    Jags -3 is a tough bet, TEN always plays division teams tough as hell...

    I would stay AWAY from this game

    What about their offensive lineman getting shot?, can't help much.

    Seahawks +1 @ Buffalo

    I don't see how the hawks lose this game. They are the more experienced team. Hasselbeck looks good at practice and should be close to 100%.

    The hawks Defense will shut down the anemic bills offense.

    Look for the under in this one as well.

    I would not count parlays out. I would agree that over the long term parlays will kill you, but I would never discard such a powerful weapon from my arsenal. There are times when you feel strongly about several games. You will get more bang for your buck if you bet them in a parlay rather than individually. I do not recommend trying to do this week after week, but when the moment arises where you feel compelled than take the shot.

    I just took the Giants -4, Eagles -7.5, the Jets -3, and the Cowboys at -5.5 on a 4 team parlay. I only spent $25 and I will not cry if I lose it, but if I win I'll make $300. I'll budget this money strictly for parlays, betting half the pot each time. Week 2, 6, and 7 have matches that I would be interested in trying parlays on. If I lose all 3 of those weeks I come out with $35. That's a 40% gain on my $25.

    This money is on top of my bank roll. If I lose it I either scrape up another $25 and try again or not touch parlays for the rest of the year. If I nail each one than my $25 will be over $64,000 by the end of week 7. The most likely scenario is that I pull out somewhere between $35 and $64,000. I'm only risking total loss once: week 1. Given the possible reward, I am more afraid being right and not taking action than I am of taking action and losing $25.

    I use teasers, parlays, money bets, and line bets. I have yet to bet on an over/under, but I do not rule out the possibility. If it can make me money I'm interested.

    I like the Jags but I am leary of this matchup. I would echo some of the other members that the Titans play their division tough, and they are on their home turf. I am not saying the Jags can't do it, but I wouldn't touch this one.
