After a slow start, we have found some solid footing. Looking forward to keeping it going today with the following plays. Might not be around later so look out for more plays earlier than normal:
BALTIMORE (+2.5) & (-2): So I woke up today and read DeShaun Watson is not playing. Usually that will have me totally lay off a game but as I had already played the Ravens at +2.5 yesterday and I am also going to play them at -2 for the same reasoning; The Ravens are 24-6 SU in their last 30 vs the Browns. That is called OWNING a team. Coming off a loss, and also being 12-3 ATS in Cleveland over the past 15, this is as automatic for this HUGE Ravens fan as it comes. I was playing this game no matter what, I know it sounds ludicrous, but just given the trends and where the teams currently sit. The UNDER should also hit here but I'm not touching it. Ironically this was going to be a BIG PLAY until hearing about Watson. Missing him and Chubb, two centerpieces for the offense against a really good Ravens D, think it might be tough to pull it off.
OVER 53 (MIAMI/BUFFALO): I respect those that think this line is too high, but I'm not one of them. The OVER has come in on 7 out of the last 10 games played between these two teams and in 8 or 9 of the last games played in Buffalo.. With no big injuries to either side, and no weather issue, I do not see this game a blowout or a low scoring affair.
OVER 43 (WASHINGTON/PHILADELPHIA): Both of these teams can score, both use the RB's in clever ways, and the trends again point to this being a higher scoring affair. The Total is set a bit low imo and I feel that this should get to at worst 45 points giving the OVER a solid edge here.
CINCINNATI FH (-1/2): Love this line, love this play. Sure, on the first half and who knows what takes place, but the Titans aren't going to all of a sudden start scoring in bunches. The Bengals on the other hand, just might. I think Burrow's calf has hindered him (obviously), but also think it's getting better. Bengals have started slow in all of their games and think they come out and make a concerted effort to buck that trend.
That's what I have for the moment, will be great to get the sweep. Have my eye on a couple other games but will be out for some of the afternoon. Keep comments positive and, as always, tail or fade, good luck to all...

YTD (NFL): 8-7-1 For those of you who have followed, you know the direction we have been on since a pretty rough start. OVER 45 (DETROIT/GB): Tonight's game has a lot of history in it but none really with Jordon Love and the new look Packers offense. Detroit has been playing to the UNDER but those games have been at home where the public have seemingly forgotten the Lions can also plays some defense. But the playing styles tonight don't really favor the UNDER as I see a very tight game but one that is more open and chunks of yards gained through the air. Definitely a big step for the Packers in getting Aaron Jones and Christian Watson active for tonight, even if Watson will be limited. What some people tend to forget is that the Packers might not have big names as their WR's, yet, but they have capable hands there and that has been a big reason they have been winning. The trends heavily point to the OVER and so that was the final vote of confidence needed to make this a play. Again, I understand that personnel for the Packers has changed but when it comes to trends, history doesn't. As for the game, the Lions have been AWFUL in Green Bay for years, but again, I know how different their squads were during those years. More importantly though, the Lions have covered more of those affairs than the Packers, and so those trends go against one another and, at least from a handicapping perspective, cancel one another out. Personally see the Packers getting the victory at home but don't like it nearly as much as the OVER, which is why that is the play. Always welcome comments but keep them positive. Tail or fade, good luck to all...

I looked back and you are correct 9-7. Will keep that updated was working off memory. Hard to keep track when I post in numerous sports so sometimes I do make an error. Apologies

Waste of a play that was....took this incredible day to mediocre. 3-2 ATS on the day. Now I want to take it back to incredible:
KANSAS CITY (-8): Simply put, the better team, with a very solid defense against a team whose QB has been a mess and expectations have been completely shattered, so has morale. I don't see the Jets getting blown out but in the last 9 against Kansas City, the Chiefs are 7-2 ATS.. Now, combine that with what I just said and there's my play.
Hope everyone has a great night. Updated Record including today: 12-9-1 ATS
