NFL Picks: Monday Night Football – Redskins Cowboys

NFL Picks: Monday Night Football – Redskins Cowboys

I am a little bit nervous about this big of a spread in a rivalry game. These teams know each other well. The Cowboys might very well be overrated… and, evaluating this one less professionally, isn’t Tony Romo due for one of those games?

The Redskins also don’t warrant a +9 wager in my eyes. They’re dropping pretty far down the quarterback depth chart for this one, with RG3 out at least one more week. They have a liability at quarterback on an already poor team.

The reason I don’t like Cowboys -9 is, while I expect them to dominated, there are a few key factors outlined above that make me think this one might be close. I like an open parlay here. The Cowboys ML is steep, but it makes for a good parlay play because at home, even if close, I think the Cowboys win. I don’t like a  ... 

NFL Picks: Sunday Night Football – Packers at Saints

NFL Picks, Sunday Night Football: Green Bay Packers at New Orleans Saints

This looks like a trap. The Green Bay Packers have two thirds of the public money on them, yet the line has approached +3 from it’s humbler origins. Vegas is reacting the opposite way to money, which is a sign they know something we don’t. Let’s talk about what we do know:

New Orleans is a really difficult place to play and the Saints rarely lose at home.

Jimmy Graham is playing and should be better this week than last, which makes their offense much better.

The Saints are getting desperate.

The Packers aren’t that good. Lacy is off to a slow start, the offense is imbalanced, and the Saints defense might be able to contain this middling bunch. It’s all about noise and pressure.

I think the Saints give the Packers a game, and unless there is a sharp line reversal at game time, I’m  ... 

NFL Picks Week 8: Thursday Night Football, Chargers at Broncos

Thursday Night Football Picks, Week Eight: Chargers Broncos

NFL Picks: San Diego Chargers at Denver Broncos

I liked this game when the spread came out around 7, but now that it’s up to ten it’s starting to lose value for me. The same appears to be true of the computer algorithm, which suggests a 91% likelihood of a money line win for the Broncos, but diminishing value in the spread and the line – particularly as it has moved.

This game, for me, comes down to a few basic factors. Unfortunately, some of them are rather intangible.

Home field on a short week always favors the home team. To travel into a noisy stadium and attempt to execute your offense in a hostile environment when you aren’t fully prepared to face a defensive scheme is incredibly difficult – especially when contrasted against the peaceful quiet the home team operates under. It directly impacts the game. That said, Peyton Manning  ... 

ZCODE POD iPHONE 6 & CASH CHAMPIONSHIP – NFL & NHL KING 2014 – ROUND 3 RECAP

ROUND 3 RECAP

Beautifully! Another fantastic round and contenders finished in solid profit overall! Most trustful team in round 3 was Anaheim, 4 of 8 best contenders made a profit on Ducks. Round 3 finished also first stage in points classification. This means top 30 players were awarded with first pool of points. Note that bankroll reset doesn’t affect stage profit, it resets only main bankroll. This is why David(davidsalda79) didn’t receive points despite he is now at 25th position. However David perfectly used bankroll reset and now he is back on track. Also Kaushik(sicariouz) and Rogelio(rospefle)  ... 

NHL Picks: Buffalo Sabres at Anaheim Ducks

NHL Picks: Buffalo Sabres at Anaheim Ducks

The line is a little sharp, but this is one of those games you don’t want to overthink. Let’s break this down in terms of every parameter in my system.

The Buffalo Sabres might be the worst team in hockey. The Anaheim Ducks are one of the best.

The Buffalo Sabres are on the road across the country. The Anaheim Ducks are in the middle of a comfortable home stand.

The Buffalo Sabres have lost two in a row, both at home, where they haven’t scored a single goal. The Anaheim Ducks  ...

NFL Picks Contest Week 8 ($200 Prizes): Packers Saints

Someone tell me how the Saints are favored after how horrible they’ve been all year? This is a straightforward Las Vegas trap game if I’ve ever seen one – even though I know the Saints are much better at home in the dome. Heck, that’s probably what the trap is being laid for… so who ya got? Saints -1 is the line, but for our purposes let’s just make it a pick ’em.

Well, a few of you got risky and it definitely didn’t work out. There is some serious clutter at the top as a result, especially with second place taking home some prize money, too.

NFL Picks Week Seven, Sunday Night Football: Niners Broncos

NFL Picks Week Seven: San Francisco 49ers +6.5 at Denver Broncos

Contest Game, Sunday Night Football

For me, the only reason I’ll be watching this game is because Peyton Manning is two touchdowns shy of an NFL record. Additionally, that probably gives him an even bigger stage to perform on and he rarely lets us down on his home field.

That being said, while I don’t think the 49ers are all that good (and highly dysfunctional, San Francisco is playing excellent football lately. To think they can’t keep it within a touchdown is strange. +7 with the hook looks like  ...
