NEW ZEALAND are the 1-500 favourites to beat Namibia in today's Rugby World Cup clash and William Hill reckon records could tumble.

It is 12-1 that New Zealand break the record for the number of tries scored in a World Cup match (currently 22) and 14-1 that the All Blacks beat their own milestone of 145 points scored in 1995 against Japan.

Namibia are a massive 200-1 at Betway while the Kiwis are evens at the likes of Ladbrokes and Coral on the -77 point handicap.

Today's St Petersburg tennis features title favourite Tomas Berdych against Simone Bolelli and Milos Raonic versus home hero Evgeny Donskoy.

There's also the likes of Super League and Major League Baseball worth a punt so post your tips and thoughts here and good luck with your bets.

    Hey lads, took john b tips on scorers on the Australia v Fiji match, didn’t know john was a fan of the sport, never seen him tip a union game ever and all his tips lost, I normally only follow him on the horses, any sites were I can get stats and h2h on the countries rather than backing blindly? much appreciated.

    Dave probably like you I was keen to try and get into the rugby and place some winning bets.
    I had a double with Fiji + on the handicap v England coming in but then the day after being let down by backing Georgia to lose -7.

    I then took Japan +17 yesterday which lost and then after watching how they tired I predicted the same would happen to Fiji in the second half. …low and behold both lost. ..moral of the story is stick to what u know.

    No more betting on the rugby for me

    Craig. I thought Japan was a steal on the handicap. But a four day rest between games showed at the end. However, if I use the same analogy for New Zealand today, then in theory they won’t be bothered about the minus 77 handicap. I may just look at the try markets for small stakes as the match is on Council TV.

  5. ADC 9 years ago

    hollywood, I was just having a look at the try scorer markets there and the prices are dreadful. The bookies are giving absolutely nothing away. I’m up and down on my RWC bets so far but as stated, if you don’t follow the sport I’d stay clear. I tried to put people of Japan yesterday and although they probably tired a bit in the second half, I think it was also a case of Sco taking a while to get going.

    I think NZ should cover the -77 hcap at evs with most firms today. It’ll just be a small interest bet for me though. The minnow nations are a bit of an unknown quantity even to the bookies so I don’t think you’ll get many attractive bets on these matches.

  6. spidermouth 9 years ago

    Despite being the worst team, Namibia can obviosly play rugby, seen alot of the bigger teams struggle at the lower ranked teams, but a 77 point is astronomincal on this world stage, i realie NZ will trounce them, But 77 point handicap is just a bit far, giving we have no idea what Namibia will bring to the party this year.

  7. spidermouth 9 years ago

    I fancy a Mannarino to beat Mahut today. Mannarino can be a tricky customer. in this all french affair he has never beaten Mahut, However he looked a lively customer against Murray in the US Open taking the first 2 sets. Mahut is ageing, i just feel Mannarino has more skills in his tool box and im taking him to beat his french counterpart here. Mannarino is the better ranked player here by 26 places.

  8. ADC 9 years ago

    I will be waiting until teams are announced but at first glance I like the look of Canada, Samoa and Scotland’s handicaps

  9. Hollywood Rainham 9 years ago

    ADC. Know where you are coming from. Did over 280.5 tournament tries @ evens & the line is now 270.5. Wonder if it will change much if New Zealand go potty later? Watch out for an update Friday.

  10. ADC 9 years ago

    I’m unsure they can play rugby with any ability though spidey. I suppose all we can really go on are their recent results and it’s piss poor stuff. They’ve only scored one try this year against Argentina B (which is actually their third string). Heavy losses to Spain and Romania in the warm ups make for poor reading as well.

    An NZ team full of guys playing for position should completely steam roller them.

  11. Johnb 9 years ago

    Dave I follow most sports but my main ones are horse racing, American football, football, darts, rugby union
    Australia played poor yesterday and after a good start by FOLAU Australia didnt go to him as much as they should have

    New Zealand v Namibia.
    This is an interesting article that highlights the difference between a Namibia and Japan in the rugby world…

    Hope it is of help.

  13. Johnb 9 years ago

    New Zealand v Namibia is a hard one to call and I don’t mean the result, I mean by just how many points New Zealand will win by,
    They have made 12 changes but we knew that would happen and this is the most experienced Namibian side to ever play,

    Jacques Burger the Namibian captain will leave his body on that pitch tonight,

    Last season for Saracens he was icing his knee eight times a day just so he could play

    I wouldn’t be surprised if Namibia won a game this World Cup but not in this match
    New Zealand should win by 50+ points but could be alot more when Namibia get tired

    The best bet though could be a player who might have been overlooked by the bookies

    NEW ZEALAND v NAMIBIA

    BEAUDEN BARRETT anytime tryscorer 1/1 skybet

    BARRETT is one player that will be too quick for Namibia and tonight he gets his chance in his favoured position fly half No 10 shirt

  22. Johnb 9 years ago

    Why are New Zealand so good?
    They dont hide what they do because they encourage their coaches to go to other countries and share the New Zealand way

    Other than the All Blacks, Wales (Warren Gatland), Ireland (Joe Schmidt), Scotland (Vern Cotter), Canada (Kieran Crowley), Fiji (John McKee) and Georgia (Milton Haig) are led by New Zealanders at this tournament. Additionally, Mana Otai, coach of Tonga, grew up in Auckland and learnt the coaching ropes in the country.

    There are also over 20 players who were born in New Zealand now playing for other countries at this World Cup.

    Some of New Zealand’s best talent have never played for their country,
    New Zealand don’t just pick the best players, they also pick players for their character
    That’s something football teams could learn from

    On the pitch they just simply do it the simple way, not taking chances just doing the simple things right,
    They don’t kick for the sake of kicking, they kick for position,
    They move the ball the simple way, about ten yards at a time but not taking chances unless of course if they see an opening

    They wait for things to happen

  23. Humble tipper 9 years ago

    I have lost every bet i have put on so far in this world cup but surely NZ can score 13 tries in this match

  24. spidermouth 9 years ago

    Humble
    Youd think so, and thanks guys for comments above, certainly making me think different about the handicap now. I think realistcally its well with in NZ, and the fact Wales beat them 81-7 and SA beat them 87-0 last time suggests it is very achievable.

    I guess im not used to backing such huge margins, on the border side of caution im going to leave this handicap, as whatever the outcome, ill no doubt be on the opposite end.

    good luck guys

    Its all about the next game, she needs to hold, because if it goes 4-5 i feel Halep will take the 2 and 3rd sets.

  27. Pauldc 9 years ago

    Nz v nambia match will there be a drop goal … 6/1 at bfair for yes .

  28. Humble tipper 9 years ago

    Spidermouth having got both handicaps wrong yesterday i got to try a different market today lol. 13 tries very achievable especially as NZ is not a team to take the foot off the gas. What do you think of england -9 on the handicap saturday? 100% sure they will win the game but by how many

  29. BigB 9 years ago

    Humble Tipper, can I poke your brain a little and ask why you are so certain England will win?

    I am only asking because with the backline that includes Farrell, Burgess and Barritt, England lacks creativity in attack against a traditionally organised defense under Shaun Edwards. Burgess and Barritt are both ball carriers who are not known for unlocking defenses with their vision and passing, against a rush defense, as well as Jamie Roberts, I can’t see them being too effective. Personally, I think Farrell has been selected ahead of Ford to “kick the goals” which to me, underlines the way how Lancaster wants his team to set out against Wales. Yes England have Map, Watson and Brown who supposedly can create something out of nothing. I don’t think Brown can be judged based on last week’s performance against a Fiji side that pretty much just wants to attack. He hasn’t played for a long while (5 months I think) and can he unlock the Welsh defense like he did against Fiji? Hmm…

    Wales have their injury problems, of course. Loosing Webb and Halfpenny were massive blow but their forward pack still oozes class with the likes of Alun Wyn Jones, Lydiate and Warbuton. Warbuton in particular is an out and out 7 compared to Robshaw. I don’t rate RObshaw at all, and this may be why I have trouble seeing England win as their 9 point favourite suggests. I struggle to understand how Robshaw can be in the team playing 7 when there is a certain Steffan chilling in the south of France who is a turnover machine. Anyhow, this leads me back to why I believe Farrell is starting over Ford, because Lancaster can see Wales having a large amount of time on the ball, hence kicking goals and solid defense (Burgess & Barritt).

  30. Humble tipper 9 years ago

    Bigb great write up, with halfpenny i would still back england and without him just gives me 100% confidence. I think all the injury problems will have a mental effect on wales and the crowd behind england will spur them on, sam burgess to me can be an xfactor because he is a quality player and he has got a “natural union brain” so can/will be very unpredictable.

    I can’t see a lot of tries or either team blowing the other away, it could all come down to who kicks better. The handicap line is very tasty because i can’t see more than a converted try in it but that would just be a penalty away from covering the handicap.

  31. Humble tipper 9 years ago

    Namibia not to score a try 11/10, think this has a good chance

  32. BigB 9 years ago

    Hope I am not coming across as snobbish and presumptuous, I just enjoy a good convo about rugby :)

    But since you had natural union brain in speech marks, who was it that said that? Because I have also read about how he lacks understanding in the union game, thus having poor position, mainly in defense.

    He can obviously put in the big hits, but his tendency to rush up to put those hits in that he did in the NRL, leaves gap in the denfensive line which, against Roberts (73 caps), Biggar (35) & Williams (33) are capable of exploiting.

    For me, people who has a natural union brain is someone like Ford and Slade and if someone said to you Burgess has a natural union brain like George Ford / Henry Slade, I am sure you would tell them to jog on.

    X factor wise, I struggle to remember when Burgess has had an x-factor moment if you compare him to the likes of Freddie Burns, Cips and even Slade to an extent.

  33. Humble tipper 9 years ago

    Lol no bigb its good to talk, i hear nearly every former england player come on talk sport and use that quote about him not having a natural union brain. When i say x-factor i mean that air of unpredictable is there with him and he can put in even a super hot that ccan make teammates say wow we happy he is on our side. Do you see wales winning?

    Sticking £100 on namibia not to score a try, thoughts plz.

  34. Jordan 9 years ago

    Already 13 points on my bets this weekend and still yet to place a couple of accas (waiting for the Panthers spread to be released). After checking out a few stats I can’t put my finger on a winner. Despite being written off before the season had started, the Redskins have given up the fewest total yards and 3rd fewest points over the first two weeks. Ok they haven’t faced offensive juggernauts and both have been at home, but this is a divisional match up and 4th quarter Eli has blown both games late on.

    Giants have covered what they were horrible at last season which was stopping the run. They are ranked 3rd in total rush yards against and per game with 68. They have however been poor at stopping the pass, 32nd (last) over their first two games. Tony Romo and Matt Ryan both threw for over 350 yards with Julio Jones blitzing their secondary for 135 yards on the weekend. The highest Cowboy receiver was Lance Dunbar with 80 yards, but no more than 6 of the Dallas receivers had less than 42 yards.

    I admit, Kirk Cousins is no Matt Ryan or Tony Romo, and Washington don’t have a receiving core to shout about, but they do have players who can get the job done in the air. Pierre Garcon and Jordan Reed are Washingtons only two receivers with 10 receptions or higher so far and would be the two I’d look at tonight. Dez Bryant was covered fairly well by the Giants in Dallas with only 48 yards, but they let veteran Tight End Jason Witten score two easy TD’s in the 4th quarter, one with 7 seconds on the clock. He ad 60 yards on the night. They also let ex Bronco Tight End Jacob Tamme go for 77 yards on 4 receptions on Sunday, with a long 41 yard gain.

    3rd year Tight End Jordan Reed is Washingtons highest yardage receiver for the Redskins so far with 145 yards on 13 receptions, with a reception of 25 yards or more in both games. With an average of 72.5 yards per game, the Giants inability to stop Tight Ends, I’m going to take Jordan Reeds Receiving Yards on a small stake for interest.

    Jordan Reed (Washington) Over 59.5 Receiving Yards @ 5/6 @ PP – 2 points

  35. BigB 9 years ago

    I am hoping Wales win just because I think Lancaster made some pi$$ poor calls regarding selections. But I don’t know if I will put money on it or just enjoy the game as a neutral. Big hits can indeed lift a side but they have plenty of people who can do that with Lawes, Wood, Barritt & co. I just think Cips who has done so well to come back into the fold was never really considered, even though everytime he played, he was a livewire. I am a Bath boy so I am happy Sam got the nod, but just gutted for Cips haha.

    I think Namibia no try is a good call, given the class difference. AB didn’t have the bestest of games against the Puma and they will want to prove they are worth the hype. The only worry I have, is that these are mainly 2nd string NZ players, and how much time they have spend playing together to make sure they get the communications right and the line speed and all that right to not conced a try.

    If you fancy a long shot punt, NZ to win to nil is 4/1 @365.

    Take this with a pinch of salt Humble tipper, cause I don’t want to talk you into / out of any bets haha

  36. Harry 9 years ago

    Going to the NZ game tonight as got offered some last minute tickets. Will take johnb’s try scorer and also fancied Namibia +77 after seeing some of the kiwi passing on Sunday but not as sure on it now. Sunday they started slowly against Argentina and had quite a few dodgy passes and catches on display. Obviously they will thrash Namibia but my thinking was if they start slowly again, there will be a good cash out or cover options available. I don’t know what the phone signal is like in Olympic Park but if it’s anything like at the Emirates then there’s no chance I’ll get anything on in play.

  37. WasClueless 9 years ago

    New Zealand v Namibia

    Two choices for me:
    Cane ATTS 8/11 – scored in the last game and is seen as a potential new McCraw. Also captains the All Blacks tonight

    To score 2+ Tries
    Sonny Bill Williams 15/8. Impressed when replaced Nonu against Argentina and will want to retain his place. More known for his line breaks and offloads that tries in this form of the code. My thinking is he won’t need to offload and will run straight through the Namibians. His focus after this WC is sevens so this is a nice warm up for that future role.

  38. Gunner 9 years ago

    I’m on the fence about the massive handicap. On the 1 hand it’s a massive chance for the fringe players to shine and we all know the AB’s can easily put 80+ on the Namibians but there’ll be a fair amount of tentativeness too. Nobody wants to get injured against Namibia & get ruled out of the Wcup. This is speculation of course but I’ve seen it in the past. I hear there may be a chance of showers too.

    Basically I’m hoping they start slow so that I get better odds and will find something tasty otherwise not worth jumping in with all the indecision.

  39. ADC 9 years ago

    Pauldc, I think there will unlikely be a drop goal scored today. The only slight possibility is if the ref is playing advantage for a penalty and Namibia has a pot at it as they know they will still have the option to kick for goal. It’s hard to imagine any scenario whereby NZ would go for a drop at goal. It’s a tactic used more often when scoring opportunities are harder to come by.

    JohnB I totally respect you as a horses man but some of your comments on this thread are a little off the mark. I think Namibia scoring a try or two in the entire World Cup would be a good achievement but to say they could actually win a game is too much. There is also nothing to suggest that NZ actively encourage their coaches to go abroad and promote their way. Theses coaches are in high demand because they’ve experienced high levels of success due to their experience and technical know how.

    I would also challenge you to name one player in the history of all black rugby who was picked on his character and not rugby playing ability. There is also very little possibility that a talented kiwi who was good enough to wear the all black kit has elected to play for an adopted country instead.

    I can’t imagine that any team at this level would kick for the sheer sake of kicking. Agreed that they are a very reactive side historically but they can take chances a lot too. Due to the fact that their skill levels are so high though it doesn’t look quite as risky as if they were wearing a thistle on their chest!!

    Enjoying the different bet suggestions. I’ve no real confidence in anything but I think the over 12.5 tries could give you a decent run and would be good fun cheering it on as in interest. Couple of shillings for fun.

  40. Harry 9 years ago

    WC great minds! Was just going to suggest sonny bill to score 2+ at 15/8 was a great price. Been one of my favourite players to watch for the last 5 years or so and think this is a great shout I’m on it. Was tempted to just lump on him to score any time at 1/3 but there’s always risk of an early injury

  41. WasClueless 9 years ago

    Harry – yupp top top player and I think 15/8 is great odds as well … just hope Sonny Bill Williams remembers he is playing rugby and not boxing tonight – a man of many talents. Enjoy the match!!

    Afternoon Guys St Helens v Warrington Wolves

    The final round of matches this weekend and it couldn’t be closer, anyone of the four sides remaining can top the table. This as been a fantastic Super 8s.

    Saints by my maths will need Castleford to beat Wigan tomorrow, Huddersfield to beat Leeds, and the Saints will need to go 60pts better than the Giants win. In reality they are playing to get second and a home semi final.

    St Helens are without the injured Travis Burns and man of steel nominee Alex Walmsley. The Wolves have several players playing their last game for the club, the likes of Joel Monaghan, Richie Myler, Roy Asostasi and Gareth O’Brien. The Wolves are getting a 10pt start on the handicap. They don’t have anything to play for apart from pride and this being a local derby.

    I cant call the handicap market with total confidence, if Wolves score first it then becomes a 14 or 16pt start, and the Saints faithful will become edgy. On the opposite side of the ball if Saints get on a roll, they could steam roll the Wolves and we may see what we have seen so far in this Super 8s form Warrington, a hammering. They have been inconsistent in these playoffs beating Catalans 48-6 and Hull 48-16, but losing 48-10 against the Giants 49-10 against Leeds and being held pointless against Wigan.

    I do think Saints in what could be their last home game of the season depending on what happens tomorrow continue to build momentum and look to pile the pressure on Leeds, Huddersfield and Wigan. Saints have won all three meetings with the Wolves this season. I am taking Saints O5.5 tries at 11/10 Coral, Paddy Power.

    In the try scorer market, I am going to take a Wolves player as I am on the Saints team tries. I wouldn’t put anyone off Adam Swift or Tommy Makinson for Saints thou. I am taking Joel Monaghan who was sensationally told he wont be seeing out the final year of his contract, as the Wolves rebuild for next season. Monaghan is a fans favourite with 144 tries in 144 games for the club. He scored a hat-trick last week and can mark his last game for Warrington with a try at 11/10 Betway.

    SAINTS O5.5 TRIES 11/10
    MONAGHAN TO SCORE 11/10

    Good luck if your having a bet

    Any thoughts on under 93.5 points in play?

  56. Jordan 9 years ago

    Chief just seen the ridiculously low total for Cousins. 220.5!? Ok, he’s no franchise QB but he can sling it. Against a defense that has given up 700+ in two games? Plus Romo would have been over 400 if they hadn’t turned the ball over so much.

    I know we are both on Reed but Bwin have him @ 9/5 for an Anytime TD.

    Decent value out there tonight.

  57. Jordan 9 years ago

    Snurkz thought it was a bit low but I’m already on the Reed receiving yards.

  58. Snurkz 9 years ago

    Nfl tonight , and with Giants sleeping in the 4th twice I’ll be on Washington to score last at 10/11

    Thanks for pointing out Cousins @220.5 passing yards Jordan looks a real money maker . @20/23

  59. Harry 9 years ago

    Pretty underwhelming display from the world champs. Thankfully Barrett scored at evens and also had a very easy winner with Namibia +77. SBW to score 2+ didn’t get off the mark at 15/8 but still a successful night and an experience

    Nfl Thursday

    Well last Thursday started off so well then Sunday was a disaster and Monday has been blocked from my mind forever. One bright light from Sunday was fancying Washington against st Louis as St Louis were coming off an emotional win and Washington seem be more functional with cousins under centre. What was really impressive about Washington last week was how well they ran the ball with Matt Jones who scored twice and ran over 120 yards against a good well perceived good front st louis 7 so that’s my first bet 7/4 anytime. In terms of the spread I’d take Washington with the start, new York have been unlucky both games but they couldn’t run last week putting lot of pressure on Eli tonight, he needs to have one of those 340 yards nights tonight unless he enjoys seeing his backs falling around his feet. Also despite being unlucky to be 0-2 new York did lose to atlanta who are not good away from home and lost to Dallas despite Dallas seemingly throwing picks and dropping ball for fun, where they unlucky or just s***e…..you decide

    Bets matt Jones anytime 7/4 at paddy

    Washington + 3.5 9/10 at betfair

    Danny I thought you might have mate. Good choice, but I hope you understand about me wanting you to lose Monday :)

    I’m fairly confident and the chief has also said he’ll be on Reed too mate. Whether its the yards like me or a TD I don’t know so you might wanna wait. If you ask nicely the chief might tell you now :)

    Lee on the skins too :)

  63. Jordan 9 years ago

    Hahaha the Tomahawk Chop almost made me pick the Chiefs on its own!

  64. Jordan 9 years ago

    I’m going to say just sh*te Lee :) Eli throwing the ball out the back of the end zone on 3rd and goal with less than two minutes on the clock and no time outs for Dallas?

    C’MON MAN!

    However I do have Odell in my fantasy so hope he puts up a bit of a fight.

  65. Danny T 9 years ago

    Jordan yeah I understand the wanting them to lose lol. I did look at all the teams but in the end the tomahawk chop made the difference I want it as my ringtone haha. Ok so I guess it’s yards or touchdown I need to weigh up then hmmm

  66. Jordan 9 years ago

    Danny I pretty much summed up my reason for the yards mate but the TD is a good price. Giants didn’t give one up last week (at home) but 3 to the Cowboys Tight Ends in week 1 (away). Tough one mate.

  67. AJ the 2nd 9 years ago

    Coral only have Jordan reed receiving yards at over 70.5 @20/23 the f**k

  68. Danny T 9 years ago

    Yeah just doing some digging says he has only got 4 touchdowns in his career not sure how accurate that is so I think I will join you on yards mate

      MLB Bets For Tonight

      Double @ 3.2/1 (£6) WON
      LA Dodgers -1.5 (Win 6-3)
      Texas Rangers -1.5 (Win 8-1)

      6 Fold still going with 2 winning so far

  69. Jordan 9 years ago

    That is accurate mate but he’s had his injury problems. Never had a full season, biggest season was 499 yards from 45 receptions, already has 145 from 13 this season. He is the top of the depth chart at Tight End which I don’t think he was last season. Like the chief said he’s Cousins safety blanket.

    AJ it pays to shop around mate. Think Bwin was the next best @ 60.5 @ 1.85.

  70. Jordan 9 years ago

    I’ll have my brew when its about to kick off otherwise I’ll be asleep by HT :)

  71. Danny T 9 years ago

    Jordan fingers crossed then mate looking like its gonna be another late night kick off an hour away best get a brew down me :-)

  72. AJ the 2nd 9 years ago

    Just got a few bob in my coral account I wanted to slap on before I deposit bad day on the footie so getting a coffee and having a late night on the NFL I’m on reed touchdown 6/4, throwing yards you mentioned, Redskins +3.0 and was looking at receiving yards but 70 yards? What you reckon? If they all come in happy days lol

  73. Attila 9 years ago

    Jordan mate I’m on your Reed +59.5 yards tip. My bookie has the same yards which seems very low based on his first 2 games average as you described so let’s hope the trend continues! Cheers

  74. winnerallright 9 years ago

    Redskins v Giants,
    The giants cant keep having a 4th qtr meltdown, Can they!!!!
    Tonight i reckon they’ll finally get a win & by more than a TD too… They dont have a Julio Jones or Dez Bryant to worry about 2nite. 2 bets for me in this game. Going for Giants to win -6.5pts @ 13|8 and also Shane Vereen Anytime TD scorer at 21|10. Manning uses him a lot if beckham is double or triple covered!!!! Gudluck everyone

  75. Jordan 9 years ago

    AJ the trouble with taking the 70 is that these props can be won or lost by inches. I’ve lost plenty of props by 1 or 2 yards. Its not for me to say yes when I’m on the 59.5 mate. You know what I mean?

    Good luck Attila mate.

  76. AJ the 2nd 9 years ago

    Yes mate no worrys think il leave it

  77. Jordan 9 years ago

    WA he better not use Vereen I’ve benched him this week :)

  78. Jordan 9 years ago

    Primetime talking sh*t. Only one guy to throw it too on the skins offense. Hope Reed has heard that :)

  79. winnerallright 9 years ago

    Jordan im a Patriots fan all my life & i was a big fan of shane vereen. His dual threat is always dangerous. if only grumpy Bill gave him more of a chance!!! ha ha. i hope he has a stormer 2nite… ha ha. im sure u have a good alternative in ur team this week so u wont mind him scoring a TD for me,,, :-)

  80. Jordan 9 years ago

    Yeah, Odell Beckham haha, accompanied by Antonio Brown and Tom Brady ;) Good luck WA mate

    NFL Bets

    REED O59.5yds 5/6 ( Paddy Power)
    WASHINGTON O2.5pts 10/11 (Bet365)

    Anytime Scorer

    JONES TO SCORE 6/4 (888sports)

    My phone ran out of Juice, so the reasoning behind these bets have been lost :(

  82. Jordan 9 years ago

    Well that was a crazy opening! At least Reed is off the mark!

  83. thechief 9 years ago

    Redskins @ Giants reasonings

    Giants are good against the run, but have given up 700yds through the air in two games. Opposing TE have 145yds and 3 TDs. Washington to win will use their one – two punch to wear down the Giants front 7, and Reed over the middle could be in for a nice game.

    Giants have gave up 25pts per game so far and I wouldn’t be surprised if the Skins nick this on the road. Cousins hasn’t thrown for more than 31 times this season and if they can keep him throwing between 25-35 times then they can control the clock. Morris and Jones are capable of getting yards on the ground. O20.5pts is 10/11 Bet365.

    In the anytime scorer market, Jordan Reed is a mis-match in the redzone going against a LB or a safety and any yards he gets will help my prop. I am going for Matt Jones, who had 146yds and 2tds last week against the rams. He was drafted by this regime and I think he becomes the lead back during the season. He can also catch the ball out the backfield so I am taking him at 6/4 at 888sport.

    Eli told Jennings not to score twice in week one against Dallas, to run the clock down. He didn’t realise that they had 2 timeouts, that is unbelievable. Romo marched them down the field and won. If the Skins are in within a score in the last five minutes, the tension will be immense in the stadium.

    NFL fans will remember Mojo doing something similar against the Jets. They were letting him score so they could get the ball back and he went through and took a knee at the 1yd line. If you haven’t seen it or are new to the game check it out on youtube. He took a lot of stick from fantasy football owners :) I think Brian Westbrook did something similar a few years before him.

  84. Danny T 9 years ago

    Jordan how to you track the yards mate ? Is it on a website or something ?

  85. Jordan 9 years ago
  86. thechief 9 years ago

    Rugby Result St Helens 16-32 Warrington Wolves

    SAINTS O5.5 TRIES 11/10 LOST
    MONAGHAN TO SCORE 11/10 WON

  87. Danny T 9 years ago

    Cheers mate that’s a good site

  88. Jordan 9 years ago

    Yeah its the official site mate.

    Chief have seen that Jones Drew kneel. Class haha

  89. Danny T 9 years ago

    Giants are playing very well . They won’t give the redskins anytime at all before they are right in there faces

  90. Jordan 9 years ago

    Danny this is a good thing for the Reed yards mate. If the Giants go up 16-0 the Redskins will be forced to throw the ball more. Takes away their running game as it takes more time to get up the field and you’re not likely to get as many yards in one play.

  91. Danny T 9 years ago

    That’s interesting I didn’t know that . It’s not been a bad game so far

  92. Danny T 9 years ago

    That was close

  93. Jordan 9 years ago

    Oooooh so close to a 26 yard gain there!

  94. thechief 9 years ago

    Yeah it was mate, bad throw by Cousins, he should have thrown it in front of Reed let him run on to it, easy touchdown.

  95. Jordan 9 years ago

    Can’t stand Tom Coughlins sour face. He’s like a grumpy grandpa! Always looks p*ssed off hahaha

  96. Jordan 9 years ago

    Yeah under threw it big time chief. Reed had the step on him too.

  97. Danny T 9 years ago

    Twice now where a better pass would have given reed a touchdown and some yards

  98. Jordan 9 years ago

    Under thrown him again! Plant those feet Kirk that was an easy 19 yard TD!

  99. thechief 9 years ago

    Anyone for Teabow :D Cousins is killing my props

  100. Jordan 9 years ago

    Oh ffs Kirk! You were just getting into rhythm with our man! 5 yards needed!

  101. Danny T 9 years ago

    Jordan I was thinking exactly the sam one more decent pass and it would be done . Let’s hope for a quick interception . Can I ask why do the redskins keep trying Jones through the middle it’s like he alsways loses a yard I have t seen him get through once yet lol

  102. Jordan 9 years ago

    Just their game plan mate. Keeps the defense guessing. Gotta start passing now anyway.

  103. Jordan 9 years ago

    Chief I thought we weren’t allowed to mention the big T :)

  104. Danny T 9 years ago

    Yes nice one Jordan cheers mate

  105. Jordan 9 years ago

    Don’t think the Giants are blowing this one! At least Beckham has put some good fantasy numbers up for me. Come on Reed 5 yards. Surely…

  106. Jordan 9 years ago

    :D 70 yards!

  107. thechief 9 years ago

    I’d take big T making those throws in the first half mate.

  108. Jordan 9 years ago

    Agree with you there mate.

  109. thechief 9 years ago

    Reed prop landed on only 5 catches :D unless he starts running backwards!

  110. Jordan 9 years ago

    Chief he should have 39 more from another 2 but we won’t go there again! Should be home and dry. Wonder how long in the season before we see RGIII.

  111. Jordan 9 years ago

    Oooooh feel for you there chief!

  112. thechief 9 years ago

    Matt Jones fumbling going into the end zone, are you kidding me? you get my biggest C’mon Man of the season.

  113. BigB 9 years ago

    Well done Jordan and The Chief on the Jordan call, didn’t get on it myself, but had a under 44.5 bet on in-play… Think the fumble may have saved my bacon there. Hopefully!

  114. Jordan 9 years ago

    Haha think Frank Gore has earned my biggest C’*** M** from that fumble the other night!

  115. Jordan 9 years ago

    Ta BigB. Bout time I had a winner again.

  116. BigB 9 years ago

    It’s always good to have a winner that you don’t even have to sweat about! Not sure if I can let myself go to bed yet with my under still in the balance :3

  117. Grintler 9 years ago

    This is one of the most frustrating sweats I’m ever having.

    I’m on Cousins over 220.5 and Reed over 70.5

    No further comment needed

  118. BigB 9 years ago

    Oh dear haha now i can sleep…

  119. Danny T 9 years ago

    Wow

  120. Attila 9 years ago

    Great shout Jordan!!! You were right to go on performance markets and not the win market…was too much of a 50/50 call on match winner. Great stuff, Reed breezed it in :-D

  121. Jordan 9 years ago

    Hahaha stroke of luck chief on the points!! Well done bud!

  122. Jordan 9 years ago

    Cheers Attila glad I went for it now. Both thoughts would have came in. Reed rec yards and Cousins pass yards.

  123. Jordan 9 years ago

    Tempted to get on the Redskins spread here hahaha, 2 minute warning!

  124. thechief 9 years ago

    What a play, brings both my prop bets up, which as I say are always my best bets, this early in the season. A fumbled walk in touchdown looks like ruining a full house but hey ho its only week 3 :)

    REED O59.5yds 5/6 ( Paddy Power)
    WASHINGTON O20.5pts 10/11 (Bet365)

    WON :D

  125. thechief 9 years ago

    After Jones fumbled, the gambling Gods were smiling down on me mate. Big Blue aint going to blow this again are they? NYG winning till 2mins in the 4th – Skins win. haha

    night all

  126. Jordan 9 years ago

    That’s how crazy it gets Danny when teams try and go for it mate. Should be a good game on Monday night :)

  127. Danny T 9 years ago

    That’s was a great game well the 4th quarter was awesome

  128. Jordan 9 years ago

    My comments are p*ssing me off, reply to a comment but apparently I’m typing two minutes before the comment I’m replying too? I don’t even own a DeLorean!?

  129. Danny T 9 years ago

    Great Scott Jordan ;-)

  130. Jordan 9 years ago

    Hahaha night buddy!

  131. Danny T 9 years ago
