Now for something completely different…
Remember that the secret to maximizing profits is to bet when you have the advantage…so why not swing the line six points in your favor and do a two-team parlay? Home team in caps.
BEST BETS
TITANS – 1/2 over the Raiders. Betting against the Raiders is like having your own ATM.
Ravens + 8.5 over JETS. That may be the best price you get all season with Baltimore.
OTHERS
BEARS – 1/2 over the Lions. They are a sexy pre-season pick, but until the Lions start winning, I won’t bet on them.
GIANTS – 1/2 over Panthers. Winning game 1 is never revenge for a playoff crippling loss, but it’s a good start.
IFFY, BUT MAYBE
Falcons-STEELERS UNDER 44. The Steelers play well in home openers and are defensive specialists. They also have no offense without Roethlisberger. Willie Parker, who looked on his way to the Hall of Fame after 2005has tailed off and is injury prone.
PATRIOTS + 1.5 over Bengals. Yeah, right, Marvin Lewis is going to just walk into Gillette Stadium on opening day and whoop Bill Belichick and Tom Brady. In your dreams, Cincinnati. Enjoy 7-9 and third place. Their stripes are prison stripes, yo!
[…] Pending the outcome of tonight’s Jets-Ravens game, I am 5-0, 2-0 in parlays! […]
