    Where the hell is The Fixer at? I'm talking to myself in this thread.


    Took GB at +3 and Seattle at +3 as well. Happy I got Seahawks there before it moved down to 2.5. Not sure how I feel about the other games yet. I like the over in Pats-Texans.

    I kind of like the under in Balt/Den. Supposed to be pretty cold, and I think The Ray vens game plan has to be ball control to try and keep Frankenstein on the sidelines. (Of course if Rice-a Roni fumbles like last week, that strategy will fail.)

    haha, I was on an involuntary vacation (if you know what I mean).

    I killed it last week too. 4-0 on the nfl games (baltimore straight, SF ML, ATL ML, NE/Hous over)... (7-1 if you include all of my half/qtr plays). My biggest bet was the ATL moneyline. that 4th qtr almost put me into cardiac arrest.

    Disappointing to see the SF line taking off. I should have jumped on the 3.5 on sunday night. now it's up to 4.5. I will still end up taking SF. Hope the line moves back to 4 or up to 5. not much of a difference in 4 or 5 and it would save me the money I'm going to spend buying the half point.

    Leaning with baltimore in the late game...also considering the over.

    pats line dropping, 9ers line rising. should have put my bets in earlier. I'm an idiot.

    what's everyone else like in these games?

    Went out for beers tonight and I was saying the same thing. NO ONE is on atlanta. You know what that means

    I love SF. Prob thinking about it to much. Have a tendency to do that with big games that get overhyped and overanalyzed.

    Had the same conversation with by buddy over some beers last night. I hate betting Atlanta, but that might be the play. I dont know what the fuck to do with that game. I do know that I love Baltimore. Like you said earlier, that line is dropping. Should have taken them on Monday at 9. I still love them at 8.5. These games are always close with these 2 teams. Also took the over in the game earlier this week at 51....that has been going up as well.

    On Colin Cowherd's show, a guy from Vegas revealed that 2/3 of the money in the AFC game is bet on NE. Wouldn't they adjust the line if that were the case?

    It has gone down. It opened at 9 and now it is at 7.5. I'm guessing it will go down to 7 by kickoff.

    Had an eight-game winning streak on streak for the cash and got greedy and saw the streak end when Andy Murray didn't win in nine games or less.

    Made some small plays yesterday, which gives me more money to play with today
    Wins...cuse/lou over (was largest bet of day), prov ML (I love betting against nova...I hate them), arizona
    Losses...philly flyers and mizzou (they got destroyed)

    Good call on NE, now down to 7.

    Sick of thinking about the games too much. I'm just going with the two teams that I think are best in their respective games.

    SF Straight (bought it half point) -4 (large bet)
    SF ML -225 (medium bet)
    Teased SF to +2, NE to -.5 (bought a half point in each game) (medium bet)

    My current pats line is -7 @ -135. I hate when my bookie does that shit. I don't want to lay 135 for every 100 I bet. Bullshit. Gonna wait to see what happens in first game before I submit my play for that one.

    3 games left in the season. Good luck today

    (I also played the flyers small at even money...and I like the NYR tonight at -120)

    will gladly take the push. perfect example of why you should always buy the hook my friends. protects you against turds like david akers.

    That douglas catch call was ridiculous. god, the nfl sucks. what good is replay if they can't get calls right? Oh, that's right...to add even more commercials to these terrible broadcasts.

    Still won my ML bet and the first half of my teaser.

    Fuck it, I'm going big on brady. Go pats

    It was a great championship Sunday. I ended up getting Atlanta at +4.5. It's always nice to come out on the right end of the hook. Had the over in that game too. Had Baltimore with the points and on the ML at +290. Had a small play on the over in the late game which was my only loss of the day. A very profitable day.

    Love the Ravens at +4 in the Super Bowl.

    nice dude. I didn't make out so well after the pats abortion.

    Hoping the line gets down to 3. I think SF is going to win. If I can get them around -150 on the ML I will be making a large wager. I think Jim is the better coach and has the more talented team. Give him two weeks to prepare and I don't think he loses. should be a good game

    I wouldn't be surprised if it goes down to 3. I still like Baltimore at 3. I should probably just take it now at 3.5. Maybe buy the 1/2 point and make it 4. I think it will be a really close game. SF may be the more talented team, but their D hasn't played very well the past 2 weeks giving up 31 to GB and 24 to Atlanta.

    true about the defense, but I don't think the ravens have the weapons in the pass game that GB and ATL do. I like the matchup for SF on both sides of the ball. only think I worry about is akers...he is horrendous

    I also have zero faith in jim caldwell calling plays. I know he has looked competent in playoffs, but I don't see how that continues.

    Yeah, definitely not as good WRs w/ Balt as GB and ATL had. But Boldin has been a beast and Torrey Smith is a huge deep threat. The Ravens kinda have the feel of the Giants w/ the 2 super bowls that they have won recently. Kinda squeaking into the playoffs, winning on the road and upsetting teams.
