Never Bet the Farm4 [W2] – Close

September 16, 2023

Close…

So close…

It was THAT close.  

I got the first 5 games right last week. 

Only needed one more to complete my 6-game parlay. 

Waiting on Sunday Night Football to start, the app even gave me an opportunity to cash out for $200+.

I could tell the oddsmakers were shaking with nervousness, especially after surviving the Philly ending. Did I take it?

Did I take $200+ on a $10 bet?

Should I have taken $200+ on a $10 bet?

OF COURSE NOT!!!

Momma didn’t raise no quitter. I let it ride!

Plus, I really thought the Giants would win (or at least cover). 

I had points…

Simply put, I did NOT need those points.

Nor did I win my parlay.

I turned off the game by the 4th quarter. It was tough to watch.

But… You live and you learn. 

So, what did I learn?

Well, I learned a lot.

Am I going to take the cash out next time?

Hell nah! 

Like I said before, momma didn’t raise no quitter.

Instead, I just learned to never trust the G-Men! 

Ever!!! 

(especially on Primetime television)

And most importantly, I learned that I’m close. I’m getting so close.

Therefore, without any more delay, let’s get right into the action.

Mr. Yours Truly, Mr. SportsKnowItAll, is choosing this 6-game parlay mixed evenly between college football and the NFL.

‘Never Bet the Farm4’ Week 2:

UNDER 42.5 total pts. Iowa State @ Ohio
West Virginia -2.5 vs Pittsburgh
Colorado State +23.5 @ Colorado
TB Buccaneers -2.5 vs CHI Bears
NO Saints -3 @ CAR Panthers
CLE Browns -2.5 @ PIT Steelers

Insights:

Both Iowa State and Ohio have slightly better defenses than offenses, or at least that’s how they’re currently playing. Things may turnaround as OU’s QB gets healthier, but I think that will take some time. Regardless, I’m picking the under in this game.

The Mountaineers typically play well at home, and I personally haven’t been impressed with Pitt so far. I’m looking for West Virginia to win by a touchdown+ at least.

Okay, last week, I advised against doubting Deion. No, I’m not going back on that statement; however, I do feel like this spread is too high. The Colorado State coach may have poked the Buffalo with the shades and hat comment, but I still think 23.5 points is too high. I’m picking the Rams to lose but cover.

Who believes in Baker? He looked pretty solid during Week 1, and I definitely trust Baker more than the Bears. In Tampa, I’m looking for the Buccaneers to win by a touchdown+.

Derek Carr finished his first Saints start with a come-from-behind win last week. The Carr special. I don’t think it will come to that this week. It should be much easier. I’m picking the Saints to win by 10+ on the road.  

The Browns might surprise a few people this year (if they haven’t already with the win last week). Deshaun Watson looked good against Cincinnati, and I think he will look even better against the Steelers. Plus, these first two weeks could put Cleveland in the early divisional driver’s seat. I’m looking for them to win by two touchdowns+ on Monday Night Football.

I feel confident. 

Although I felt confident last week. 

And I was so close.

Really, I just needed one more confidence. 

It was that close. 

I’m still using the nice FanDuel Sportsbook App to place my action. Looks like (hopefully) my $10 should expand to $448.51 before you start your Tuesday.

Badda-bing, Badda-boom.

EASY MONEY !!!

Just remember all you wannabes (like always)…
