lets just say I needed the colts to win to salvage the engine from the train wreck!!!

very rare for the bloke i get the tips from to go 0-3 so I loaded up a bit extra on the Colts....

[mighty_tiger_79]

i guess it was lucky for me that the colts were the only selection i backed then!!!

IMHO, the best value head to head bet this week is the Minnesota Vikings at $1.80 at home to knock off the Philadelphia Eagles.
Admittedly the Vikings only have a 2-4 record like the Eagles and they do have concern at the Quarterback position with starter Tavares Jackson in doubt to start this game but feel that the 1-2 punch at running back with rookie sensation Adrian Peterson and Chester Taylor, who himself gained over 1200 yards rushing last year will provide enough offense and feel that the Eagles are a declining team and Donovan McNabb is a great player but is on the decline as well. If dual purpose running back Bryant Westbrook misses this one for the Eagles, they are in real big trouble.

2*Jets -3 +111
2*49ers +125
1*Redskins +16
1*Jets 1st Half -1
1*Over Raiders/Titans 40.5

No, no the Eagles were too good with McNabb playing very well in particular.
Eagles 23 Vikings 16.

interesting to see Rocca ranked higher than Ben Graham in the Punting Rankings....Rocca 17 Graham 28

probably a fair bit to do with the teams they play for a lot of Grahams punts would be in his half making it hard to pin the opposition in inside there 20yd line if thats what they rate in on sav would be getting a lot more opportunity to keep them deep

Hey Guys interesting thread ya got going here. Only just discovered it today...

I haven't ever bet on the NFL but followed it closely so figure I might join in here and sign up for centrebet.
Be interested to see your multis for this week

I came up with this one quickly today
San Diego to beat Minnesota
Washington to beat the Jets
The on fire Packers +2.5 against the Chiefs
Titans -4 against Carolina with old man vinny as QB
Dallas over Phillidelphia
paying $11

Hey dutchy explain how u write out your selections there with the 2* etc... Only new to this whole NFL betting thing

[Dutchy]

Yeah Im just pasting the tips I get from a private forum in the US....a guy that made me literally thousands in the MLB this year and Im follwoing him in the NFL, unfortauntely at the moment he aint going to flash! but I expect him to turn it around soon...he is about 7 units down for the season....2* means 2 Units 1* = 1 unit etc....his max play is 3 units but very rare

Best value this week I feel is Denver at $2.30 at Detroit.
Do like the look of the Lions but feel they are a bit fragile, given that they are 156-178 in points for and against on the year despite their 5-2 start and that Denver is a lot better team their 3-4 record indicates. Admit that the suspension by the league of running back Travis Henry won't help their chances but they've been competitive in most games except the blowout 3-41 loss at home to San Diego.
Indianapolis at $3 at home could turn out to be the bet of the year against New England.

[Mop Up]

Must say I was also amazed at the prices in the Indy New England Game. Sure New England have been blitzing everyone but the Colts could have probably run up similar numbers but instead of running up the score late in the game and rubbing it in they kicked field goals or rested starters.
$2.90 for a peyton manning led offence and brilliant defence.....

Not sure about Denver v Detroit ORD. Detroit been playing some good football of late and would probably be top 4 in the NFC with Dallas Packers and Giants. then again who knows this year!!

Do any of you guys listen to any to the NFL Rants and Raves podcast. Brilliant podcast very funny and very in depth. If you enjoy your NFL then visit http://www.nflrandr.com and you can subscribe there.

Ok so this is my multi this week. Sadly due to work i can't wait to see your bet this week Dutchy or listen to my podcast for the hot tips so my multi is all my own knowledge. eg. were in for a loss i think

Chargers to beat Minnesota outright
Dallas to beat Philli outright
Washington to beat Jets outright
Pittsburg to beat Baltomore outright
Greenbay +2.5 v KC Chiefs
Tennessee -4.0 v Carolina

Paying 13.10 and we got $10 on it so hopefully we get a $130 payout just in time for bday celebrations

[Dutchy]

apologies I thought Id put this up -

5*Colts +4.5
2*Titans -4
2*Seattle +1.5

[Dutchy]

Ive had my biggest bet of the season on Colts +5.5 and also a small amout on the win at $3.05

Back to drawing board - Detroit 44 Denver 7

Looks like you had win Dutch on Colts line bet.

[Dutchy]

Yes they covered the line thank god, although thought they were going to win also...nearly got a clean sweep if Seattle held onto their big lead...oh well cant argue with profits of 5 units for the day along with a nice day in the NBA

[Mop Up]

Bloody Adran Peterson killed me. Whooping up on the Chargers. Did not see that one coming! I thought Greenbay was my biggest worry but they beat KC easy. Oh well next week now

[ORDoubleBlues]

Despite a couple of recent hiccups, I'll plough on.
Feel the best bet this week is the visiting Detroit Lions at $2.10 to beat the struggling Arizona Cardinals.
For the Cardinals, Kurt Warner is a shadow of the player he once was at the QB position and his other competition for the job Matt Leinert is still injured. Feel that Detroit will win if they can score at least 20 points.
