Tennis September 7th – US Open

45-18-2 on tennis up 24.21 units

Lost a little bit last time out. I have some good hunches on these semi finals though..

Nadal at -150 for 6 units. Sending it today. The key to this match is Del Potro’s serve vs Nadal’s return game. Del Potro is going to have to have the precision and accuracy he has not yet shown this tournament to move the Spaniard around. Del Potro will need to work his inside-out forehand well if he wants to win. Nadal has a strong forehand (obviously) so they both will try to get to the others backhand. I just see Nadal having the return and enough baseline rally winners to move on to the final here.

NFL September 6th

0-0 on NFL

Season bets:

Patriots win AFC at +200 for 3 units. They will be in the game as long as Tom stays healthy and then you can hedge out if you want (I prolly won’t do that but…).

Panthers win NFC at +2100 for 2 units.

Saints win NFC at +575 for 2 units. I think either one of these teams would have beat the Eagles if they played them in the playoffs last season. And you might be saying cool doesn’t matter.. well I think it does matter because they know they can beat anyone. Saints and Panthers have windows that won’t be open for more than 2 more years. It is win now mode for both of them.

Thursday night bets:

Falcons +1.5 for 3 units. Falcons are going to run the ball this game. Sanu, Hooper, and Ridley are the best compliments Julio has had since Roddy White and Pretty face Tight end Tony were in Atlanta. I think the NFC South is the best division in football. The Falcons will get their revenge and learn from their mistakes last time they lost to the Eagles. Atlanta got a little better this off season and are healthier than they were in the playoffs last season (when compared to the Eagles). Injuries hurt them in that game.

College Football September 1st

0-1 on college football down 3 units. 

Tilting a little bit because I am mad Army did not cover. Scared money don’t make money.

Ohio State/Oregon State over 63 for 4 units. Oregon State has no defense.

Texas -13.5 for 4 units. The Longhorns will get their revenge for last year here. DJ Durkin is suspended for Maryland after the sad events of this past summer. I like Sam Ehlinger a lot for the Longhorns and I think he can do enough here.

North Carolina +7.5 for 4 units. This game is a coin flip so I will take the 7.5 point cushion.

Old Dominion -5 for 5 units. ODU will beat Liberty. ODU struggled last year against bigger schools, but they will win this one. Liberty paid ODU 1.3 million dollars to play this game. Bobby Wilder is a solid coach for ODU.

 

 

Soccer September 1st

16-11-2 on Soccer since World Cup up 12.90 units

Bayern Munich at -333 for 5 units. Stuttgart beat Bayern 4-1 last time they played. Bayern will get revenge today. Bayern has won their 6 games on the road domestically. Stuttgart has been scored on by Bayern the last 18 times they have met. Muller has got out to a good start fort Bayern and I expect that to continue.
