    Default How should i play the Colts in Week 5?

    Right now they are ML about -190.

    i can also get -2.5 about -145
    -3 - 130
    -3.5 -105

    the total is fairly high for an NFL game at 46 points. so i think which ever team wins, will do so by at least 4 points. this is not a grind it out steelers/ravens matchup here, boys lol

    also the public will pound the colts as the titans are 0-4. so im trying to pound the colts early, expecting the line to move up to about -4 or -4.5. and then hedge with a TENN ML bet right before game time. i am to get TENN ML at about +250. this way i can guarantee a profit

    in general, my strategy is to bet favorites early, and dogs close to gametime. its all about getting the best line/number/odds, etc. for me.

    what do you guys think?

    more points than posts,



    send me some points

    I like Indy in this game, line looks like a trap, but I'll fall for it. Indy is 100% the best team. Tennessee is GARBAGE and Peyton manning is DOING WORK w/ nothing.

    If you are hedging, then go ML Indy, ML Tenn, so no risk.

    If you are a gambler, than go Indy -3.5 for smaller price and bigger hedge number

    Good Luck either way

    yup more posts than points buddy!

    NFL teams RARELY win by 1 or 2 points so i think getting 2.5 over the key number of 3 is best. im not really worried about IND winning by 1 or 2 here. plus it saves me about 50 cents in juice (190 to 145).

    i always lay the points if i can get the favorite for less than 3 points. but if a dog is less than 3 points, i always take ML.

    on a side note, i think a bet such as +2 -110 is the most - EV bet you can make in NFL.

    use tennessee with a 7 point teaser to give you a +10.5

    Well, you won't guarantee a profit by betting Colts -2.5 (or - anything) and Tenn ML. Just because the chances of a one or two point win seem slim, it is not impossible.

    All that aside. -3.5 -105 = -3 -131.4 = -2.5 -159.5 = -195.5 ML

    Seems -2.5 -145 is your best value
