Kudos to you guys who bet the NFL each week. I don't know how you do it.
Since I go through a number of college games, I grab stats & trends on the NFL games too, but I really don't have much interest in betting those games. Between the poor tackling, terrible officiating, contradictory rules and endless commercials, it is unwatchable. There was a 7 minute delay yesterday while they reviewed the Steelers TD catch. There is no rhythm to the game at all.
Of course the NFL didn't have the game of the day (Buff/Jax) on actual TV yesterday either.

All true.
If I couldn't gamble on the NFL I would never watch it. It's pretty horrible for the most part. Officiating is downright disgraceful. Years ago my Sunday during NFL year was all about the games. Now, I don't care if I see them or not. You can be on the right side in every statistical category, every facet of the game, handicap it perfectly and have the game completely taken away from by a guy with a yellow flag....I realize it was always like that to an extent but nothing like it is now.
Was anyone else pulling their hair out last night as Philly played from behind by running on virtually all 1st and 2nd downs? Throw the damned ball to set up the run. AND to get the first down drives you were not getting. Jeez.

yest 2-4 -213
YTD 34-26-1 +719
Arizona -10 +104 (vs Balty)
I know that Baltimore has played the better competition and has been in every game. Their biggest loss was by 6 points at Denver. But I think that Arizona has one of the NFL's best teams, Offense, Defense, and Special Teams. I think that Bruce Arians is in the very top tier of NFL coaches. This is Arizona's chance to prove that they belong with the NFL's Big Guys for all the world to see. If they don't win big tonight they're coming off my short list of SB contenders.
And in case you were wondering.
Since 2001 Spotlight game Home Favs of -8 or higher are 2-2 ATS. Nothing to see there.
Good luck

There were 2 more Sides I almost played yesterday, JAX, and DAL due to the Stat I posted on them above. The things that got me off DAL late was NYG blew the SU Win in their opener at DAL this year making this quadruple revenge. Plus it was Cassel's first game. Now I have to admit I missed the 3Q here. But from what I saw by HT DAL had a great game plan and was dominant up front, and I would think that would somewhat negate Cassel's rustiness.... IF they stuck to that formula. So I flip back on later and it's 13-20. (LOL 13-20. Yes I'm breaking balls
). So apparently DAL started throwing the ball around after HT. Why? But here's the thing that really gets me. You have this great drive to knot the game at 20-20 midway through the 4Q. And then you get beat on a KO return by an ex teammate. I'm sorry but that is inexcusable. We live in an age of specialty where organizations live and die by having an expert in every phase of the operation. In order to succeed in today's NFL you must have a kicker who can blast the ball through the back of the endzone. Barring a 20+MPH wind in your face. DAL didn't. And that's another reason why they lost yesterday. Sad.Ironically, Prior to that Kick, Bailey had one of the highest TB to KO ratio's in the league. Agree it's unforgivable, but I suspect he just didn't hit it well.There were 2 more Sides I almost played yesterday, JAX, and DAL due to the Stat I posted on them above.

4-1 yesterday. ZONA -9.5
Not my style I admit but I'm laying it tonight. 9.5? Sometimes the linesmaker is just off. And you have to think he has a reason. This line is shockingly high. So I'll go with the Bookie here. It was 4 years ago but BAL had the biggest comeback in their history vs ZONA in the prior meeting. Went into the locker room down 24-6. And dominated the 2H 24-3 winning the game late 30-27. IMO whoever wins covers tonight. The Bookie says ZONA. So I hold my nose and play.
