    The analytics guys say momentum isnt a thing, but Ima test it anyway. BYU had no business getting a TD at end of 1st half and I think that punch to the gut affects Baylor.

    How that BYU coach plays for a FG after the guy misses at end of regulation is beyond me. They deserve to lose now. Reverse jinx activated

    Did one of my teaser-like parlays. Don’t take the full 6, but better odds and if you push one, drops down into straight bet. Obviously you run the risk of your team winning by 1.

    Reason I like these if I’m going to tease a game and just info for thread as it’s good to know how often games land on a number.

    https://www.businessinsider.com/nfl-...art-2013-7?amp

    This was of 2013, it’s possible coaches going for 2 and shit has slightly skewed it, but it’s largely accurate.

    Like the probability for a game ending at 1 or 2 is roughly 3% for each. So since you have two lines of 6.5 and I like both favorites, I still need to pick the winner on each for traditional tease, and there is no probability argument that with 2 independent events each with a 3% chance of occurring, that the probability of one occurring is greater than the difference between +110 and -112(teaser line offered)- it doesn’t occur anywhere close to 22 per $100. And in this case, 2 pushes if my team wins by 2. I don’t feel like doing the math, but iirc, the chance of one or both occurring is like one might happen less than 10% and both happen some minuscule number. . Certainly not 22/100$

    Feel free to correct any faulty math assumptions. I’m getting old and forget exact equation for figuring probability of one event occurring with two independent variables.

    Guaranteed one of my teams win by one today after this post

    Decided to split NYG bet half ML half +5.5 -106.

    I'm not a great NFL guy so keep that in mind.

    The Twins are just so bad.

    They lured me into this +130 but they just look horrible at the plate.

    I had a pretty big Raven/Bungle teaser where I teased Bengals down to -.5. 5 turnovers, missed extra point at end of regulation, and then missed 29 yard FG at end of OT.

    It is what it is.

    I have a bet on almost every game, but never got online to post them. My bad.

    Took some brutal beats, with the most spectacular being needing the Bengals to win and Carolina PK.

    I also have Houston and Atlanta O4.5 season win totals, and they both found a way to snatch defeat (tie in Houstons case) from the jaws of victory.
