Goodness no, now that wouldn't do at all!

I'm going to judge whether I should touch the NFL the first few weeks by how this would go:

Falcons +3.5
Chiefs -3.5
Rams -1.5
Lions -2.5
Texans +7.0

I didn't touch it at all last year until I saw the Patriots were +150 underdogs against the Chiefs in the AFCCG, and as a Chiefs fan there's no goddamn way I was passing that up. I have very conflicting feelings about Dee Ford.

Similar to my week 1 thing:

Ravens +5
Falcons +1
Cardinals -2
Buccaneers -5
Texans +3

I should have been betting against my lovely teams and on the Pats for years now, god drat it.

I came back from a hiatus from sports betting to go in hard on Patriots +150 against my hometown Chiefs in the playoffs last year because I thought it was effectively free money.

I have very conflicting feelings about Dee Ford.

Dallas -7 at the Jets seems way too good to be true, am I missing something obvious?

Thank god I'm aware I'm as bad at this as I am

So far the only football I've bet on this season was the Rams +1 against the free-falling Cowboys, whoops!

I'm going back to what worked for me in the past (betting against my hometown team in the playoffs) and getting in on Titans +295

Someone who knows more than I talk about SB prop bets so I can throw some money into a fire.

Not putting anything down yet, but if I were gambling today I'd go Cardinals -7 vs. Football Team & Ravens -7 @ Texans

Not bad!

I also threw in Green Bay straight up and ATL -3, the latter of which I don't want to talk about.

Going for a moneyline parlay of Rams/Chiefs/Cardinals/Ravens in the early window

Dropped a hedge bet on the Raiders a little while ago, so barring an Alex Smith miracle comeback I'm up for the morning.

Additionally threw some smaller moneyline bets on Carolina (yay) and Jacksonville (oops). If Haushka wasn't totally cooked I could have cashed out for a small gain on that one at a tie game earlier, but alas he had to shank them both

I lost what I thought was the freest prop I've seen in a long time, Carson Wentz ending the night with more passing yards than Ben DiNucci against a historically bad defense.

I legitimately hope Jalen Hurts takes his job.

With Pittsburgh still having something to play for in the 2 seed still potentially being in the mix if Miami wins next week, my eyes are bugging out at them being +255 underdogs in Cleveland
