Friday Tips and update

How bad are these bets going!! NFL Pre Season is a joke, might as well be playing tattslotto. Adding a bet on Cincinnati under 8 runs @ $1.83 for $80

Had to laugh at initial NFL bet under 33 pts game total and score was 21-14 at qtr time after mistakes galore. Texas getting smashed by the worst team in MLB so looks like one of those days plus my best bet at the trots has been scratched

MLB

9.05am Texas v Baltimore
$80 Texas - 1.5 @ $1.83

Good side Texas and like the pitching match up here as despite the Texas starter (Colby Lewis) going 0-4 in recent starts he has only an ERA of .276 in that period and its purely lack of run support that has cost him. Should get that here against the Orioles who start Brian Matusz (4-12, 5.28) who would prefer to forget his two starts against Texas this year. He's 0-1 with an 18.56 ERA in those outings, lasting a total of 5 1/3 innings

12.10pm Colorado v LA Dodgers
$50 LA Dodgers - 1.5 @ 2.44

Bit of a value play hence the smaller bet, Dodgers pitcher Ted Lilly has been exceptional in his 3 starts for LA since transferring from the Cubs and there is also a good chance that Colorado will be without their star outfielder Carlos Gonzalez who leads the team in Batting Average, RBIs, Hits and Home Runs so will be very hard to cover him if not playing. Despite LA being terrible at times when batting this year I am still prepared to have a bet on them here

NFL

9.30am Indianapolis v Buffalo
$30 under 33 pts @ $1.90

These 2 teams actually gave up the 2 highest scores against in week 1 of pre season play (42 and 37) yet I am going under 33??? Pretty simple, defence will be very high on the agenda after last week and as Indi only played Tuesday morning don't expect to see much at all of Peyton Manning and they are pretty bare on the QB front after him

10.00am New England v Atlanta
$30 over 37 pts @ $1.90 and
$30 Atlanta - 2.5 @ $1.91

My pick for the Superbowl Atlanta and had a decent bet on them to win over 9.5 games which is another story. Expect to see heaps more of star young QB Matt Ryan tonight after very limited game time last week which should get the scoreboard ticking over especially against a very inexperienced Pats defence (which also explains the bet on Falcons giving 2.5 start)
