THE Monday night NFL action comes from Lambeau Field where Green Bay Packers bid to continue their flawless start to the season with a third straight win.
Packers have won 10 in a row on their own patch and host a Kansas City Chiefs side who crashed to a painful last-gasp defeat to Denver Broncos in their previous outing.
Green Bay are favourites at 4-11 with Titanbet while the visitors are chalked up at 13-5 by BetVictor who go 20-21 for over 48.5 points in the match.
Elsewhere today the ATP and WTA Asian swing continues with tournaments from the likes of Seoul and Kuala Lumpur where Aussie stars Nick Kyrgios and Sam Groth are both in action.
There's also the usual busy night of Major League Baseball so let's hear your sporting tips and thoughts and good luck with your bets.
Seattle Mariners did me in on a 40/1 MLB longshot 6-Fold I did (didn’t post cos it really was a long shot). They lost by 1 run in the 8th. Would have paid me a cool $1k. Typical, always let down by one!
Week 2 was one to forget about for most in the NFL but week 3 was kinder with some good winners posted all round. My mighty Packers are the last remaining game in the schedule and for my bets. Only a £5 loss on Sunday with the 16/1 acca going down with the early games, so its all on the MVP in the comfort of his own home. If you followed my bets and staking plan, all bets can be covered with the Chiefs +3.5 @ 11/8 @ WillHill. I won’t be covering. However if you do cover and the Packers win by 3 points only, all bets including the cover will win (it’s happened to me twice) :) Good luck to all on the Pack.

Good tip of Novikov yesterday lads in the tennis! We on any today?
John Millman @ $2.16 is looking good to beat the out of form Ernests Gulbism (Shenzen ATP)
No idea why Gulbis in the favourite to be honest…he’s ranked 6 places lower than Millman, and Millman has a much better record on hard courts, both this year and career.
Gulbis is only 6 won & 9 lost on hard this year, whilst Millman is 12 won & 9 lost.
Had a bet on the Becker game for Over 24.5 games? Is it just 2 sets or something as the game has gone from the PP site
Yeah John, Sam Groth had 2 set points in the 2nd set tie-breaker and lost both his serves and ended up losing.
Finished with only 20 games mate…very rare for a Groth game to go under…
I’ll be interested to see Novikov’s odds in Tiburon this week. He’s on course to play Harrison in round 2. Ryan must be sick of the sight of him by now.
Sharapova and Begu to win their respective games is under evens.Worth a tenner.
Anyone on Millman with me? He’s just gone up a break.
Easy come easy go, Gulbis breaks straight back. Ah well
Good night on the Nfl thread last night well done to all we deserved a good week after last week’s woes, good luck tonight Jordan not sure I can cheer your boys on tho
Why mate? Because we’ll be 3-0? :)
Morning lads, i hate cibulkova she is absolute rubbish, Had to get that off my chest.
On a treble today
Edmund 1/2
Struff 2/5
Inglot/lindstedt 3/10
In play bencic to win second set.
Ungur and Riba are now playing the final on an indoor hardcourt. Are you serious?!!
Utter madness. Playing a clay court final on indoor hard.
If it goes tie break millman will struggle with Gulbis serving a fair few aces
Hopefully Ungur wins I have him in an acca and he is the last piece of the puzzle.
Felicity – it’s been raining non-stop for past 2 days. I guess it’s either cancel it or play indoors. All bets should be voided by bookies tho, cos totally different game now… If Ungur loses & you don’t get refunded if be complaining
Whoops, I meant FELIX (damn auto spell)
Riba’s game on hard is pretty bad, so Ungur should win. Obviously more equal on clay
I had it going 3 sets as a final leg on an acca. As it’s now on indoor hard, I’ve cashed out early. Not risking it.
@ Re-invented – what was that about Millman abd the tie break? Lol, he somehow pulled that out of his a$$. Just need him to hang on now…prob go down to 3 sets tho
Gulbis is done. His forehand is basically a lottery.
Jordan – good luck with packers bet tonight.
Had a nice 4-fold yesterday on NFL paying 3-1 on a mix of yours and others bets and also was on JohnBs Raiders points tip. So thanks people
Great, Gulbis the sore loser retired. Now my bet will get voided, argh! What a sook.
One thing that annoys me, is that retirement in Tennis and the bet gets voided, but retirement in Motor racing and the bet stands…even if driver was not at fault and gets smashed into, the bookies steal your cash.
They steal your winnings on Tennis & steal your stake in motor racing
Attila Yeah fair enough it was a hard fought tie break! Have you seen anything else that takes your fancy today? Oh and just a heads up if you had placed it with betfair it would be a winner even with the retirement.
Oh dear, riba now serving for set two.
Radwanska vs Williams
I feel Radwanska after beating Bencic has proved she is still an elite player in positive form.I strongly feel this is a flip of coin considering on the h2h its 1 a piece and Venus is still Venus.
Sorry gave you the wrong info its 2 wins to Venus and 3 to Radwanska Radwanska hasn’t beat Venus since 2014.
Last two matches Venus has won and 100 percent of this years matches have been over 2 sets.
If he does he should be ashamed. I’m pretty annoyed that I cashed out now. Oh well. Never underestimate Ungurs ability to choke
Ungur better not F..k this up.
Felix Radwanska or Williams.The battle of the cerebral players.
Ungur just got broke… :(
Really depends on how Radwanska approaches the game. She’s just won a title remember. Inplay. Oh and on cue, ungur chokes
Adrian broke him back just to get broke back again.He is remedial.
Remedial to Rembrandt all in the space of 3 games.I’ll take the win and never place a bet on him again.
Did he just have 3 match points and somehow not take them.
Couldn’t have come closer with Baroni to beat Pliskova. Looks like she served for it a break up in the third, unfortunately i was sound asleep and unable to cash out.
Kovinic took Vinci to three but came up short in the end, though as the least confident of my picks that’s not sucha blow.
My hopes now lie with Strycova who has taken maria to a decider. a win here and all is well!
and there it is! if you’re with a bookie that doesn’t void that is. sorry if you’re on one that does. Though it could have been a loser had maria finished the match!
Strycova did very well and earned that. 4/1 happy days.
Sharapova currently can’t hit backhands yet strycova keeps playing to the forehead. So stupid
Did you back that on betfair,Ad? I just managed to sneak it in. Sharapova just retired
Felix Ungur ended up winning but not without making life as difficult as possible for himself.
Q Halys to beat T Sandgren @ $2.00 (Tiburon challenger)
Sandgren is in shocking form, only winning against poor opponents whereas Halys always seems to win more matches than he loses.
The Frenchman is worth a punt.
yes Felix. And I managed to stick 2 quid on her at 40/1 when she was a set and break down. Happy days!
Packers to win and Radwanska and Williams over 21.5 games.
Odds :2.5
Bet Type:Double
Attila i saw that this morning and thought that was amazing odds for halya to win, thinking of sticking 100 on it
Tonight’s mlb
Nationals @ 1.52

Jordan, I have Packers at -6.5 in an 8/1 accumulator of which the other 3 legs have won. I know you have the Packers at -2.5 which you don’t see the need to cover. Would you cover the +6.5 Chiefs if you were in my shoes or are you confident enough in the Packers?
Another we bet for today-
Barrere d Struff @ 2.35/1 w bet fair
Anyone following me in March may have won some good money off the young Frenchman before when he took down de schepper against the odds. He’s risen a couple of hundred places I the rankings since then, and has enough game on an indoor hard court to compete with an opponent who has barely seen a fast court in months.
Struffs recent form is impressive, coming off a challenger title in Poland where he beat almagro and cerreno busta. But he has been playing almost exclusively on clay lately whereas Barrere has been enjoying success indoors. Home advantage is another factor and all in all there’s enough here to tempt me in.
Radwanska and Williams went under 21.5 games… Loss
Fair play to Venus though.
Barerre doesn’t look like he going to get anywhere today. Poor pick from me there. :(
Its been an up and down day.
Last bet of the Day for me Everton vs West Brom under 1 goal Asian.
West Brom Vs Everton (Under 1 Goal Asian) First half.
Depends what stake you got on it Merv.
MLB Bet
Single @ 13/8 (£10)
Cincinnati Reds @ Washington Nationals
Cincinnati Reds ML
Reds on a 8 game losing streak but looking at the line ups main players missing for Nationals as there season is over so taking a chance on Reds as they are playing there main players, Reds season has been over for a while now
Packers have scored in every quater so far this season , 7/4 to carry that on tonight is tempting
Jankovic d kerber @ 2.4/1
Looks good to me
Whose that with Johnb
Also pavlyuchenkova @ 4/1 to beat Halep
It’s a grim looking H2H at 0-5 to halep, but with her game Pav is always capable of winning this matchup if she brings her best tennis.
Destroying Kuznetsova 6-0, 6-1 suggests she might. That’s an incredible result really so this must be worth a go, especially following Haleps profitable loss to Allertova
Sorry, brain fade. Whose the 7/4 packers bet with @picksix
Bet365
Tyler, Pats were 11/8 to do the same against the Jags yesterday.
Obviously I’m not on anything else tonight as I’ve got a lot on the line for my own team. But bet I have found which I think might be worth a go is Aaron Rodgers rushing yards. Over the first two games he has rushed over 23 yards or more. Tonight he’ll be facing a lot of blitzs for the Chiefs defense. I can see a lot of roll outs/scrambles in which he did multiple times against the Seahawks last week and the Bears in week 1. Peyton Manning started off slow in Kansas last Thursday but as he got into the game he got off easy short passes and eventually threw for over 250 yards with 3 TD’s. This is forte of West Coast offense for Aaron Rodgers the Packers. Screens, sticks, spots, check downs, you name it, they do it.
I can see him having an easy night as long as the offensive line can keep Houston and Hali at bay, which will be easier said than done with our starting pro bowl tackle Brian Bulaga still out, but like I said, Rodgers scrambled multiple times through the first two weeks and will have to do it even more against a blitz heavy defense tonight. You can get his rush total @ 22.5 @ 10/11 @ Stan James.
That being said his passing yards might be worth a look with Eddie Lacy not being 100% (no James Starks rushing yards available) Lacy hasn’t practised all week due to his ankle injury he suffered against the Seahawks. Brian Hoyer (Texans) threw 236 yards against the Chiefs in week one despite being pulled from the 4th quarter to be replaced by Ryan Mallet who added a further 98 yards for himself with 6 minutes to go. Brian Hoyer and Ryan Mallet are nowhere near Rodgers level and the Texans only have one superstar target in DeAndre Hopkins. The Packers have very good receivers in Cobb, Jones, Adams and Tight End Richard Rodgers, and with ‘A-Rods’ ability to extend plays on his feet I can see him throwing over 300 tonight. You can get his passing yards for the best price to yards ratio @ 275.5 @ 10/11 @ Skybet and WillHill.
Another couple of props to consider is receivers James Jones yards or TD. He has caught a pass for 29 yards or more in his first two games since resigning for us with a TD in both games. His only pass caught last week was a TD against the Seahawks was the 29 yard one although he was targeted three times. His total is 40.5 @ 10/11 @ Ladbrokes (38.5 @ 5/6 @ PP) and best priced to get in the end zone @ 7/5 @ 888.
Go Pack Go!
Which of those props do you feel most likely mate ?
Not regular with this forum but getting into nfl so was wondering who are the main tipsters? Who should I follow?
Bob its Jordan pig six and the chief I believe apologies if I have left anyone out
11/8 thats a huge price, I missed a lot on those early games yesterday. I celebrated wales beating that country they call england i think :) a big to heavily so was in no state to go over my bets in the morning
There’s a few bets i like buddy but like yourself might just leave it and hope for the pack to bring it home
Pick six
Danny if I were to take on I’d take Rodgers passing yards.
Danny are u backing your boys tonight mate against the packers :)
Bobman. Danny is right, but Lee Cunliffe and Johnb also.
Pick six I am waiting till after this game to become official fan mate :-)
Jordan cheers will look into it mate

Post Earlier not Yesterday*
Nfl Monday – finally got decent win with spread treble coming in at 7/1 though Monday night football could be tough to call and I really need Kansas to do us a favour but…
Hmm don’t like saying to many nice things about the cheese heads, if the vikes are going to reach play offs can see us having top group, 2 games vs green Bay,denver next week, seattle to come all games we could struggle with and can see best 10-6 finish. Is that enough to get ahead of green Bay, I doubt it. Beating seattle last week was a real statement from Rodgers and Co and am loathe to take them on at home. That being said a spread of 6.5 against a wily andy Reid is a lot to cover so am going for scorer bets and Rodgers prop.
Green Bay going post points tonight and will be left to Rodgers to get them, lacy is hopeful to play and wether he does or not James starks is decent back up but against Kansas strong front 7 it won’t be easy. Up to couple years ago green Bay didn’t have a running back to call on and yet Rodgers still got the job done, the way he has made James Jones look competent again is testament to him, think even I could get in end zone with Rodgers accuracy. Could be shoot out here so first bet is
Rodgers over 275 yards 10/11 sky bet
James Jones to score 5/4
Travis kelse to score 13/8
Basically the same ideas as me Lee but you can stuff your Kelce bet :) just kidding bud I’ve started him in fantasy this week.
Ha ha kelse is allowed one mate :-D should be tight game will look forward to your commentary good luck
Jared Allen has been traded to the Panthers.
Line has gone down to Packers -4.5 now… was going to stay away from the game, but I think I am going to be tempted to have some of that. Oh I was doing so well with not having a bet in the last 2 days haha. Self-discipline at it’s finest boys and girls haha
Leave the vikings mate you only go down and that’s what happened with Jared well Chicago realised they no chance this year
only gave the Bears a 6th round pick for him too
just seen the -4.5 im guessing it’s the public being dumb and taking that ‘Chiefs were the last team to beat the packers at lambeau’ thing a bit seriously
It’s 5 years on
Lacys available also
Terrible business for the Bears to only be getting a 6th round pick but he’s getting on I suppose. Think the main reason was because they lost Charles Johnson to a hamstring injury yesterday.
Spread down to -4.5 for the Packers. Chiefs were last in receiving yards against before the start of week 3 over their first two games. One of those games against Brian Hoyer and Ryan Mallet combined? I expect Charles to have a good game on the ground but Alex Smith is going to have to throw the ball in the second half and that won’t bode well against Rodgers. We’ve played surprising well against the pass so far. Feels like the bookies are trying to lure you in with the Chiefs. Sorry but I’m not buying it.
Tyler, Lacy and Adams both good to go. Be worth keeping an eye on the spread right up until it kicks off. If the money comes from Green Bay they’ll wait until the last second with it at -4.5.
Ye Jordan something tells me it won’t be -4.5 for too long,
Jordan packers will be working on stopping Charles all week , that line stepped it upagainst lynch after forte was running riot, Charles is a different threat to lynch of course but I’m hoping they stop him and if u take the take the ground game away you got Smith v Rodgers in a shootout , only one winner there
Clay Matthews will be going East to West all night on Charles. That play he made on Forte from the back side showed his pace. Like you say take that run game away and it’s Rodgers and our receivers vs Smith, Maclin and Kelce. No contest.
Evening Guys, Monday Night Football
It been a profitable week 3 so far, 2 out of 3 on Thursday and lots of winner in the late games at odds against last night, so hoping to find some value in tonight’s prime time game.
Kansas lets have it right, blew the game last week against Denver, or rather Jamaal Charles fumbled the game to them. Green Bay are coming off a massive win against Seattle. Kansas have had the extra days rest and will look to have another big game on tv against another elite QB.
Green Bay O line will be without Bryan Bulaga, meaning Don Barclay could be facing the prospect of holding off the second best OLB in the league Justin Houston, Stop him good luck with that, they can rush the opposite side with Tamba Hali. Kansas will pound the ball with Jamal Charles, its obvious if he can eat up the clock it keeps Rodgers on the side lines.
Green Bay may follow the Denver way to beat this team, and that is to go into the shotgun formation. Lacy will play but he isn’t 100% and neither is Devonte Adams. I think they will need to get a run game going to keep the Kansas pass rush from getting to Rodgers. Manning exploited this secondary when he stood back in the pocket and took his shots down the field, I expect Rodgers to do the same, if his O line holds up.
Kansas secondary has given up 500yds through two games this season and all five touchdowns conceded have gone through the air. My prop bet for Green Bay are O3.5 Touchdowns 6/5 Bet365. I think Kansas will give them a real game, but ultimately the Packers will win, so I like the Cobb wincast at 13/8 Coral.
My Kansas prop revolves around Jamal Charles, he is one of the top 5 RB’s in this league, and will be out to make a big impact after last week. As I say the Packs know he is their main guy and will cheat by filling the box by bring up the safties, however the Packers best Safety Burnett is out. He is 4/5 to score at Hills.
I am taking Jeremy Macklin who may see some one on one matchups and he as had 52yds on 5 rec vs Houston, and 57yds on 4 rec vs Denver. His line is 58.5yds at 4/5 Stan James. I think he may get targeted on play action plays and if Kansas fall behind late in the game. Charles could be in for a big game, and if the Kansas D can pressure Rodgers they may have some decent field position. They could cover O20.5pts. It is 1/1 Bet365.

Good read and good luck chief. Don’t disagree with anything you’ve said or any bet.
Spread going back out to -5.5 in places, Packers have just overtaken the Chiefs on amount wagered in the last 5 minutes but it’s fairly even. As long as the -2.5 is covered its all gravy.
Once more. GO PACK GO!
Gentlemen and gentlemen, Aaron Rodgers – MVP.
Cheers mate, thinking and hoping it could be a high scorer tonight, to end a nice weekend. Adams looks already done for the night, big Eddie may not last, I was hoping for a cheeky 45-55yds prop on Starks but the bookies weren’t pricing it up. Enjoy the game mate
Yeah I fancied Starks to have a big game after Seattle last week. Already showing signs of that. QB school for Alex Smith on the sidelines at the moment.
This could get messy , packers have them right where they want playing catch up,
Anybody following my bets. Chiefs +3.5 is 4/1 @ PP
Not covering just yet.
This will be one long night for the Chiefs if it continues like this.
Not too happy with that 4th down call, good field position for the Chiefs. Not that they’ve showed much on offense.
Now we have a game, Feed Charles :)
All from that 4th down play. Stupid call.
Anytime Scorer
CHARLES 4/5 WON 2nd QTR
Sssshhh chief :) Well done mate.
Haha, cheers mate, couldn’t believe the start putting it in Smith’s Hands. Charles could be a good weapon against this pack front seven. For the neutrals its what we needed.
For the neutrals, yes. For my nails, no :)
James Jones yards up in the 2nd. Rodgers halfway through his total.
Am I the only one who thinks Alex Smith could pass as Aaron Rodgers twin?
The 49ers GM did mate, they took Alex Smith over Rodgers in the draft.
Jones TD ;)
Hahahahaha very good chief!
4 props I said before kick off. 2 before HT, 2 looking good.
Rodgers Over 22.5 Rushing – 16
Rodgers Over 275 Passing – 208 before HT
Jones Over 40.5 Receiving – 68
Jones TD – :)
Sticking my neck out

Tyler if you’ve jinxed it we’re not friends :)
How Kansas are putting this game in Smith’s weak arm is beyond me. Even 3rd quarter take time of the clock run the ball maybe get a Touchdown make it a 10pt game.
No, you go throwing screen passes 3yds behind the line of scrimmage in the rain at Lambeau field. Good luck with that.
Andy Reid C’MON MAN!!!!
Haha 17 points behind the packers at lambaeu is a winner to me buddy :) home and dry
Anything u like in next weeks games boys ? Colts should Start making some noise
Ok now we can breathe :) Haven’t had a good look at the games yet mate. Bengals at home to the Chiefs but haven’t seen the spread. Packers at 49ers but no spread out. Cardinals -6 at home to the Rams.
Well done chief on the TD’s.
There goes in another winner half way through the 3rd :D
GREEN BAY O3.5 TDs 6/5 WON
I am thinking the Cobb wincast is done too, but you never know, any given Sunday, Oh wait
Punters that took the Chiefs down to +4.5 will be currently smashing televisions :)
Jordan, cheers mate said it for a few years now, and at being of this season, give it a couple of weeks see some form and see what is what, then this thread is the home of the winners :D
Jordan fell asleep and just woke up wow . Well done mate and the chief phenomenal tipping
Hahaha does any given Monday count? Form certainly coming into play now. Really happy with the Pack defense over the last couple of games. Hope we can stay healthy. Super Bowl 50 appearance could be on the horizon.
As I say that we leave Maclin wide open.
Not over yet Danny mate. Running out of nails to bite :) Did you take the Rodgers yards?
Nothing sticking out for me atm for next week too but the Ravens have a really low points total against steelers on Thursday only 20 points I like the look of it
No mate didn’t take anything just fell asleep instead lol
Haha fair enough mate. I’ll be honest. It probably wasn’t the best week for you to start being a Chiefs fan. Tough game next week too.
That hard count. Every week :)
Packers score in every quarter. Nice one Tyler. I picked a good night to put Cobb and Jones in my UK fantasy :)
Jordan for me it was about starting in the morning I didn’t want to go against your bet with my support for the Chiefs mate . I am glad the bets are looking good mate
Cheers Danny I think that’s it now mate. Out of the 4 props I posted, 3 home and dry, doubt the rush yard swill come in though.
Welcome to the winners thread.
Cheers buddy , glad the pack Have sealed it now too Well done on your winners lads
All day winning :)
Good thing is it gets easier now were going into week 4
It’s a very good thread great winners well done guys and Jordan top tipping mate
Another winner for the chief? Can he weigh in? :D
Maclin chief :)
Yes he can. Well done chief!
Top tipping tonight lads. Doubt there’s a better bunch on NFL punters out there!
I didn’t like that call there, wats Clinton Dix meant to do jump over Maclin so he can gain a few extra yards?
Tyler that’s what I thought. Tough for the refs to see that but was clearly a good hit in slow mo.
F*cking love Jon Gruden haha
Kansas City Chiefs last in receiving yards against before week 3 started. James Jones 40.5 receiving yards with Devante Adams not fully fit? C’MON MAN! 139 :)
I don’t think they got that there. No timeouts, can’t challenge.
Not going to lie, worrying here.
Cheers guys, Macklin getting those matchup i talked about, and he cruised his line. A full house tonight. I was a fumble away from one on Thursday.
It’s only week 3 :D
Lol your nerves have been eased now mate game over
