CSUN was 3.5 favorite at home last night to Cal State Bakersfield and lost outright.

 

Okay…

Ravens -2.5 First half
49ers O29.5 points.

SGP. I usually avoid these. But …
Ravens O23.5 points
Lamar O66 rushing yards
Mahomes O27 rushing yards
+500

Ravens -2.5 first half
Chiefs +1.5 second half
under 13.5 4th quarter total
+600

 

Ex, when you get to your gambling state, I want you to bet for me. For real.

 

Last year I tried an experiment by putting small ($5) futures bets on most of the legit contenders once the playoff picture started to become clear around Week 17. I like to have fun with the Super Bowl and put most of my budget on props, so I figured having those futures bets in the bag was basically betting the money line with plus-odds and then I wouldn't have to worry about betting the actual game.
Did the same thing this year. Got the game covered, but I'm not going to make any money on it. If the Lions or Chiefs win I'll break even. I bet the Ravens and 49ers as a hedge and will lose a little bit if they win. But hey, I can spend an extra $20 on prop bets, right?

 

1-4 ATS in their last five. LOL.

Current hottest teams ATS (5-0 in last five) are Richmond (can't bet them since I'm in Virginia), Western Michigan, Bryant, and Valparaiso.

Today: Western Michigan is -3.5 at home against Central Michigan. Both are 5-2 in the MAC.
Valpo is +3.5 at home against Missouri State.
Bryant is +1.5 at home against Vermont. Both teams are 5-0 in the America East.
Richmond is +3.5 at home against Dayton. Both teams are 6-0 in the A-10.

 

@exmediahack, DM if you want to hear my idea.

 

Western Michigan L
Valpo L
Bryant L
Richmond W

Long story short, seems wise to fade anyone on a hot ATS streak.

Also, my fun bad beat story of the day from yesterday. Grabbed Cal Baptist-Stephen F Austin O160.5 live at halftime. It got to 81-79 with 1:12 left. Need just one point. The final 1:12 featured two missed free throws, two missed jumpers and SFA failing to get a shot off on its final possession. Yay.

 

Viva our second period pals, the Islanders & Senators! I had a $5 bonus bet to use last night so I parlayed Senators-Rangers & Islanders-Panthers all scoring in the second period. And they did!

 

Off my picks, be glad to didn’t ride em!
