Tips for Tikay

Why was that Pats-Bills line so low, wouldn't it normally be 7-10?

Pats were likely to rest a few, despite there being a bye week for them. Bills have a point to prove after last week's defeat against Oakland. Probably the GM's last game and there has been talk of the Head Coach being scouted by a college team (no idea how that works!!!). An element of the Bills players wanting it a bit more.

Ifyou mean why would an NFL coach be open to being scouted by a college team think for some coaches they just prefer the college game.  There is more job security and you dont have to deal with the huge ego's quite so much.  Not sure if Marrone fits that bill as he has only really coached Syracuse who arent a huge college team but a good college job is probably better than the Bills job tbh and the pay is probably similar.

Pardew does not show for the newcastle post match interviews

Pretty short on the machine and a fair bit matched around and under last hour

Can't find next manager out market on BF.

Next Palace, gotcha.

I never seem able to find those next manager markets.

My acca would be in very good shape if it wasn't for the Skins.  Mon Garret get the reserves on.

It's a mixed bag, in that sometimes Betfair won't have a market for them, and they never have the next out on there (unfortunately)

I know the Browns have gone fully into self destruct mode (star receiver suspended again for attending a late night party at backup quarterback Johnny Manziel's house), but fourteen points is a heck of a head start against a divisional rival in the Ravens.

Is this a grit your teeth, hold your nose and bet job?

(rhetorical question) how much is no QB worth to a points spread? 7? more? less?

so what would it have been if the match was a month ago? Baltimore -7?

is connor shaw worse than rolling out manziel on the evidence of the last fortnight?

probably a shut your eyes and don't check the score til the end  job

I'm basically of the view Connor Shaw cannot be more divisive and selfinterested than Manziel...and he'll probably have a QB rating in double figures.

It's made the acca, anyway.

Bills +5.5 4 (thank you paddy!)
Lions +7.5
Jags +8
Browns +14
Bears +7 and
Atlanta to win outright.



Edit: the line on the Bills game is plummeting like mad. Any chance in the next 10 minutes it goes +3?

4/4 so far.

Lions to keep it close and Falcons to win, please.

[Kmac84]

Good luck Tal, Skins inept performance cost me bundles. 

[Marky147]

Good luck, Talwise!


Bad news at Lambeau... Rodgers has further injured his calf, and had to be helped from the field after they scored the last TD.

[Tal]

Rodgers scores.

Morning all...Any strong fancies or opinions out there on today's NFL?

...

Aaron Rodgers is 11/2 with BMU anytime and does at least have a rushing touchdown to his name this season. The Lions will be getting at Rodgers and will have been encouraged by the performance of the Buffalo Bills against him a fortnight ago. He's had a calf injury this week, mind, and whilst that won't keep him out, it's possible thrashing further limits his involvement and his mobility.

...

Frustrating game sometimes!

I backed the Lions, off the back of his injury, and thought I was golden when he got carried off.


Still, it looks like he has just sealed the MVP with this performance.

losers

-£50 Doncaster to beat Peterborough

-£20 Doncaster half-time/full time

-£22.49 Lesean McCoy ante-post top NFL rusher/MVP. He finished 5th behind Demarco Murray in the rushing table

-£20 Matt Ryan ante-post top NFL passer. Going into the last game 4th, with Andrew Luck having been pulled in the early game to present a chance for Ryan to overtake him, Ryan needed c330 yards to hit the top 3. Unfortunately Atlanta stunk it up, especially the offensive line which protected Ryan poorly, and Ryan fell 67 yards short of the top 3

-£20 Bengals the NFL team to concede the least points, ante-post. They finished tenth conceding 344 points behind Seattle, the most frugal defense conceding 255

-£20 Arizona to win the NFC West. The bet was kiboshed by Arizona's quarterback woes, they lost their last 4 games including yesterday to the 49ers while Seattle came on strong at the end fo the season to win the division

ongoing posiitons

in the NFL

The Green Bay Packers (conference and superbowl bet) beat the Detroit Lions 30-20 to secure the number two seeding in the NFC play offs, and a much needed bye week especially for Aaron Rodgers and his calf injury. Seattle have the NFC number one seed and hoem advantage throughout the play-offs and are favourites to go to the superbowl again

After Rodgers was helped off, he came back to the game in the second half and threw for a touchdown, rushed for a touchdown and won the game, probably to secure his MVP award



The Steelers (conference bet) secured the 3rd AFC seeding, now host the Ravens next Sunday in the first round of the play-offs. New England and Denver have bye weeks, and if the Steelers win next week will be underdogs away at either the week after especially if star running back Le'Veon Bell, who injured a knee last night, is missing

Aaron Donald did his chances of NFL Defensive rookie of the year no harm with a sack and forced fumble of Russell Wilson yesterday. We are in a close run thing with Khalil Mack of the Raiders for the award

Kelvin Benjamin of the Panthers finished with 1,008 receiving yards and 9 touchdowns in his rookie season, and it is a measure of how strong this year's rookies are that this won't get him close to offensive rookie of the year. Despite missing four games Odell Beckham finished with 1,305 yards and 12 touchdowns, and is the likely winner
