pit 12. STL 6.
The total went up up up from 47 to 48.5. The favorite flipped with STL -1 at post, and CGT even went to -2 for awhile Sunday morning.
The Rams were shockingly inept vs. a suspect Steeler Defense. Both teams stayed under 300 yards, but even with Big Ben going out in the 3rd quarter, the Rams could not even cover the 2nd half line. Philly traded Foles for a reason.....he just isn't very good.
sd 14 MIN 31.
The stats looked pretty equal in this game, but sd was badly outplayed. Min lost @ Sf week1, getting blown out. That score is still hard to believe at this point.
tb 9 HOU 19.
I don't understand how tb got 318 yards and HOU 413, and yet it stayed UNDER 30 points. Tb averaged 5.7 yards per play, had only 1 turnover, and only got 9 points. That's hard to do!
Philly 24 NYJ 17
The box score shows Philly with ony 231 yards, and 3.4 yards per play, however they were up 24-0, so they were sitting on the lead......the bettors bet this one up all the way to NYJ -3-120 at post........and they never had a chance.
No 22 CAR 27.
The bettors bombed in bets on CAR, the line went as high as -10. The sharp had played Carolina -3 at the opener before the Brees news broke. Car -3 good. Car -10 bad.
Jax 17. NE 51.
I know better. I took a shot with Jax +14 at post, as the line inflated to 14. NE has been great ATS in all roles, but not good laying double digits. However, you don't make money betting the worst team's in the NFL vs. the best teams. NEVER AGAIN!
Cin 28 BALT 24.
UNDER bettors were looking phat until this one simply exploded late in the game. Cincy got the last score, and with it the cover. Cincy averaged 7 yards per play, Balt 6, so hard to feel too bad for 'under' bettors that got trainwrecked.
Oak 27 CLEV 20
Oak NEVER wins in the East, and they never win off a win. A misleading final as Oak amassed 7.6 yards per play, Clev 5.2. It's going to be a very long year in Cleveland....
Indy 35 Ten 33.
My 3* OVER DID come thru here with an easy win. Both teams had close to 400 yards of offense in a wild evenly played game. If Ten fails to contend for the he playoffs they can look back at this game for the reason.....note the Titans stay in Tennessee for the entire month of October, so this team should continue to improve....
Atl 39. Dal 28.
I had Dal as one of my top 5 worst teams in the NFL. Perhaps I over-rated them......I criticized Atl for trading up to get Julio Jones.......oops. Never mind.
sf 7 AZ 47.
I said Winston's two pick interceptions were the worst I had ever seen by an NFL qb. Kaep's two broke the record 2 week's later. He looked like Paul Crew in the 3rd qtr vs. the guards trying to throw the game........."everyone can see your dumping". Wow. Bettors bet this up from -6.5 to -7. They had the right idea.
Chic 0 SEA 26.
EVERYONE bet Sea. Sharps. The Public. See the Ne/Jax write up. This game went as high as -17, and shows the perils of being a book and just copying the opener.....as you got crushed taking bets -14.5 up to the -17.
Buf 41 MIA 14.
Pre London teams Jets and Mia both burned money this week (this has been an under the radar trend). I don't think it was London........this Miami team is massively over-rated, and the sharps bet it down from Buf +3 to close to pk'm. They had the right side......
Den 24 DET 12
The Pistol formation is working for Denver, as their offense is improving and Manning threw for 300 yards, more than enough when you have that Denver D working for you......
On the capping front, I had a bad football week, but my 3*s have been MONEY. I've released a 3* with early value in CFB.
