YTD : 5-4 +3.3 units

balt -13 for a five unit play

I'm going to grab the -13 before it is forever gone and make a large play on the Ravens.

I would like to credit Kneifl for a quick spot on observation about this game :

"I like what the Ravens have shown me so far this season while the Brownies have just been pathetic. This line is inflated for a reason with a low total. It's because the Ravens are going to score all of the points in this game."

Senor capper added some strong supporting trends relating to this game :

"Ravens won and covered handily in both meetings vs. the Brownies last season, are now a sparkling 16-5 vs. the line since HC John Harbaugh arrived a
year ago, including a 7-2 mark as host.
Ravens are 13-4 ATS in Sept as a Home Favorite.
Harbaugh is 8-1 ATS as a Favorite"

Thanks to the above for bringing that solid info to the forum.

Now the latest news from the Browns camp from the beacon Journals on line site: ohio.com and it is not good news at all for the Browns.

"POSTED: 09:16 p.m. EDT, Sep 23, 2009

BEREA: Browns veteran running back Jamal Lewis did not practice with the team Wednesday, and was later listed on the injury report with a hamstring injury.
Before practice, he strolled through the locker room wearing a gray Browns' sweatshirt while his teammates got dressed in preparation for practice.
Running back James Davis, who was inactive last week after suffering a shoulder injury in the opener against the Minnesota Vikings, participated in Wednesday's practice.
Lewis appeared on the injury report last week after suffering a neck stinger against the Vikings. In the game against the Vikings, he rushed 11 times for 57 yards, averaging 5.2 yards per carry against a defense that has led the league in rush defense the past three seasons.
But last week at the Denver Broncos, Lewis carried the ball 14 times for just 38 yards with a long gain of 12. In the game, the Browns rushed just 21 times for 54 yards."


So it appears that a very impotent Browns offense may be crippled even more come game time. I can not come to any other conclusion than seeing the Ravens winning this one big over a team that is quite possibly the poorest team in the NFL.

I'm going to try something new and play some 7 pt teasers around the Ravens. I like some of the teams I used, but in some games I'm indifferent and only played to reach or exceed some key numbers, I used both sides in the same game if the numbers were right.The odds are stacked at -1.30( 1 unit to win.77) units so I have to go better that 60% to bring home some cheese. I think this can be successful, but it's not something I'd do every day, just looking to put some fun back in the NFL for me.

No doubt, I'm laying some considerable risk out there if Baltimore somehow fails to get it done but I consider that to be a very remote possibility. All plays are for one unit unless otherwise noted.

The first set is copy and paste from wagers I made earlier in the week. Some numbers have moved both for and against me:

Football - 408 Baltimore Ravens -6 for Game
Football - 416 Minnesota Vikings +? for Game ( 3 units)

Football - 408 Baltimore Ravens -6 for Game
Football - 415 San Francisco 49ers +13? Game

Football - 408 Baltimore Ravens -6 for Game
Football - 409 New York Giants/Tampa Bay Buccaneers over 37 for Game

Football - 408 Baltimore Ravens -6 for Game
Football - 409 New York Giants pk for Game

Football - 404 Houston Texans +3? for Game
Football - 408 Baltimore Ravens -6 for Game

Football - 403 Jacksonville Jaguars +10? for Game
Football - 408 Baltimore Ravens -6 for Game

Football - 402 New York Jets +4 for Game
Football - 408 Baltimore Ravens -6 for Game

Football - 401 Tennessee Titans +10 for Game
Football - 408 Baltimore Ravens -6 for Game


Playing the following today, again all keyed around baltimore, but now at -6' :

Football - 408 Baltimore Ravens -6? for Game
Football - 422 Buffalo Bills +13 for Game

Football - 408 Baltimore Ravens -6? for Game
Football - 432 Dallas Cowboys -2 for Game (two units)

Football - 408 Baltimore Ravens -6? for Game
Football - 430 Arizona Cardinals +4 for Game

Football - 408 Baltimore Ravens -6? for Game
Football - 429 Indianapolis Colts +10 for Game

Football - 408 Baltimore Ravens -6? for Game
Football - 425 Pittsburgh Steelers +3? for Game

Football - 408 Baltimore Ravens -6? for Game
Football - 426 Cincinnati Bengals +10? for Game

Football - 408 Baltimore Ravens -6? for Game
Football - 417 Atlanta Falcons +11? for Game(2 units)

You guys could be right as BAL is the more superior team here, but aren't you forgetting this Raven D is no where near what it once was? They are good, but Browns will put some points up today. KC week one put up 20+ on them and I watched their game last week vs Raiders and they are BAD!! Phillip Rivers put up career numbers last week on this D secondary also.....This is just too many points here IMO. GL!!

but Browns will put some points up today.
I just don't see how. Lewis is out, Mack is banged up, Quinn has been sacked nine times in two games, Dawson is out, Fraley is playing guard, one offensive TD, only 3 passing plays over 20 yards, etc.

I hope they surprise me. My liver can't take much more of this crap.

Thats quality imput. The feeling here is that the Browns are just so inept that it won't much come into play. But still, that why I went with mostly teasers today to get it under 7.


With Lewis now confirmed out, and not much threat in the running game, the Ravens can really get after Quinn today. I would suggest that Anderson better to be ready to go and the number three guy should pack along his jock strap with that clip board.

It could be ugly

Cleveland just lost their chance to score when Dawson was ruled out....Actually the best chance will be a Cribbs return.Browns offense is terrible as Quinn looks inept at reading a D and this one should roll over him.I expect 3 picks today.

I didn't even know about Dawson. Hell, this setup looks almost too good to be true. Erock is right, Cribbs will be their biggest threat.

Thanks and good luck to Trollin and Throwin !

Don't forget this is the N.F.L.

Crazier things have happened.....GL with Balty fellas!!

You got that right Hud, thats why I seldom come over here. Today is a large exception to the rule for me. After a college beat I took yeterday, I figured this couldn't be much worse. If Balt looks shaky at the half, you can bet your ass I'll be on the phone.

Well, it all worked out. The teasers went 10-5 + almost exactly 4.0 units and hit 2 of 3 of the increased wagers. It's certainly not the way to fly as a habit but I have to admit it did make the other games more entertaining. The true sign of a degenerate.

Don't laugh, but I'm considering using the Bengals in the same manner but to a lesser extent. Yes, its that bad in Cleveland. In fact several players have filed grievances against the man, the certain myth, and not a legend. Eric Mangenious who will announce his starting QB on tuesday.

There is sure some irony in the fact that Sanchez was drafted with a pick traded from the Browns and the Jets are 3-0 without Mangenious. Coincidence??

For the week 11-5 + 9.00 units
Year to date: 16-9 +12.3 units
