NFL: Chicago Bears @ Green Bay Packers

With the Falcons winning Bears have nothing to play for now where as Green Bay do. I think that Chicago will not compete very hard and may pull their players out of the game early.

Was tempted by the handicap GB -4.5 @ 1.34 but I'll just go with the outright I think

Taken 1.16 on Green Bay Packers.

Well we're into the 2nd Quarter and still no score. Pretty uneventful so far though I do have an eye on the darts at the same time!

First blood to Chicago! AT least some good defence on the goal line kept to a field goal 3-0.

Come on Packers let's get this going then!

Well 3-0 at halftime is certainly not what I expected!!

Great stop there! Now come on Bears play fair and protect yourselves for the post season!

FFS Interception! Bears have it at GB 15!! (10:33 in 3rd) SWITCH!!!! @2.42

Jeez Interception by Green Bay! Have the ball on own 20!

Packers can't get a 1st down so have to punt. Bears have it on own 24 (7:07 left in 3rd)

Bears can't do anything either and punt. 41 yard return from Green Baty gives them 1st down at Chicago 44 yd line (6:05 left in 3rd). C'mon Defence!!

GREAT DEFENCE BEARS!!! held to a Field Goal from 1st down on 1 yard line!! 3-3. (2.39 left in 3rd)

Pfff Cutler sacked twice!! He should have been withdrawn from the game before I switched to protect him! GB have it on own 25 (0:32 left in 3rd)

Touchdown Green Bay Packers! Looks like the switch is really biting this match. Nevermind still time for a Bears comeback lol!

Bears have to punt so Packers start again from own 46 (11:46 left in 4th)

Looks like we're back to the 1st half pattern! Packers forced to punt. Bears start on own 3 (9:53 left in 4th)
Come on Cutler let's have a TD pass on this drive!

Cutler sacked twice AGAIN!!! Bears punt to their 46 (7:02 left in 4th)

I feel a bit like it's....


Whoa there fat lady!! The Packers punt again. Bears start on own 2 yd line (4:49 left in 4th) 98 yard drive please Bears!

Woohoo 2 consecutive 1st downs! Still on own 31 though! lol

2 Minute Warning! Bears have 2nd and 4 on own 37 ... Come on Bears Tochdown drive please!

Now 2nd and 10 on GB 48 (1:07 left)
3rd and10 (0:51 left) Oh dear!
1st and 10 on 32!!!
2nd and 10 (0:26 left)

Interception :-( And that's the ball game!

Green Bay Packers Win 10-3
Loss: £386.18

(And it even covered the -4.5 I tipped earlier LOL)

NFL: Tampa Bay Buccaneers @ New Orleans Saints

Final weekend of the regular season and I have chosen this one as Saints still have an outside chance of clinching home advantage for the play offs. I know it will take a miracle for Panthers to get anything at Falcons but you never know. Saints have picked up some nice momentum over recent weeks and rather than rest players I feel they would be better served trying to keep that going! Let's hope Sean Payton thinks the same!

Anyway I have taken a position from the off at 1.36. Go Saints!!!

Decent opening drive from the Buccaneers but only ends in a field goal. 3-0. (9:58 left in 1st Qtr)

Saints opening drive results in a Touchdown!! Some excellent offence combined with a couple of silly Buccs penalties made it fairly straight forward. 3-7 (4:41 left in 1st) Looks promising for overs backers.

TB can't even get a 1st down this time and have to punt Saints ball (2:22 left in 1st Qtr on own 43)
My target green out of 1.14 is getting nearer. 1.19 now. Should be below that though if Saints get a Touchdown.

FFS Saints had 3rd and 1 on Buccs 3 yard line. Looked a certain touchdown until a fumble and a turnover! Foolishly I didn't take my target green out at 1.14 when it was available either... let's hope that doesn't come back to bite me on the bum! Tampa have the ball. (12:21 left in 2nd Qtr on own 4).

Tampa getting the lucky breaks for now. Freeman just avoided a sacking and got it away on 3rd down for a 1st then followed a bizarre attempted block that flew for miles and resulted in a  38 yard completion! Then it seemed the damage had at least been limited to a FG but no!! Saints defensive offside nullifies the field goal and award them the 1st down, which they duly convert for a Touchdown! 10-7 (6:40 left in the 2nd Qtr)

Saints forced to punt, Tampa have it on own 26 (4:22 left in 2nd Qtr)

Freeman fumbles in the sack after getting as far forward as Saints 24 yd line! Saints have it on their 48 (1:49  left in 2nd with 1 TO left I think)

Brees trew an interception to put an end to that! Halftime and it remains 10-7. My biggest concern is that will Saints try in the second half? Falcons are winning easy so now there is nothing to play for and we may see some players rested. Saints do have the ball 1st though so if no score I think it will be time for the old switcherooney!

Update... I have switched at halftime! got 2.24 on Tampa. Just feel that Saints won't score on 1st drive and as such the odds on Tampa will plummet to 1.70's.

Hmm well Saints held to the Field Goal there. Need Tampa to get a scoring drive now. 10-10 (10:30 left in 3rd)

Great kick return by Spurlock to the Saints 33 yard line! Come On!!!! And another 1st down to NO 23. Grrrr only a Field Goal 13-10. Need the defence to perform now! (8:01 left in 3rd)

Go Defence!! Turnover on the Saints 38 !! Get the TD please Tampa!!!

And I'm out!! £51.76 TB £51.71 NO

That was a lucky escape!

Buccs score a Touchdown for a 20-10 lead but I'm more than happy to have got out with nearly my target winnings.

Saints pull a Field Goal back for 20-13 (11:17 left in the 4th)

Tampa get another Field Goal. 23-13

Tampa Bay Buccaneers Win 23-13

Profit: £51.76



Atlanta Falcons @ New York Giants

All in on the Giants at home today. Not got much time for a write up as having my dinner.

However 1.34 is fine for me. Hopefully add more when my belly is full :-)

Well not exactly the start I had been hoping for. Falcons lead 7-3 early in the 2nd Quarter. I was hoping for a strong 1st half from the Giants so I could trade out and move on.

And now they go and end a great drive with a missed field goal attempt from 31 yards!!

That's more like it Manning seems to be having a good game here the score doesn't reflect the game in my opinion. Giants lead 10-7 with 7 mins left to halftime.

Well it must be the night for missed Field Goals as Falcons miss from 35 yards so the score remains 10-7 to the Giants.

A Falcons  gives a turnover to Giants 1st down on the Falcons 34 yard line with 1.34 on the clock. A TD here and halftime will be much more relaxed!

TOUCHDOWN!!!! Extra point added.... Giants lead 17-7. Halftime.

Not a great start to the 2nd half! Falcons score a Touchdown with their first drive! 17-14 now.
Giants go straight back up the other end for a Touchdown 24-14 8.36 left in the 3rd quarter.

Despite The Giants trying their hardest to help Falcons with penalties that drive, they can only manage a field goal. The score is 24-17 now and if The Giants can get a Touchdown on this next drive the odds should certainly be nice and low for a trade out and even green before the tennis starts!

Bish Bosh Bash!!! Have some of that!!! Touchdown!! Perfect timing now I'll green out for the tennis I think :-)

£47.88 Giants
£0.00 Falcons

Giants doing their best to stuff it up so I'm even both sides for  £36.55



New York Giants Win 34-31 in Overtime

Miami Dolphins @ Carolina Panthers

Can't see past Panthers here on own ground so I'm going all in on them. No great write up I know but it's late! However they do have hot cheerleaders!! :-)

It's on Sky Sports 1 but if you need a stream there's one here.

Good luck if you're on with me!

Well what can I say? Panthers were rubbish until their last 3 drives! Could have won but defence was woeful!

100% loss. God I miss the tennis!! LOL

San Diego Chargers @ New York Giants

OK taking the Giants here from the off @ 1.46. AT home they should be able to beat the Chargers despite a couple af bad weeks and really need the win to get their season back on track.

Back New York Giants 1.46 £64.76 £29.79


Hmmm 7-7 at half time. More to the point though I can't believe that the Giants don't have a Cheerleading team!! What's that all about? Had I known I would never have backed them. That must nullify all their home advantage imho ;-)

Well I could have greened out at 1.05..... but I didn't as I was chasing every penny in the pursuit of turning my week green, and lost!

Houston Texans @ Indianapolis Colts

After much deliberation I decided to go with the Colts in the early kick offs. For me Patriots were just too short so didn't offer value, and Falcons price came in a bit too quickly for my liking. Colts have been on fine form despite making hard work of it last week so should win by 7 at least I think.

Colts Lead 13-3 at half time. As it happens my other two selection are also winning with Falcons romping it 24-3, but Patriots struggling a tad with a 16-10 lead.

 Well the 3rd Quarter hasn't started well! The Texans started with a touchdown drive then the Colts had to punt on their drive. 13-10 with just over 6 mins left in the 3rd.

Well that was tighter than I was hoping for!!

Colts Win 20-17
Profit: £12.84

Atlanta Falcons @ New Orleans Saints

Saints should win this a t a breeze (famous last words!!) I was tempted by the 9.5 handicap but going to bed so just trying to nick a few quid here. Decided to go for the -3.5 handicap instead as offers nicer odds than the win and should be safe enough.

Philadelphia Eagles @ Washington Redskins

Backing the Eagles here. After such a terrible result losing to the Oakland Raiders last week they are going to want to get back on track tonight!

The Redskins have been awful so I really expect a comfortable victory here for the Eagles. The odds of 1.28 are perhaps a bit skinny but I guess you've gotta take what's available :(
