^^
My picks for this dbl header were both wrong. Had The dogs Seattle to win due to them being 3-0 on the season and they didn't win the race of outscoring the Lions. As it was looking like they were making a come back in the last quarter of the game. But fell short.
As for the other match, Dolphins didn't have any offense for the Titans and their star receiver Tyreek was held to just 19 yards. Their quarterback couldn't handle the multiple plays that Tagovailoa ran and looked lost early on.

Yeah my standings dropped in the Pick'em pool tremendously and if I don't have a stellar performance in the next couple of rounds think it will be impossible to recover to atleast get a prize place by the end of the season.

I am really looking forward to this game.  There's a lot of high upside, fantasy relevant players that are just fun to watch (mainly have my eyes on Godwin, Evans, Cousins, Mayfield, Bijan etc. 

I am surprised however that that the Falcons are favored by 1.5pts, at least on my betting sites.  I would just ahve figured that the Bucs would be the team that is favored.  Anyways, should be a really interesting game!

[rdbase]

Thanks @danherbias07 for the injury report for this game. As we all know the closer to the game they usually switch if the players who're on the IR are listed as questionable. So they can end up playing as a game-time decision.

Completely agree with you there @ChiBitCTy this game should be a really interesting to watch. All because both quarterback are performing better than the top one's in the league coming into the season such as Prescott who is the highest player in the NFL last I heard at $60mln.

Here are the odds for both these teams for tonight's TNF match:

https://sportsbet.io/sports/event/american-football/usa/nfl/atlanta-falcons-v-tampa-bay-buccaneers-66f31b550d6af000010275f9

And as ChiBitCTy had said in the previous post, not sure why the Dirty Birds are favored here.
Baker Mayfield had been making a leadway in the season so far and can not be waved off as washed up any longer.
But Kurt Cousins have amazed Falcons fans as always with those last minute drives that end up in the endzone.

This one should be one of those matches that could end up in OT.
Who knows.

That injury report is kind of handy indeed and the Buccaneers with many injuries could lose to the Falcons in this match but I am still looking for some things that the Buccaneers could pull through this, I am still new to this NFL just intrigued with what it is for me with this kind of sports

And just like you I am also looking for other predictions and mostly Falcons will win this game so this could be the 2nd loss for the Buccaneers because of those injuries you have mentioned this is a game today so maybe I will make a bet for this one I am really interested in how the real game could actually look like because back then I am just playing this in a game if you guys know the John Maden Football that is the 1st time I came across this sports

Looking at it aswell It really sparks my interest in making my bet maybe next game, or maybe I will chase to bet for the Buccaneer VS Falcon game, as Falcon seems to peek at interest in winning that game but yeah that odds peak interest aswell so thanks to both of you handing over that information in making the bet not easy but more of a light thing to do to make a bet and to make a decision in who to pick and this is my 1st time posting and looking at the latest NFL team so I am still scratching through the surface.

The Falcons got another comeback win after a costly turnover in the fourth quarter. That loss somewhat stings as I had a live bet on the Bucs and their handicap for the pickem.

It sucks that everything went wrong after getting that big interception. Their offense got pushed back out of field position and the Falcons had enough time to secure OT through a field goal and they eased through the Bucs' defense in OT for the game winning TD.

And it did!
Both quarterbacks were pretty level going into this one but Cousins has that record of comeback from behinds wins.
So you just knew he would be a factor if it was within a field goal.

The kicker Koo missed a field goal earlier in the game then the Buccs got fouled so he got to retake it and missed it again.
If he missed that last one to bring it to OT they might of been looking to cut him.

Another early game today being played in London with the Vikings vs the Jets.
From the looks of it the Vikings will be going 5-0 with a victory over Rodgers and his Jets who are in a spiral. They are in the middle of the 3rd quarter 17-10 for the Viks.

In some news that was announced was Christian Mccaffrey will not be in for the 49ers when they face off against the Cards later on today.

https://sportsbet.io/sports/american-football/matches/today

The last match between Dallas and Pittsburgh is the one I am looking forward too.

[xLays]

Is anyone watching the Ravens vs. Bengals game here? Good thing Justin Tucker drilled 56 yard field goal to tie the game. I thought the Ravens were going to lose in overtime, but thankfully the Bengals missed their field goal Evan McPherson missed if I'm not mistaken. If Bengals hadnt miss it the Ravens would have lost. Also Justin Tucker hit the game winning field goal in overtime.

The Jets almost pulled off a late comeback in the fourth quarter after they stopped the Vikings within field goal position, and then the Vikings defense got an interception in the final minute to shut it all down.

The last match between Dallas and Pittsburgh is the one I am looking forward too.

Same, I have a pending bet on the Steelers' handicap, their defense is one of the best right now and the Cowboys barely got away last week against the Giants.

Was watching most of the games within the final 2 minutes of their games and xLays, there were alot of games that were either tied by the end of regulation or within a field goal.

Yeah ralle14, those early games are tough to watch. We have another one next weekend too.
So get your sleep in early.


Tonight's final game today here are the markets for that one:
https://sportsbet.io/sports/event/american-football/usa/nfl/pittsburgh-steelers-v-dallas-cowboys-66fbbd310d6af000015859a7

Going with the Steelers and hopefully the handicap sticks for both of us since I am 10-2 in the pick'em pool.
Currently tied with these final two games left to go.

It was a defensive game with several field goals, but the Steelers' offense wasn't clicking in most of their drives and struggled to convert consecutive first downs.

The Cowboys slipped up a bunch of times with the interceptions and still, the Steelers can't punish them enough to break the game open.

I should've switched to the under instead of believing in the Steelers.

Looking For the Week 5 games in the NFL I really like the 3 teams after looking at those teams I was really interested in them and right now, I am looking for the perfect timing in betting for them when they will have their game and looking at their games in the week 5 they are really great with those games.

Minnesota Vikings VS New York Jets


the Vikings were really dominant in this game the 1st Quarter was pretty much solid for the Vikings while in the 2nd quarter, they had to keep the pace and equal the points even though the Jets got 3 goals in the 3rd quarter the Vikings were really ahead with the goals and it was a one-sided game in my opinion.

Houston Texans VS Buffalo Bills


In this game, the Buffalo Bills were also great in this game even though the Houston Texans got the 1st quarter with 14 goals the Bills managed to get it even in the 3rd quarter with them getting 14 goals but in the end, the Texans managed to secure the win because they have dominated the 2nd quarter for this game and the Bills just managed to equalized the last quarter.

Kansas City Chief VS New Orleans Saints


Pretty much I have never seen any back-to-back action not like in the game with the Houston Texans VS the Buffalo Bills this is a one-sided game from start to finish but still, the Kansas City Chiefs have managed to control the Saints until the game ended.

[rdbase]

It was a good week for most with those results @jakelyson

We have the next game tomorrow with San Francisco 49ers vs Seattle Seahawks.
Where the 49ers are the favorites and I will have to agree with the sportbookies with their odds on this one as it seems that San Fran has righted the ship and are smooth sailing now going into this one.

Here are the markets for this TNF matchup:

https://sportsbet.io/sports/event/american-football/usa/nfl/seattle-seahawks-vs-san-francisco-49-ers-66fc569e0d6af00001b41041

[ralle14]

I have a bet riding on the 49ers first half handicap(-2.5), they somewhat remind me of the Eagles last year when they mostly ran teams over in the first half and slowly struggled to close the game out in the second half.

I somehow forgot to switch my pickem to the 49ers, but I hope it helps me win my bet as I doubt the Seahawks could cover with two points when their defense is more vulnerable after losing against the Giants.

Congratulations bro. You win. That's a nice pick and a great analysis of that vulnerable defense.

Next is the Chicago Bears versus the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 6 of NFL.

Both have 8 injured players.
Looking at the odds, Chicago Bears are the favorite to win this match although it's not that far from the Jaguars' odds. I think I am going for the -2.5 for the Bears but the greediness is calling me to take the -3.5.  
Good luck with your bets everyone.

That was a great win as San Francisco were doing everything right in the first quarter and closed out the first half with holding Seattle to only a field goal.
But once again they were up double digits going into the second half and were scored on twice to lose the lead and the Seahawks coming to within 5 points by the time the 4th quarter began.
This would be the third game in a row where they blew the solid lead and let their opponents back into the game.
Atleast they recovered and scored another touchdown and that runback from their own three yard line to the Seahawks two yard line right at the end of the game to seal it.

When it got close during 4th quarter, I was praying the Seahawks would at least cover for the pickem, but the Seahawks' defense with another letdown.

With how the Bears are starting to accumulate a bunch of wins these past few weeks, both handicaps should be easy for the Bears to cover, I assume they could win by a touchdown or more.

The Bears' solid defense could also be a problem for the Jags' offense because they're good at holding down teams by 20 points or less.

Sunday NFL is in progress for the early match with Jaguars vs Bears in London with a scoreless game so far.

The rest of the schedule looks like this for the normal time schedule for gameday:

https://sportsbet.io/sports/american-football/matches/today

The first match between the Baltimore Raven vs Washington Commanders I see Ravens losing this one even though they are the favorites. Their games have been very hard to watch lately.

Same with the Bengals as I can see the Giants beating them.
It seems both of these teams are having quarterback issues.

I also think the Bengals will come out hungry and win this one after an OT loss from the Ravens. I can't imagine the Giants handing them their fifth loss even though they're impressive in their win last week against the Seahawks.

I'm skipping the handicaps and settle with the bad odds on their moneyline @1.50, better avoid the risk of a back door cover in case they lose steam in the second half.
