    Come on guys, it's playoffs time. Where my degenerates at?

    I continued my streak yesterday of losing every bet I place on a Texans game. Went with a 2 way parlay. Hit the Texans -4, but missed the over.

    Got a 6 point teaser today covering the lines and o/u for each of Today's games. Colts +13 and under 53, and the Redskins +9 and under 52.

    Seattle and Redskins equal on offense. Difference Seattle great D while Redskins ordinary there.

    Seattle also healthy squad, but poor road record. Washington supposedly banged up.

    Seattle covers easily?

    Home underdogs are like 32 - 20 in the playoffs. Even though I'm writing this the Skins are up 14-3, I would have taken the Skins +3.5 before the game.

    I took Washington -3.5 but had second thoughts. I might get out as it looks to me Seattle are gaining momentum and taking control of the match even though they're down by 11.

    Nice bet win. I'm assuming you meant you took Seattle -3.5. I forgot to take into account that RG3 has looked hobbled for a month without any signs of improvement.

    Lol I'm on that streak too. Going with this two team 6-point teaser this week:

    SEA +8.5
    GB +8.5

    GB only lost once by more than 8 points and Seahawks been playing good all season. Don't see them losing big, if they lose, either.

    I feel pretty good about the Ravens and Texans covering. It's the other 2 games that I keep flip flopping on.

    Got the Ravens covering as well. And if Manning keeps this up, omg won't be covering anymore! C'mon Flacco, more bombs to Smith!

    Ravens to win, bet $10, won $36.
    Ravens to cover +10, bet $24 (bought 0.5 pts), won $20.
    I usually bet $50, but I lost $100 on a couple of Rockets bets and got gun shy. :(

    Current Bets:
    Falcons to win, bet $15 to win $10.95
    Teaser Texans +16.5 and Packers +10, bet $100 to win $66.65

    Thinking about:
    Texans $20 to win Superbowl payout from Superbook is 20 to 1 ($400)

    :mad::mad::mad::mad: more gambling bitterness. I did not foresee the Packers losing by 14.

    Yeah, the Packers screwed up my teaser, even with them at +9.

    Did end up hitting a 1st half parlay in that game, thanks to that FG by Akers to close out the half.

    No idea which way I'm going tomorrow. I promised myself I was done betting on Texans games. Still unsure how I feel about Atlanta. I mean are they really going to choke again? I'm leaning towards Seattle.

    I was thinking about buying 1pt and going $250 on Texans +7.5 1st half. Then I just finished watching NFL Matchup and their game film study. Now I'm not as hopeful anymore. Looks like Schaub is doing a terrible job of safety manipulation and the Texans line cannot prevent penetration.

    I'm thinking ML $250 on Falcons to win. I think Seattle's D is great, but Atlanta's offense has better weapons that can win even when covered. The only thing that really concerns me (other than Ryan laying an egg) is Atlanta's poor showing against the zone read.

    I'm passing on the Texans game. No value on the Pats, too many scenarios for over/under, and who knows what can happen if Schaub can be just decent.

    Chasing losses: Falcons 1st half -1.5 bet $115 to win $100. Go Falcons.
