Write up to follow tomorrow.
MNF – Lions @ Seahawks
Jimmy Graham (Seahawks) TD @ 6/5 @ 888 – 2.5 points
Seattle Defense/Special Teams TD could be worth a go @ 4/1 @ WillHill
Can’t take it as a winner but said I fancied Cole Beasleys yards in the late game which was 40.5, currently on 62 and Dallas have just tied it up with under 2 minutes to go in the 4th. Looks like OT.
Wow. Saints have a chance to kick a winning 30 yard field goal with 16 seconds and it hits the upright.
Saints win with an 80 yard walk off TD from Drew Brees for his career 400th.

Any Tennis this morning gents?
In play belinda bencic to win the 2nd set
Istomin to win his game from a set down but a break up.
2.5 to 1
Easy money.
Jordan
Coral have a special
Jimmy Graham TD & Seahawks win @ 6/4
Dallas Cowboys @ New Orleans Saints
Jason Witten O55.5 Receiving Yards – @ 4/5 Bet365
Late game this week and I like the look of Wittens yards, he hasn’t blown away the league with his yards this season but 3 games and has 6, 7 and 8 receptions with 65, 56 and 60 yards respectively is a consistent start.
What makes it more appealing is the Saints defence against TE. Last week they gave up 134 yards to Greg Olsen. Week 1 they also gave up 82 yards to TE Darren Fells
*Won*
Ward to lose 2-0 @ 11/10 looks worth a go. Other than than I’m not really doing much other than in play today.
Disappointed with Philadelphia yesterday, how can a team play so bad yet at times make it look so easy
Istomin had broke serve capitulated and lost his sh.t…what an idiot.
rotten day yesterday, 1 acca got let down by fc basel conceding a last gasp goal and the other 1 by the rubbish philly eagles.
On james ward to lose 2-0 in the tennis today, if this doesn’t change my luck nothing will lol
Posted Jimmy Graham last night but an alternative can take Graham/Wincast @ 6/4 @ Co-ral
No Marshawn Lynch
No rushing TD’s for the Seahawks this season (surprised to see that myself)
Graham leads the team in TD’s with rookie WR Tyler Lockett (special teams TD’s) (2)
Pete Carroll finally got his play calling sorted out with Graham catching 7 of 8 targets last week for 83 yards and a TD last week
Lions have given up a TD in the red zone to a Tight End in all 3 games this season (Green – Chargers, Rudolph – Vikings, Daniels – Broncos)
Nfl
Detroit Lions at Seattle Seahawks 1:20am
DETROIT LIONS to score over 15.5 points 5/6 bet365
Just postin’ to say hello to the NBA lads!
I’m back from my summer holiday’s betting break, will be following the NFL tips on here and get back in the game, seems we’ve got quite a few good ones already thanks to Jordan, PickSix, Chief, Lettuce, Johnb and nice to some new people.
Other sports thread = best thread :D
James Ward to win 1st set slides in… Any nfl tips lads?
Oriaz and Wetveg! Feels like a Thin Lizzy tribute :)
GSW are playing their first pre season game tonight against the Raptors who played yesterday. Waiting to see how much time the champs will get but the spread seem fairly low to say the Raptors are on b2b games. ML a good price which might go well with a lower spread for the Seahawks.
hi Jordan, think al have a dabble on here this season also, read good things about you on American sports tips
what is the best site to use?
also I don’t understand a lot of the bets, what they mean and where to find them so please bear with me on what may seen daft questions, cheers ;)
lol looks like the NBA fever is starting, 3 more weeks and then no sleep for 8 months :)
Crane not just me mate, many good heads on here. What sort of sites do you want mate? Anything stats based ESPN is the way forward.
Tyler I barely get to bed before 3 on an school night but this money won’t win itself :D
Jordan, am lookin at putting your graham TD bet on an johnb’s overs on
cant find either on 365, wh an paddy as said tbh not really sure what I’m looking for re the terminology, any advice appreciated dont want tae make a cant of it, many thanks……..
Anybody any thoughts on the Nfl special for 2nites game on paddypower. Russell Wilson to pass over 250yrds, 2+ Td’s and seattle win @5/1
After still be pxxssed off with last night, just run it 2 fing yards and job done. The only thing I can compare it to is a footy team having a choice between a penalty and dangerous free kick and turning both down a taking a fing throw in.
Bet 1 Jordan
Jimmy graham anytime touchdown
10 returns 20
John B – Robbed on the Phili -3 and over 23.5 line but went close.
Crane guy – go to score props then about half way down touchdown scorers.
Hope your well
Crane guy – o 15.5 detroit is on team props then go to team points 2 way. The line might have moved to 14.5 on 365 though at 1.83
thanks DW, will give it a swatch an report back ta lol……….
DW, is that on 365 aye?
Nfl Monday
Taking seattle -10 tonight, detroit are pretty much garbage and have a banged up qb, the only thing going for detroit is lynch may be out for seattle but Wilson is good enough to move the chains himself. Lot been made of seattle defence stuttering and not having an interception yet this season they haven’t needed to in order to be where they are at, last week v Chicago they looked pedestrian at times but did Chicago ever look like scoring? Not for me. Megatron bound to get some plays as he too good not to and will probably score but it will only be consolation. I expect a score line 28-10
Bets seattle to win -10
Calvin Johnson & Jimmy graham anytime 9/2
That’s what I like too hear lee, there’s only one team that comes out on top in a cold night in seattle :) Good luck mate
Your vikes came close yesterday would have been a big win in denver that
OMG Taylor missed the bull chief for the 9 darter mate, sickner, thought that 9/2 was coming in there.
Dave, Taylor has you said missed the bull, Anderson had seven perfect darts. The best thing about this tip is you don’t have to have any other bet all tournament it gives you an interest in every game.
Haha Jordan youre right money doesn’t sleep mate
Paire 7/4 d dimitrov
Is dough Baldwin td and Seatle win good value at 3.0
Will hill headline bet
Cheers picksix, your right mate I thought our defence was amazing really got about them and to be fair teddy played well second half and hung with the main man Peyton. Got a bye week so will get Charles Johnson back, my worry is 2 games v green Bay and seattle game to come we need to get the W against one of these guys (sorry Jordan your cheese heads need to go down)
Crane – yep that’s 365 bud
Rawls over 69.5 rushing yards
Banfield over o.5 mg
Aldosivi under 3.5 mg
10 returns 22.34
Goodbye Joe Philbin :)
thanks WC for taking the time to talk me through it much appreciated ………….
took
graham attd 19/20
lions o14.5 tpts 5/6
cheers an GL all……….
DW a mean sorry……….
Dave hahaha just seen your terminology of the Cardinals plays. Not quite that bad. Realistically you can still go backwards running the ball, or even worse, fumble and get a turnover. But still, three chances to get 2 yards, you gotta go ground on at least one. Forgotten about that now. Onto week 5 after tonight.
Lee obviously I was routing for the Broncos but your Vikes hung in there. AP untouched to the end zone was 4th down got me worried. I reckon big Jimmy being targeted on a play action bootleg in the end zone tonight so fingers crossed.
Rawls was the favourite TD scorer this morning but Jimmy G is now top. Lets hope the big man can get in. Good luck gents. Really fancy that Defense/Special Teams TD for Seattle. Going to put a fiver on it @ 4/1 @ Co-ral (0.5 a point)
Jordan where is that bet listed mate?
NFL (Sunday)
New England Patriots @ Dallas Cowboys
* New England Patriots -7 @ 9/10
Im liking the pats a lot in this one, The Cowboys are truly banged up atm and have way too many injuries in key positions. The pats are the last team they want visiting in this situation, coming off a bye week and being fully rested for the game i can see the patriots winning this by a big margain
Jordan hopefully Jimmy gets a score , I think the lions are in for a long night , defence will be pumped shuting down the Bears
I like that defensive TD too , Tyler Lockett taking one to the house , Bam Bam/Thomas/Sherman with a pick6 it has a good chance. Stafford is going to have gamble deep and throw the ball a lot cos there going to be running backwards if they keep it on the ground
Aw fak sake , I knew I should have bet it earlier , wilsons yards were 31.5 yards just a couple hours ago, set at 41.5 now
Danny it’s listed in the TD scorer markets for Seattle. http://www.oddschecker.com/american-football/nfl/detroit-lions-at-seattle-seahawks/anytime-touchdown-scorer
Tyler, I’m thinking Lockett punt return more than anything but picksix or fumble recovery TD could certainly be on with the LOB on prime time.
Tyler am I right in saying Greg Hardy and Rolando McClain are back this week for the Cowboys?
Going to try
Sea seahawks win both halves
10 returns 21
Detroit Lions @ Seattle Seahawks
Thomas Rawls O69.5 Rushing Yards – 10/13 @ Bet365
The rookie got his first real run out last week and whilst he was only up against the Bears D he rushed for 104 yards from his 16 carries averaging 6.5 yards per carry. This week with Beast mode ruled out it looks like Rawls will be starting RB and I expect him to cause havoc again, the Lions have not been good at all against the run this season giving up an average of 112 yards per game
Cheers mate on it
Summary
Bet 1
Jimmy graham anytime touchdown from Jordan
10 returns 20
Bet 2
Rawls over 69.5 rushing yards
Banfield argie prem over o.5 mg
Aldosivi argie prem under 3.5 mg
10 returns 22.34
Bet 3
Sea seahawks to win both halves
10 returns 21
Bet 4
Doug Baldwin td and win
10 returns 30
Good luck all
Jordan I wouldn’t worry about AP green Bay have always known to stick Matthews on him and clamp him, Peterston is always going bust out big run remember him doing it for 97 yards at Wembley against pittsburgh in the ill fated, matt cassell, Josh Freeman era, watched the td on red zone and think denver was expecting a sneak by teddy as huge hole opened for Peterston to run into, enjoyed the fight our boys showed though, enjoy the game lads come on you dirty birds
Ye they both should be back for Dallas wich will help them defensively, hardy plays on the side where vollmer protects though so he should keep him quiet anyway, offensively I don’t think there’s any chance of them being close wat the pats put on the board
You’re right Tyler, especially coming off a bye. Going to put them in this weekends main bet the the standard Jordan -2.5 :)
Lee, looking forward to the two division games this year. Like we said it should be the Pack with Vikes second.
NFL
Detroit Lions @ Seattle Seahawks
* Under 21.5 FH Points @ 20/21 (Half Stake
Good luck with all your bets gents
Time for a brew and the NFL it’s becoming a regular thing this :-)
Evening Guys Detroit @ Seattle
Prime time featuring the Lions, somebody didn’t get the script, I be thinking all day 9pts on the road against a team who haven’t scored a rushing touchdown could be worth a punt, in the end I am not mad enough. This could be easily be a blowout, but I wouldn’t be surprised if the Lions showed up on offence on the big stage.
I tipped Adrian Peterson to torch this Lions D line and he did the business, Lynch is out tonight so Thomas Rawls gets the carries having had 104yds last week against the Bears. I think he will go well but their is an old guy who can get the job done in both the rushing and passing game in Fred Jackson. He is a big red zone threat and will see plenty of 3rd down plays. He is my anytime scorer at 6/4 William Hill.
My prop bets are TE Jimmy Graham, to cover 59.5yds at 4/6 Bet465. Graham moved to Seattle but as yet to settle. I like Graham he is a mis match in the red zone going against a LB or Safety, but he needs to do more on the field. The Gronk makes plays all over the field and Graham needs to start doing that. With Lynch out and Detroit struggling to cover TE’s you pay him the money for games like this on prime time. I take him to cover.
My second prop is QB Russell Wilson to rush for O40.5yds. He leads Seattle in rushing yards and with a rookie starting if Rawls fumbles or cant get it going, I look to Jackson and Wilson taking charge. Teddy Bridgewater is a mobile Quarterback who ran for 21yds of just six Carries, when Peterson racked up 134yds on the ground. I think Wilson makes some big plays with his legs tonight. He is 5/6 at Bet365.
Anytime Scorer
JACKSON 6/4
Prop Bets
GRAHAM O59.5yds 4/6
WILSON O40.5yds 5/6
Good luck if your having a bet
How the f*ck can anyone even think in that noise. Crazy.
The lions running backwards as predicted :)
Go hawks
Anyone come across the lions scoring zip inplay?
Tyler, is he called Danger Russ because he makes everything look like its about to go tits up before making an unbelievable play haha
What a play by Wilson!!!
Danngerruuusss , no QB like him
Obviously not as elite as Wilson, but do you know who he reminds me of play style wise? His first name used to me ‘money’ :)
Bet 2
Rawls over 69.5 rushing yards
Banfield argie prem over o.5 mg
Aldosivi argie prem under 3.5 mg LOST
10 returns 22.34
Nothing like a 90th minute goal to kill a top up low odds part of the bed.
Ffs
Haha basically mate , my heart stops everytime he does that he’s either getting taken out or some crazy sh*t like that will happen lol
On a brighter note
Bet 3 and 4 looking good
Lesson don’t be greedy and top a single up to make 2.0
Bloody 2 minute warning! That was my Jimmy G TD hahaha
‘ Money ‘ is nothing but a college ledgend my friend :)
That was your Graham TD there, so unlucky with that 2 minute warning
Haha by no means comparing the two in talent. Just the type of plays. Crazy scrambling etc
Fu*k sake that line is killing us on offence
My First half points look home now , hoping for us to run away in the 2nd half now
Haha I know wat u meant mate Jonny is the most erratic scrambler I’ve ever seen some of those plays he made in college Still have me scratching my head now , to be fair I think wilson has calmed it down a bit . That line doesn’t help him though he more or less has no choice
Tyler don’t suppose you know what Locketts rec yards were?
They weren’t high mate I think Baldwin and kearses were both around 60 so locketts would have been less than that , he’s some player
Your offensive line is really, really bad.
Cheers mate. One to look out for.
I know it’s mate it’s terrible I think we’re gonna fall short this year because of it
Oops. Maybe not haha
Haha think we cursed him there , luckily our defense is playing on another level
Defence wins superbowls ;)
Hope not, need you to win your division haha
Tonight’s @warriors starters:
G – @StephenCurry30
G – @KlayThompson
F – @andre
F – @Money23Green
C -@andrewbogut
And the @Raptors starters:
G – Joseph
G – DeRozan
F – Carroll
F – Patterson
C – Valanciunas
Tempted on the Warriors spread. No Lowry in the Toronto line up.
Wow this Lions run offence coming in were averaging 45yds rushing, you can see why they absolutely stink!
Seattle making hard work of putting them away, there O-line is poor.
Chief I’ve traded Abdullah out of my fantasy team halfway through that 3rd quarter haha
Bam Bam putting megatron on his ass , stay down son
Interesting twitter fact. The Seahawks defense has not allowed a touchdown in its last 17 regular-season quarters with Kam Chancellor on the field
That Seahawks defence is very very good and I am only just getting into the sport but they look solid
Danny that’s been their forte for the last few seasons. ‘Legion of Boom’.
‘Danger’ Russ…
Well there’s a Special Teams TD but not the right team…
Again the pass protection !!
They showed the blitz and you still don’t stop it
That fact still stands as Chancellor was on the sidelines haha
Just shows the experience really. Gruden explained it. Can’t pick up blitzs to save Wilsons life. Not all on the line though. Wilson should be seeing it as well.
Jordan, hope u at least got a packet of crisp for him :)
I said all last year Seattle wouldn’t repeat, and Brady carved them open in the super bowl. This O line is poor and Wilson as no legitimate WRs to throw too. I am gonna call it now, they aint winning the superbowl this year either. The only trip they make to Levi Stadium this season is a road game to play the 49ers. Sorry Picksix.
Haha no but I took Charles Clay free of charge.
Personally from what I’m seeing now I’m going to say Patriots/Packers. Can probably get good money for that.
Lol I wouldn’t argue with it chief , games are won on the line, there’s only so much wilson can do with no protection. The defence has been good and any other teams offense would have put the lions to bed by now yet they could possibly go on to win this game now
Ohh. Yeeeaahhh
They both looking good mate, but Colts still for me. Win on Thursday they go from 0-2 to 3-2 all in the division. They will walk that division and will only get better as the season goes on with all the new offensive guys.
Bam Bam…
The Betting gods are kicking us in the nuts this game week lol
I’m not so convinced by the Colts yet mate. Their o line is just as bad as Seattles. I’d put Denver next in line before Indy.
Game over. Sh*t. We’ll never know if Graham would have caught that ball on the 2 minute warning but I’ll blame it on that anyway haha
Way to reliant on defence , thechief were gonna fall short this year but I think if we can get a lineman in next years draft and a free agent or two , wilson will be lifting the lombardi trophy again , this season we have no chance although I hope I’m wrong
Frustraing had Seahwaks -6.5 and thought the last few plays would of bought that TD, but they just wasted time. Hate when this happens in NFL its like they just give up and they could of got the TD and made it a 20-10 game.
Yung Kingz, it happens all the time in the NFL, as soon as the opponents are out of timeouts and the game is won they take victory kneels. It is one reason I don’t back on winning margins.
This guy who does the Gruden impersonation puts out some funny tweets. https://twitter.com/FrankCaliendo
Jordan that was a Graham TD right there if the snap came a second earlier that was home
Yung Kingz. Never going to get another TD with no timeouts left for Detroit and past the 2 minute warning. Already fumbled the ball for a TD, can’t risk it again.
thechief, like you i also dont do handicaps. But saw some value in the alternative handicap i chose. Despite Lynch not playing and Detroit rundown by injuries and bad form i honestly thought Seattle could win by more than -6.5. They proved me wrong lol….
Skip Bayless saying the Chancellor play should have been ‘illegal bat’…
20 minutes ago saying Kam saved Seahawks season. What a fool.
Tyler, cheers for that hahaha
Right. Sleep, work, then study like f*ck to get one easy bet for next weekend…
Night gents.
took
graham attd 19/20 LOST
lions o14.5 tpts 5/6 LOST
cheers an GL all……….
