FRESH off a bye I’m backing on Zeke to bruise through the Tennessee defense. The Titans will hope their offense has improved over their own bye themselves, however this isn’t likely to be a Monday night classic.
Neither team has wowed on offense and I don’t think Amari Cooper is going to help the Cowboys all that much. With a new offensive line coach they’ll be keen to show they’ve upgraded their run game and Zeke should get enough touches to cover this.
Sal could also be quite handy as he has shown in last weeks with the Cowboys using him for runs more than just broken down scrambles. 32.5 is his line @ Pinnacle. 34.5 @ 365
Recommended bet (Tuesday 1.15am)
- Ezekiel Elliott (Dallas Cowboys) Over 115.5 Rush and Receiving Yards
- (4-5, bet365) – 2.5 points
Small interest on a team who I think are playing better than what the books make them. Still fairly trash but then again neither team is anything to shout about just yet. The Suns rank last in turnovers and I fancy the Nets who can beat sides like the 76ers to win in Phoenix. The travel and time zone won’t help but an extra days rest is in their favour.
Brooklyn Nets ML @ 4/5 @ William Hill – 2.5 points
Early selections this week.
Falcons -4.5 vs Browns – Falcons seem to be surging for a play-off push and they’re going to need this win if they want to keep up with the Panthers and Saints.
Saints – 5 vs Bengals – Luckily for the Bengals this isn’t a primetime game so they might be competent but can I pick against after they held a 3 score lead over the best team in football? Still won by double digits.
Patriots -6.5 vs Titans – Mariota is not in anyway shape or form similar to Rodgers other than probably leg mobility. Nor do they have a better offense players or schematically. Prop bet for Dion Lewis yardage is also a strong consideration we don’t tend to cover running backs too well.
Chargers -10 vs Raiders – Is this the year Rivers finally gets a strong push from his team? Seems like 07 all over again. Raiders just got whopped by the 49ers anything less than 2 clear scores here would be disappointing for the Chargers.
Bet365 pays out at 12/1.
Not feeling 100% on this so give it a miss if you like, but tonight I’m on Greg Olsen’s Receiving Yards for Carolina in Pittsburgh. The Steelers gave up 100 yards to three of the Baltimore tight ends last week, with Mark Andrews seeing the bulk of the targets for 50 yards. Olsen is an experienced vet who knows how to find the soft spots in the zone. Very hard to fathom which way this one could go, but two tough run defenses might be more suited through the air tonight.
Greg Olsen (Panthers) Over 47.5 Receiving Yards @ 365 – 2.5 points
Best Thursday night game all season, both Number 3 seeds in respective conferences.
Looking forward to it mate. Quite like Cams rushing yards @ 39.5 @ 365 too.
7 freaking yards -_-

17/4 @ bet365! I’ve done just under a point to round off the account nicely. Wish I could stay up but shattered. Fingers crossed I wake up and it’s been a great game for those watching and winners all round 👍🏻 Cheers for the tips Jordan & harleec7 I’ve noted that write up for the weekend. Hoping its another big weekend after 2 crackers in a row.
21/5. Maths is pish. Still buzzin after a great night at The Celtic Park disco 🤣
Greg couldn’t get his yards considering the Panthers being down big early. Pitt brought the total in by themselves 🙈
Tonight I’m on an NBA double. I was bored by Denver last time out but I’m backing them against the Nets at home. Brooklyn as we saw the other night were decent in Phoenix and are on a 2 win streak (that’s big for them). Should be fired up but its tough in Denver.
Double them up with the Jazz at home to the Celtics. The return of Gordon Hayward will be special, but without Kyrie they may struggle. They rallied last night in an OT win in Phoenix, but Irving will be dealing with a personal status.
Nuggets -2 – 2:00AM
Jazz ML – 2:30AM
4/5 @ 365 – 2.5 points
