NFL TODAY PLAY (9/5)

YTD (NFL): 0-0 ATS

Hope everyone had a great offseason.  I personally didn't do as well as in previous years as I was pretty bad at NBA (to the point I just stopped posting) and that's usually one of my best sports.  I also slipped on the Euro 2024 Championship which is another of my best sports.  So now I am back for another winning season in what IS my best sport to post, the NFL.

I want to be very transparent.  I keep a record, of course I'm human, so if there is an error in the record just try to mention it as I go ack and adjust.  Games are sometimes tough being on PST so this year I will opt to post the European based games the night before as I'm on PST and there is no way I am waking at 5am to post on a football Sunday.  Lastly, all BIG PLAYS will count double for wins or double for losses on the record.  They will also be posted on their own within the record so everyone can decide what they want to do.

Lastly, and most importantly, please do your own research.  We all get very hot and very cold and I feel with so many people posting it's sometimes hard to know who to tail or follow.  But if you research on your own at least you can feel comfortable that you put your own money on something you also wanted to wager on.  I realize it's tougher sometimes to do that but just throwing it out there.

Tonights game pits my beloved RAVENS against the champion Chiefs, albeit in Kansas City.  This will be a tall task for the Ravens to win on the road but they have done it before.  Both teams return a bevy of players from last year and, even more importantly, the coaching staffs, so much will be the same with regards to game scripts.  The Ravens did NOT spend money on Derrick Henry to just throw the ball and I think the rely even more on his aging legs especially in the red zone.

On the flip side, I feel as though Kansas City will want to run more this year and their defense is legit so I can see them really trying to keep Lamar and the Ravens offense off the field.  The Ravens have had problems with Kelce in the past but I think the cornerbacks can cover the KC receivers and eliminate the long play.  But they also seem to have issues with scrambling QB's as good as their linebackers are.  

Both teams have been very good coming out of the gate but the Ravens have NOT been that great against KC, and much for the reasons above.  But with both teams so familiar with one another and a short line, it's hard to go against one or another as both are potential Super Bowl favorites.  It's the first game of the season and the Ravens typically play lower scoring games first few weeks.  I don't see tonight as being any different.

UNDER 47 (BALTIMORE/KC)

I will be back tomorrow hopefully after a 1-0 start to the season.  I tend to really like GB but again short line and game being played abroad yields a lot more unknowns.  Will be interesting to see how the Eagles satisfy all the mouths they need to feed;  will they run more with Saquon?  And for GB, is Love ready to be the QB they think he can be.  Lots of that will be answered tomorrow but for now we have tonight and I could not be more excited.

As always, tail or fade, good luck to all... 

Automatic win if those who don't know who this bloke is 

Last year was a stellar year for dude.  No need for me to tail as I'm already in it and betting with confidence. 

Thanks let's get out of the gate strong 

@nfl_brosuf

 Yeah ok. Wait til the dude that provides his record to show up. 

Different year different results unless I'm mistaken him for another guy.  

Ok, troll mode off 

Gl tonight. 

Baltimore has scored at least 24 pts in the last 3 season openers and the total has gone way over in most games (except for last year's playoff game).  The first few weeks tend to be ugly football since no one has played any.  You seem to know Baltimore well though, so best of luck tonight.

Good luck on the game might sit this one out 

Bol LA..always read your insights

Thanks guys. Please always ignore the unranked chimp. He’s a troll like none other. Even on day one…record is transparent and will be throughout year. Will crush again this year regardless what happens tonight. No idea why anyone would want someone else to lose but haters exist. I prefer kindness and positivity 

@LAGameofInches

You're one of my trusted checks, week in and week out.  Don't worry about that guy; just do your thing and prove him wrong.

You're a pretty good troll yourself

Good luck GOI! 

@Bettorific

Helping you not lose is not being a troll, it's being kind.  You know I'm right and it's really not even about that.  If you are going to post NRFI in baseball and I'm telling you that after ASB those go south, and you don't believe me, then keep posting, and they keep losing, then you can't call me a troll for sharing what I know.  I worked on that side of the business and told you that out of founded knowledge, I was not guessing.  And I came to your thread quite a few times b/c I actually wanted to help you.  Never did I come in and spew negative speak in fact I only come into your thread b/c I like you, we are both Oriole fans, and was impressed by all that you did with NRFI leading UP TO ASB.  But then I gave fair warning, you didn't listen, it's all good, but you can't call me a troll for sharing information.  That's what the forum is designed for.

@LAGameofInches

Just wanted to stop in and say hope you have a great season buddy. I know it's hard but ignore the trolls and keep posting winners!!

gl this season

Good Luck. ?? 

Sometimes you actually wake up and think "wow, that was pretty lucky" .  On the one hand posting is what I really enjoy with the NFL but on the other hand seeing the Ravens win is the other thing that brings me joy.  So the fact that the play actually pushed b/c the Ravens missed out on a potential upset by a toe demonstrates the accuracy of my handle...it really is a "gameofinches".

Will be back shortly for tonights game, updated record (NFL):  0-0-1 ATS.  Congrats to all KC backers, I just couldn't do it.
