Where are you seeing 6? Its -5 in Vegas.

If I can get the Vikings +6 now and get the Saints at -3/-4 at gametime Id be pretty excited.

Once Joe Public realizes Favre is fine and Harvin is playing it will be back to a 3/4 point spread.

Lathum · 09-07-2010, 06:28 PM

Bodog has it at -6

Do you have a bodog account?

I do but I havent used it since they were having financial problems a few years back. I do like to line shop on the NFL though especially since most of the games end up so close to the spread.

Flasch186 · 09-07-2010, 09:38 PM

betus has the vikes +5.5

Lathum · 09-09-2010, 09:15 AM

Thinking about jumping all over the +49 for tonights game.

Anyone know any sportsbooks offering an NFL deposit bonus?

Suicane75 · 09-09-2010, 11:50 AM

Seetheart teased
Saints +7
Over 36 1/2
Temple +6
Auburn +10 1/2

Will probably use the total on the Minn/NO game in a few other teasers.

Suicane75 · 09-09-2010, 07:11 PM

Another teaser put in tonight

Minn/NO Over 36 1/2
Miami/Buff Under 51 1/2
Packers +10
Packers/Eagles Over 34 1/2

Lathum · 09-09-2010, 07:12 PM

Went with the over 49 plus a few prop bets.

Brees +285.5 yards
Brees +2 TD's thrown
over 10 points in first quarter

Flasch186 · 09-09-2010, 07:33 PM

i have the saints D in fantasy so no bets tonight.

Bigsmooth · 09-09-2010, 09:06 PM

Goddam. Had Saints -3 1st half. Stupid missed FG.

Lathum · 09-09-2010, 09:07 PM

The season is not off to a good start. Need a 5 TD second half...

Suicane75 · 09-09-2010, 10:08 PM

I have a feeling alot of people will end up on the wrong side of the total tonight.

Lathum · 09-09-2010, 10:09 PM

yeah, Vegas is going to make a killing on this one.

Bigsmooth · 09-09-2010, 10:28 PM

Got the push at NO -5. Garrett Hartley kills both my bets that sob.

Suicane75 · 09-09-2010, 10:31 PM

I'm all over Hou/Utep Over 74.

Bigsmooth · 09-10-2010, 01:01 AM

I'm on Houston -20. Nice revenge spot for them on national TV.

Suicane75 · 09-10-2010, 12:00 PM

So what are people thinking when it comes to the NFL slate? My initial reaction was to pound the Packers and the over in that game but it just looks too easy. As Howard Eskin used to say "the line is telling me something". Everybody and their mother have been all over the Packers all offseason and even though it's on the road they're facing a first time QB and an untested defense that doesn't project to be all that great.

And if you think the Lions are gonna be good, the ML is a strong play I think.

I know UTEP has been slowly getting better but other than peripheral knowledge I have no idea how good they are.

kingfc22 · 09-10-2010, 04:00 PM

I'm taking OKST -14.5 and the Niners -3.5

Suicane75 · 09-10-2010, 05:26 PM

The more I look at the NFL lines i'm getting see alot to like. Miami/SF/Jax all look solid plays.

I'm putting a small wager on WV tonight. Public is big on them and it seems like the public has been better than average so far. My spidey sense is telling me that it looks obvious because it is obvious.

Also really liking ECU tomorrow.

Lathum · 09-10-2010, 06:55 PM

Took the over 46 in the WVU game and over 23.5 in first half.

kingfc22 · 09-10-2010, 07:29 PM

WVU not looking so hot so far.

I wish I would have jumped on Oregon and Cal when the lines first came out. I'm on the fence with Stanford but will more than likely pass.

Suicane75 · 09-10-2010, 09:01 PM

Taking Houston -21, cause why not.

Lathum · 09-10-2010, 09:03 PM

I drank tho over 74 Kool Aid for the Houston game, I know I'll regret it. I have a feeling it will be something like 10-7 end of the first half.

Bigsmooth · 09-10-2010, 10:49 PM

Would REALLY like to see Houston put some points up with 1:23 left in the half. They get the ball coming out of Half too, I believe.

edit: Love this Houston team.

kingfc22 · 09-10-2010, 10:56 PM

That score there will help on the quest for the over.

Lathum · 09-10-2010, 11:12 PM

Took the over 38 for first half and minus -11, was a nice late TD.

kingfc22 · 09-10-2010, 11:14 PM

I added Hawaii +2.5 for tomorrow as well.

Bigsmooth · 09-10-2010, 11:35 PM

Why do I have a feeling that missed extra point is gonna kill me. Christ.

Bigsmooth · 09-11-2010, 12:46 AM

Sweet, nice work by Houston despite losing Keenum. Hawaii is a popular pick tomorrow, what's the reasoning? Thanks.

Uhh, last weeks nationally televised cover against #14USC where they put up more first down, yardage and TOP against the Trojans.

Suicane75 · 09-11-2010, 08:40 AM

Got Texas A&M -20
USC -20
SC -3
ECU -13 1/2 (Love this one)

Still looking for another early game.

Hawaii traveling that far and starting so early scares me.

Sublime 2 · 09-11-2010, 08:42 AM

Anyone with any action on the Miami v OSU game? Thinking about taking Canes +8, I'm just not a believer in Pryor and think Miami's D will be wayyy faster than Marshall's. Not sold on the bet yet, though. Anyone talk me out of it?

Suicane75 · 09-11-2010, 08:48 AM

I neither have a feel for it, nor have I seen many opinions on it. I know alot of people thing OSU has a big time defense but I still don't trust the Big10.

CleBrownsfan · 09-11-2010, 08:50 AM

As a huge Buckeye fan I'm staying away from this one. The Bucks win but really not sure by how much. This is hopefully the true coming out part for Pryor and gang. I'm thinking Saine is up for a big game - at least that's what I'm hoping for.

Anyhow - my prediction is OSU 20 'Canes 17.

That game versus SC couldn't have been a better scenario for Hawaii, though. Like Suicane said, this is a wayyyy different environment for them on the road and playing very early. Haven't seen Army play but I imagine they can run the ball and play smart.

Lathum · 09-11-2010, 09:40 AM

Early Games

Ga Tech-KU- -50- Is there any reason to think this game goes over 50?

Memphis- ECU- +58- I think the line is high based on what ECU did last week but I'll risk it.

Hawaii +3- Offense looked good last week

Wisconsin-San Jose +53- The Badgers showed they will igive up some points, I'm looking for something like 44-13

FLA- MSU- +56- both teams showed they can score in their first game last week.

Fla-USF +50- I think Fla puts up a lot more points and is much crisper than last week with regards to snapping the ball.

Nebraska -28- I think their defense provides them with great field position all day.

kingfc22 · 09-11-2010, 11:47 AM

Hawaii +2
East Carolina -15
OK State - 14.5

4 team parlay: SJ State +40, Oregon/Tenn over 52, Texas -28.5, Hawaii +2 (I like to do a small parlay on games I have a hunch on but am unwilling to place an actual single game wager)

Bigsmooth · 09-11-2010, 12:11 PM

I played a 5 (maybe 6, can't remember) point tease ECU-8, Oklahoma-2.

5Dimes has a cool "tie wins" bet on teasers.

Also, looks like a great call on Hawaii. Wish I had rolled with it!

Suicane75 · 09-11-2010, 12:12 PM

You guys on Hawaii, bravo. I didn't have the balls for that one.

Thanks for brining this one up. I didn't even want to go near ECU as I was not impressed last week. I took a quick look to see why you loved this one and could see why...Memphis is BAD.

Suicane75 · 09-11-2010, 12:42 PM

Yeah, early games going good so far. Will likely add OKS and Cal later.

RainMaker · 09-11-2010, 12:51 PM

If you guys are looking for a sneaky pick tonight, I've got Southern Illinois +11.5 vs Illinois. SIU is #2 in the FCS and always a tough game for FBS teams (almost beat Indiana last year) and Illinois looks to be a mess.

Bigsmooth · 09-11-2010, 01:21 PM

Damn, think we jinxed that Hawaii game.

Lathum · 09-11-2010, 02:12 PM

Afternoon picks

Iowa -14
Cal-Colorado +50
Fl state +7 ( I think they win outright)
Mich-ND -53 ( Heard the weather was pretty bad)
Navy -29
Miami- OSU +47
