New Year…
New You…
New states with legalized sports betting.
And more importantly… New me, new results (hopefully)…
So, let’s get right into the action.
Mr. Yours Truly, Mr. SportsKnowItAll, is going with a (hopefully) lucky 6-game parlay in the NFL.
Happy New Year (hopefully)!
‘Never Bet the Farm3’ Week 17:
OVER 40.5 total points CAR Panthers @ TB Buccaneers
UNDER 52.5 total points CHI Bears @ DET Lions
JAX Jaguars -3.5 @ HOU Texans
MIN Vikings +3 @ GB Packers
NY Jets -1.5 @ SEA Seahawks
OVER 35 total points PIT Steelers @ BAL Ravens
Insights:
I certainly don’t think of offensive shootouts when I think of Tampa Bay and Carolina this season. But I think the oddsmakers overshot the number with this one. These are professional football teams and 40.5 total points is really low. Look for the OVER!
The Bears and Lions haven’t played much defense this year, but I think the oddsmakers are off on this one too. It’ll be higher scoring, and I’m still going with the UNDER.
Jacksonville isn’t resting any starters, and I like their chances in Houston. Look for the Jaguars to win and cover rather easily!
The Vikings have an opportunity to end the Aaron Rogers era on a high note. I’m a little confused about why they’re the underdog. Kurt Cousins is the new old dog of the division. Look for the Vikings to cover!
The Jets secondary is the new-age version of the Legion of Boom. Sauce Gardner is the man, but some people already knew that in college! I bet they’ll be motivated to shut down everything today in Seattle. Look for the Jets to win and cover by a touchdown+!
I understand how nobody trusts the healthy quarterbacks for the Steelers and Ravens this week, but 35 total points is a really low number. These are professional teams. It’s a new year! I’m going with the OVER.
The fancy Barstool Sportsbook & Casino App bet builder shows me how $10 should be a new $462.60 before you give up on your New Year’s resolution by Monday.
Badda-bing, Badda-boom.
EASY MONEY !!!
Just remember all you wannabes…
Don’t bet any more than you’re willing to lose, and never bet the farm3.
And more importantly… Happy New Year! (everyone except Doug Flutie).
