I was 1/5 betting this week and I'm like 3/15 in my last picks so I'm done for a few weeks. I've clearly lost my touch.

It definitely goes in swings. Using a small bet strategy similar to others here, where I'd bet at most at one time maybe $20 or $30 (with the occasional $75 bet sprinkled in), I was up almost $500 last college basketball season. Then once I started to believe my own hype, I began throwing money around like I was Jimmy The Greek. After I began my $100 and $200 bets, I ended the season $300 down, culminating in that humiliating Michigan loss at the hands of Penn State.

Yeah, I rarely go against a home dog, especially if its over a score (ie, more than 3 so the winning team isnt in score mode if they are up a FG). But this one is probably a pretty good bet. Lewis had me worried, Tuel a lot less.

helpful tip- never pick the cowboys to beat the spread when they are favorites.

Ill jinx my own bet with this post, but oh well.

I believe they are the worst HOME favorite ATS in the last 8 years in the NFL.

Helpful tip Cowboys are 7-1 against the spread this year and in their 4 wins this year they have won by 5, 24, 15, and 14.

  • The Cowboys are 2-7 ATS in their last nine home games against losing teams
  • At home in 2012, Cowboys were 1-7-0 ATS
  • At home in 2011, Cowboys were 3-4-1 ATS
  • Dallas is 5-10-0 in their last 15 games at home ATS
They are having a good half season, ATS...but history shows not to trust them. Minny was the correct pick today by Pick6.

Lol not over yet... I'd love a Ponder pick 6 right about now. But overall I'm happy the Cowboys should pull out a win.

Semi-related.

Will the Chiefs be the biggest underdogs ever for a team unbeaten, (especially this late in the year), in 2 weeks vs. Denver???

Yes. I see them being 6-7.5 point underdogs.

Yeah I most likely will be as well. Alex Smith can't throw the ball down field and that is the way to beat/stay with the Broncos.

If you took the Bucs at +16.5 looking pretty good so far lol.

I usually do 3 early games and then if I am up do late game. This week, as you see from my post, I liked 2 of the late games. Of course, I was 2-0 when the late games started cause damn WAS/SD went OT. So I took all 5 of those bets I posted lol. 3/3 so far at least.

Haha nice man. I should have taken the Bucs +16.5 but just couldn't do it. I think you'll finish 5/5 on the day.
