come on - easy enough to win in the nfl if you take good teams in good spots like packers -13 and chargers -7 today

if you keep betting on teams like the texans on the road and raiders anywhere you will have to pray for every dollar and when you come up short of course it's "the game's fault" and "nobody can win"

I agree. If you bet shit teams you will end up with shit

Pitt the better team last year. Pitt the better team this year. No brainer.

I took a bath on college football Saturday. I kindof half-assed it since I was going to be away from my couch most of the day. Of the four primary "square" plays I looked at: Cal, Iowa, Texas, Nebraska, of course I only chose Cal and Iowa.

As for NFL games, I did well in the early games with Miami/Minnesota under 39 and Chicago +7.5, but the late games got ugly. Pats got crushed, Denver/Seattle turned into a little shootout, St. Louis and Oakland did their best KC/Cleveland impression for offensive ineptitude. The Lions might have covered late but at least I salvaged a push on Houston and somehow the Giants hit the over with that late TD. And on top of all that I didn't have the guts to pull the trigger on San Diego.

In all, lost 20% of my account, not that deep of a hole, but I'm getting sick of Bodog's lack of moneylines. At least I was able to double up my SBR Points by taking Alabama, Ohio State, Penn State, Stanford, Oregon State, Wisconsin, USC, and Green Bay straight up!

..There's no chance of winning with this league. Absolutely no way. If the Texans didn't pull that out I would have been shot someone.

Bet College football all day and all night and stay away from the NFL. Knowing what a pro team is going to do after a week off is impossible.

LOL. it is really tough to cap the NFL. Too much parity. NFL bets rarely deserve more than 1 unit.

Its a coaching league. If you understand the matchup, its not very hard.

NCAA is much trickier IMO. Too many teams. How can you know 100+ teams????

wow, I destroyed the NFL yesterday. Week 2 is by far my favorite week to bet NFL cause everyone, media helps this, overreacts to the results of Week 1. I had Cin at -2 and NYJ -1 and when they both were getting points and all the money going against them? easy play my friends.

anyway, if you are having trouble with the NFL, I hope you at least are tracking your plays. playing too many favorites or too many Unders? Is there any pattern at all to your bets? Are you capping your own plays, or are these from trusted outside sources. I wish everyone could win, and am more than willing to help anyone I can. I can't help much, but get a solid foundation to move forward on.

here is a freebie for all: stay away from DD faves in the NFL. well below 50% ATS over the last 300+ games. except for this week when I back the Ravens. 34-3.

I love week 2 myself for the same reason!!! Had cincy jets also loved atl. denv. wash. whoever had houston you got lucky on the push.
I put the eagles in early and bought the hook and kinda got lucky for a push I hate garbage time in the nfl sometimes.
I think nfl is the most profitable sport but I also know it the best and I'm big on teasers which most people think you cant win on.

If you followed my posted picks you be up around 40U in the first 2 weeks Im actually up almost 90U but no way do I have time to watch late money and then come and post here.
Already doubled up then some including preseason so I dont want to hear about how hard it is to win in the NFL!!!

no one can predict the future, its just as hard to predict what broke teenagers are gonna do as 25 yo millionaires. Both a very unpredictable situation
