Added a few more.

Bucks +3.5
Texans +1
Browns +2.5
Bengals +3.5

Had a brilliant Ryder cup so got slightly carried away.

The Browns were robbed in that game last night. How the officials changed the decision is baffling.

6 out of 9 but the Browns should have been a win.

66% puts you up there with the best Vegas pros FM.
My evening was fairly horrific until Saints bailed me, looking to get stuck into the Chiefs tonight...

I've gone Chiefs -3.5

Took the Rams -7, Saints -6.5 and Jags +3.5 on the early lines for week 5.
 
A close call with the Chiefs Ista, but a pleasing result.

Mahomes is looking like an outstanding QB!
 
Chiefs -3.5 and Vikes +7 I feel like I’ve got out of jail this week, still no closer to finding Superbowl opponents though but I guess you have to take the Chiefs seriously with a trio of Mahomes, Hunt and Hill, need some serios upgrades on defence though...

The Jags and Rams are the two teams for me at the moment. If the Jags had a top 10 QB they'd be a frightening team.

But, as always, it will all come down to play off rankings and if Jags can't secure #1 spot and have to travel to a freezing January Foxboro or Arrowhead their job becomes that much tougher, and let's not forget they found a way of getting chinned in Tennessee last week.
Rams I agree are probably the most solid option right now, I'll throw in Saints too who but for a bonehead error would probably have gone to the Superbowl last year and have made some good defensive adjustments after that week 1 Fitzmagic shock...
 
Pats -10 tonight.
Colts are bad enough but throw in a brain dead call by Frank Reich that cost them last weeks game against Houston and you can add poor play calling into their list of issues.
Colts might get some joy stopping the run but Pats don't run on you anyway and giving up 292 yard per game so far (against Andy Dalton, Alex Smith, a rusty Carson Wentz and Deshaun Watson) I fear for what Brady could do to them, and as we know Belicheck rarely takes his foot off the gas.
Interesting the Defence has claimed 17 sacks so far and ranks #2 in the league, they probably blitz too often and there's no better QB in the history of the game to make big plays against the blitz than Brady.
Pats could win by 20+ for me....
 
Same bet for me Ista. Also played a prop on Brady to have most passing yards at 3/4.
 
Not sure if anyone follows college ball but LSU -2.5 seems to be stealing money

Which obviously means Florida will win outright
 
Also something that may interest people

Betway do “free bet upto £20 if final score is a field goal”

Cracking game that HF, have to say I got with Gators in running but a proper old school college match up that.

Few I like tonight:
Panthers -6.5 against a poor Giants outfit
Chargers -5 against an Oakland team who keep finding new ways to lose
Det/GB under 51
Seat/Rams under 50.5
Phil/Min over 46 probably my nap given the horror pass rush and secondary Vikes seem to now have
Carson Wentz over 260 passing yards I like too, but need the Vikes to stay close before Eagles start running clock.
I can't find a fixed odds market for under Barklay rushing yards but I expect Panthers to win well and Manning will be forced to air it out, if that happens Barklay won't get many carries and Panthers are great at stopping the run (330 yards through 4 weeks), Sporting Index do a Barklay player performance that gives 1 point per rush/rec yard and 25 points per TD, selling at 125 looks a solid play to me.

Good luck all

In addition to these I've added Panthers -6.5 and under 51 Packers/Lions.

I'm going to the pub to watch this afternoon's sport so definitely won't be awake to today's later games.

Good luck.
 
I've been pressing unders (53, 52.5, 52 and 51.5) in Denver since midweek, freak snow weather system hitting today with snow through game and temperatures dipping to -10.
Will be playing any unders on passing yards and receiving yards.
I'm also deep into under 48.5 in the London game, pitch designed for football with rain throughout game will cut up, staying upright will be a challenge for these.

A fit Marcus Mariota should be going over the 205/210 passing yard quotes for him, in a game I expect Titans to be chasing he will be forced to air it out, of course Ravens D is solid but 210 is well within his reach.

Also played:
Bears -4 (Vegas 5.5/6 at 2pm UK time, UK books not reacted yet)
Falcs -3
Colts + 3
Over 44 Skins/Panthers
Over 41.5 Bears/Fins
Over 50 Bungals/Steelers

Good luck all

Nice one Ista, I followed you in on the bad weather double, nice angle that!
 
As a man on the rams -4.5 as a teaser I’m not best pleased with that final drive defence although it is to be expected
 
Things couldn't have gone worse with my punting the last couple of weeks so I'm taking a break from things. I'll be back in November.
