Week 5- I want my money back

[DiceMan]

After getting my ass handed to me last weekend, I decided not to take any early bets and wait until Free Hook Friday to make my decisions. I'm glad I did, because several lines I was looking at moved in my favor and I'll be getting the free hook on top of it.

My favorite day of the week is only an hour and a half away, so I'll open this week's thread if anyone has any advice to throw my way. Here are my leans. (I'll include the free hook when I list these, because that's what I'll be taking them at. These are not the actual lines.)

New Orleans -6 (3 Units) This may be my first 3 Unit bet of the season.

New England -9 (1 Unit) I finally feel comfortable putting money on my team!

St. Louis -3 (1 Unit) Still unsure of this one. Green Bay's play is very erratic though, and St. Louis is a confident but quiet team.

Cleveland +8.5 (1 Unit)

Pittsburgh +4 (1 Unit)

Baltimore +4.5 (1 Unit)

(Had to edit, sorry. Forgot to add the hook to a couple.)

 

[DiceMan]

Locked in on two games tonight. I'll work on the rest tomorrow.

New Orleans -6 (2 Units) May add more on this later.
New England -9 (1 Unit) I'm still laughing at the writers who picked Miami to take the AFC East from the Pats this year.

 

[Santacapper]

Like those Browns Dice. GL

 

[DiceMan]

Glad you agree Santa, just locked in two more.

Cleveland +8.5 (1 Unit)

Dallas/Philadelphia Over 43 (1 Unit)

Only got 4 bets so far. I still want to keep this week conservative.

I'm liking your picks,I have half of them wagered already. I Like the Dallas/Phila over, but I'm not aloud to use it in parlay currently and intend on it with Jets/Jaguars over 37, Miami/New England over 37 and Pitts/San Diego under 37.5
Good Luck for week 5.

That's good, because I decided not to get any action on the St. Louis game, and the New England game is partially a homer bet. I'd never make a bet I didn't think could pay off, but if I wasn't from MA I don't think I'd be taking the -9 against NE.

good luck on your dog plays, bro....some of the plays look too good to be true, and you might have a great weekend if thats a fact...hard to fade the broncos, i love NO and NE!

 

[DiceMan]

Added 3 more. A dog, a fav, and an O/U. Nothing beats diversity.

Indianapolis -18 (2 Units)
Baltimore +4.5 (1 Unit)
Detroit/Minnesota Under 40.5 (1 Unit)

I'll wait till the first round of games are over tomorrow before I put any more down on the later games. Still not sure how much I'll have to risk this week.

gl dm!!

 

[DiceMan]

Well, I'm 3-3 so far, but 2 of those losses were 2 unit bets. I like to think I made out all right considering the craziness that was the Colts almost losing to the Titans, Minnesota's 2 defensive touchdowns, and Cleveland kicking me a miracle FG in the closing second of the game to cover the spread.

Winners

New England -9 (1 Unit)
Cleveland +8.5 (1 Unit)
Dallas/Philadelphia Over 43 (1 Unit)

Losers

New Orleans -6 (2 Units)
Indianapolis -18 (2 Units)
Detroit/Minnesota Under 40.5 (1 Unit)

Overall Today - -2 Units

Sunday Night Chaser - San Diego -3 (1 Unit)

And a couple small props

Miller vs. Gates - Heath Miller +20.5 Passing Yards (0.5 Units)
Ben Roethlisberger Over 17 Completions (0.5 Units)

I'm still kicking myself for tying up all my money before realizing there was an Over 4 Receptions prop for Ben Watson earlier today.

 

[The Farm]

today sucked balls

 

[DiceMan]

Well, I made a unit back on the San Diego game, and the two props canceled each other out. I just needed 2 more yards outta Miller to win that one. It was real close.

Overall Today - -1 Unit
