Not confident about things tonight, so a player parlay and a Teaser. Should probably sit it out and just scout but:

TD anytime Bucky Irving and Mike Evans (100/450)

Teaser +7.5 (no confidence) 

TB +10.5 + TB/Hou over 35 + Raiders +11 (300/350)

I am a degenerate.

Good luck all.

Seeing the same thing. Other game seems split almost evenly, but everyone seems to be on Houston. I am not a believer in the "covers bloodbath" angle as I don't think anyone in control would be paying that much attention this forum, but this seems weird. I don't see enough difference between the two to make most people on one side. It isn't like the line is way off  

Pretty fishy, may just look at player props to be safe :)

Dangit, let's see if the Metal Horns emoji pops up, or it or just question marks.

 ??

Going back to bet history on book site (not sure if I was even well enough to post last week):

Philly -8 vs Cowboys 330/300 L

Parlay S. Barkley score anytime + J. Hurts score anytime 100/175 W

Parlay (GN/Wash) J. Jacobs score anytime + J.Merritt over 29.5 yards 300/300 L

Washington +.5 1st quarter 125/100 L (Played this on accident and didn't cancel it out, 125 down the drain).

Let's see if I am a better gambler when not at Death's door :)

Feeling a million times better than this time last Sunday. Have to see if I actually managed to place any wagers and update record.

So far this week:

Bills -6 vs Jets 315/300. Bills can score and Jets are not Baltimore on offense or defense (though Baltimore D needs to show up).

Cowboys -5.5 vs Giants 342/300. Cowboys didn't look too bad against Philly. Giants looked bad against Skins. Watch them switch to Dart to screw me :)

Teaser: +6 (200/491) Baltimore -6 vs Browns, Arizona -1 vs Carolina, Philly +4.5@ Chiefs, TN +8.5@Houston

Parlay 200/326 Derrick Henry scores TD anytime+ Joe Flacco throws for 250+. King Henry is good for a TD either goal line or from 70 yards away. Baltimore secondary banged up, Flacco returning home and likely playing from behind. 

I know parlays and teasers are sucker bets, but I like putting together the "what if" scenarios (which is exactly how they get you). Good luck today Covers people.

Good luck today DK. It IS a lot of points considering the situation and it being so early in the season. A couple props I may play instead are Flax o OVER on passing yards (they could be behind and play catch up) and Lamar OVER on rushing yards (Browns have a pass rush). 

Don't like betting against the Ravens, but they need to show something first. 

Cheers,

Finally seem to be over whatever tried to wreck my trip to Atlanta tomorrow. Sucks that I will miss watching Bama vs Whisky tomorrow but there is a horror author event in Baltimore tomorrow. Don't like the line anyway, though they better pummel the Badgers.

Couple quickies for tonight to try to get back into things:

CU/Houston, over 45 (230/200). Not falling for the alumni trap, don't know how new QB will do, but figure there should be points scored on CU. If new QB does anything - 45 is within reach.

K State -1.5 (107/100) Not ultra confident but KSt is better than they've shown, and Arizona, is not.

NM/UCLA o 53.5 (108/100). Two bad teams, two bad defenses. Almost got on NM at 15.5 but UCLA needs to get right, so a little hesitant. 

Hope to get in some bets before driving to Baltimore, but have to wrangle foster kittens for adoption at Petco. Hopefully I don't jump on Bama at +20, but the total may be in play if they curbstomp WI.

GA/TN - food game to watch (they can't both lose, can they?) but if I do anything it'll be on TN.

Good luck all

Don't remember my record from week 1 but somewhere around 3-1 +500 if I remember correctly. In the midst of a 4 day Metal Fest combined with stomach bug so not much research going into these. Just posting before starting the marathon again at 1300 ET. Not going big on anything.

Colorado -24 (220/200). Get back game. Buffs need confidence and they also need to be able to rotate in some new players for experience.

Iowa St -3 (bought a half point) 246/200. I feel like they SHOULD win the rivalry game at home if they were going to lay an egg it would have been last week. This is a pure feel/emotion pick. Numbers wise I could see either side.

NC State -2.5 230/200. It feels like State is trying to build something this season, and 2.5 isn't too much to lay. If they can't handle this, it's down to Clemson or FSU in the league. Win the ones you are supposed to and you can stay in the conversation.

Good luck all. Probably won't get to see any games until after midnight, and with a 10 hour drive tomorrow may just check highlights and crash :)

Cheers

Same side good luck to us all.

Happy to see you on this one. Was on my radar, but in the time it took to deal with animal emergencies it dropped to +14.5, but even money. Let's cash this 

Ok, I am going to bite the bullet. Lost a point in my hesitation.

SD +14.5 300/300

Hoping for a slow start by ISU, a low scoring game should help things. ISU doesn't want to show too much with Hawkeyes on deck.

Good luck all.

Don't see too many people on this one yet. Iowa State opened with a win, but had big time travel each way to and from Ireland.

South Dakota is usually a very good FCS team, capable of an FBS scalp or two. Right now they are 15 point dogs with a 48.5 total. 

I really don't see Iowa State overpowering too many clubs, so I am leaning towards SD but still trying to stay disciplined. The Tide plays at 330 and I have a homer bet on them, so may look at night games, but this one got my attention. ISU tired? Overlooking SD? Content with a win allowing a backdoor cover?

@C-70Blues

 Hail?? I head to Atlanta on Monday for my annual metal fest, no Manowar or Ross the Boss this time, but a good mix of styles. 

So far 3-1 +500. No complaints at all, as there will be many losing bets ahead. Still trying to be cautious until we see who these teams really are.

Had previously listed Bama -13.5 (360/300). This is a homer bet on a team I follow closely.Too early to know what we have at QB but I think it'll be better than last year which means the receiving corp will flourish. Places this before a lot of the injuries popped up, but let it ride. If they want a shot at a decent season, going into Tallahassee and stomping the Noles is a must.

And Marshall +39.5 (230/200) (hoping Kirby calls off the dawgs when ahead and rotates in some newer players)

I added Notre Dame -2.5 (230/200) last night. Miami brought in a ton of transfer "names" but whether they mesh as a team? Not sure yet, and this doesn't seem like a lot to cover. Don't give Miami much in the way of a home field advantage and Irish fans are everywhere like Steelers fans. The kid being charged with vehicular homicide could rattle the Canes, he had to be close with other players on the team.

So far, App State cashed, but looking like Baylor ML will be a loser so a 1-1 night for a grand total of $000. Of course, Auburn still could choke. Glad I didn't bet on CU v GT, stressful enough to watch as a fan.

So far 2-0 +500. Let us see if the luck continues:

Baylor, ML +107 over Auburn 200/214. This is not me being a Bama fan, I'd prefer Auburn to win for the good of the Conference, but Friday Night Football in Texas is a thing, Aranda can coach, and there are a lot of questions surrounding the reclaimation project at QB for Auburn. If he plays well, they could make some noise this year, but it is early. it may take a game or two.

App State -3 at Charlotte 210/200. Well this line is certainly moving around a bit. over 5 was too steep, saw it dip under 3, but by the time I got there, it was 3. I probably should have laid off this, but I'm just so happy for college ball to be back. Also, by playing this one, I avoid betting on CU game and can just watch it as a fan/former student.

Best of luck all.

GL this season 

@totter

 Same here -figure the points were so close, may as well go with the ML and + money. Good luck tonight.
