Be smart and take the Ravens and the points

My problem with this is, I'm not sure if you're on team "Fade dcrews" or team "I don't know who dcrews is"

Either way I took Ravens +4.5 (-107) and Ravens ML (+190)

"Fade dcrews"

I stopped participating in the CFB bet threads; did this stay a thing or did you get it turned around?

I wound up nearly breaking even, and cut my losses there. Stopped around the middle of the season.

I know where I went wrong this year and I'm pretty excited about going into next year with some betting experience under my belt.

I was leaning Ravens as well. My book has them at +4 (+105)

5 dimes had that line at +100 and right before I took it, it bumped to +4.5

Kap gonna have to have a HUGE game for them to win imo..

but shite to 4.5 and lets roll my man

So you'd suggest buying the hook

What.. He fade city or sumn?

If you are just tailing someone then okay but if that is your own original creative pick God help the Ravens

Eh, little bit of both I guess. I want Frisco to win, but if I've learned anything over the past several months, I should NEVER bet teams and should ALWAYS bet numbers.

With the information out there, I like getting 4.5 points with the 1st or 2nd best team in football. Seeing some of the plays here from posters who have been betting for while simply was that extra push I needed to pull the trigger on the play I was teetering on.

See the below stats for a study done compiling data from over 17 years and 4000 games. I like being on the ride side of the 3 and 4. Especially with two "grind it out, defensively tough teams" (one of which has a field goal kicker that is in a slump)

To nobody's surprise, 3 was the most common margin to the tune of 15.1%. It's no surprise that 7 was the second most common margin, as this is how many points a team is awarded for a touchdown plus extra point, but what was a surprise to us is that it comes in more than two times less than the 3, to the tune of 7.1%. What do you think the next most common margin is? I'd have guessed 4, which is close, but no cigar. The third most common margin was "6," which is somewhat of a surprise. A six point margin happened six percent of the time. The other two key numbers of note are 10 and 4 which came in at 5.9 and 5.8% respectively.
