Part of my problem is that I am stubborn when it comes to betting sports. I can be hell bent on betting on or against a team. For example last year I bet against the Packers all playoffs, bad idea. Another is the ’07 Red Sox, once they made the playoffs I bet them nearly every playoff and World Series game. One last example was when the Yankees traded for Randy Johnson and I rode him every start when he was -400 and had the “All Juice” lineup to support him. Today I have a gut feeling I’ll start a winning streak like the ‘o7 Sox team. Here is my lock as your enjoy your coffee and pastry on another balmy NFL Sunday in Boston.
Atlanta @ New York – 2 1/2 – I’ve been on the Giants on the last few weeks, even their atrocious lose to the Redskins at home giving -10. I had them every which in that loser. I like their team way too much, probably a little bias too because they Victor Cruz from Umass has been tearing up secondaries. Things that make sense to me. Good playoff QB, as much as you hate Eli he wins. Three WOs and a TE that can’t be stopped, a perfect running back tandem with a fast outside runner and a big between the tackles guy. On defense they can rush the passer, with Osi, Justin Tuck and Jason Pierre Paul. Also, in the Falcons 10 out of the last 11 games for the Falcons have been in dome, the only game outdoors was against the Panthers. I love the GMen so much today it’s scary betting the Giants -2 1/2 I also have them winning the NFC at +900
TWolves @ Wizards ML +120 – I have’t bet too many NBA games this year but I’m looking to announce me NBA presence with a winner today. The Bullets are 0-7 at home today hosting the TWolves who had a travel day yesterday. I think this condenses schedule is going to hurt traveling teams with short or no rest. They played a home and home agains’t the C’s and lost both, but I like their team with John Wall, Blatche and Nick Young, I think they win today. Bet the Wiz +120
Good luck,
-SD
