THE final game of NFL week nine sees NFC West leaders Seattle Seahawks host a Buffalo Bills side who've lost two on the bounce.
Seahawks have won all three of their home games so far and are 4-11 at Marathonbet to continue that perfect record while the Bills are 5-2 at the likes of Skybet and Betfred for victory.
Staying Stateside, there's plenty of NBA matches throughout Monday night including the likes of Orlando Magic at Chicago Bulls and New Orleans Pelicans on the road at Golden State Warriors.
Back in Blighty, the Champion of Champions snooker event gets under way and the day one action sees Robin Hull try to pull off a shock against Ronnie O'Sullivan before Mark Davis and and Martin Gould go head to head.
Good luck with your bets and let's hear all your sporting tips and chat.
In December 2020 we sadly 
It wasn’t so much a game of two halves but a game of two sessions. My Early tips were let down by LA missing that number again (two) as they blobbed a pair of Fgs I had no dramas tipping another winning double, but the treble was let down by Green Bay who chocked at home, as they were destroyed in the first half 24-10, this after the Vikings had opened the door for them in the North.

The Evenings games proved much better with me landing 5 out of 6, three of them easy as you like. Gates prop and anytime was up by halftime, and when I feel the bookies have a player line short of around 20-40yds in my eyes that’s when I pounce and that was the case with Kap. His line was set at 190.5yds by half time he had 286yds and went a couple of yards under 400yds. My followers were sat in awe has we blitzed the line easy :-)

Well done if anyone else had a few winners, chin up if you didn’t, onwards. I wish you all well with your punts today.

Lost by one point/rebounds on Cousins twice already this season :D
Afternoon gents. Have just seen the highlights of all yesterdays action. Unfortunately my own Green Bay Packers failed to put away the Colts and give themselves a chance of one more drive at Lambeau which downed the double and treble. That’s a shame considering the Cowboys and Chargers both pulled in their respective markets, with Ty Montgomery bringing in his rush and receiving yards for Green Bay. Loss on the week but only 15 points which still leaves me in profit.
Tonight I’m taking another running backs rush and receiving yards in CJ Prosise for the Seahawks in Seattle. The rookie had his most productive game so far this season last week, albeit against a terrible Saints defense who actually played much tougher that day. Tonight they are at home against another tough defense. Russell Wilson is absolutely destroying my fantasy season this year and hasn’t thrown a TD since the 2nd October. Last week Prosise had 4 carries for 23 yards and 4 receptions for 80 yards with one completion coming on a 43 yard catch and run.
Pete Carroll has come out in the press this week and said Prosise will get more work going forward and tonight could be another good night for the shifty back with the Bills ranking third in the league in QB pressures. If they get pressure on Wilson (which they will) he’ll be dumping it off a lot to his pass catching back which should be Prosise over Michaels.
CJ Prosise (Seattle Seahawks) Over 45.5 Rush and Receiving Yards @ 5/6 @ 365 – 3.6 points

NFL Ante Post Progression
Green Bay Packers NFC North Winners 8-11 @ betfair – 11 points (now 7/4) – NFC North now even more wide open than it was last week. Green Bay failed to capitalise on the Vikings loss against Detroit and now its back to a three horse race. Packers still have the easiest schedule, but even then they aren’t showing they are the best team in the North.
Ezekiel Elliott (Dallas Cowboys) Over 1110.5 Rushing Yards 5-6 @ 365 – 6 points – Leads the NFL in rushing with 891 yards. Unless he seriously injures himself this bet is a given.
Oakland Raiders to make the playoffs 5-4 @ 365/Betway – 4 points – Currently the third best team in the NFL and the playoffs are more or less certain for the Raiders. Beat a very good Denver side last night and now top the division. Again, bet pretty much done and dusted. Cover will be available tomorrow but I’ll be leaving it.
Green Bay Packers – Super Bowl Winners 17-2 @ Skybet– 2 points – Long way to go…
Green Bay Packers NFC North
New England Patriots AFC East
51-50 @ Skybet– 8 points – Still very much has a chance. Hopefully cover at some point along the way. If New England don’t win the AFC East I’ll send Max a pair of my undies in the post.
Green Bay Packers NFC North
New York Giants NFC East
New England Patriots AFC East
9-2 @ Skybet– 2 points – This one could be bust already with the Cowboys impressing week after week and the Giants will do well to win their division. They have given the Cowboys their only loss of the season, but even then it was one an error from the Cowboys receiver not to get out of bounds.
Lamar Jackson Heisman Trophy Winner @ 11/10 @ PP – 10 points – I last saw this @ 2/9 @ PP, the guy is a monster. Basically leads his team in pass and rush yards every game. This weekends totals were 12-17 completions, 231 pass yards, 4 pass TD’s, 1 INT. 15 carries, 185 rushing yards, 3 rushing TD’s. Pretty sure that 2/9 will be closer to 1/7 tomorrow unless they have pulled the markets now.
New England Patriots AFC Winners @ 11/10 @ William Hill – 7.5 points (Now best @ 10/11 @ Ladbrokes which I’ll stake another 5.5 points on.) Should be cover at some point. I really don’t know who there is to challenge at the moment in the AFC for the Pats. The Raiders might have the second best record in the AFC but the Pats would eat them for breakfast as they make to many mistakes and have scraped wins on multiple occasions this season.
New England Patriots Super Bowl Winners @ 3/1 @ Marathon Bet – 2.5 points – Now best @ 2/1 @ Various
Admin, whats going on, my posts are not being posted?
I passed on last night, had too many doubts in mind and I know better than to force a bet, always take a rest night now and again.
This may not be the most popular bet on the board, but I like it!
Utah Jazz @ Philadelphia 76er’s.
At +/- 7.5 I think this line is slightly inflated.
I’m not expecting Utah to notch up a lot of W’s on the road (16-25 last season), and winning b2b road games is a tough ask.
Hayward has only just came back from injury, and was heavily involved in the win over the Knicks last night. He could well be rested, or at least limited minutes (all though nothing is confirmed).
I expect the Sixers to at least be competitive at home this season, and they’ve already shown that.. keeping close games with Thunder, Magic and the Cav’s already.
I think this is a bad spot for Jazz, and a good chance for the Sixers to get a first win, but I’ll take the points.
Philadelphia 76er’s +7.5 @ 1.90 (Bet 365) – 2 Points.
Also, not going to count this towards my stats, for fun I’m putting small stakes on 76er’s ML @ 3.65.
Good luck with your bets tonight.
I’m adding another 2.4 points to Prosise’s total at 365. He only saw five fewer snaps than Michael last week and could take the lead role with strong performances in the next few weeks. Like David Johnson for Arizona, he converted to running back in his final college season. Very much a dual threat.
Kemba Walker (Charlotte Hornets) Over 32.5 PR&A @ 5/6 @ PP – 2.4 points
Grim night last night on the NFL .well done to any winners

Olympiakos @ Aris (17:00GMT)
Points Spread: Olympiacos (-6.5) @ 5/6, Skybet – 1.6pts staked.
Total Points: Under (148.5) @ 5/6, PP – 1.6pts staked.
Good luck!
NBA daily picks:
Charlotte – Indiana (Pick 1X @1.46)
– Charlotte is 4-1 this season and 4-0 vs Indiana in the last 4 matches. Charlotte had one of the best records in season 2015-2016. Indiana is weak on defense and good on attack, but Charlotte has a very strong defense (no 3 in NBA).
Philadelphia – Utah (Pick 2 @1.35)
– Philadelphia lost all 5 games this season. Utah is 4-3 and they have beaten San Antonio and New York away from home. They also have Gordon Hayward back, who contributed with 28 points last night against New York.
Oklahoma – Miami (Pick 1 @1.45)
Oklahoma is 5-1 this season, while Miami is 2-3, and the 2 wins were against Sacramento, hard fought game and Orlando, much weaker teams than Oklahoma. Westbrook + Oladipo will rock this game, easy home win.
Chicago – Orlando (Pick 1 @1.35)
Both teams are 3-3 in this start of the new season, and Orlando has come back from 0-3, but the wins were against Washington, Sacramento and Philadelphia. Dwyane Wade is playing some great basketball though, and Chicago had beaten Indiana and Boston at home, 2 of the top teams in the Eastern Conference.
LA Clippers – Detroit (Pick 1 @1.25)
LA Clippers are 5-1 (They only lost to OKC) and Detroit 4-2. The problem for Detroit now is that Andre Drummond (C) will draw a matchup against DeAndre Jordan, and Detroit backcourt has to face Chris Paul and J.J. Redick. It won’t be an easy game for LAC, but I’m confident they can win by more than 4 points.
Five fold ~ @4.82
GL all!
Early Saturday Rugby Union Double
England -4.5
Australia -4.5
Just under evens @ bet365
England are in grat form at the moment and have only one injury worry for Saturday. They haven’t beaten SA for 10 years at Twickenham and this represents their best chance. SA are on a run of poor form and their coach Alistair Coetzee is feeling the heat from the SA press and public. They drew 36 all with an under strength Barbarians team and although only 4-6 of those will play against England you can see something ain’t quite right. Another big motivation for England is their unbeaten run in 2016. Now NZ have been beaten England could become the invincibles of 2016 by winning their next 4 games. Hugely impressive on tour in Australia they should dominate against SA at Twickenham.
Australia have shown they still mean business with a convincing win against an under par/injury prone Wales. They still went about their work like true professionals and did so when beating Argentina recently by 11 points. Scotland are much improved and their match from the World Cup surely still lingers in the memory which gives this game some extra edge. Australia have some real quality players and if they show up on the day no amount of Scottish pride will be able to stop them. Australia will want to prove they are not in decline and will see this as a good opportunity to get a good run going.
GL if you follow
I like the look of both and would probably add Wales to beat Argentina @1.5 as well. I think the most risky one here is England – physicality is key in my opinion. I am always the optimist though and feel as though if any team can break SA, it is the one we currently have under the main man EJ.
GL buddy!

Final Score: 63-70 ?
Not sure if anyone backed the above spread but just a heads-up….Skybet had settled the bet as having lost but I’ve corrected them on this and they’ve now settled the bet!
I got on the -6.5 so thanks very much Hunter! Unfortunately as you say Skybet still have it as a loss. I’ve message them so hopefully it’s sorted soon!
Seems to be common practice for them to wrongly settle a bet, makes you wonder how many ppl never actually notice these discrepancies.

Hmm Sunday night wasn’t great kyle rudolph was my only winner accas were garbage and the way the vikes got done really annoyed me. Anyway onto tonight and I’ll be honest Im not expecting a thriller. Haven’t looked into stats too much but was told by my brother that Wilson ain’t scored a passing td for 3 weeks and without a rushing game to speak of i dont see why Seattle covering. One simple bet for Me
Buffalo +6 stake 5,000,0000 pts or a tenner. Whatever works.
