Straight Up No Points

When betting for fun or small stakes, I always go with Miami.

When I used to bet "real" money I never ever touched the Miami game.
I wouldn't even think about it! :)
 
I have been pretty good at picking games this year. I will be laying my money on the Eagles this week. Dolphins are a mess right now.
 
Eagles in a close one. Third game on the road for the Phins, two lopsided losses...Eagles are a mess right now as well but Miami has lost confidence and some key players over the last two weeks so I give the Eagles the edge in a close game.
 
no feel for this game at all. I think Sam Bradford sucks though.
 
I am 5-1 betting Fins games this year, although sometimes I bet the opponent straight up just to soften the blow when the fins lose (won big last week). This game I have no clue, not betting it. Haven't watched the Eagles much and have no clue how this game will go.
 
Phins or Iggles ?
struggling with this one



The Phins tend to struggle with mobile QB's....Kirk Cousins in Week One, although we won. Bortles in Week 2 who we lost to. Lost to Tyrod Taylor twice,,,,,he ran all over us. Even Ryan Fitzpatrick got 34 yards on us with the Bills. Brady isn't mobile, but we never got to him. Bradford is like a statue. If Suh and Vernon can't get to Bradford and stop them, the Phins might as well blow it up.

Eagles have a stout run defense and that is what miami needs to do but won't be able to. With the entire right side of the line the equivalent of missiippi valley state community college, they are going to have to keep tannehill in shotgun and move the pocket for him to be successful. It isn't going to happen. The eagles trio of running backs are going to murder the worst linebacking corp in the NFL. Suh may get a helmet stomp in out of frustration. I see eagles winning and winning big. 34-10 eagles. I have a gut feeling Tannehill may get hurt this game. He will get hit hard and often.

Eagles might be a mess. But the dolphins suck right now. I would take the Eagles straight up.
 
I wouldn't touch this game with a ten foot pole. At their core both teams are wildly mediocre, but neither is consistently mediocre. Two Dr. Jeckyl and Mr Hyde type teams. If I was forced to put money on it I'd go with the Eagles because they more "in it" at this point.
 
I like our chances because we are not playing a team from our division.

sad, but true
 
sometimes I bet the opponent straight up just to soften the blow when the fins lose (won big last week).

I have done that the last two weeks and cashed in. I started doing it last year in New England and have used that betting method several times since then. Its a win-win scenario. The Dolphins lose, you win money. The Dolphins win and you pay a small fee for the positive results and a great weekend.
 
Dolphins are just too messed up across the board

I am now picking whoever the dolphins play to win. If by some miracle the dolphins win, great. Otherwise i won't be disappointed.
 
Should be closer than most think. BTW...Nolan Caroll gets a lot of playing time for the Eagles, they have to exploit that side.
