Nine.com - My, how a week can change things.
A week after the favorites dominated, the underdogs had their way. They
covered nine of Sunday?s games and won five games outright.
The Jets, Bengals, Packers, Broncos and Rams all won their games and padded
the wallets of dog players across the board. But the trick is not in just
playing these dogs, it is in checking out the money lines for value.
Green Bay was +240 on the money line, paying as much as a two-team
parlay. Wanna see something that will really sting you if you didn?t play the
dogs? A five-team parlay with the aforementioned teams would have paid
$2045...ON A TEN DOLLAR TICKET! That is one helluva investment.
When Brett Favre is on his game, the Packers are always a decent bet. No
player has as big an alpha dog mantra as Favre. When people get on his case,
he does everything in his power to put a game completely on his shoulders. So
in circumstances when the Pack are getting a touchdown from a team as bad as
Detroit, it is definitely worth an investment.
Take the Rams for example, a team that shut down the Broncos? high-powered
offense two weeks ago. Why would they have any problems with a Cardinals team
that is getting way too much credit? Sure, St. Louis lost to the 49ers last
week, but that was even more reason to jump on the Rams. No team wants to lose
two divisional games in a row. The Rams get the Lions and Packers next and
could be one of the biggest 4-1 surprises in football!
An early dog this week is the Vikings. They are getting a point from the
Bills, who just lost as six-point home favorites. In Buffalo or not, why would
anybody lay a point with the Bills. Don?t take the point, take the +135 you
are likely to get on the Vikings and run with it. The key to making money in
football is finding the right spots, and money lines are always worth a look.
Dog Money lines are a good bet in many circumstances. Many recreational
players are not familiar with the advantages of betting money lines;
especially dog money lines. Instead, they prefer to simply take the points,
believing that this advantage will help them win more games and more money.
Placing wagers on dog money lines can pay off quite handily with very little
risk to the player if the line is not that high. Dogs will win, the trick is
finding the right matchups, and when you do, you can clean up easily.
The topping on the cake came on Monday night, when the underdog Saints beat
favored Atlanta outright. That meant that you could have had yourself a
wining, six-team dog parlay and laughed all the way to the bank.
