Tonight is the matchup between the 1-2 Eagles @ the 3-0 Packers. If you look at records against the spread (ATS) the Eagles are 0-3 whilst the Packers are 3-0. This resonates in Joe Public's mind. They remember who they won and lost on in past weeks.

The Eagles could have won both games they lost and I think the Pack is a bit overrated but will be getting all the love. The game opened Packers -3.5 and the public drove it up to 4.5 at which point I took Eagles +4.5 and on the moneyline at +180. The market is sitting at 4 at most places but you can probably still find some 4.5's out there.


Not a lock by any means but I think +ev long term.

good luck!

I like the Eagles also, but I am kicking myself for not getting the +5.5 that was available earlier.

I only drink Krystal and eat caviar. For you I will settle for chicken McNuggets and a large fry.

Surprisingly, I arm very unemotional about football games even when I have a bet on them. I don't bet enough to get that vested. Don't get me wrong, I am definitely rooting for my bet but rarely express more than a "Yes" or a "No" when something happens.

Sounds like there is no point in betting them then. I only bet if I have enough vested where either outcome makes me feel it. Not talking life changing type money but not going to put 10 on a game where I couldn't care less

I am happy if I think I have a 2% advantage so I still expect to lose 48% of the time. Hard to get excited when you know you will lose almost half of the time.

That’s why you should bet 10-leg parlays with long odds. You’ll lose more often thus be less excited.
