The Football Challenge at Station Casinos Week 12

[WhatsHisNuts]

After a good week 11 (4-1), I'm hoping to stay hot and keep grinding my way towards the top of the leaderboard.

Lions +2.5 I didn't hear Roy Williams guaranteeing a victory this week, so they have a chance. I am a little scared about the Joey Harrington factor, but the Lions might be just as happy to have a chance at burying this idiot.
What's everyone betting: MIA 83% DET 17%

Chiefs +1 Something tells me that this line asking for Denver money. I'll go with my gut and hope the Chies roll the Plumber.
What's everyone betting: DEN 38% KC 62% (wow)

Bills +3 I like betting against teams that played on Monday Night. The short week coupled with having to go on the road makes it a difficult spot for the Jags.
What's everyone betting: JAX 73% BUF 27%

Eagles +9.5 This one makes me ill, but I have to think the Eagles are a good value at 9.5. One man doesn't make a team, but losing Donovan is going to hurt.
What's everyone betting: IND 69% PHI 31%

Bears +3 This was a last minute selection. I was going with the Browns +3 until I heard the local beat writer talking about how the Brownies were devastated after their last minute loss to the Steelers. I don't have anything to add to this pick other than that the Pats have dicked me over EVERY time I have bet against them.
What's everyone betting: NE 61% CHI 39%

Just missed the cut:
Browns +3
TB +11

Last week I read that over the last 6 weeks, teams backed by the public >75% were something like 12 and 44......less than 20%

The is a weird year....for the no fun league.

gl on your picks

man im shocked you went 4-1. I didnt see your post last week. I looked once but not real hard. the reason im saying i was shocked was because the week before i thought the public was gonna have a big week and i told you a split would be nice. I was totally wrong two weeks ago but last week the public won big time. Good to see you danced around it. Okay here is my take on your games.
First game i havent hit this game my whole life. I usually hit the total but this first game on Thanksgiving i never win. I like Miami so this may be a good sign for you. Im not even gonna bet it. The total is always obvious but this one i dont like.
Kc game im leaning this way not sure yet
Bills i like a lot.
Eagles i like but wouldnt bet it just yet.
Bears i kinda like the other side.
This is a tough week. I kinda like cleveland and washington so far. Good luck bud. It gets tougher from here on out.

Thanks Sponge, it's definitely going to be a tough road from here on out. I'll be riding dogs the whole way.

After Turkey Day, I'm sitting 1-1 for the week. Not bad, but I was close to taking Tampa, so chalk that up as a near miss. I did put a small cash bet on TB, but I left them off the Challenge card (thank God).

That Detroit game was just a complete abortion. Just when I think they couldn't be any worse, they prove me wrong. I bet the Raiders could walk into Detroit and pick up a win.

i actually went 3-0 on turkey day taking miami in second half, Dallas, and under my big bet on the KC game. I never went three and oh on turkey day. I have been so pissed that i can't win on this day that i looked at every freaking note i have made thru the years and went over them religiously. So i finally start this week up instead of fighting to get it back. I like , can you believe i got in a real heated debate about this team with another guy on another site that he offered me a bet i wouldn't take because i actually didn't want to take his money. He gave me the under 9 games with Detroit. I told him to keep his money and he was trying to shame me into the bet but i know this kid would never win. I told him Kitna is between average to terrible and with that offensive line he would be awful. I told him the defense was terrible and the only one who was any good was that stud 92 rodgers i think his name was. He based everything on the coach. I told him his first move with Kitna was bad. I told him if they got 4 wins id be surprised. Man he was begging me to bet and i had watched him thru the years handicap and i knew he couldn't cap but i wasn't there to take another players money. He kept telling me i knew nothing about football. He also was one of those guys that when didn't get his way on a site he would rat ya out big time to monitors. I feel like going back there to give him a little dig but he will cry like he always does and they will throw me out.
