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.

However, the Cowboys have won their slot in the post season already. They might not want to risk some players getting injuries by playing very hard for this game, I reckon. Also, do the Titans still have the chance to get their own playoff slot? They will be playing much harder to get it. The handicap of +13.5 for the Titans might be more than covered.

Buccaneers presently have a distracted Brady. Divorced by his wife and $650 million of his money in the blackhole created by Sam Bankrupt-Fried hehehe.

I do believe the Titans still have a chance to make it further against the Jags even though their back quarterback couldn't beat Prescott in their last game.
Every time I turned it back to the game the Cowboys were on their 10 yard line and scored either by a running play or a Dak pass into the endzone.
They are done.

About Brady and the Buccs they are going against the Panthers this Sunday along with a whole lot of another teams to ring in the New Year.
Here are the 14 games being played for the first day of the year:

A lot of home favorites this week, i'll go with a small play on the Jags and Lions both ML for a total odds of 2.21. The Jags should continue to roll with their explosive offense and the Texans haven't won a game at home.

The Lions also need a win and I think they'll likely get it against the Bears since they took down a much tougher team like the Vikings in their last home game. I'm avoiding the spread since they always like to give up points and their last meeting ended up with a 30-31 scoreline.

For the later games, i'm leaning on the Jets as I think they'll be more desperate to break their streak and the over in GB as both of these teams have a solid offense but don't have the best defense.

Wanting to go with the Lions as there are alot of teams resting or just taking out their first starters for quarterback in today's matches (Tua for Dolphins and Hurts for Eagles are the two I have heard so far) and Carr for Vegas will be out for the remainder of the season for some other reasons.
So Detroit for me seem to be the secure choice as well. With Chicago being dismal in their performance as a football squad.
The match starts in about 45 minutes and can be seen here:
https://sportsbet.io/sports/event/american-football/usa/nfl/detroit-lions-v-chicago-bears-63a25d5e532086d2ba04f49a

Haven't picked for the later games but New York Jets seem also to be a good team to bet for the ML.

Both of our tickets should cash as the Jags and Lions are already up by a lot and they just need to close it out. 

I'm less confident about the Jets game though as I think their defense must step up for them to win and I still can't forget how their defense looked flat and couldn't stop the Jags in their last game.

With that said, i'll take the over 47.5 on the Packers/Vikings game and expect both sides to put up points.

Buccaneers presently have a distracted Brady. Divorced by his wife and $650 million of his money in the blackhole created by Sam Bankrupt-Fried hehehe.

Brady bunch didn't have an issue today even being down almost for three full quarters he managed to score two late touchdowns from what I remember being hail mary type passes into the endzone.
Could of sworn he did the same think a couple of weeks ago when the Buccs were down by atleast 14+ points.
I am to assume his new girlfriend is treating him just fine.

Yes both picks did hit!
Thanks for the heads up advice on those two teams and your shared betslip @ralle14 !
A very good start to the new year with a solid over 2x odds win in the NFL is always a welcomed sight on these threads.

Jets were the dud and glad I stayed away from them and the Vikings were blown out as well by the Packers.

Lone game for tomorrow then we don't have any matches for about a week until January 8th:
https://sportsbet.io/sports/event/american-football/usa/nfl/cincinnati-bengals-v-buffalo-bills-63a25d5f8a9f5592b57e7af5

This one is a another tough one to decide so might as well just go for the O/U on points.

I agree, both teams are at the top of the standings and the Bengals are only one game behind the Bills.

Only putting a small bet on the under 50.5 only because it's a tight matchup, even though both teams can score i'll rely on the Bills to control the pace since they've been decent on the road for the most part, maintaining the totals below 50.

I tend to agree on the under here.  Logic says these 2 offenses are going to try to blow open the scoring but the opposite usually happens.  I can see a 23-17 type of game here with no team wanting to make a critical mistake or give up field position.  Think I'm taking the under here too tonight.

Game was in the 1st quarter when tragedy struck Damar Hamlin of the Buffalo Bills to the point the game had to be abandoned.
His agent keeps updates about his condition with his last tweet about 1/2 hour ago:
https://twitter.com/jordonr/status/1610199035587055616?cxt=HHwWgMC-3bvfydgsAAAA

Original tweet: https://twitter.com/jordonr/status/1610116502845558784

It was a sad day and all they want right now are those to pray for his recovery of this tragic event.
All players from both teams were brought to their knees and could not continue on even if he was in okay condition at the hospital.
I was watching the game and it is something that you don't forget as many announcers have said something like this they had never seen before in their 30 years of covering the NFL.

Game was in the 1st quarter when tragedy struck Damar Hamlin of the Buffalo Bills to the point the game had to be abandoned.

Good thing the NFL postponed it for good because initially there were tweets saying that the NFL wanted to continue the game. I can't imagine having to play after watching someone nearly lose their life.

Also no TNF this week but we'll have a bunch of Saturday games though, eyeing the over on the Raiders vs Chiefs game.

[rdbase]

^^
Yes ralle14 they couldn't continue a game like that because of the mood had undertones that night of shock as the crowd was struck silent and the players wouldn't want to play a game while their friend and some even referred to him as their own family member was critical in hospital because of this.

The report that watched that night was the fans reaction to what they just witnessed and one even said it felt just plain wrong to proceed with the game:
https://www.bbc.com/news/health-64154445

Atleast he's condition is improving a bit. He is not 100% reliant on an machine for oxygen and is at 50% as of now.
The updates of his progress for those who want to follow can be done from here:
https://www.cnn.com/2023/01/04/football/damar-hamlin-collapse-bills-status-wednesday/index.html

Yes, no Thursday night football this week and the next game is on Sunday.
The giveaway is just above yours and if your prepared to be in the mood to watch any football then you can enter in on then.
I had but don't know if I will be able o sit threw an entire game until more news is available on the Hamlin's condition with more improvement
Godspeed be with him and his health condition with his family members by his side.


Update on Hamlin's condition by an NFL Insider 45 minutes ago is huge to the NFL and the sporting world as a whole!

And 30 minutes ago it was announced on air live:

While watching the Raiders vs Chiefs game since Damar's condition has improved since the last message from his agent and coach.
He was able to send out his first message on social media which was instagram and then it was tweeted by ESPN on twitter about 1/2 hour ago while this match is still playing. This is where it was shown for everybody to view and had about 8k likes since.

https://twitter.com/espn/status/1611850131241897986

Certainly great news about his status and his spirits are kept high from the news of how much his toy drive raised since he was in the hospital from $3,000 all the way to $6.9 million the last time I checked the amount of donations from people all over the world including NFL players such as Tom Brady, Russell Wilson and Robert Kraft of around $10,000 each.

Next match for tonight is Titans vs Jaguars:

While watching the Raiders vs Chiefs game since Damar's condition has improved since the last message from his agent and coach.

That's great to see and recently I also saw a bunch of posts coming from different NFL teams showing support for him. 

For the bets and predictions, I only placed this bet builder for now since I expect the Eagles to dump a lot of points just to secure that first-round seed, and the Giants will likely not take this match seriously as there's no reason for them to play for a win when they've already locked their spot for the playoffs.



Also looking forward to the Packers vs Lions game later today, as both teams are desperate to get a win so they could advance to the playoffs but the Lions will first need an upset coming from the Rams to keep their hopes alive. That said, I'll probably back the Packers spread since they're much better at home and in their last game they were successful at stopping a top-seed Vikings team.

Each and every match today had a tribute to Damar Hamlin and a wishing of a speedy recovery because he is still in critical condition before they began their games. That is pretty moving and very good of the league to allow such display of brotherhood that his fellow players display show support to their fallen friend. Each 30 yard line had the #3 in bills colors to show that they recognize he is watching the games while in the hospital.

As for the games, I had Cowboys to win today and they got hammered so badly it wasn't funny one bit. 26-6 is not a scoreline a team like Dallas should have against a rookie quarterback.
Seahawks match was probably the most exciting match to watch today with it going into OT all because of a missed field goal that hit the uprights.
All the others were in the hands of the favorites.

Packers are looking strong against the Lions after the first half has just ended. They will take it so to solidify their place in the playoffs.

Sportsbet.io 🏈 Super Wild Card Weekend 🏈 Giveaway
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5433647.0

[rdbase]

Two match-ups in the NFL today starting with the San Francisco 49ers up against Seattle Seahawks.
I watched the seahawks last game and they are a very good team but the 49ers are on another level with their offense.
So it is a tough one to figure out who will win but of course the 49ers are the favorites playing at home.


The last match-up are the red hot Jacksonville Jaguars vs Los Angeles Chargers.
Liked Jags in this one but something tells me Justin Hebert will make it tough for Trevor Lawrence in this battle for a wild card spot.
https://sportsbet.io/sports/american-football/matches/today

[ralle14]

The first match should be an expected win for the 49ers as their defense will be more than enough to hold off the Seahawks offense and give enough room for their offense to control the game. I'll go with a small play on the -9.5 handicap since i've been having issues when it comes to teams covering several points.

I agree the Jags vs Chargers game will be very close as both teams have solid offense so the over might be the best play or team totals(only available once the game is live).

Seattle really surprising the 49ers in the first half leading by 1 point.
As soon when the clouds parted and the sun came out then the seahawks started playing better than they did in the first quarter as it was looking like a steamrolling of them early.
They have just been able to get mostly field goals but now are starting strong in the second half, so hopefully they will continue to do so for the rest of the game.
This one will be a high scoring one for sure.
The Jaguars and the Chargers will probably be the opposite where if their offense aren't clicking early on with atleast a big score in the first quarter than that will pretty much show what the rest of the game will be.

Good luck with your predictions!

I was also surprised by that last minute play from the Seahawks and the 49ers' defense got a bit sloppy giving enough yards for the Seahawks to attempt a field goal. Brutal loss to everyone expecting the 49ers to lead at halftime including me. 

Now the Jags are already off to a bad start turning the ball over and the Chargers secured that TD easily to lead the first quarter 0-7.
