NFL/NCAA Betting Thread - 2017/2018

Not doing too well this year betting wise. Haven't done my over/under yardage since the first few weeks went bust. Handicap wise only hit two I think this season. Raiders +7.5 let me down in a five fold this weekend which included Giants and Bucs. Need to look a bit more at the games rather than just going into shop and placing away :P

Titans @ Chiefs (-7.5) - 9:35pm (ESPN/ABC)
Falcons @ Rams (-4.5) - 01:15am (NBC)

Sunday 7th January:

Bills @ Jaguars (-7.5) - 6pm (CBS)
Panthers @ Saints (-5.5) - 9:40pm (FOX)

Where is the money going this weekend?

Personally I'll be on the Falcons, moneyline and will take the points as well.

I think the Panthers will play the Saints tough but not sure they can score enough to stay within 6 of Drew Brees although the Bucs showed last weekend anything is possible in this league.

Bills have momentum and if Shady is fit I think they could cause some problems for Jacksonville who are coming into the playoffs in a little bit of a funk.

At the moment id be looking at the chiefs as a solid pick minus the handicap how the titans managed to get into the playoffs baffles me they really aren't a good team. Kc by 13+

Atlanta @ L.A. is probably the game of the weekend in my opinion Atlanta are a bit too hit and miss for me to be confident backing them not saying they can't win but they will have their hands full keeping a lid on gurley. From a betting point of view I'll be looking for a gurley anytime td rams win.

Buffalo @ Jacksonville it all comes down to whether shady plays which is looking unlikely but I wouldn't be comfortable backing a bortles led team to win by more than a touchdown no matter how good their defence is. The under over line is 39.5 which is very low but if shady doesn't play that's where my money would be going.

Carolina @ new orleans the myth tells you it's very difficult to beat a team 3 times in one season but the stats don't back that up I think 13 out of 20 times the team who won the first 2 has won the 3rd aswell. New Orleans in my book look the closest team to the patriots their defence has come from nowhere and kamara is lethal brees is doing what he always does without getting the credit this year I don't think cam and the Panthers are playing well enough to score enough points in the dome to stay with the saints. I like them-6.5 and would also be looking at anytime td and win bets on kamara and Thomas for the saints

Noticed quite a difference between paddy, Bet365 and Skybet for the divisonal round betting.

I like LeGarrette Blount under 10.5 rushing attempts on Skybet,the line is 7.5 on paddy, since Ajayi came blount has rushed over 10.5 times twice out of the 8 games. Also Ajayi was rested for there last game vs the cowboys. Eagles will run a lot with foles you would think but seems a good bet to me.

In the pats game like Henry over 17.5 rushes on paddy the line is 19.5 on skybet.

Bama Outright @ 4/1
Bama win Conference @ 4/9
Louisville win Conference @ 5/1
OSU to make Playoffs @ 4/6
Wisconsin win Big10 West @ 4/6
Miami Florida win ACC Coastal @ 5/4
USC win Pac12 @ 11/10
WSU over 7.5 wins @ 20/27
Texas over 7.5 wins @ 5/6

Pats win AFC @ 11/4

Happy enough with that. Bama & Pats were the most important to win. Louisville I never really expected them to win it, it just felt their price was too high.

so what do we like for the final. not really looking for value just a good solid bet

Pats -3.5 and over 39.5 11/10 caught my eye as did Eagles +7.5 and over 39.5

Just Foles has me cautious on last one.

For the second one if you think they will stay within 7 if you don't think they will win you could do pats win by 1-10 would be a better price. I'm looking at wincasts atm I like white and Hogan 11/4 and 4/1 and I like to pick an obscure one aswell maybe someone like develin at 25s

Any suggestions on what to add?

Found a "what odds paddy" that actually seems a bit of value. Ertz anytime TD, Amendola anytime TD and over 48.5 mat points", it's 40/1 and feels like that's more than fair price
