2012-13 NFL betting thread
- Thread starter freestuff
- Start date
Good call on the Bucs. Interesting stat about a road team due to win.
Other games I am leaning towards...
* Dolphins +3
* Chargers -4
* Eagles -1.5
* Redskins +4
* Colts +3.5
* Cowboys +3
Good luck to all!
Ref, I agree with you on every one of those except Dolphins, I'm taking the Jets at home. I was all over the TB victory on Thursday so hopefully that momentum continues. Other games I like this week
Denver -6.5 vs New Orleans. The Saints have the worst pass defense in NFL Peyton should rip them apart.
Carolina +7.5 at Chicago. Call me crazy I know the Panthers have been horrible offensively but the Bears are on a short week. I see a sloppy close game decided by a FG.

Ya made some decent cash off that game. Monday night have to go with Cards +7 hosting SF. Good luck if you play, i think its a good shot getting a TD at home in the division game.
K hope the Ravens keep it close or win that game for you. Fuck Cards stunk it up tonight. I was done by half-time and took a hit to the book balance, they can't even get one TD at home?! What a joke
Week 9 picks
1. I'm going to go against the grain and say Colts +1.5 at home to Dolphins. Pagano will be in attendance I think that gives them a boost.
2. Gonna stick with hot hand and take Broncos -3.5 at Cincinnati. Peyton is on fire and defense has stepped up.
3. Saints -3 at home to Eagles on Monday night. The Eagles are a lost bunch, Vick is almost done and the o line hasn't been opening holes for McCoy.
4. Pack -11 at home to the Cards. Its a lot of points but considering Arizona has scored an avg of 9 pts per game the past 4 weeks gotta lay it.

Here you go Ref. I'm not a big fan of this week's matchups but my top 3
Falcons -1 at Saints. Ryan should be able to pick apart this d.
Dolphins -6 vs Titans. Locker is back for Titans will need to shake off the rust.
Texans +1 at Bears. As long as they don't turn ball over I like Houston here simply because they are a better all around team.

Last week was pedestrian. Hopefully a better week 11
Packers -5.5 at Lions. Despite being obliterated with injuries they are on a 4 game winning streak and looking good. Lions have underwhelmed.
Browns +9 at Cowboys. What have the Boys done to warrant being a 9 pt favourite?
Bucs -1 at Panthers. Is this some sort of a trap. Carolina is 2-7 shouldn't they be at least a FG underdogs. I like TB they are finally getting it.
Ravens -3 at Steelers. I don't see Leftwich keeping Pitt in this game.
Packers -5.5 at Lions. Despite being obliterated with injuries they are on a 4 game winning streak and looking good. Lions have underwhelmed.
Browns +9 at Cowboys. What have the Boys done to warrant being a 9 pt favourite?

Ravens -3 at Steelers. I don't see Leftwich keeping Pitt in this game.
I like the Pack and Browns as well.
I am also leaning towards...
* Eagles. With Vick out they may go with the running game
* Jets. Just a hunch with them because they have been dusted the last couple of weeks.
* Raiders. I think the Saints will be a little flat coming off of last week
The Ravens/Steelers game should be fun to watch
Week 12 - Leaning towards:
* SF +.5 (I will take the SF defense over NO)
* Pit -2.5 (Bounce back game from last week...plus they play the Browns)
* Oak +9.5 (Cincy due for a let down)
* Bal -2.5 (SD is too inconsistent, though they did beat the Ravens in a similar scenario last year)
* TB +3 (Falcons seem to win with mirrors...)
* Stl +2.5 (Arizona is down to their 3rd, 4th, 5th string QB)
The GB - Giants game should be a good match.
* SF +.5 (I will take the SF defense over NO)
* Pit -2.5 (Bounce back game from last week...plus they play the Browns)
* Oak +9.5 (Cincy due for a let down)
* Bal -2.5 (SD is too inconsistent, though they did beat the Ravens in a similar scenario last year)
* TB +3 (Falcons seem to win with mirrors...)
* Stl +2.5 (Arizona is down to their 3rd, 4th, 5th string QB)
The GB - Giants game should be a good match.
Ref, I agree with you on SF, Pit, Oak and Bal. I think Atl will beat TB in the aerial attack while Ariz defense will do enough to win an ugly one. Rams don't fare too well on road.
KC +10.5 vs Den. Arrowhead is a tough stadium to play in let alone cover a double digit spread as a visitor.
Ind -3 vs Buf. Colts are 4-1 at home.
Sea -3 at Mia. The Dolphins come into this game putting up 2 absolute stinkers. Shithawks are better at home than on road but are clearly the better squad right now.
The Giants/Packers and Bears/Vikings are too close to call, anything can happen there.

Surprising number of teams technically still in it…I’m going to call ‘em all:
FYI - Spreads based on pro-line odds, so there may be some value vs. the regular books
• GB -4: GB is playing well and the Bears are hurting defensively
• Indy +9.5: The Texans must be reeling after getting dusted in NE. I would look for a bounce back game, but I get the feeling they may not be ready for Luck
• Den -3.5: Tough game to call…The Ravens have a few injuries on defense, not to mention a new offensive coordinator
• Jak +7.5: Miami has played well, but they never blow out teams
• Browns +.5: RGIII will not be in the line-up and the Browns are at home
• STL -1.5: I like Rams at home better than the Vikes on the road, though Peterson may make me switch…still a few hours before kick off.
• NO -4.5: This game will have lots of scoring – I like The Saints to outlast the Bucs in that department
• Atl -.5: The Falcons have a great home record, not to mention some motivation to beat a Giant team that humiliated them in the play-offs last year
• Sea -6.5: A road game for both teams. Tough call, but I’ll give the nod to Seattle’s offense
• Car +3: This is a coin flip for me. SD is really good at losing games they should win
• Ariz +7: Another coin flip. The Cards were embarrassed last week and are at home. Detroit has been a disappoint this year…Only playing for stats
• KC+3.5: Yet another coin flip. KC has a good record against the Raiders
• Dal +2.5: I like the Cowboys getting points at home. Mind you, this game will probably screw me because Pitt always screws me up!
• SF +6: Should be a great game. Mind you, the Pats handled Houston in a similar situation last Monday.
• NYJ +1.5: Someone fire the scheduler! What a dog game for a Monday night late in the season.
My top picks – GB, Cleveland & Atl.

My top picks – GB, Cleveland & Atl.
Interesting to note that Browns are now a 4 pt favorite. I'm just not sure on that game even with RGIII out.
My top picks for week 15
Mia -7.5 vs Jax
NE -6 vs SF (Pats look unbeatable right now)
Indy +10.5 at Hou. The Hou pass d has been horrific the past month gotta think Indy can keep within a TD score.
