Had St. Joseph's last night at -10 (got a crappy line).  They were up by 32 at half and only won by 9!  They were up 20 with 1:30 left.  Duquesne went on a 25-2 run against the St. Joseph's scrubs in the last couple of minutes to stay within the number.  That might be the worst beat of my life.  And I've had some very, very bad beats.

Tough one, HF. Funny, crazy, frustrating....tough loss. Almost have to just laugh about it.

I thought it was a mistake.  I was keeping up with it on the Yahoo sports app.  It went from a 14-point lead with :21 left to the final score.  I didn't believe it.  I couldn't believe Duquesne not only outscored St. Joe's by that many in the 2nd half, but they outscored St. Joe's 5-0 in the last :21!  They made up 11 points from the 1:30 mark. Ridiculous on many levels.  I had to switch over to ESPN.com to confirm.  I nearly threw up.

You're fixing to be very happy Mckdaddy.

I love the Broncos.

I like seattle -3.5

I'm torn on this one. I can honestly say I'm not a fan of betting on either side of this one.

The Broncos may be my biggest play of the year in NFL, albeit I don't do NFL that often. So it looks good for anyone who wanted the Pats to win.

I'm going Niners +3.5. More offensive weapons, looking better and better with each game played, they're hot you could say. Don't think Seattle's home field will play as much of a factor as the line may lead one to believe. Both teams are hungry but the Niners have gone conference championship loss, Super bowl loss in the past two seasons. May ride them to win it all.

Seattle is good and LUCKY at home.  EVERYTHING will go there way on Sunday.  That home field will make all the difference.  Just look at the last two games there.  It'll be more of the same.  Kaepernick isn't a good enough QB to carry the Niners to a win.

I saw a Sportsbook twitter post today that showed the possible Super Bowl line predictions, NFC teams were the favorites in all 4 possibilities. I don't see how the AFC won't win it.

I would take either AFC team against either NFC.

Really?  I'd take the opposite.  Seattle or San Fran would run the ball down either AFC teams throats.

You may certainly be right.  My bets are generally weighted toward who in my opinion is best QB and best coach.  More so in post season.

Then we will both be getting points in a couple of weeks then. lol

It is tough to go against Manning and Brady.  I agree

Pats +5 / Dime play
Pats Broncs over 54 / dime play
Seachunks -3 bought the hook / 5 units.

Well, I'm sure this will make you feel better.

Denver -5.5
under 56.5
small parlay with both.

Laying off the Seahawks game, I have no clue. The total is only 40 so I may go over, but not sure.

I really wish I could do basketball games. With so much action available, I just feel like I'm missing $$$ not playing them, but with my luck, it's probably the exact opposite.

I do love March Madness though. Where I work doesn't do a Bracket, so I buy in at a couple of old jobs that I still keep up with a few bro's who work there. I'd love to make sure this thread stayed busy during the tourney, it probably be the only respite from the drama and gnashing of teeth that is becoming a constant in almost every other thread and forum.

I love gambling college hoops, grew up watching the game. Road faves are dangerous, no matter how good they look. That's the best advice I can give. Doesn't mean I won't take one though, see WIS -5.

I love going to Oaklawn, but I generally bet Belmont and Aqueduct.  Get better info out of there.

Good one. I always enjoy seeing the Dirty Sanchez's take a L.

Thanks. OU is a cover machine. I decided to ride them a lot from the beginning when I saw a couple analysts predict them to go the Final Four but they were on no one else's radar media wise. Finally getting some respect, and props to those analysts.

Hope none of you bet on the Pro Bowl. Crazy!

Only degenerates would bet the Pro Bowl.  That said, dime play on NFC.

Haha I know!. Couldn't bet on the NFC this year, so I guess you were safe. For those who missed it, most did, crazy controversy over the end. Of course the joke is, no one in Vegas cared because no one bets on the pro bowl. Imagine the outcry if this was a real game!
