I like those points Washington is getting.Comment -
Don’t you hate when people comment on games making rash judgements without even watching games
I had this one dude text me all pissed off saying my Vanderbilt pick was horrible a few weeks ago when they played Florida when it was one of the worst bad beats I’d ever seen....
Injuries are friggin unpredictable and special teams is diceyComment -
Honestly don't know why I didn't just play pats. Actually parlayed them w total even tho I only posted total, when I went to bet and saw they were under a fg at home I was shocked. Clearly they were the much better play but still mindboggling to me atl wasn't able to score any freaking points, I really didn't watch much of it so can't really say why their offense was so horrible??Comment -
Don't love the coaching staff and their secondary has some serious holes. Still think they a contender mostly because playing in the afc south where looks like 9-7 or 10-6 at best will win that division.
Imo Houston still the class of the division, jags have certainly improved but I don't buy bortles. Texans finally have a qb and for my money they have been a super bowl type roster for several years just missing the trigger man. I don't think watt being gone that big a deal, they played elite defense without him last season and think they will again after adjusting to life without him.
Long as fournette gets healthy and remains that way honestly think titans 3rd behind Texans and jags at this point.Comment -
Is skins other corner playing? I know Norman out but if the other guy (his name slipping my mind at moment) is only out then man are they short on secondary depth.. if healthy that one of places skins have a advantage over philly, I think front 7s both really good, both olines solid, I think wentz has done a better job gelling w his new pieces than cousins has his.
Skins really need pryior to start playing like he did in Cleveland, eventually teams gonna take away all those yac yards their little scat back been getting. Skins also need to give doctson more playing time imo. Kid looks like most explosive playmaker they have at wr but only playing roughly 40% of snaps and not being targeted nearly enough. I saw bovado up to +6 which really tempting, only reason I have a money there is for mainly player props but every now and then they have fat line on a dog!Comment -
Skins +6 -115 (1.5x)Comment -
.5 to win 1.25 on skins +5 and over 48.5.. as usual won't count parlay in w/l total but will add/subtract the money., gl everyoneComment -
Reason skins are +5 in parlay cause I thought was more important to play the total at less than 49 and bovada has 49.5! So did my parlay at bol where I make most my plays.Comment -
Man skins red zone woes already showing. My biggest problem w this team is their inability to get tds on trips into scoring range.Comment -
Luckily ended up passing on the pit/cincy under and played ten/cle under last week. Interested to see your thoughts on pit/det under this week. Pit struggles on the road are well documented, but i feel like they're kinda hitting their stride right now. Det plays so mind numbingly slow until the 4th when they're inevitably down by 2 scores. Dont love playing unders indoors, but i think both teams def match up well with opp off. I see like 20-17/23-20 somebody, but would live to hear your thoughts when you get a chance.Comment -
Sorry I haven't gotten to post anything yet this week. My girlfriend has some ongoing asthma/lung issues and I walked in bedroom to see her blue w no pulse. Thankfully I was able to give her cpr and keep her alive till medics arrived, she stable now but still in hospital as they do test to try and finally figure out what exactly going on/causing these episodes that flare up every few-6 months, never to this extent as this was by far worst, i honestly didn't think she was gonna make it, most scared I've ever been in my life!!
Needless to say I been a little preoccupied, lol. Even when bored at hospital I couldn't really focus on numbers or anything. I'm home now and Hard to sleep without my baby so think I'm gonna try and cap some of card and post some plays before I go back to hospital in morning..Comment -
Road struggled aside I think steelers have finally figured out their stride comes from good defense and getting bell the ball! Long as they continue w that formula the road struggle outta be less drastic as run games and defense travel.. As I mentioned last week it appears to me after the kc game books made a adjustment w them, with last weeks total being really low for that bungals matchup and now 45 in Detroit which feels pretty low for a lions home game (like shocka said we tend to see lot of 50+ point scores in Detroit!).
I haven't actually began looking into the numbers so don't have a good answer as of yet., just a general thought on their totals above.. I will look into this one soon and let you know what I come up w for my total.Comment -
Week 8
Chargers +7.5 (2x).. back to the well once again, I've probably bet chargers more weeks than any team and not stopping when they getting over a td! My philosophy pretty simple w this squad, whenever they catching more than a fg I'm interested, even took them last week as favs as they finally starting to learn how to win these close games! Don't sleep on this squad they capable of winning this game!
La 4th in the league in sack percentage, if you haven't noticed Brady taking a lot more shots this season as pats attempting far more intermediate and deep throws opposed to the dink and dunk style they been perfecting last several years. Pats fans have to be feeling a little nervous in welcoming Ingram, bosa, and company in to get after their aging golden boy!! These guys will be in the backfield making life uncomfortable for Brady all day.
Everything about this charger d sets up well to be a difficult challenge for pats high powered attack. La solid defending teams outside WRs and as mentioned they flat get after the qb not allowing deeper routes to develop. They solid against te's and top 5 against rb's out of backfield. Chargers most vunerable against the slot which pats will exploit some I'm sure but not their stregth this year. Best way to attack this charger d is on the ground, pats not gonna beat a team by more than a td with their run game..Last but far from least chargers been great in the red zone, 4th in the league only allowing tds on 37% of teams trips inside the 20. They have not allowed one red zone td the last 3 weeks!! Shockingly pats have not been efficient when they get inside the 20 only converting 53% of their trips and 45% the last 3 weeks.
I still don't love chargers offense under the new staff but I do think the passing game has shown some decent signs lately. They doing a great job keeping rivers upright and I fully expect him to do some damage vs this d. Pats d has done some things better of late but there still plenty of holes to pass on this squad and they just lost Hightower for the season who the leader of this defense..
Don't be shocked if chargers come in and win this game to get themselves to .500. I said before the season started I believed these guys were legit playoff contenders and while they dug themselves a early hole I still firmly believe this roster talented enough to play with anyone. Think this game played right at or just under the total, give me chargers and the generous amount of points in the upset 24-23 chargers.Comment -
Raiders ml +120 (1x).. It was either the ml or pay extra juice for +3. Ultimately decided to take the better team at plus money. Winston exposed bills pass defense last week in a game bucs should have won. This week bills getting a Oakland offense that I believe found their stride against kc and will start shifting things back to natural order as I have no doubt raiders finish w better record than bills who are about to the part in season reality sets in.Comment -
I will do my best to get after totals and post them 2marro.Comment -
Hi Banker,
It's your avid follower from England! Thought I'd pop in to the SBR forum, as I haven't been here in years and glad I did to see this thread again.
Sorry to hear about your girlfriend hope she is on the mend soon. Puts life in to perspective!
Will enjoy looking in and learning about this incredible sport.
Great thread as ever.Comment -
Thanks bro. She much better now, they have her breathing under control, heart rate still way high, now just another round of test hoping they can figure out what going on and a solution ultimately be nice. Sitting in hospital w her all day, tired and bored now that no immediate risk to worry about..Comment -
Well wishes banker. Hope everything is okComment -
I appreciate all the well wishes and prayers everyone. Everything fine now far as any scare, they actually have her breathing better than she been in weeks (Theresa very stubborn takes this kind of incident for her to admit something wrong! I'm a sucker for stubborn strong will women, lol) .. . Now just matter of sittiing around waiting, tests, pulmonologist trying to figure out what causing this and hopefully doing a better job than last group who stabilized her and acted like problem was solved!
Think I'll start on totals since only hindrance at moment is I'm working on no sleep! That has never stopped me before, lol.. all this saying I'm pretty much gonna be around all afternoon evening w very little to do cept when talking to dr's so anyone wanting to discuss this weeks card this the place to be!!Comment -
Hope all is well banker, best wishes.
Not really a totals player, but I dabble on occasion.
LAC@NE U48.5(-110)
OAK@BUF U45(-105)
Bills are forreal though Banker, they shopping Boldin.
Shows they have faith in who they already have and just trying to get value for the future.Comment -
I've heard that story about bills many a year after 8 weeks. We shall see bud, I don't buy their passing defense as being all that good, they have had a schedule favorable to giving the illusion of a good pass defense. Imo they avg at best against the pass and think what you saw from Winston last week was not a outlier but sign of things to come against good passing attacks. Sadly bucs defense was so bad (once again, they made zona offense looo good too!) bills won the type of game they won't very often when their offense asked to put up points. They should be looking to future cause they a .500 team at best, sadly that should be enough for you to win our wager cause phins offense is so much worse than I ever imagined they could be! Lol.,
I agree with the chargers/pats under, I just think more value on chargers w points and I try to avoid side and total in same game unless I'm being a degen or think they significantly correlate..
After the way bills game turned into a shootout last 3 minutes last week to burn what I thought was spot on projection of 20-20 tie w next score winning! I'm little gunshy with same number here and another offense coming in capable of having a big passing day, I expect coopers success last week to bring more success as raiders passing attack primed to put up another big day.Comment -
Scary stuff Bank I’m glad you knew cpr and where there with her at the time. Best wishes and a speedy diagnosis. BOL this weekend I’ll be tailing as always 👍🏼Comment -
I finished lot of totals yesterday but most what I like are on east coast where we have rain, just been waiting for them to get bet down as ppl wake up and see rainy conditions. Rain or snow have never deterred me from playing a over as I think those can often times be advantages for the offense as when footing goes bad it tends to favor the offensive player who knows where he trying to get opposed to the defender who has to react and more likely to slip doing so.
Obviously enough rain can make things diffucult but ultimately I don't think you can know that and it works both ways, not to mention sloppy conditions often time lead to some turnovers for scores, plus we getting a bargain number as guys generally overreact to weather and bet totals down like what happening this morning..
the one exception to my view on this is wind, windy conditions almost always lead to reduced scores when wind strong enough and especially if it a crosswind blowing sideline to sideline opposed to end zone to end zone where teams still have success passing when going with the wind. The only game forecast I've saw w significant wind is in Tampa where oddly enough the total hasn't been effected. sCam and Shamis are a couple really strong armed guys tho so not sure I want to consider under there, especially cause without the wind I made total higher than current 46, most likely just gonna pass there.Comment -
Sorry to hear about your girlfriend Banker. I am glad to hear things are improving. Best wishes for a speedy recovery.Comment -
Banker, sorry to hear about your girl, and hope all is okay and looking better, brotha.Comment -
Sf/Philly ov 43.5 (1.5x).. liked this one all week at 47 but knew about potential weather so been waiting, thrilled it got below 44 so time to jump.,Comment
