Anybody here bet on Football?


Every week I pick 5 teams against the spread and bet 10$ with 20-1 odds. I had a rough start the first 2 weeks of the NFL season, but I think I have a winner this week.

My picks this week are:

New York Jets -3 vs. Tennessee
New York Giants -7.5 @ Tampa Bay
San Francisco +7.5 @ Minnesota
Chicago -2.5 @ Seattle
Pittsburgh -4 @ Cincinnati

What do you guys think?

Looks pretty good. The only one I would be worried about is the Jets vs. Titans. I have a feeling the Titans are going to pull this one out. It's pretty much a must win for them.

Yeah that's the one I'm worried about. I broke my number 1 rule on sports betting, never bet on your favorite team. GO JETS!

Don't get me wrong, I think the Jets are really solid this year, and could easily win that game. It's just the game I think is the one to worry about.

Toughest game will be the Jets, but the way they handled my patriots I can't doubt them too much. Seattle might be able to pull it off too even without Hasselbeck. Steelers will not lose to bengals, will have more INTs than touchdowns, but Jeff Reed will not miss 2 FG's less than 45 yards again. Ruined my ESPN streak last week missing those. Do you bet on football on Bodog or is it through a person you know?

doesn't matter who you pick. pull 4 names from a hat and you'll have just as good of chance of winning. handicappers are that good. they are almost always spot on the spread.

I've used Sportsbook before, but I usually just play Parlay cards.

Yep, 4 out of 5 last week. Cinci scoring that TD with 15 seconds left cost me $200.

Oh well, I'll be back at this weekend.

4-0 this week.

It's always a good feeling to know there's a wad of money waiting for you at the bar.

Good win Goooool!
A lot of big spreads in the NFL this week, I might have to pick more college games. Hopefully I can stay hot with my picks, I'm 8-1 ATS in the past 2 weeks.

I'm stopping at the bar on my way home from work to pick up money from last weekend's win.
