ugh. gotta take a break from bowl games for some boring-ass nfl crap.
here is my annual reminder.... if you bet a team because "they need this game", then you should stop betting on sports IMMEDIATELY.
atlanta (pk) 4 units. one last chance to bet against tampa at home, where they have been really bad this year.
cincinnati (ML) 2 units to win 2.5
clev/cin over (43.5) 3 units. one last chance to bet against this cleveland browns team. what a joke. they shot their wad (wadd?) last week against baltimore. the bengals have been playing meaningless games all year. this is their wheelhouse. this may be just a rumor, but i heard the role of the browns' defense will be played by the kirtland hornets, who in their last game held the ironton fighting tigers to 7 points.
baltimore (ML) 2 units to win 2.2
pitt/balt under (37) 2 units. here we go... the steelers need this game. blah blah blah. duck's magic has worn off and he has looked like the 3rd stringer that he is. but, more importantly, no pouncey today. the steelers are going to struggle to move the ball. on the other side of the ball... DAMN YOU TO HELL, GAMBLING GODS, FOR MAKING ME BET ON RGIII!!! fuck. i'm hoping their defense can score the 10 points they'll need to win this game.
nyg (+4) 2 units
nyg (ML) 1 unit to win 1.7. the eagles just have to win this game to make the playoffs. AND I JUST NEED 5 MINUTES TO CONVINCE SCARLETT JOHANSSON TO BE MY WIFE!!! we all need things that we're never going to get. the eagles needed the game against the dolphins. AND THEY LOST TO THE FUCKING DOLPHINS. oh, and no zach ertz today.
sorry, i don't know why i'm yelling so much this morning. i blame the flu that i've been fighting for a week now. i'm getting ornery. well, the flu and multiple late losses in bowl games.
arizona (+6) 2 units. i was going to play the ML, but for some reason at the casino yesterday, this was literally the only wager available on this game. and now, of course, the line is up to 7. i'm assuming murray is hobbled by that hamstring. and if he ain't mobile, well, he's going to look like a mediocre rookie. but i don't care, because this wager is strictly against the rams. they are wrapping up a hugely disappointing season, that featured completely gutless efforts against the ravens and cowboys. my guess is they can't start the offseason quickly enough.
denver (-3.5) 1 unit. i really debated whether or not to make this bet. the raiders know they are a longshot to make the playoffs, but every game that will impact that possibility starts at 4:25. so it's not like they could be eliminated prior to kickoff. but our friendly linesmakers, knowing full well that the raiders are starting this game with a chance at the playoffs, made them not a 3-point underdog at the very mediocre denver broncos, they made them a 3.5-point dog. in fact, it may have even opened at 4 or 4.5. a line that is BEGGING for raiders money. ok, so fuck it. i'm laying over a fg with the crappy broncos offense. i'm hoping that by halftime tennessee is crushing the texans and the raiders don't even come out of the locker room for the second half. is the final score of a forfeit still 7-0? (shit, i just looked it up. it would be 2-0.)
