I tend to skip the MNF matchup but I somewhat like the odds coming from the Patriots when the Cardinals continue to struggle at home with a 1-6 record. I took the Patriots' spread at -2.5 because even though they lost 2 in a row these past few weeks it's still against good teams. Also, the Cardinals already disappointed me the last time I backed them up and I don't think I can rely on them anytime soon.

Didn't know the Cardinals were that bad even playing on their home field and having the advantage, according to the odds they are the favorites.
It is strange because when I placed my bets for yesterday's last match of the day with the Dolphins, they were the favorites and all the sportscasters when they have their choices before every game chose Miami too.
So the odds and the favorites certainly doesn't mean they will win, even with the majority of these so called experts who watch and follow each and every match played in the NFL don't select the right team.
I was going to go with Patriots at the start of the day but have since choose to go with Murray with over 1.5 touchdowns instead.

I just don't trust these teams to win when everybody else says they are a lock to win.

The odds can be viewed here - Patriots 1.74x / Cardinals 2.15x :

The game was close during the first half and it looked like the Cardinals were in a good spot to secure their second home win but the second half was so disastrous they turned the ball over multiple times and gave the Patriots to pull away with the win.

Murray with over 1.5 touchdowns instead.

I also had this prop bet in mind as i've seen a lot of gamblers going for it but i'm surprised that the Cards decided to go for Colt McCoy which killed the Murray props instantly. Some bookies even gave out some free bets as compensation for that bad loss.

@ralle14
Kyler Murray couldn't get those props of touchdowns because he went down right at the start of the game.
He ran from the pocket and twisted his knee on the play without being touched. It was a strange way to go down and that is the reason why McCoy came in on the second or third play of the game.
It is just a waste of a bet when this happens at nearly the start of the game.

Thanks for filling me in there, and it's unfortunate for the Cards as it looks like he'll be out for the rest of the season and maybe even longer.

Also good to see that the TNF giveaway is back this week and the under might be the play for this game when the Niners' defense is on a roll and held the Bucs within 7 points.

You were on point with your predictions with the 49ers holding their opponents to make it a low scoring game.
The San Francisco 49ers quarterback is holding his own against the likes of Tom Brady and now Geno Smith who was ranked #1 in the league for passing completions.
https://www.seattletimes.com/sports/seahawks/geno-smith-closing-in-on-rare-season-completing-70-of-his-passes-for-seahawks

So that is twice in a row for this rookie quarterback who surprisingly has done very well to take on the role after Jimmy Garoppolo was injured.
They managed to clinch their division with the win last night.

[ralle14]

I forgot there would be games this Saturday and luckily I missed the Vikings game since they're currently getting crushed by the Colts and trailing by 30 points.

On the  Browns vs Ravens game, I've taken the under 39.5 since the Ravens don't have Lamar and they've been scoring way less recently. The only bad part is that all of the games in Cleveland have gone over 40 points but i'll rely on the defense of both teams and hopefully, they burn a lot of time before scoring.

[rdbase]

^^
Those Vikings came back from being down 33-0 in the middle of the third quarter to beat the Colts.
It was the biggest comeback in NFL history and it was something to behold as Cousins the Minnesota quarterback didn't even realize until a reporter mentioned it to him right before doing the post game interview.

Another bet that you won! The Browns match ended 13-3 so the under was there. Baltimore are struggling without their first string QB Lamar.

Wasn't it strange to have games playing on a Saturday? I am thinking it is because of the holidays so they had to squeeze in as many as they could before next weekend.

That comeback was unreal from the Vikings and that stings for the Colts bettors but at least they covered the spread though.

The Browns game went as expected and kept the streak alive, I got the Falcons +6 as my next pick and bought a bunch of points in case we see another OT match as they won't be fielding their usual QB after their close losses but their last meeting a few months ago came down within a point.

For me, the Saturday games were a bit strange as I thought it'd happen next week but it makes sense if they need to schedule more games in between.

Edit: Falcons lost but they kept it close and cover the spread with a decent second half recovery.  

[rdbase]

There were three matches this past weekend which were stand outs in anyone's opinion:
Jacksonville where they ran it all the way back for a TD to win the game.
Las Vegas for the very last play of the game New England had possession but gave it away and Raiders ran it in for a TD for the win.
And of course the Vikings as you had mentioned in Minnesota where they were down 33 points to bring it all the way back to win.

Christmas eve and day have matches being played in the NFL so it should be a festive holiday season for all American Football fans.

There were three matches this past weekend which were stand outs in anyone's opinion:

There's also the Bucs vs Bengals game where the Bucs fumbled their 17-3 lead in the first half as the Bengals came to life and scored 30+ points in the second half to steal the win.  

Moving on to the upcoming TNF match i've gone for the Jags over 1.5 field goals made since there's no value on the match winner market as both teams can easily win with how they're performing so far. The under could've been a good play if it stayed around 40 but it seems too low atm since the Jags don't have a great defense.

[rdbase]

For the matchup tonight between the Jets and the Jags I chose Trevor Lawrence to score over 1.5 touchdowns.
Made the bet the other day along with a dota2 match we were talking about on the esports topic:


Because what they did to the Cowboys was too good not to be hyped about this game and not score some more.

[rdbase]

Alot of games being played over the weekend for Christmas eve and day for a full schedule to see who advances in their division.
Here are all the matches being played along with their odds:


All these games can be bet on at the following link:

[ralle14]

I rarely make a bunch of bets but i'm liking some of the favorites lined up this week, first Bengals @1.64 the Patriots continue to regress and I don't think it'll stop anytime soon here. The Lions @1.71 are my second pick mainly because of their streak and a win here slowly increases their chances in the playoffs. Then my last pick is on the Vikings -2.5, at home they currently are 7-1 and the Giants already struggled against winning teams like the Cowboys and Eagles so I doubt the Vikings would drop this one.

[rdbase]

The first and the last predictions for the matches you selected did win so congratulations on your wins for those.
The only one which didn't hit were the Lions as they were the surprise game that were played yesterday getting slammed early on by Carolina Panthers.
Vikings came out on top by 3 points so a close one there for your pick but it did manage to make it out on top.
Bengals were the only real solid win from the matches I placed bets on along with the Chiefs.

Today we have three games all separated by several hours so don't have to switch channels every few minutes to see how your picks are doing.

https://sportsbet.io/sports/american-football/matches/today

[ralle14]

Yup, went 2-1 on yesterday's picks and today my predictions have been abysmal currently 0-2. Took the Dolphins in the first game they nearly had the win if it weren't for Tua throwing the ball back to the Packers multiple times. Then I went for the Broncos on the next which is most likely a loss at this point since their defense can't force a punt.  

For the Bucs game, I'll be going with a prop pick on Brady o1.5 passing touchdowns @1.57 since he's constantly getting two aside from that recent loss against the Niners which is understandable as those guys have the best D in the league.

Edit: Looks like i'm about to go 0-3 with how the Bucs offense is performing atm. 

[rdbase]

From the looks of the score it was 3-3 when I turned it off as I had Brady at over 1.5 touchdowns too.
I think he only had one because it ended in a 19-16 score and they were driving down the field then I checked the next day it said OT so only a field goal.
Brady doesn't perform like he usually does closer to the end of the season.
So bye bye Brady for this season?
Atleast his new gf is showing her appreciation for him during the holidays.

Anyways, we have the Titans vs the Cowboys for tomorrows matchup right before New Years begins:
https://sportsbet.io/sports/event/american-football/usa/nfl/tennessee-titans-v-dallas-cowboys-63a25d2c532086a46f036e9f

[ralle14]

I'm pounding the Cowboys here, the Titans might have a decent record but their lineup is looking atrocious as a bunch of their starting players won't be playing and the others are still listed as questionable.

I went for a Betbuilder play since I prefer taking the team total as the Cowboys will most likely put up a lot of points similar to their previous games. It should've been three legs but the first half spread isn't available.

So bye bye Brady for this season?

That would be interesting if the Panthers suddenly finishes at the top of their division but I don't think Brady would let that happen.

[rdbase]

Also will be going with Dallas tonight but the ML is very bad and not worth it to take alone.
So the betbuilder would be the better choice when placing your bet on this match.
Tennessee aren't looking good at all and even Henry I believe is out of the lineup so you know they will lacking their best players for this match too.
Think I will take a Dallas win with Dak passing over 1.5 touchdowns and the over on points too.

Every team is looking better than the Buccs right now.
They only score on average about 20 or less a game. And that can't help them if they even make it into the post season.
