As mentioned in Guess the Lines teams that are 6+ point favourites are 2-15 against the spread so far and have 9 losses straight up!

I had a decent multi going this week, Philly/Vikings/Colts/Seattle/Bucs of course the Bucs as heavy home favourites cost me a 20-1 return 🤦

I did get 8-1 on Sal's favourite tip though, Chargers-Steelers double (ie Steelers to trail at halftime and win the game). Already got up twice in 3 weeks this year.

I've been absolutely miles off and in the last 5 or 6 years, the NFL has been really hard to read.  So many upsets and we used to see more spreads of 10+ on a regular basis.  The lines are much tighter these days 

KC -8.5 @ the Chargers is uninticing but the Chiefs might slip into gear.  Same story for the 49ers at home (-10.5)

Both teams will probably win but I don't like either line.  The Chargers are the value as are the Texans

But what would I know?  haha

    It's a very tough week this week I think, but then again I probably say that every week!

    My stone cold lock straight up would be the Chiefs, I can't see them losing to a Chargers team minus Justin Herbert. The line is quite high but the Chargers hit the wall in the 2nd half against the Steelers and if the Chiefs can stop Dobbins making runs it should be a pretty easy win against their main rival for the division.

    If I'm picking against the spread I'd probably go the Bills at +2.5, the Ravens have been overrun the last 2 weeks and were lucky the Cowboys ran out of time. They have to figure it out with Lamar and Henry as a huge 1-2 punch but for some reason they can get out to a 2+ score lead but then teams reel them in. Is it the defense? Tucker hasn't been his usual reliable self which might be adding to it. On the other hand the Bills are on fire the last 2 weeks destroying both Miami and the Jags. I'm also tempted by Titans at -1.5 going against either Skylar Thompson or Tim Boyle, Will Levis has made some horrible turnovers but also has a cannon for an arm and made some big throws against the Jets last week. The Titans defense is solid though and I think they will feast on whoever is at QB for the Dolphins. Thompson was sacked 5 times before being injured so the Miami O-line is doing their backup QBs no favours.

    Texans I was high on early but I don't trust them yet after the last 2 weeks. Let's see how they go over the next month.

    Good summary, Gonzo

    That gives us 2 x Stone Cold Locks

    Bills +2.5 & Houston -4.5

    1 or 2 others here might come up with a 1 or 2 more

    Might end up with 4 or 5 at the line

    Anyone else use Gamepass on DAZN? I generally watch it through apple tv or on Sony android tv but looking at getting a streaming device to setup in the study on my old "dumb" tv. Wondering if anyone has used it with Chromecast and how that goes? It's a bit of a dodgy app so in a bit worried how it would go watching live games over wifi. Other options are to get another AppleTV or just get a new cheapo tv but again not sure how stable that would be.

    I haven't Gonzo but you could consider an Amazon Fire Stick. Those apps are usually well optimised on Fire Stick, streaming Kayo has been a dream.

    Ha!

    In horse racing, likely winners are called 'Morals' but no one in the industry is allowed to use the M word (so it's often used after the event which suits no one!)

    @layzie

    So have you got a 'Moral' for us this week?  

    New England +10.5?  haha

    - CMC on IR

    - Deebo likely out

    - Kittle and Purdy day to day

    On top of that Bosa battling a rib injury, Hargrave out for the season, Chavarius Ward banged up.

    Short answer: No

    And New England went into Cinci and won!

    +10.5 Pats looks a Lead Pipe Lock/Stone Cold Lock/ Moral/Certainty!!

    So far (we don't need more than 5 picks to get it up to 25-1*)

    Bills +2.5

    Texans -4.5

    Pats +10.5

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit.
      Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.
