***Official NFL Week 8 Betting Thread***

[ROCKET 0]

As someone posted earlier I think this game is about as even as you can get. I also know the public will ride the Pats yet again. Why wouldn't they ? as some people have made enough $$ off them over the last 3-4 years to send their kids to college. With that being said I'm taking Minny for a small wager. The game I'm really looking forward to is next Sunday night as the Pats run the ball down Indy's throat all night and hand them their first loss as Adam V misses wide left as time expires

[GridIronAssassin#1 0]

I have to wait for in game to make my decision tonight. I want to see if Minnesota gets pressure, and how the secondary looks.

 

Good luck all

[KC Chef Jeff 0]

I have looked at this game up and down and sideways, and have yet to find a reason to go with Minny.

 

Explain, please.

 

See my post above. Also see PhillyBear's post. Merely his vote for Minn is reason enough to go with Minny.

 

Best of luck whichever way ya go!

Your all welcome.

I took Minnesota +177 moneyline. 1 unit

 

I added Minnesota +364 moneyline .5 unit

 

added Minnesota +430 moneyline .5 unit

added Minnesota +490 moneyline .25 unit

added Minnesota +7 +279 ===> .25 unit

 

 

 

Odds move fast in game. You have to have a quick trigger finger.

I went with the Patriots -1.5 before game.

 

Several key spots for Brady to run and gain at least 4, but thus far, he has not. Is he playing hurt?

 

I play in game as well, GIA, but intertops never opens up the odds, the odds for all categories are almost all blocked out.

 

I think they learned from me over the past two years and now don't offer as many opportunities for ilve betting as they should.

[Yer mom 2]

Very uncharachteristic of Johnson here early....may have to do some in-game betting here.

 

Ho-hum.

I was big customer of Intertops for a few years. But I haven't reupped there in about a year and half. I mostly used them for baseball odds, but used them for other stuff too. I'm using Pinny right now.

[McPaul 0]

I've been in Pinny for the majority of this year. took a couple months off, and just came back. They are giving me difficulties with my credit card atm. so I went back to intertops. Pinny has just so much better odds, and more options to lay down on.

 

I like those playbook pass diagrams but they did a much better job last year when the view was from behind the QB.

Ho-hum.

 

BJ screwed up everything with that goalline INT. Had Over 39. It was up to 43.5 in live betting and would have likely been 45-46 after a score. Oh well.

 

Need 6 more completions from Capt. Butt Chin and then I can try to get my bet back somehow.

Damnit I was out playing basketball and missed all this

Even funnier...that offensive pass interference on Minnesota

 

Having Minnesota +2.....not funny. They really blew it at the end of the quarter here not using their timeouts to give themselves a shot in a situation where NE was going to score at least a field goal regardless. Stupid coaching moves by Min right now....killer defensive plan fellas, drop your entire team into the secondary and let Brady pick you apart.

 

Taking Minnesota -3 in the 2nd half and REALLY not feeling too strong about it. They get the ball to start the.....why reason, its not a bright bet. Someones having a case of the Mondays.

 

Good Luck!!

Exactly....I think you've got the better bet my friend..

 

I should of fired on Young to win the derby....that was a strong play.

 

Good Luck!!

[GiantsRule 0]

Can't buy my bet back, but I'm going to try and hit a slight middle:

 

2H Over 17.5 (-130)

 

2H Under 19.5 (-105)

 

18 or 19 points in the 2nd half, or a 23 point 2nd half would be nice to see. I'm not holding my breath though.

[GridIronAssassin#1 0]

Ok, will we see any kind of Minnesota comeback tonight? Let's just make it a close game...

[Nap 0]

The safe money traditionally on MNF games is to take the "under". It's less sexy, but it's the most reliable bet traditionally in high-profile, national broadcasts. I suspect the reason for this is because MNF draws in more casual bettors who feel like they need to bet on the "only game of the night", or those wishing to win back money lost over the weekend.

 

In any case, MNF always sees more action. Casual bettors often go with the "over" for various reasons. I like to think that people bet the "over" because it's more fun to get excited when teams score, and you are planning to watch an exciting game. The O/U on these games tends to be a bit inflated.

 

Take a look at MNF this season thus far:

 

Week 1:

Minnesota 19, Washington 16 UNDER

San Diego 27, Oakland 0 UNDER

 

Week 2:

Jacksonville 9, Pittsburgh 0 UNDER

 

Week 3:

New Orleans 23, Atlanta 3 UNDER

 

Week 4:

Philadelphia 31, Green Bay 9 UNDER

 

Week 5:

Denver 13, Baltimore 3 UNDER

 

Week 6:

Chicago 24, Arizona 23 OVER

 

Week 7:

N.Y. Giants 36, Dallas 22 OVER

 

---------------------------

 

So far, we have 6 Unders and only 2 Overs (and I view the AZ/CHI game as a fluke; 99% of the time Chicago doesn't score 3 TD's off defense and special teams in final quarter). This is a trend that is prevalent most seasons in the NFL.

 

I am not particularly hyped up about this game, and probably won't even make a play on the O/U, but if I did, I'd play the odds - UNDER.

 

Did anyone take the under based on my post? It's looking good right now, 17-0 early in the 3rd. After I wrote this several hours ago, I came home and put a couple of units on the under. Looks like my good weekend is continuing...

You shouldn't jinx yourself like that. Big gambling faux pas.

 

Hoping Minny can score here so I can buy back the over.

 

ETA: So much for that. Dumbass Vikes!

I did......its looking good right now.

 

 

I figured i took New England and the under....and both look good right now......not going to push my luck with any second half plays.

[Yer mom 2]

EVEN FUNNIER!!! Kornholio has MEWELDE MOORE starting on his fantasy team!!

 

What a tool.

 

Good Luck!!

Haha...i heard that. He says that every week.....

 

 

So much for the under

 

not looking good now.

[GiantsRule 0]

OK my fellow greedy bastards...do I hedge now after two quick scores...or let it ride?

 

Olympic put up 45 so I had to do it. Have Over 39 and Under 45. So total points of 40-44 can turn a split night into a very happy night.

 

Naturally, it's now at 45.5 and rising but still!

 

Now 46...damn quick trigger!

[Nap 0]

Yikes, looks like I did jinx myself. Right after I posted Mewelde takes a kick to the house, and now the Pats score after a mile long return.

 

31 points now, need to keep it under 40 (or 39, depending on when you placed bet).

[GiantsRule 0]

Dammit...48 now. Could have had more than 2 TDs to play with.

 

And just like that, back down to 44.

[Yer mom 2]

Alright im done...this is fixed. Overturning that call was absoultely fockin ridiculous....going to the gym to beat the fock out of the bag.

Bollinger, now the under is a reality again

can you say fock rule i mean tuck rule?

?

FG. Please hit a FG and then stop. Please!?!?

 

Wow! Like I needed another reason to hate fvcking Brady!

[R8dr Fan 87 0]

FG. Please hit a FG and then stop. Please!?!?

that works for me. will win my parlay with the chiefs indy and pats. will win the brady over 18.5 completions. will win my 2nd half pats +3 halftime bet and my pats -2.5 over 40. what a great night for me

[Nap 0]

OMG, the Pats went for it on 4th down instead of kicking a FG, which would have hit the "over". Now the under is still a vague possibility.....

A TD will still give me a win and a push (because I jumped the gun on the line). Unless of course, they go for (and make) two.

[McPaul 0]

quite a profitable game.

Good night.

[cyclone24 1,913]

Holy crap....the under is still alive!!!??

 

 

Thanks Minny for going on 4th down there.....sweet.

 

Take the air out of the ball NE

No sh!t! I hope the Colts win 100-0 next week. No reason you can't give the kid (Gostkowski) some confidence by letting him kick a long, but makeable, one in a blowout with plenty of time left. Nope. Brady has to keep passing...because it's part of the gameplan. It's not like he's padding his stats...like Peyton Manning.
