I had Lakers +4 and the over 204 for a good 3 unit come up

I never hit on nba so I'm pretty juiced gotta get my local to start hockey so I can tail some of these bets
 
I like the Pelicans and Nuggets tomorrow.
the pelicans got killed at home by mavericks and wizards, lost 7 of their last 8, only winning against boston by 3. d12 is gonna abuse jason smith. also, parsons is back. rockets won last meeting against pelicans 107-98 with holiday and anderson. i think rockets cover -5

It looks like things are coming together for them as far as chemistry, I like their chances and won't even be surprised if they win the game.

The line movement in the NE/DEN game intrigues me. I jumped all over +6 thinking it was a mistake and thought for certain that with the early movement it would get to 3.5 or 3. If it hovers around this 5.5/6 then I wonder if the books are trying to pull one on us here. Potential for a big-time sucker bet.
 
Lakers cover saved me too ; chased after the Bruins **** the bed

Penguins and Ducks ML parlay

Patriots getting 6 is insane . id guess its the biggest underdog theyve been in years . ill do a write up on this game later . i know im a Pats homer , but even looking at this game objectively thats way too many points to lay and ill give you guys hard facts

Look forward to it.

Truth be told, my gut leans heavily towards NE and to just a lesser extent, SF. Those seem to be the trendy teams right now, so I can't help but the think I'm being a square here. Seattle I think has a better chance at shutting down SF's offense to allow them a shot at covering, but the one thing that I can't get over in the other game is the coaching advantage that goes in the favor of BB and that Pats. I don't think that's even close.
 
The ONLY way I see Denver rolling up NE, is if Brady makes many mistakes and Denver can capitalize. Let's say Holliday even has a return TD. I still think that NE can run and throw on Denver and can put up points in a hurry. Brady probably doesn't throw more than 1 pick and could easily throw none. We aren't talking Andy Dalton here or even Philip Rivers. That Denver secondary is SO SHAKY and without a guy like Von Miller attracting lots of attention on the line, I think Brady could look stellar. I have no skin in this game and could care less, but I can't fathom taking Denver anything other than 3 or less. They were hanging on by the skin of their teeth at the end of last week's game.
 
Thanks for that input Brys. I agree that last week they somehow only managed to squeak by. I think Bill will have a similar gameplan as he did against Indy as it is like the one the Chargers tried to execute last week against the Broncos. They still almost came back to win that despite getting nowhere on the ground and being able to use that to set up the pass the way they wanted to. NE should execute better and if they can, that plan will be perfect in controlling the clock and putting up points to win.
 
**** it , write up is coming now :lol

Patriots +6

i still cant believe my Pats have made it this far this season , but if you look at how the team has been doing lately it shouldn't be too much of a surprise

1. offensive scheme . the running game has taken off over the past several weeks , providing a much more balanced plan of attack . this was the plan all along this season , but RB health and ball security issues hindered the ability to consistently rely on the running game . no part in the season was the trust in the RB core lost more than the 1st match up against Denver in week 12 , where Ridley and Blount lost fumbles in the 1st quarter and were both benched for the rest of the game . but since then , things have changed dramatically and the team hasnt lost a fumble since . subsequently , the play action game has become extremely dangerous and will certainly test the suspect Denver secondary . Harris Jr. going down for the Broncos is devastating , as he is ranked on profootballfocus.com as the 9th best corner in the game . if the running game gets going against the Broncos , the Patriots should have absolutely no problem putting up points against the Broncos and winning the "time of possession" battle.

2. defense . Belichick and Patricia are masters at taking away one of the opposing team's main threats and challenging them to beat the defense otherwise . in the first match up , the team took away the passing game and dared the Broncos to beat them on the ground . Moreno's 240 yards -- albeit impressive -- werent enough to get the Broncos the win . over the past few games , the defense has become accustomed to their limited personnel and the rookies have flourished . Collins was an absolute beast against the Colts , and our secondary is finally healthy again with McCourty , Talib and Dennard back . Julius Thomas being active for this game is a big advantage for the Broncos vs. the last time they played , but i feel good about the Patriots being able to limit the defense enough to keep this game close . remember -- the Broncos went up 17-0 in the 1st quarter off of 3 back-to-back turnovers from the pats . in the 2nd half , they outscored the Broncos by 28 points and limited the NFL's #1 offense to a mere 7 points

3. point differential . looking at the Patriots box scores , two stats stand out :
a) they have not lost a game by more than 7 points all year (-7 vs Bengals , -3 vs Jets , -4 vs Panthers & -4 vs Dolphins)
b) other than last year's AFC Championship game , the Patriots have not lost a game by more than one score in THREE YEARS

six points is simply too much to give up , and buying a point would make it even sweeter
 
NE with Brady at QB hasn't been a touchdown underdog since Brady's first playoff run versus both Pitt and Stl...heard that on the radio, not sure if true. both were over 7 though.
