Middle Buffalo Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 (edited) I don't gamble on sports outside of confidence pools & fantasy football. And both things have made me like football much less. I can't even imagine betting on some of these events you pick. This thread is fascinating. Good luck. I think I'd go crazy with the ups and downs you have. Edited January 6, 2018 by Middle Buffalo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pettie4sox Posted January 6, 2018 Author Share Posted January 6, 2018 QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Jan 6, 2018 -> 01:57 PM) What do you like about the Titans? For me it's more about the line than the Titans. The Chiefs don't really blow out teams, they beat them by a score. The playoff atmosphere is intense, and with that I see a low scoring game, (13-21 Chiefs) or something along those lines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pettie4sox Posted January 6, 2018 Author Share Posted January 6, 2018 I think the Falcons have value. They have playoff experience while the Rams do not. They are the defending NFC champs. I wouldn't take them straight up but the line was 6 when I last saw it. I could really see if the Falcons lose, it's by a FG otherwise they will win outright.

Soxbadger Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 Id say Falcons and Titans as well due to lines. But thats 2 away teams... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pettie4sox Posted January 7, 2018 Author Share Posted January 7, 2018 (edited) Taking Falcons +6. Falcons are battle hardened. Bovada had the better line! Even money $100 to win $100! Edited January 7, 2018 by KagakuOtoko Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pettie4sox Posted January 7, 2018 Author Share Posted January 7, 2018 (edited) QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Jan 6, 2018 -> 07:41 PM) Why? Because that is some serious juice you are throwing at that line. You have to bet $250 to win $100. If you lose, that is is a significant hit. You say Titans to cover instead, you lose 110 versus 250. Edited January 7, 2018 by KagakuOtoko Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamshack Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Jan 6, 2018 -> 05:41 PM) Why?

pettie4sox Posted January 7, 2018 Author Share Posted January 7, 2018 (edited) Ok here's a synopsis of the day. Both later NCAA games went over Titans covered Falcons covered New Zealand Breakers covered Kings/Nuggets did not cover =( and literally by a hair.

pettie4sox Posted January 7, 2018 Author Share Posted January 7, 2018 Bills +9. Both teams inexperienced. Jags are pretenders. I was tempted to take Bills outright, but this is the safer play. -120 ~ $120 to win $100 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
