 yards. The lack of defensive effort yesterday allowing Bucs to score 55pts has to be very concerning coming into an early week5 game. That's why i'm giving the Seahawks a slight advantage.

Btw, I just caught on a podcast that the Rams are 1-4 or 1-5 against the spread on Thursday night.

Teams dont play more than 1 maybe 2 games on a thursday so the record on Thursdays dont mean much because it depends on the opponent and the team construct in a particular year.  Some stats just dont matter that much.

For me I am on the rams for this game, you can bet the rams defense is going to get their act straight after a game like that against the bucs. I'm on the rams this week.  Kupp, woods and cooks each with a td this week, 30-20 rams win my guess

Well I did end up going with the Bengals at the money line as I thought they were in with a big chance to win this game but as you said the Bengals looked bad and I'm not sure if they will be any good all season. The Redskins are okay and not as bad as the Dolphins and Bengals so I think it will be out of these two who get the first draft pick.

True but all changes have been helping QB's. Hell they pulled Foles (iiRc it was the next week!) so he wouldn't break Mannings 7 Td record so take all these records with a little bit of salt.

Peyton has been Coddled by the league since day 1.


Rams/Seagulls will be a great game I think and I believe Goff should bounce back as he was starting to look good with his Kupp and woods connections finally. He still need to get his Cooks timing down again and stop throwing to the wrong team.

SeaGulls TE really looks like he's the real deal, Reincarnation of graham. Dissly should open up Locket and moore as well a Carson. A strong TE can be a massive bullet for a team.

Just be careful, Seahawks at home are always tough to beat and traditionally Goff is not that good away from his home stadium.  In different leagues I have a combination of golf, cup, and cooks so it might be a tough week for me.  Hoping you are right and Goff has a good game but that hawks stadium is fierce

Yeah I'm undecided for tomorrow nights game so I might just stay out unless I see something I like. Well I'll be trying to back up this week after having a great week last week hitting that parlay, not sure if I'll take as many this week and try for a 4 leg parlay.

Yeah, its a total gamble.
But thats how I roll.

I am partial to the Rams. Ah shit I just noticed this game is the Thursday game!!

I'm also leaning on the Rams I lost a bunch of times from taking the Seahawks before and it seems like the same scenario once again if I take them knowing it's their game to lose they would still somehow let me down.

I might get the over depending on the line as both teams doesn't have a hard time in scoring expecting this match to end between 46-50.

[vella85]

I went with the over in tonight's game as I'm expecting a high scoring game with both teams having good offence. I'm still undecided to bet on to win, I did vote for the Seahawks in the poll as that's the team I'm leaning to however I am seeing a lot of money coming for the Rams at the money line and also to cover the spread so I'm waiting to see if the Seahawks odds blow out a bit and then I might have a bet on them. 

[mich]

Tonight was a great game and CONGRATS for the LA RAMS backers 1.5 with RAMS losing 30-29.
This sport AMERICAN FOOTBALL is so tricky for my to handicap.  The scores are so close to being what the bookies place it.

[Harvin]

Cleveland hope is to real at x14 they have a average defence and a terrible o-line should be more around x30
