Home dogs week #5

Boys are underdogs over here this week English Steeler. +2.5
Watch out for the 1 pt spreads early in the week, they can flip flop.

 

Gutsy. Tom doesn't look terrific at times this year.

 

Week #6 Results:

49ers home dog winner
Bucs home dog winner
Jags, Bills, Cowboys, Eagles all lost

Standings:

Steel_Elvis 4 (1 for the win, 1 bonus pt)
steel machine 2
everyone else nil

 

Week #7

First of all why are the Steelers favorites? I'm surprised.

steel machine has the Titans.
I'll go with Washington winning that heated rivalry. (No tanking Rivera )

 

I'll go with cardinals as a home dog this week.

Bookies over here have Titans as -1.5 favourites

 

The line has moved since Thursday. I'll try to pm steel machine. I had this problem last year with a participant & didn't count his pick so I will let that set the precedent.

 

Looks like Cowboys @ Washington moved to even
Bucs @ Raiders +4 also
What a mess

I'll change my pick to the Bengals because I need some points not a goose egg.

 

I like that, I can also post the link the day I set the new week if I'm unavailable Wednesday.

 

I knew the Steeler line was going to change. I would think a lot of big time bettors in Vegas threw money at the Titans. I know I would have.

I'll go with Texans.

 

Week #7 results:

Texans lose
Bengals lose
Cardinals win
Steel_Elvis +2
English Steeler +2

Standings:
Steel_Elvis 6
steel machine 2
EnglishSteeler 2

Gonna wait to see who others pick. Need that bonus point bad...lol

 

Can someone explain how “the spread” works? I honestly don’t know anything about that lol

 

I tried bbh but soon realized I was in STEELWINDS territory text-wise about half way through.

Thanks that’s actually an easy concept. So if you cover the spread you win? Is it that easy?

 

Come on man!!!!! Simple version: Steelers are a 7 point favorite over Dallas. I bet on Dallas, if they lose by 6 points or less I win the bet. Steelers win by 7 or more I lose the bet.

Very simple explanation. Trust me the betting in Vegas can get very confusing.

 

Lol...the spread gets the better of me more often then not. My beautiful mind searches far & wide but my money waves goodbye.

 

It sounds so nice until your down a few hundred and the 4:00 games have not started

I stopped betting the games because I just couldn't take the money and run. If I was up a hundred I'd put it all on a 4:00 game and be lucky if I was even by nightfall.

 

I'm on the Bengal train for week 8. Get em Joe.

 

You’ll be wearing stripes and hating the black and gold soon enough

 

Holy cow, my daughter-in-law said the same thing. I try to explain to her I was a Burrow fan while he was at LSU just for her but now he is the enemy.

 

I'm late to this game, but I'll take Bengals
