Gambling Thread

For NFL, I took:
• Falcons -3 vs. Steelers
• Vikings-Giants U41.5 — Figuring two crappy quarterbacks aren't going to light the world on fire
• Bills -6 vs. Cardinals — Seems like it should be a blowout (famous last words, I know)
• Texans -2.5 at Colts — I just don't think the Colts are that good, especially not once Anthony Richardson gets his required second-quarter concussion
• Buccaneers -3.5 vs. Commanders — Going against the rookie QB playing a decent team
• Cowboys +120 ML at Browns — I think they call this the "2 1/2 Trap" theory. If you like a team to cover +2.5 points, just go ahead and take them on the money line.

 

So how much money was won and lost on Isaiah Likely's toe?
Ravens were +3 and were going to go for two, so one way or another they covered if the call stood and didn't when it was overturned.

 

Yup. I said that in the newsroom. Probably $500m turned on that one play.

 

Plus the total, too. In game it was generally between 47-51.

 

The only thing I took last night was the DK promotion for either a Henry or Kelce TD boosted from -350 to +100. Thankfully that hit in the first seven minutes.

 

I took that and the boosts for 7+ points in the first quarter and over 50 yards rushing for Lamar and Mahomes combined. Easy sailing.

 

Yes, I appreciate DK paying for my night out tomorrow with those promos.

 

Noon CFB parlay:
Syracuse +3 (home to Georgia Tech)
Michigan-Texas over 41.5
Penn State-Bowling Green over 49.5

 

How anybody can bet college football is beyond me.

 

I dunno, but that bad boy hit. Thank you Michigan for the garbage time TD!

 

I am mostly staying off the first two weeks with the portal and NIL the weird variables.

Feeling great about:
Kansas U8.5 wins
Vanderbilt O2.5
Michigan U8.5
SMU U8.5
Arkansas U4.5. That.. was close.

Still like
Texas U10.5. They’ll find the banana peel.
