There’s reason why it’s called gambling and not winning. I think I’ve used that line before but it rings true. Every week the plan is to give bettors some insight on games that can be used in a parlay. My picks are more for informational purposes and I don’t actually play a parlay card with them. As it turns out that’s probably a good thing since once again all my Week 6 picks didn’t pan out. I’m winning over 55 percent of the time, however every pick has to be a winner to get the payout. And un... 

After being left for dead following Mac Jones’ injury in their loss to the Baltimore Ravens in Week 3, the New England Patriots have roared back to life. They showed a lot of life in their overtime road loss to the Green Bay Packers the following week, and they have throttled their last two opponents. That has New England sitting at 3-3, and the Pats are now in great position to contend in the AFC given their upcoming schedule starting this week against the Chicago Bears on Monday Night Football... 

Week 6 was a good one on my NFL top total plays sweeping the games to move into positive territory for the first time this season. It’s taken six weeks but I’m finally in the black thanks to 7-2 run over the past three weeks. Eight of the 14 games around the NFL in Week 6 cashed the UNDER moving the season percentage to 59, and there has yet to be a week where more games exceeded the point total. ... 

Tua Tagovailoa is ready to return to action, and that will give the Miami Dolphins a big boost on Sunday Night Football. The Dolphins have lost three straight games since Tagovailoa was injured, and that has left them in the middle-of-the-pack in the AFC playoff picture. Tagovailoa is expected to lift the Dolphins past the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 7, but Miami can’t afford to look past Pittsburgh after the Steelers upset the Tampa Bay Buccaneers last week. The Miami Dolphins will look to put an end to a three-game losing streak when they host the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday Night Football. This game will be played on Sunday, October 23, 2022, at 8:20 p.m. ET on NBC from Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida. ... 

Last week I mentioned I was officially on a heater with my NFL teaser picks after hitting a three-teamer for the second straight week. Well, we can upgrade that to a major heater after hitting all three in Week 6. And as it turned out teasing the lines was exactly what got me the winning ticket. Three consecutive winning weeks puts us in a good spot moving forward, but as we know the house doesn’t like to lose. And things have a way of evening out over the long haul. ... 

The Buffalo Bills and Philadelphia Eagles are currently the odds-on favorites to punch tickets to Super Bowl LVII per the current conference futures odds at the online sportsbook. While the former was expected to make major noise this season, the book was still out on the latter.With little to no line value to be had backing either of those teams heading into Week 7 of the NFL ... 

Are you ready for another week of ugly dog picks in the NFL? It was a light week last week with just two plays, as we went 1-1 to bring the season mark to 15-9-1 ATS through the first six weeks of the season. Some of the best bets in the NFL each week are oftentimes wagers on teams that are considered the worst in the league. If you want to win money betting NFL games then you need to be willing to take teams no one else wants to bet. We refer to these teams as ugly dogs and you really have to hold your nose sometimes when you bet on them, but history has shown that going against the public works. We had just two plays last week, but this week we have a bunch of action with five games. Let’s look at the NFL Week 7 Ugly Dog picks. ... 

It’s now or never for both the New Orleans Saints and the Arizona Cardinals. Both these teams are sitting at 2-4 after entering the year with playoff aspirations. New Orleans has been dealing with a ton of injuries (especially to its receivers), but Arizona has been without its No. 1 receiver for the first six weeks of the season. DeAndre Hopkins should give Arizona a spark on Thursday Night Football in his first game back from a PED suspension.The Arizona Cardinals are hoping that the return of... 

The Denver Broncos have been the most disappointing team in the NFL through the first five weeks of the season. Denver was expected to be a potential Super Bowl contender after the acquisition of Russell Wilson, but the Broncos are currently 2-3 and ranked 31st in scoring offense with 15.0 PPG. However, they do have one of the best defenses in the NFL, and that gives them a chance of knocking off the Los Angeles Chargers on Monday Night Football this week.Two AFC West rivals with high aspiration... 

First place in the NFC East is up for grabs on Sunday night when the Philadelphia Eagles face the Dallas Cowboys. Philadelphia is the last unbeaten team left in the NFL, while Dallas has won four in a row after losing its season opener against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Cowboys are holding out some hope that Dak Prescott will be able to start for the first time in over a month, but Cooper Rush is likely to be the starting quarterback for the fifth consecutive game.The Philadelphia Eagles will... 

Back to back winning weeks on my NFL top total plays has me closer to the breakeven point. While I’m not there yet hitting four of six over the last two weeks has me feeling confident I can put another winning week together, as long as the teams cooperate. The UNDER is trending this season with nearly 60 percent of the games falling below the closing total. There has yet to be a week were more games cashed the OVER.... 

You can officially say I’m on a heater with my teaser picks. For the second straight week we cashed a three-team winner, though we didn’t need to tease the lines and total for the Week 5 picks. Beating the house every so often is a good feeling and keeps the betting public coming back for more. And since sportsbooks aren’t in business to pay out every week, we know things will change. The key obviously is to win more than you lose and going back-to-back puts us in a good spot moving forward.... 

There’s always something that comes up and bites you in the rear end just when you think you have a winner. A number of bets have paid off since the start of the season, but unfortunately when playing a parlay, you need them all to work in your favor. It isn’t as easy as it sounds and we’ve yet to hit a four-teamer this season. I think a different strategy is needed and this week we’ll look at a few different options on our parlay card to hopefully come out ahead.... 

Last week, I recommended favorite, underdog, and longshot selections to cash in on the Super Bowl LVII odds at the online sportsbook. They included the Philadelphia Eagles, Minnesota Vikings, and Pittsburgh Steelers. The first two saw their odds get shorter this past week after the Eagles remained undefeated against the Cardinals and the Vikings held off a furious comeback from... 

Are you ready for another week of ugly dog picks in the NFL? We are coming off our first losing week of the season, as we went 1-3-1 last week, but we are still 14-8 -1 ATS through the first five weeks of the season. Some of the best bets in the NFL each week are oftentimes wagers on teams that are considered the worst in the league. If you want to win money betting NFL games then you need to be willing to take teams no one else wants to bet. We refer to these teams as ugly dogs and you really have to hold your nose sometimes when you bet on them, but history has shown that going against the public works. We have had a lot of plays through the first five weeks of the season but that is not the case in Week 6. There are four teams on byes and it turns out we have just two plays for this week. Let’s look at the NFL Week 6 Ugly Dog picks. ... 

We saw an absolute stinker on Thursday Night Football last week as the Denver Broncos and Indianapolis Colts failed to score a touchdown in a game that had four interceptions, so everyone is hoping for a better show this week. The Washington Commanders and Chicago Bears are hoping to oblige, but these are two of the worst offenses in the NFL. Currently, the Bears are a short favorite by the NFL betting odds, yet this line could still move a point or two either way. The Chicago Bears have a chance to get back to .500 on Thursday Night Football when they host the Washington Commanders. This game will be played at Soldier Field in Chicago, Illinois on Thursday, October 13, 2022, at 8:15 p.m. ET on Prime Video. ... 

I finally had a winning week on my NFL top total plays improving my overall record for the season, though I’m still in the red. The goal is to win more than you lose and I’m slowly making my way up the ladder with another solid week hopefully getting me over the hump. While a majority of bettors favored the UNDER in last week’s Denver-Las Vegas matchup I bet the OVER and it paid off. Russell Wilson had his best day in a Broncos uniform accounting for three touchdowns, though his club lost 32-23. ... 

Last week was the reason why we bet teasers on NFL games. Winning is a good feeling and collecting some shekels in the process is why we keep coming back. It doesn’t happen every week so enjoy it when it does. My three-team Week 4 teaser paid off handsomely with the strategy behind placing the bets working out to perfection. The goal is obviously to always win more than you lose and not to get overconfident or cocky win hitting a winner. So, with last week behind me it’s off to Week 5 to see if ... 

Betting on the NFL doesn’t seem like a big risk, right? Pick a winner and collect the money. Well, the sportsbooks are in business for a reason. And if it’s hard enough to pick one winner the difficulty level skyrockets when more than one game is in play. The increased payout for multiple winners is enticing, which is why parlay cards exist. But the odds of losing one game on a multi-team ticket also increase.... 

Both meetings between the Kansas City Chiefs and Las Vegas Raiders in 2021 resulted in embarrassing losses for the Raiders. They were throttled 41-14 at home by the Chiefs in mid-November, and they were crushed 48-9 by the Chiefs in Arrowhead Stadium last December. Derek Carr is just 3-13 against the Chiefs in his career, so he will be fighting history when he leads his team into Kansas City on Monday Night Football.The Kansas City Chiefs will look to take a commanding lead in the AFC West with ... 

The two best teams in the AFC North will meet on Sunday Night Football when the Baltimore Ravens take on the Cincinnati Bengals. Both of these teams are 2-2, and the winner will likely sit all alone at the top of the division after this week. Lamar Jackson and Joe Burrow are two of the best young quarterbacks in the league, and they are both looking to make sure their teams sit atop this division for the foreseeable future. The Baltimore Ravens will host AFC North rival Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday Night Football. This game will take place on Sunday, October 9, 2022, at M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore, Maryland at 8:20 p.m. ET on NBC. ... 

The first month of the 2022-23 NFL betting season is in the books at the online sportsbook. Teams that’ve noticeably exceeded expectations include the Philadelphia Eagles, Minnesota Vikings, Kansas City Chiefs, Miami Dolphins, and Jacksonville Jaguars. On the other end of the spectrum, the Indianapolis Colts, Los Angeles Chargers, Los Angeles Rams, Denver Broncos, New Orleans Saints, Las Vegas Raiders, and New England Patriots have been huge disappointments. It’s still early folks! No better time to add to the Super Bowl LVII futures odds portfolio than right now! The following are favorite, underdog, and longshot investments that should be made entering Week 5 action. ... 

The Indianapolis Colts visit the Denver Broncos on Thursday night in a game that can be seen on Prime Video. The Colts have been a major disappointment so far this season, as they come into this game at 1-2-1, while the Broncos have also been disappointing with a record of 2-2. Each team was counting on a new quarterback to lead them to big things this season, but so far Matt Ryan and Russell Wilson have played poorly. Oddsmakers are really not sure what to make of Thursday’s game, as the line on the game has Denver favored by three points and that is basically just for their home field advantage. We got a good win with the total on last week’s Thursday night game and so far this season we have been on a pretty good run on Thursday’s. Let’s look at this week’s Thursday Night picks. On Thursday, October 6, 2022, the Indianapolis Colts will visit the Denver Broncos at Empower Field at Mile High in Denver, Colorado. Kickoff is set for 8:15 p.m. ET on Prime Video. ... 

Are you ready for another week of ugly dog picks in the NFL? We are off to a sizzling start this season, winning every single week with a combined mark of 13-5 ATS through the first four weeks of the season. Some of the best bets in the NFL each week are oftentimes wagers on teams that are considered the worst in the league. If you want to win money betting NFL games then you need to be willing to take teams no one else wants to bet. We refer to these teams as ugly dogs and you really have to hold your nose sometimes when you bet on them, but history has shown that going against the public works. We had five plays last week and we have another five games to look at for this week. Let’s look at the NFL Week 5 Ugly Dog picks. ... 

At least I’m consistent on my NFL top total plays. For the second straight week I hit one of my three picks backing the UNDER in the San Francisco-Denver matchup. The teams were three touchdowns and three 2-point conversions shy of the closing total. Handicapping those teams made it an easy pick and it paid off. Unfortunately it doesn’t always work out that way as I saw in my other picks....
