I wish I was in Vegas earlier tomorrow, because I would LOVE to bet the M/L at +265 on the Vikings. They're going to BEAT the Rams... straight up. Make bank on it.
But, I won't get there in time. Some juicy games this weekend. None more so to me than Miami @ New England. This is a MUST WIN for the Pats. They are giving 6.5 pts to the 3-0 Dolphins. Wait, what? The 3-0 Dolphins?? Yep. Miami has won three in a row: At home against the Raiders and Titans. On the road at the JETS. I think NE wins this game, but... I'm not sure about those points. Might be more fun to play the +240 on Miami to win. They're doing to neat things on offense at Miami. I would LOVE to see them upset the Pats. The world is ready for trouble in Pat's Paradise. It might just officially begin on Sunday.
I like the Cowboys, at home.. playing against the Lions coming off a big Sunday Night win. The Cowboys are better at home. They'll be a LOT better in a few weeks, when they get their all-pro center back.
I LOVE Tampa Bay, getting 3 pts at Chicago. The Bears aren't that good. They've beaten (barely) Arizona and Seattle. Both of those teams suck right now. FITZ-MAGIC will continue one more week.
Cincy is getting 5 pts at Atlanta.... I don't think the Bengals are good enough to win that game on the road. But, 5 is a lot. I think I'm going to bet the OVER... 51.5 It's going to be HIGH scoring.
Buffalo is getting 12 points @ Green Bay. Did anyone watch them play against the Vikings? (Who TIED Green Bay) I think, having a QB with a pulse is a REALLY good thing. And, I'm going to take the points. Rogers is still hobbling. I look for a close game.
Houston @ Indy... weird game. 75% of betters are betting UNDER 47. I have a feeling this might be a breakout offensive game. Both teams have struggled. It's in a dome. Why not have some fun. I think I'll bet the OVER
Jets at the Jags... Big move on this line. Opened at Jets +10... now it's +7.5. Which Jag team shows up? I think Darnold throws FOUR picks.. two for TD's. Jags D will make a statement. Bounce back time.
Philly -4 @ Tenn. I'm not buying the Titans as being good. Wentz will be getting better. I'm taking the defending Champs.
Browns + 3 at Oakland. Oakland seems to be getting better. But, this is Baker's first start. I'm on the Brownie Bandwagon... do, or die. Chucky falls to 0-4
Seattle -3 @ Arizona SUCKFEST. Who will suck harder? I'm betting against the Cardinals until they prove they can win.
Saints -3.5 @ the Giants. As a rule, in Vegas.. I don't bet FOR, or AGAINST Eli... he's killed me BOTH ways. But, I'll be rooting for Kamara and my Saints. I HAVE to bet on them.. for cheering purposes.
San Fran+ 10.5 @ the Chargers. More SUCKFEST. But, nobody sucks like the 49ers. Should be a rout for Rivers. LOTS of points for Keenan Allen.. (I hope)
Ravens +3 @ Pittsburg. Coming off a big MNF game, I think the Steelers are flat. Ravens will rough em up. I'll take the points. But, I won't bet much on this one.
KC -5.5 @ Den... on MNF.. I'll be heading home. But, I'll probably drop a little on KC. I think they're on a roll and the Broncos aren't going to stop them. Travis Kelce for three scores, please!
Tell me where I'm wrong?

you are wrong when you say the Vikings are going to beat the Rams straight up lol
I think the Rams will crush the Vikings. Many people don't realize how good this Rams team is...

I think the Vikings TANKED IT on command last week. Their payback? They get to beat the Rams on Thursday night. The Rams had a hard hitting game against the Chargers last week. Now they have to travel, on a short week, to go play a Vikings team that was embarrassed last week. Oh, and the Rams will be missing their two starting CB's. Vegas will screw the bettors again... On Thursday this time. My "Lock of the Week" |

Cancel that "lock"... I thought the Rams were playing in Minny... the game is actually in LA. That changes my thinking... and is bad news for the Vikings.
Glad I wasn't there.

Thankfully, my consultations with MamaBevo changed my opinion on several of the games above.. Ended up have a pretty big winning day. Thanks to the NFL, one lucky hit on a video poker machine, and a HUGE night at craps on Sunday night, we came home with double the money that we took. That's pretty rare for a Vegas trip. But, it happens every once in a awhile.
The only NFL game I felt REALLY good about was: The Jags beating the Jets. I bet fully HALF my bankroll on that game, and even parlayed a little on the Jags plus the over. Did any of you see that finish? In a game that was completely settled, Jags had a 4th and goal from the 1 in the last seconds of the game. They couldn't kneel it to run out the clock, so... they handed off, and SCORED a TD. That garbage TD pushed the total to OVER... and made me a winner for the day before ANY second half bets.
I couldn't believe how bad the Bucs SUCKED. I mean, wow. That was awful.
I did bet the OVER in the Houston-Indy game, and they did.. so, that was great.
I bet pretty heavy on the OVER for the Cincy-Atl game.. and, they were only 2 points away, at HALF-TIME! That was super sweet.
Dallas did win, but didn't cover the 3 points... that sucked.
Lost on Tennessee.... they really surprised me. Vrabel is doing wonders there.
MamaBevo convinced me NOT to bet on Buffalo. She actually said, "Well.. I'm betting twice as much as you, on Green Bay... so, do what you want". I went with her, and we won.
Browns broke my heart. I actually won that bet, since they were 3.5 point underdogs... but, I really wanted them to win. And, I still don't understand how they didn't. It must truly SUCK to be a Browns fan.
We did win on the Saints... that was a fun one to cheer for. There are always plenty of obnoxious New York fans in the casino. (is that redundant? Obnoxious and NY fans?) Brees and Kamara didn't disappoint.
The BEST one though, or at least the most satisfying was.... Betting against the Steelers. I put $100 on the Ravens, and bet a $100 parlay of Ravens plus the UNDER. At half-time, I was pretty sure I was going to lose both of those bets... so, we started walking from Ceasar's to Bally's. By the time we got there, most of the third quarter was gone with almost NO scoring, and the Ravens having a 3 point lead. We sat at a video poker bar and watched the rest of the game (while sipping slowly on Vodka/Red Bulls). It was so much fun to listen to the Steelers fans crying!
After collecting that nice ticket, I went to play Craps with a pocket full of money, and more than just a little of a buzz working. I walked up to a COLD COLD Crap table and said, "Fellas.... the FORCE is strong with me today. Come ye patawans... let's start winning". An hour and a half later, we'd only been through three shooters... Me, one Browns fan, and a short haired Chinese guy". ALL of us had EPIC rolls. I left that table up by a grand. Nothing more fun that a hot crap table.
So weird too... On Saturday, the crap table downtown was awful... I tried to wait it out, but... lost $300 before I gave up. The vibe was just not good from the start. Sunday night, it was totally different. I announced to the table that the winning was about to start, and it did. They all thought I was crazy, or drunk..... at first... it didn't take long for the entire table to get with the program.
It was raining 6's, 8's and hard ways. That's a winning recipe for me!

Nice story about Vegas And it was definitely great watching the Saints beat NY. I totally forgot about the Steelers-Ravens....I don't trust the Steelers, I think they are missing a step how bout da Bears? They crushed Tampa New Emgland crushed Miami as well Texans |

Yea. I did bet the money line on Miami. But, it was a small bet.
Was too scared to bet on Houston... just bet the over. I was pretty sure they’d score a lot.
I wish I’d bet on Da Bears. Sometimes, they look incredible. But then, they come back and stink.
