I have had some luck playing proline with football ties. Usually play ten $2 tickets each Sunday. They usually pay $60-$80 each & I just need one to come through. I also include CFL games with NFL games as well.
Ties are tough to call, but if you bundle one or two with some strong favorites you can make a couple of bucks. Sometimes, I'll take a few favorites (3 or 4) and mix in some varying scenarios to play a 5 + game parlay at $2. The pay-off is pretty good and to me, is worth a gamble on $20 (10 tickets).
There were some swings in the lines from Saturday to today, notably, the Jets are now favored, Texans up to 9.5 (Oak has a rookie at QB) & the Cards have gone up to 9.5.
Some pics I am leaning towards...May change my mind come closer to game time...
* Jets -1.5: The Bills have lots of injuries and the Jets are coming off the bye
* Wash + 4.5: Philly stinks at home and Washington was embarrassed by the Eagles on the Monday night home opener. Revenge game?
* Bal +3: I'm not comfortable with either offense, but like the Ravens defense better. May be a good call for a tie (within 3). Note - Weather (high winds) may come into play
* Cincy -6.5: The Bengals are a different team at home, but the Browns have been playing good defense...Weather may play in here...
* Sea -13.5: The Seahawks have been dormant lately, time to break out of the slump
* Den -7.5: Broncos at home and the Chiefs finally play a strong team. I would like to see the Chiefs upset the Broncos (not a fan of Manning). This game will test how strong the KC defense is
* NE +1.5: Primetime, Brady, Dogs...I'll take NE over a still unproven Panther team (yes they beat SF last week, but SF was looking past them to the NO game)
Still Pondering...
* Tex -9.5: Oak has a rookie QB and there is a lot of emotion in Houston...
* TB +1: The Falcons are writing this season off
* Mia +3: After losing to the Bucs on Monday, time for them to regroup against a traveling Chargers team
* Det -3: A big step for the Lions to prove they are ready to take the division
* SF +4: Big game against NO. Leaning towards a field goal difference. SF's D vs NO's O
* GB +5.5: No matter who is at QB, I can't see the pack losing 3 straight
Good luck to all!
Week 12 - A few low spread games....
* TB +9: You never know when Detroit will break out, but the Bucs have been playing well of late. Detroit wins, but Bucs cover
* Minny +4.5: Not sold on the GB QB. Vikes should keep it close, may come down to a field goal
* Jags +10: The Texans have been a disappointment this season. Jags keep it close, but lose
* SD +5.5: KC doesn't win blow-outs. I think this will come down a 5 point game either way...
* Car -5.5: I like the Panthers to continue playing solid defense against the Dolphins
* Clv +1.5: Pro-line has the Steelers favored, whereas most books have the Browns favored. I'll take the Browns at home (they were embarassed last week)
* Rams -1: I like the Rams at home vs the Bears on the road
* NYJ +4.5: Tough game to call. NY defense has been solid and the Ravens offense weak. Baltimore plays good at home. Could be a field goal game
* Tenn -1: I think the Titans will bounce back from a tough loss against a suspect Raiders team
* Cards -1: Another tough game...Arizona is tough at home and the Colts have been rather average lately
* Dal +2.5: Though the Giants have been on a roll, it has been against weak teams. I'll take a rested Cowboy team to upset NY
* Den -2.5: Another great prime time match-up. Similar to last Sunday, I think Manning will get rid of the ball quickly and win this game by more than a TD
* SF -6: Washington has just not delivered this year. SF has been inconsistent, but I like them to go on a roll
Per the grey Cup I'll take the home team Roughies to rough up the Tiger-cats.
Football weather is fast approaching...

Here is my point spread ticket for tomorrow:
Miami +2.5 vs NE. Dolphins have not been good at home but they are improving. Pats have been 'tempting fate' in recent games & will miss Gronk.
Jax + 1 vs Buf. Jags have been playing well recently and the Bills have not been.
Clev + 2.5 vs Chic. Browns have been scoring a lot and have been in every game. Should have beaten the Pats last week. Bears had a big win on Monday night and this could be a let down game. Also have to travel on a short week.
These are home dogs that I think might win outright, points are a bonus!
Also played:
3 Tie Ticket
Buf-Jax
Cin-Pitt
Bal-Det
One win Two Tie
SF to win over TB
Mia-NE Tie
Buf-Jax Tie
Wash win over ATL
SF win over TB
Sew win over NYG
