Nfl Opening Night (Sep 6)

[jjgold]

Fukkin Pumped

Saints +6.5

$3300 to win $3000

One time

[SBR Lou]

At least you're not being a nut and putting it all on the ML. I'll root for you since I have no financial interest in the game, but I kinda think you're gonna lose here.

[bigboydan]

I went with the under 53.5 in this one coach.

[BatemanPatrickl]

Under as well for me BIGBOYDAN.

[pico]

under? saints?

i feel like colts -7 and over

[SBR Lou]

I feel like Colts too but I'm taking a pass here. Better games over the weekend.

Edit : Okay the line movement gave me some balls. Go Indy -5.5 +104.

[john pavlic]

Dammit I have the same side as JJ!!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOO

[capitalist pig]

Colts -6.0

later

[El Mongolico]

I just got the Colts for -5 1/2...they will walk away with this game hands down.

Oh boys I know I am new and all but know the game and know it well......keep an eye out for the Mongolico this year!

[Art Vandeleigh]

JJ you should take $250 and parlay Saints + 6 1/2 with your 2 best college bets Sat. With your 3 team parlay victory of$1750 you should split it into 2 and bet 2 NFL games Sunday straight. If you split those 2 games, keep trying to play 2 games until you get a decision (2-0 or 0-2). That's about 3 dimes if you win, isn't it? If you lose, you still got a dozen more cracks at it until you blow your $3300.

I kind of like the Saint first half +3.5.

Doesn't the previous year's Super Bowl winner typically underperform vs. the spread?

Lines are inflated, opposing teams are ultra motivated, and Super Bowl winners may be a little complacent.

Anyone have stats to support or refute this?

[jjgold]

Artie some good advice there but I need to get up on top of my store early in the year so I can take shots at him.

I don't think they have lost against the spread this millenium

[mad]

I'm with you and the Saints tonight. Don't know if that's a good or bad thing!

I tend to think along those lines myself. I do not have any stats to back it up though.

[SBR Lou]

Jeez. I could've stripped that ball from him.

[moses millsap]

Still pumped coach?

[Skankdog]

Mad,
that is an awesome avatar!LOL
Saints looked horrible, they have to do something with that o-line

[Starbuckibm]

Uh Oh JJ will be out of money now after the 3300 loss on the Saints. He will be asking for money again...lol.

[betplom]

I believe his imaginary bank account has an unlimited amount of imaginary dollars, to make imaginary wagers with.

Personally, if I had his imaginary bankroll, I'd be betting more than 3 dimes a game.

[mad]

Thanks Skankdog.

Have to agree with your Saints analysis, Brees and Reggie looked horrendous out there. Indy were good though, bad start to my year!

[pico]

Still pumped coach?

i think the coach has exploded during the 3rd quarter.

[BatemanPatrickl]

I went with the under 53.5 in this one coach.

[onlooker]

I ended up taking the 2nd half OVER 24.5. Needless to say I enjoyed that pick 6 at the end of the game.
