    The thesis is that Navy usually has a good run defense, but their run defense is actually real bad this year.
    Service academy games always seem to go under, good luck, would rather root for the over!

    Damn. Started off so good but not meant to be I guess.

    Army scored a TD in 2 minutes and then nothing but a FG rest of the half.

    Complete joke. Army had been averaging 2 yards a run all game and doing ok in (very underused) passing game. And 4th and 4 where they lose the game if they don’t get 1st down they do a QB run up the middle for 2 yards.

    K.

    Brother Kalam, you need to be careful with your negative outlook. I see you posted upset at halftime. At that point you were on pace to win your bet! This is the second time I’ve seen you angry at how the result is going while being on pace to win

    Brother the Gambling Gods frown upon this

    Brother when there was a high scoring first quarter almost assuring my demise, I thanked the Gambling Gods for testing my strength and ability to remain positive

    Brother it was mildly frustrating to see 2 bball dogs I picked today in good shape at half only to get blown out. It evens out, I had good luck in football game and won another basketball game. Now I’m sitting even minus a few bucks in juice heading into the night

    I’m 2-0 betting Marquette as a dog this year hoping to make it 3-0 and secure a winning day. Should be a tough game no clue if I will win, I hope I do though

    Prelims are starting for UFC will be firing on this card for sure, hoping I can stay awake for main card but UFC goes so late!

    I think Porier will win and plan to bet on him. I like to bet UFC last minute.

    I bet the dog Wright here 30 seconds into fight no real action yet

    Pedro Munhoz -115

    I see he was a much bigger favorite earlier in the week, not sure if that’s sharp action but must surely be huge public money on Don Cruz?

    I actually bet Cruz in his last fight, a win but I thought he was pretty lucky to win and was not overly impressed. Still has good heart but has regressed a lot skill wise after 3.5 years off, fair enough, just saying he isn’t the young dominator anymore. Munhoz lost a lot lately but to top guys, still a dog.

    Anyways it’s a close fight who knows it’s UFC

    Cavs 21-6-1 ATS now. It’s been a fun little ride with the books slow to adjust.

    Yeah I've noticed that.

    They've been a covering machine.

    Really wish I rode some of these trends I saw earlier.

    The Warriors finally are starting to crack -- just 3-3 in their past 6.

    I am looking to sheep you at some point because I think things tend to revert to the mean, which means you have a winning streak coming at some point. But taking a crappy team coming off a win against a team coming off an embarrassing loss. That is a bridge too far for me.

    Never in doubt. Just took a little Of that Nixkypipes positive thinking.

    Bears +11.5 (I already have GB -2.5 as part of a teaser where other legs hit so looking for middle)

    Timberpuppies +3. Looking for bounce back game against this reeling blazers franchise.

    Not worth its own thread, but it's funny seeing Las Vegas people react regarding the Raiders, who got blown out hard today.

    The team itself, now 6-7, isn't awful, but they're once again mediocre and very likely missing the playoffs again. Last year they appeared to be on the way to the postseason, and then collapsed.

    They've also had their off-the-field issues recently, as well.

    Soon enough the city will discover that the Raiders are still the Raiders, and will continue to be a disappointment.

    That Pelicans bet was very close for 3 quarters.

    Then they scored 15 in the 4th. That ain't gonna cut it. No way to win that one. Even the 1H bet would have barely lost -- both spread and moneyline.

    The Timberwolves pick was very close for 3 quarters. Then it won.

    All else being equal, take bad teams coming off a loss, not a win.

    Bears had 2 chances at end of game to backdoor cover and couldn't do it. Pathetic. When Packers were only up 11 Bears actually had a chance to get back in the game on a muffed punt. But the refs called it back on a very fishy "running out of bounds" penalty on a guy that wasn't in the play at all that didn't look like a penalty at all in replay. It would be very interesting to see if the ref called the penalty before or after he saw the muffed punt.

    Raptors +5

    5 Nets in covid protocols. Durant questionable (ankle)

    Missed the +7 earlier today but I'll still take +5.
