    i see some Eagles action on here. I'm still not gonna call the game. That being said, I do like the way the Eagles players handled themselves in the off season.

    I also like the way Jalen Hurts has handled himself. I may not agree with some of his "other " viewpoints, but as far as football, he's got his head on straight. No bragging, etc, just focused on the upcoming season.

    How this will translate into a successful Eagles season and winning this first game, we shall see.

    I realize the Cowboys stink. But don't forget this is one of the NFL's biggest rivalries, and they usually play tough when coming to the Linc. Wouldn't surprise me if the Cowboys are really juiced for this, especially trying to knock off the Super Bowl champs, and maybe take the lead in the game. Maybe even into the second half, before the Eagles superiority finally kicks in and the Eagles win the game.

    Will it be by over 7.5 points? I'm not sure, hence no call. But I agree that the Eagles ML is the best play versus the spread. I never once complained about a ML win, even if the team handily beat the spread, and betting the spread would have paid more.

    BTW - What's the over/under on Bill Belichick getting fired?

  • bgrbgr Posts: 2,728 ✭✭✭✭✭

    He lost his first NFL game too. Then he won his next two. Follow the script.

    What your comparison with an event from decades ago, has anything to do with the present situation, I'm not even going to try to figure out. I'd rather work on Rubik's Cube. LOL

    Regarding Rubik’s cube…. There is a simple repetition that every child has been taught for 50 years on how to solve the cube in seconds.

    Regarding football, it was not a serious statement but it is a punch of perspective. He could fail and it won’t matter but he might succeed! It still won’t matter.

    Not to mention that I don’t want to just agree with what Dave Portnoy has said for months. Everyone has flopped onto the “down with Bill” bandwagon so it’s simply not that interesting over there. Now he’s out there just showing middle aged men what’s possible if you stay fit and attractive into your late late late late 40s.

    losing to Dallas at home in week 1 after a SB victory would be a very bad loss. their rosters are incomparable, especially after Jerry just allowed his best player to leave.

    anything is possible, but that anything would require Philly to sleepwalk for multiple quarters and/or turn the ball over multiple times.

    the point spread has moved to -8 and the ML to -450 at my book

    "Eagles opened at -7 at home against the Cowboys. Of course in the NFL, there are no "must win" games in the first game of the season. However the Eagles really do need to win this game, favored at home against a very beatable Cowboys team."

    I had posted the above a few weeks ago in the Eagles thread. So I definitely agree with ya.

    That money move I think is a good sign.

    But say if Dallas is up by 4 points at half time. I'm guessing the point spread would still be the Eagles favored, but only by around 3 points, maybe 4. In my opinion, win or lose, that would be one heckuva live bet value on the Eagles -3, even at -4. The money line a good value as well.

    Hopefully the Eagles WR's are good to go, I read yesterday that both were hurting from minor injuries which is completely ridiculous

    Giving this game some thought I do think the Eagles will probably win but this isn't going to be an auto win imo

    8.5 points is a lot, Kenny Clark is an 18 wheeler in the middle of the line which might slow Barkley down a bit or force him to run outside constantly

    Dak has Lamb and Pickens which is pretty formidable, like I said Philly should win but don't sleep on Dallas here

  • galaxy27galaxy27 Posts: 8,655 ✭✭✭✭✭

    if the Philly ship sinks there's going to be a lot of people on board

    line is now -9 at my book

    I just saw the Eagles move to -8.5 which is making sense.

    This may sound funny, but I think some of those Big Boys who got stung betting Texas the other day, may be pounding the Eagles here looking to get even.

    In my view the spread is a bit too much of a coin flip. And any player betting coin flips against a bookies juice is a guaranteed long term loser. I'm passing on calling the Eagles here, but of course as a fan, I hope they blow-out the Cowboys.

    With the Eagles at -430 that means a $100 wager gets you around $25 profit, actually a little bit less. But just for quick illustration sake, at $25 profit, to break even you'd have to win this bet 4 out of 5 times. To show a profit, you'd have to win this bet 5 out of 6 times.

    I can see "possibly" winning this ML bet 5 out of 6 times. But to me against a bookie, "possibly" isn't good enough. So I'm going to pass on calling this game either way, spread or ML.

    With a ML wager at -430, I'd want to see a situation whereby I feel a team can win the game at least 5 out of 6 times, or even more than that. I think this is the only way to beat the bookies computer. You have to calculate that you have the edge on a bet. Otherwise, may as well just send ACH payment to the book for your allotted wagering money, save yourself the trouble of agonizing over each game. LOL

    Browns: +40000 (bet $10 to win $4,010 total)
    Saints: +50000 (bet $10 to win $5,010 total)

    I think the Cowboys were 60-1 before the Parsons ordeal, now at 65-1. So the Parsons release didn't hurt them all that much in the odds.

    Jerry may be overdue for a big season, but it won't be this season.

    I think the Super Bowl is wide open. Anything is possible but I just don't see the Eagles or Chiefs winning it, maybe not even getting back to playing it. Sure hope I'm wrong about the Eagles.

    Those lower double digit teams, around 25-1 and less, wouldn't surprise me in the least if one of them hoisted the Lombardi trophy.

    I've found over the years, that rather than snowballs, D size batteries have better stopping power. However switch to a smaller size if more distance is needed. 😉

    DK has it at Eagles -8.5

    ML Eagles at -395

    Looks like the ML action is going to the Cowboys.

    Tough game to handicap versus the odds. The call could go either way in this game.

    I'm just gonna sit back and root for my forum bros here who have the Eagles ML.

    Game so far going exactly as called.

    I ain't worried about it. Not yet anyway.

  • stevekstevek Posts: 30,387 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Those dam touchdown props. So tough to hit. Lamb was within a yard of scoring, and Barkley several chances around the 2. yard line.

    Still plenty of time left.

  • stevekstevek Posts: 30,387 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Okay, I'm a glutton for punishment. I admit it.

    I'm calling Penn State -42.5 on Saturday.

    Which happens to be the exact same spread as their previous game, when they failed to cover in the last 25 seconds.

    I figure every team deserves a second chance. 😉

  • stevekstevek Posts: 30,387 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Not calling anything, not yet anyway, just wondering if the Chiefs may be looking past this upcoming game against the Chargers, to a rematch with the Eagles in their game after this one.

    I mean they had to be steaming all off-season, thinking about that Super Bowl blow-out loss.

    I'm not saying the line is off. Chiefs on the road are -3.5 favorites against a tough division rival. Seems about right.

    If it was almost any other team than the Chargers I'd take the points but they simply do not know how to win, I think the entire organization is under cover one of the worst teams in the league

    Obviously they will win some games but given the talent that they supposedly have they will continue to disappoint

    Another factor in play here is the Super Bowl losing team, historically doesn't have a good following season. Not every time of course. We shall see what happens, but I'm not expecting the Chiefs to be back in this next Super Bowl. I'd be surprised.

    this may be my favorite bet of all time

    10 team, 21-point teaser

    every one of these cupcakes is getting at least 7 touchdowns and a field goal to start the game

    i can see it now........i hit 9 and it comes down to Kent St.......who loses 70-0

    -3970.49


    you'll never be able to outrun a bad diet

    You just described exactly what happened when I drew up. one of those beauty's

    Good thing is that it's nearly impossible for that to happen to both of us lol

    Nobody should ever accuse Galaxy of not being innovative. 😉

    I'm calling the ML for Belichick's Tar Heels on Saturday. Yes, very short ML odds at -13.5 spread. But I think they bounce back and win it with no problem. Maybe even against the spread. However I'm calling the money line to be safe. Safer than a money market deposit. 😉

    Wonder how many under players cashed out at halftime for maybe 1 or 2 cents on the dollar and were happy to get the 1 or 2 cents.

    My buddy is riding Shane Smith again, he wanted to bet 3k on this but I got plans today so I can't swing by his store to grab the cash and run to the casino so he sent me what he had in his PayPal account to put in the bet for him on my app

    Hope this kid doesn't disappoint, last bet was against the Royals who just don't strike out much and now he is facing the Tigers who are 5th or so in the league in strikeouts so fingers crossed for him

    This is exactly why you wait till the game is over before you assume a win and put another bet in thinking you got the W before the game is over.

    That is crazy they only scored 3 in the entire second half

    I looked up the game and Blaser is behind the plate. He's pretty accurate as the zone goes and only statistically a little hitter-friendly. Hope he gets this one.

    Thanks man

    He mentioned the Royals being stingy on the K's like you had said and openly admitted he didn't research his previous bet enough beforehand, he knows the risk but definitely better to go against the Tigers this time

    That's a good situation, you help out your buddy which of course you would do for free anyway. And it's nice that the wagering amount adds to the "profit boost" and "no sweat bet" type rewards.

    A win-win for both of you, and this time let's hope your buddy grabs some green from the bookie.

    Not to be that guy... but just in case you didn't know, proxy betting for someone else is often frowned upon by the online sportsbooks and is considered by most to be a violation of their terms of service. It can even be considered illegal, depending on the jurisdiction... carry on.
