Oldman's NFL Selection Thread Through The Super Bowl

[ca$hmoney]

Oh crap! I already hit Jags +10. I can’t go against an OMT 5*. Thats just throwing my money away. I guess I’ll buy Pats down to -7, kiss away some heavy juice and hope for a middle.

What are your thoughts on the totals, OMT? I like both unders. Given all 4 teams have top Defenses, I expect tight, conservative 1st halves. Don’t turn the ball over and give up easy scores on short fields. Play a field position game and see who’s offense can make that big play. Hopefully by the time the 2nd half starts the overs will be out of reach.

Best of luck!

Regarding the totals of both games, like you, I have a very slight lean to the Unders, however, not nearly enough to make a play on either. Best of luck whatever you choose to do!

Thx for the pics Ted, i still think Jacks can't not score more than 13 pts this game.People over reacting the way Jacks played last week. Diff scheme of offense that will make them ran out of gas by 3rd qt.

[oldmanTED]

Thanks guys!

Since the question has come up, in my history of posting on the RX, I've had only one other 10* play and that was in the NFC Conference Championship dated January 24, 2016 where I played Carolina (-3.5) over Arizona. The final score was Carolina 49-15.

This play on Philadelphia is extremely rare and follows the same criteria as Carolina although different strengths against different weaknesses.

 

[duckhunter]

Love it! My exact thoughts since the line came out. I think (hope, lol) that NE's run ends here. Like the ML as well. Good luck to you!

LAS VEGAS -- With a day to go before kickoff, four reported million-dollar bets have already been placed on Super Bowl LII -- all on the underdog Philadelphia Eagles.
A bettor on Friday at William Hill placed a $1 million money-line bet on the Eagles at +155 odds. If Philadelphia pulls the upset over the New England Patriots, the unnamed bettor would net a $1,550,000 profit.
Earlier in the week, William Hill reported taking a $1.6 million bet on the Eagles +4.5 and another $1 million money-line bet on Philadelphia. Last week, MGM's sportsbook reported taking a "multimillion" bet on the Eagles.
It's not uncommon for million-dollar bets to show up each year on the Super Bowl, but not this many. Last year, for example, only one $1 million bet was reported on Super Bowl LI between the Patriots and the Atlanta Falcons.
The Patriots were 4.5-point favorites over the Eagles on Saturday at most sportsbooks. They opened as high as 6-point favorites two weeks ago, but the majority of the early action, especially the largest bets, have been on the Eagles.
On Friday night at Caesars Palace sportsbooks, 61.4 percent of the point-spread bets and nearly 70 percent of the money that had been wagered was on the Eagles. The action was even more lopsided at William Hill, where 85 percent of the money on the point spread was on Philadelphia.
The largest reported bets on the Patriots were in the six-figure range. MGM vice president of race and sports Jay Rood told ESPN that the largest bet he had taken on the Patriots was a "mid-six-figure" money-line bet.
The sportsbook at the South Point casino also reported taking a six-figure bet on the Patriots.
A lot could change leading up to kickoff. Las Vegas bookmakers say as much as 80 percent of the bets will be placed Saturday and Sunday. For right now, though, Las Vegas is rooting for the Patriots.

OMT, are you concerned at all with your pick? As you know Vegas seldom loses these big games.

Not concerned at all! As the game approaches, I'm more confident then ever!
