WEEK 10 JUST THE PICKS, MA’AM

 Sorry…..limited time this week.  Here goes:

PREMIUM PICKS

 NINERS +3.5 over Rams

This is the classic contrarian pick. I think this line seems like an easy Rams cover.  So do 98% of bettors, and Vegas didn’t change the line. So….play it like they know something. Two units on SF.

Also….

PATS -1.5 over Browns

BUCS -9.5 over Washington

LIONS +8.5 over Steelers

RAIDERS +2.5 over Chiefs

COLTS -10.5 over Jags


MIDDLING PICKS

PANTHERS +10.5 over Cards

BILLS -13.5 over Jets

DOLPHINS +7.5 over Ravens (make sure you get the hook!)

PACKERS -3.5 over Seahawks


WILDASS GUESSES

Broncos +10 over Cowboys

SAINTS +3.5 over Titans

CHARGERS -2.5 over Vikings

FALCONS +9.5 over Cowboys


Last week 7-7

Season 87-49

Return: 617%

WEEK 4 KICKOFF, THURSDAY NIGHT PICK

 After last week’s 12-4 record, I’m basically in Bruce Cockburn territory here, wondering where the lions are. (I know they’re in Chicago, but I mean the figurative lions that can wreck your parlay). I’m at 34-14 for the year, and that feels unsustainable.  There’s not a lot of guidance from the markets on tonight’s Thursday night clash, likely because betting interest may be low. The Bengals and Jaguars are not exactly dominant franchises or big markets, although there is the appeal of seeing the last two #1 pucks go head to head. Joe Burrow looked solid in getting a win over the fading Steelers, and Trevor Lawrence made some big league throws and some bush league mistakes, scaring Arizona for a half before giving the Cards the late cover. The line moved from 7 to 7.5 for Cindy, likely driven by some public reaction to finally besting their divisional bullies from Pittsburgh. The sharps are pretty split, so we are on our own to bet…. CINCINNATI -7.5 over Jacksonville Sooner o...

WEEK 7: BEWARE THE DOUBLE DIGIT SPREAD

 I hit my rough week last week with a 6-8 record. Fortunately I put my multiple unit bets on the Raiders and Seahawks, so my bankroll stayed solid with a 12 unit surplus.  This week there are a lot of games Vegas sees as a blowout. My pal Tony summed this dilemma up quite well once when we were looking at the horrible, Rich Kotite-coached Jets of the 90s getting 15 points against the Patriots. “Ugh,”proclaimed Tony, “I have two rules — the first is ‘Beware The Two Touchdown Spread”. When I asked what the second was, he replied “Beware the 0-11 Jets.” And he’s right. You want to avoid these games because they force you to choose between cartoonishly-huge deficits and teams so bad you wonder how they will keep up.  So many bettors pass or take the favourite out of name recognition.  But the contrarian knows that Tony’s first rule is a good one — dogs getting more than 2 TDs have covered more than 65%of the time since he spoke those words, even including the Texans gett...

NFL 2021 — Kelly’s Dubious Predictions

 These things are almost never right. Let’s start with that.  Season predictions often go wrong, because there’s always going to be some bias towards what we just saw.  The 2020 NFL season ended with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on a tear, with the Bills, Browns and Packers ascendant.  So most predictions are going to start with those teams. Except….. Things change. They change for reasons that aren’t obvious to you and me.  I don’t know why the Buccaneers started 6-5 and the Steelers started 11-0, and by the start of the playoffs one of them looked great and the other appeared completely discombobulated. I don’t know why the Jets could go from looking like historic doormats to winning two of their last three. I mean, I can guess…and some of the trends might carry over.  Others may not.  More often, things just change.  A mediocre team can hit a statistical run during a 17-game sample.  An invincible favourite can be swarmed by the injury bug. An...
