$300 49ers (Meh. Who knows. Frankly, I like none of the other games)
$200 Patriots (Not even this game. But considering it's at Foxboro, take the fave)
$100 Pats/Dolphins OVER (28-20 is the score...I'm really just guessing here)

As said, many thanks Easy. You're the man.

My picks
 

$1000 bet Steelers over
$1000 bet Giants
$1000 bet Steelers
$1000 bet Seahawks over

(I need to make up some ground! [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] )

If the Steelers were playing a better team, or if their game was an afternoon one, I might not pick them.

I originally took the Giants line, then switched to the over, but went back to the Giants. The Raiders haven't been playing well against better teams, not enough to keep it within 10

The Seahawks have been over the total 9-5-1 on the season, so I'll make the same trend bet I made on the Bears last week ( a bet which worked out so well [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] )

I thought about the Rams/Cowboys game, but the tenor of that game is so dependent on the previous results that making any wager on this late game makes no sense before the early evening.

First, who in the gambling community uses Paypal, when you can't use it for online sites?

Second, it would damage the pristine integrity of the "3+1 Challenge" if I were to accept fee money for my noble, sacrificial, incredibly arduous efforts.


[i] Bribes to influence action, however, are a different manner [img]/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img] since they're covered by the official rules. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

To achieve not losing money.

Here\'s an estimate
 

Figure average bet is $250, average loss is $275. You're 31-31-2, so you're down around $775.

For you to break even for the year, you need to win $800 this week.
