Sunday's Action
20 Dime winner going out on the Indianapolis Colts as the road undardog agailinst the Tennessee Titans. As I release this winner, the Colts are +9 point underdogs both here in Vegas and offshore.
20 Dime winner on the Baltimore Ravens as the home favorite against the Arizona Cardinals. At the time I release this winner to you, the Ravens are a 12-point choice over Arizona both here in Vegas and offshore.
20 Dime winner also on the Houston Texans minus the points at home versus the Jacksonville Jaguars. At the time I release this winner, the Texans are a solid -9 1/2-point choice both here in Vegas and offshore.
My 100 Dime winner is on the road underdag Dallas Cowboys to cover against the Philadelphia Eagles. Checking the spolrts books in Las Vegas at 4 a.m. and the Cowboys are getting three points. I have a 40 Dime play on the Buffalo Bills as a home favocite against the Washington Redskins. The Bills are laying 4 ½ points.
The Oilers are definitely an improved team and they’re also an exciting team with a promising future. However, they’re stock is a little too high right now and so are they. Furthermore, you can’t keep defying the laws of the universe by winning games that they had no right doing so. Edmonton has won three straight but were completely dominated in all three games by Vancouver, Washington and Colorado. They picked up six out of six points when they should have picked up none. Nikolai Khabibulin is in a zone right now but it cannot last because out of let’s say 60 goaltenders, his ranking would be in the 55th to 60th range. So, after surviving a minor miracle with three onslaughts by the opposition and picking up three undeserving wins, the St. Louis Blues come in with a .500 record but deserving much better. Rarely have the Blues been outplayed this season. They’ve had some bad fortune but they’ve also won three of its last four with wins over both Philadelphia and Vancouver. The Blues conclude a four-game trip here and so chances are you’re going to get another great effort out of them. Also, the Oilers embark on a six-game trip after this one and we often catch teams flat on the final home game before a long trip. This one sets up beautifully for the Blue Notes and gives us a great opportunity to take advantage of a misconception by the marketplace. Play: St. Louis +104 (Risking 3 units).
COLORADO +111 over Los Angeles
Four teams went to Europe to start the season. The Ducks, Sabres, Rangers and Kings. The Ducks, Sabres and Rangers have all suffered the effects of that trip and it’s no coincidence. The Kings have yet to pay the price with their 6-2-1-1 record but they’re not immune. Los Angeles will pay its third game in four days, all on the road, and the tail end of back-to-backs after an OT loss in Phoenix last night. The Avalanche have yet to win on home ice but we’re absolutely dominating in their last home game against Edmonton in which they deserved a better fate. This is about as good a situational bet as you’ll see, as the Av’s couldn’t have handpicked a better time to face the Kings. Play: Colorado +111 (Risking 3 units).
· Baltimore -13 Arizona
· San Fran -9 Cleveland
· Carolina -3 1/2 Minnesota
· St.Louis +13 1/2 New Orleans
· Seattle +3 Cincy
· Kansas City +3 1/2 San Diego
· Pittsburgh-New England OVER 52
· Carolina--Minnesota OVER 47 1/2
He's down so far in football this year and has been very good the past three years, so it might be a decent time to jump in as he should bring up his numbers by the end of the year.
Took the day off in college until we saw the total in the Kansas/Texas game, so hopefully everyone received our email in time and jumped on that 4**** unit under winner. That was what we needed to turn things around and make a serious late run this NCAA Football season. NFL has been pretty good the past two weeks, so looking to stay in the positive as we build back our bankroll. We might add 1-2 games tomorrow morning, but wanted to get these out early. We might add a unit to the Cowboys play later in the day Sunday:
2** Washington Redskins +6 (-130)
The Bills come off a bye and face a Redskins team playing their second consecutive road game. Note this game is being played in Toronto, so there technically isn't any home field advantage. Fitzpatrick is completing 74 percent of his passes the last two games, but the Redskins lead the NFL in sacks per pass play. They should be able to put some pressure on Fitzpatrick and slow down their offense that was really playing well before the bye.
Buffalo 24
Washington 23
1* Pittsburgh Steelers +3 (-110)
This very well could be the game of the week. Tom Brady destroyed the Steelers defense last year, and this potentially could be a tough matchup for their defense. Brady has won 6/7 against the Steelers and 4/5 at Heinz Field. The Patriots haven't looked as dominant the past few games against the Jets and Cowboys, and it's very rare you get the Steelers as a home underdog. The Patriots defense has been solid in the past three games, only allowing 18.7 points per game. I expect Roethlisberger to bomb away deep to Wallace and Brown and for the Steelers to pull the upset. Staying small because while we have this game capped as a small Steelers win, Brady is so dangerous.
Pittsburgh 27
New England 24
2** Seattle Seahawks +2 (-120)
The Bengals are 4-2 and coming off a bye, but Seattle is a very tough place to play for any quarterback. Now they bring a rookie in Andy Dalton to go up against a great home team. The Seahawks defense is good, especially at the safety position with Chancellor and Thomas. They will be keys to making Dalton turn it over. Seattle's offense has really struggled lately, scoring three points last week against the Browns with Tarvaris Jackson at quarterback. The Seahawks are one of the better home underdog bets in the NFL, so we'll ride them in the upset in a sloppy low-scoring game.
Seattle 19
Cincinnati 14
3*** Dallas Cowboys +3 (-110)
This is a chance for one of these teams to show they are back to being a contender in the East. The Eagles are coming off a bye, and the Cowboys are coming off an easy win at home against the Rams. The Eagles have struggled to stop the run and are among the worst in the NFL at rushing yards per attempt, and I look for the Cowboys to exploit that. Murray won't be a secret after rushing for 253-yards last week, but that was the kind've performance the Cowboys needed to rally around. The Eagles aren't a great home team (4-6 in their last 10 games), but they've usually played well in primetime games. Cowboys in an upset, as I still don't think the "Dream Team" Eagles have figured it out just yet and I think the Cowboys can be a legitimate force in the NFC.
