Playoff Best Bets

We are three hours away from playoff season kicking off and I have returned to share my picks for the wild card round.


SAINTS -10 at Seahawks

The Seahawks have the home field but that is about it. 10 points is a lot to give but at worst I feel you get a push here. The line was at 10.5 at one time, that half point is a huge difference. Hasselbeck is getting the start for the Seahawks but how effective he will be is a huge question mark. Saints should roll in this one.

JETS +2 at Colts

I have been going against the Jets all season long and with their inflated point spreads I have made a good bit of money at the Jets expense. This time I need to go with the Jets though. Both teams have their issues but the Colts really have issues. The Colts are not a very talented team. It is a testament to Peyton Manning that the Colts are even in the playoffs. Take Manning out and the Colts are even less talented than the Seahawks. It is not a very good team but they do have Manning and he can do wonders. It isnt a lock, but in this instance you take the more talented team

PACKERS +2.5 at Eagles

I have been back and forth about this pick but it comes down to this, I don't think Vick is close to 100% and without his legs the Eagles offense is going to struggle. Look for a lot of corner blitzes from Charles Woodson and for the Packers to disrupt Vick and Eagles just enough to pull off the upset.

CHIEFS +3 vs Ravens

I am only taking one home team and that is the Chiefs. I have had this gut feeling all week that the Chiefs were going to ind a way to pull the upset. Bottom line is this is going to be a very tight game and I can see it coming down to a FG either way, so when that is the case you take the three points and the home team. The Ravens offense has really been inconsistent and lack an identity. This should be a low scoring game with an entertaining ending.


Betting without Gambling

I wanted to share two great websites with you. As many of you know, offshore online sportsbooks have their issues when it comes to Americans. Mainly it is tough to collect winnings because o our anti-gambling laws. I am frustrated more than anyone. However, there are two great sites I want to tell you about that are fun and very very legal.

The first site is called FREE SPORTS BET. It is legal because technically it is not gambling because you never have to deposit money. They give you money to bet with or watching advertisement videos. Now, they dont give you a ton of money, when you open an account they give you 50 cents...yes you heard me 50 cents...if you lose all of that money betting, they replenish it for you after you watch another advertisement video. The best part is if you ever reach $100 in your account you are eligible to withdraw it as real cash. Once again, this is legal because you are never gambling with your money. As I mentioned, most new account start you off with 50 cents but if you click on this DISCOUNT LINK and sign up you will get $1.00 to start you off. The site also has contests you can enter and the feature I like the best is you can track your overall betting stats. Tons of fun

Another very legal and very fun site dedicated to sports gambling is a Handicapper Watchdog site. It also tracks all your stats and even better if you have a paypal account and build up a good enough record you can offer your picks for sale. Once again, very legal way to make some extra money by selling your picks. The best part is the site handles it all for you, you simply put your paypal info in, make your picks and if your record is good enough you will have people looking to buy your picks before the big games. Here is the special LINK to maybe start your new handicapping career

Best of luck guys!
