Reminded that Release Notes was 2 years ago. What an excellent time. Still benefiting from the relationships and learnings gained there. Thank you @joec and @dazeend

NFL 2021 Week 4 Bets
Last week was a bit rough for me and ready for a bounce back.
Week Result: 10-6, +.33 bucks (need to stop weighing the wrong bets and just raise min bid everywhere)
Overall Results: 41-23, -2.82 bucks
Jaguars @ Bengals
I accidentally locked in the Bengals at -6 last week before they beat the Steelers. Still felt good about it but with them down 14 as I write this… not so great now!
Bengals -6 ❌
Titans @ Jets
Titans are a 6.5 point favorite over the Jets who have been struggling. I know the Titans lack AJ Brown and potentially Julio Jones, but I think they can get it done against an underwhelming Jets team.
Titans -6.5 x3 ❌
Lions @ Bears
Bears are a 3 point favorite against the scrappy Lions. The Lions are probably due, and I am probably lighting money on fire thinking Nagy can redeem himself after last week.
Bears -3 ✅
WFT @ Falcons
WFT are a 1 point favorite on the road against the Falcons. Neither of these feel great. Both teams are a bit lost so far.
WFT -1 ✅
Colts @ Dolphins
The Jacoby Brissett revenge game! Dolphins a 2 point favorite at home and I think they are the better team, so I’ll go with them.
Dolphins -2 ❌
Browns @ Vikings
Browns are only a 2 point favorite and I think they are the much better team. I’ll buy that. and double up the bet.
Browns -2 x2 ✅
Panthers @ Cowboys
Really interesting matchup with the undefeated Panthers facing the underrated by Vegas (in my opinion) Cowboys. Cowboys a 4 point favorite and I am taking them here. Lets see what Darnold and the Panthers D are made of!
Cowboys -4 x2 ✅
Chiefs @ Eagles
Chiefs must be stunned to be 1-2 in September. Eagles are about to get beat up by an angry squad.
Chiefs -7 ✅
Giants @ Saints
Giants are a 7 point underdog and I think they can cover that on the road.
Giants +7 ✅
Texans @ Bills
Bills are a stunning 17 point favorite at home against the Texans. I usually stray away from these game but I recall when I thought the Ravens couldn’t do that to the Jets in 2019 and missed out on some EZ money.
Bills -17 ✅
Seahawks @ 49ers
Really hard game to pick . 49ers are a 2.5 point favorite and I think they are disciplined enough to win the game and win it by at least FG.
49ers -2.5 ❌
Cardinals @ Rams
I bet this game goes back and forth and is close so I will take the 4.5 points and the Cardinals in what might be a shootout.
Cardinals +4.5 ✅
Ravens @ Broncos
Ravens are a point underdog at Mile High. Lets see if the Ravens can give the Broncos their first L.
Ravens +1 (should have done ML, oh well) x5 ✅
Steelers @ Packers
Packers are a 6.5 point favorite against the Steelers who are led by a hella washed Big Ben. I’ll take the other old man QB.
Packers -6.5 ✅
Bucs @ Patriots
Oh yes, the Brady revenge game. Boy is gonna rip his old team a new one in his old stadium. I forgot to multiply my bet on this “lock” but asked a buddy to help me out and I think it’ll be a 6x bet.
Bucs -6.5 x6 ❌
Raiders @ Chargers
Raiders are facing a Chargers team that just beat the Chiefs. We know how draining beating them can be so I can see the Chargers having a bit of a hangover and the sneaky good Raiders covering.
Raiders +3.5 ❌
NFL 2021 Week 3 Bets
Busy week and never posted my week 3 calls. Gonna quickly go through my thoughts and results and throw up week 4 while TNF kicks off.
Weekly Results: 9-7 -1.43 bucks
Overall Results: 31-17 -3.15 bucks
Panthers @ Texans
If I recall correctly, this was a pretty big spread that the Panthers ended up covering. That said, I just went with the ML.
Panthers ML ✅
Cardinals @ Jags
The Cardinals were a 7 point favorite on the road. Jags don’t look good so it was an easy pick and luckily an easy win.
Cardinals -7 ✅
Ravens @ Lions
Well, thought the Ravens would do their job and win by a good margin. We all know how they won… just happy they pulled that off and aren’t 1-2 like the Chiefs. Lost a 3x bet here.
Ravens -9 ❌
WFT @ Bills
WFT was a 7.5 point underdog which felt a bit too rich for me against a Bills team that has had up and downs.
WFT +7.5 ❌
Chargers @ Chiefs
Chiefs were a 6.5 point favorite at home in a divisional game that they really wanted to win after a disappointing loss to the Ravens. Narratives didn’t matter here, Chargers won.
Chiefs -6.5 ❌
Bears @ Browns
Browns were a 7 point favorite against a Bears team that has been quesetionable. I was excited to see Fields finally start but horrid play calling and way too much pressure proved to be too much for him.
Browns -7 ✅
Colts @ Titans
Titans were a 5.5 favorite against a Colts team led by a Wentz on two bum ankles. Give me the underperforming Titans here.
Titans -5.5 ✅
Saints @ Patriots
Saints were given 2.5 points and I felt like this was a game they could win against the rookie QB.
Saints +2.5 ✅
Falcons @ Giants
Giants were a 3 point favorite at home, so basically a split. I like them better than I like the Falcons at this point.
Giants -3 ❌
Bengals @ Steelers
Steelers look bad bad and Bengals are looking pretty good (which I called in our State of the Division episode). Give me the Bengals at +3
Bengals +3 ✅
Jets @ Broncos
I felt like the Broncos were going to wreck the Jets with their suffocating D and the Jets sporting a rocky rookie QB. They did the thing.
Broncos -10.5 ✅
Dolphins @ Raiders
A hot Raiders team was a 4 point favorite against the Dolphins on their backup QB. Felt like a dub, but alas, lost this double up too.
Raiders -4 ❌
Bucs @ Rams
Didn’t love having to pick this one. Bucs -1.5 on the road turned out to be too rich.
Bucs -1.5 ❌
Seahawks @ Vikings
I couldn’t believe the Seahawks were only a 1.5 point favorite. Thought it was an easy dub, I was off on this week. I blame Greek Festival distractions 😝
Seahawks -1.5 ❌
Packers @ 49ers
Packers were a 3.5 point underdogs on the road. 49ers are a disciplined team but I think Aaron Rodgers and the Packers are warming up after their week 1 dud.
Packers +3.5 ✅
Eagles @ Cowboys
Cowboys were only a 3.5 point favorite at home against an Eagles team that I think is a bit overhyped. Felt good about this one.
Cowboys -3.5 ✅
NFL 2021 Week 2 Bets
All my picks (minus Thursday which was for the Giants to cover ✅) for this week were in the video with @HuddleItUpFilms.
Week Results: 12-4 +7.72 bucks
Overall Results: 22-10 -1.72 bucks
Giants @ WFT
I love to pick the +3.5 games, particularly when I think that team is going to win because even a field goal win for the other squad means they cover. Did this a few times this week.
Giants +3.5 ✅
Rams @ Colts
I figured the Rams would win by a decent margin with how Wentz was playing, oh well.
Rams -3.5 ❌
Texans @ Browns
To be honest I wasn’t feeling this spread and usually do the moneyline, but I just followed my notes with Jason and picked it anyways this week.
Browns -13 ❌
Bills @ Dolphins
I expected the Bills to bounce back after a poor performance against the Steelers. I like the Dolphins, but not as much as I like the Bills.
Bills -3.5 ✅
49ers @ Eagles
I think that people are forgetting the quality of the 49ers and how bad injuries were for them. Hurts has definitely been impressing me more than I thought he would.
49ers -3 ✅
Saints @ Panthers
When Jason made the Saints his locked-in pick of the week I started to question my confidence in the Panthers. Turned out this one was not even close.
Panthers +3 ✅
Patriots @ Jets
Jets are a dumpster fire and Patriots are super well-coached and have their D back.
Patriots -6 ✅
Broncos @ Jaguars
This was my locked-in pick of the week so I doubled my bet.
Broncos -6 ✅
Raiders @ Steelers
Raiders impressed me Monday Night. Steelers seldom do these days.
Raiders +6.5 ✅
Bengals @ Bears
I was fading the Bears due to Dalton being the QB still and I think the Bengals are up and coming. Just missed.
Bengals +2.5 ❌
Falcons @ Bucs
Falcons look not that good and the Bucs look like they won the Super Bowl last year.
Bucs -12.5 ✅
Vikings @ Cardinals
I thought the Cardinals would outpace the Vikings by a bit more than 4, but I suppose not. Plexiglass Cousins kept it close.
Cardinals -4 ❌
Cowboys @ Chargers
I probably should have taken the moneyline on Cowboys too. I was pretty sure they’d win, and at least cover with that sweet 3.5 rule I was talking about.
Cowboys +3.5 ✅
Titans @ Seahawks
I get that the Titans lost big and looked like trash last week, but 6.5 points? Gimme that every day.
Titans +6.5 ✅
Chiefs @ Ravens
I figured the Ravens could keep it close and cover the +3.5. Love to see them win.
Ravens +3.5 ✅
Lions @ Packers
We saw the Lions crush many folks hopes for the 49ers to cover after some garbage time points. Hope they don’t do that to the Packers who will probably be wanting to prove something after looking like a dumpster fire last week.
Packers -12 ✅
Need to start resting and prepping my voice for Sunday. Every down is getting 3rd down energy for this one 😈😈😈 #RavensFlock
