The Bets: Week 2 Recap and Week 3 Bets

The Doc was right about only one thing in Week 2- that he shouldn't bet on any games. The Doc went a pitiful 6-10 (while The Juice had a nice 10-6 week to win the pool). Luckily he made only one $5 bet, a 6 team teaser at 4:1 odds. The Doc went 5/6, but alas, the Tennessee Titans upset of the Baltimore Ravens ended any hope of a nice pay out.

On to Week 3, where the Doc does see some value:

Spread $5.50 $5.00 Football NFL - Oakland Raiders +4½ -110 for Game
This seems like a perfect 'trap game' for the Jets. They cleaned up on a terrible Jax team last week and now travel west for their first road game. Oakland is at home for the first time and I think they catch the Jets looking ahead to their Sunday night showdown with the Ravens next week. The Raiders rely on the running which negate some of the advantage that the Jets have with Darrell Revis. I like the Raiders to at least keep this one within a Field Goal.

Week: -$5
Season: +$12


Teaser $20.00 $40.00 Football NFL
- New England Patriots -6 for Game
- Pittsburgh Steelers -8 for Game
- San Diego Chargers -12.5 for Game

The only thing you can tell about the NFL so far is who is gonna be really bad and the Colts and Chiefs are gonna be terrible. I like for the Steelers and Chargers to smoke those two teams. For the final game, I took the Pats over the Bills. I like what the Bills are doing, but I think they will get a cold dose of reality this week when they play a real team in the Pats. I ended up buying 3 points so the Pats only need to cover by a TD, the Steelers get below 10 points and the Chargers get below two TDs. At 2:1 odds, I felt so good about this bet that I put $20 on it.

Good Luck this week!
