The NFL - National Football League (Page 63 of 94)

Hey, just for kicks why don't you guys make your picks with the Vegas spread and see how well you fair? I was offered a ticket to the Browns/Raiders game, but we're going to see rain of biblical proportions from Fri. thru Sun. and I don't enjoy sporting/music events in the rain. There's a Toys For Tots fundraiser with 8 local favorite bands goin' on that afternoon that is more appealing. I'll post the Vegas Line and see if any of you wanna run with the Big Dogs.

                                                                                               Go Dawgs!!!

Aw, J Dawg, you going to miss the game?  They got mighty fine Bar-B-Q out there, even if it is pouring rain.  Even though it may be raining Cats and Dogs ,  don't you guys get Snow when you play in Cleveland? 

It's gonna be a mud bowl maybe that day.  See which team that will help.  Well enjoy your music that afternoon.  I will be watching the game.  Hope it is on TV. 

Since I am a Cat^-^, I think I will stay away from the Vegas line and the "Big Dogs". 

Ha ,Ha, my team even with Vegas Line is Pick Em.  So guess what, Oakland for the Win, Alex

I never thought I'd hear someone claim to use Viagra as a performance enhancer on the field.....Brandon Marshalls own words....there is a joke in there I think, I just cant find myself doing the punch line...anyone??

I understand the "point spread", but don't understand the application of over / under added in.  You just take or give points and pick a winner and then whether the scores added together are also over or under the total numbers given??? And those numbers are the over first, under second?..

I don't bet football, so I am sure trying that out could prove why...

Rocket, you don't need to pick a team for the over/under.
Very simply pick if the combined score is going to be over or under the number Vegas shows.

ATL covered the spread and the total was under 56 points, sorry Bill. I understand why you would pick MINN, but when betting the line I have to remind myself not to bet from the heart. I heard today Tyrelle Pryor may be suited up Sun. for the Raiders and Tres says Trent Richardson isn't a mudder, but the Browns are improving, the Raiders are floundering. I'll stick wif da Dawgs!

Rocket, you don't need to pick a team for the over/under.

The way it works is pretty simple. You pick which team you think will beat the point spread, example: You pick SF to beat StL by 7 points(the spread). The Niners win by 6 points, you lose that bet. Say the Niners win by 7 points, you still lose since ties go to the house. Smart thing to do is bet games with a spread with a half point, no tie that way. The over/unders are bet separately. The SF/StL total is 40, you think they'll total more points than that take the over. You think they'll total less bet the under. Of course a tie is also a loser, but over/unders sometimes come with half points too. Then you have to consider who's injured, the weather, who plays better on the road, who's better @ home, the history between the teams playing, what players wife is pregnant or just filed for divorce, etc., etc., etc. Like I said it's pretty simple. Remember, sportsbooks aren't in business to make YOU rich!!!
