the trick is not in just playing these dogs, it
is in checking out the money lines for value.
Green Bay was +240 on the money line, paying as
much as a two-team parlay. Wanna see something
that will really sting you if you didn’t
play the dogs? A five-team parlay with the aforementioned
teams would have paid $2045...ON A TEN DOLLAR
TICKET! That is one helluva investment.
When Brett Favre is on his game, the Packers are
always a decent bet. No player has as big an alpha
dog mantra as Favre. When people get on his case,
he does everything in his power to put a game
completely on his shoulders. So in circumstances
when the Pack are getting a touchdown from a team
as bad as Detroit, it is definitely worth an investment.
Take the Rams for example,
a team that shut down the Broncos’ high-powered
offense two weeks ago. Why would they have any
problems with a Cardinals team that is getting
way too much credit? Sure, St. Louis lost to the
49ers last week, but that was even more reason
to jump on the Rams. No team wants to lose two
divisional games in a row. The Rams get the Lions
and Packers next and could be one of the biggest
4-1 surprises in football!
An
early dog this week is the Vikings. They are getting
a point from the Bills, who just lost as six-point
home favorites. In Buffalo or not, why would anybody
lay a point with the Bills. Don’t take the
point, take the +135 you are likely to get on
the Vikings and run with it. The key to making
money in football is finding the right spots,
and money lines are always worth a look.
Dog Money lines are
a good bet in many circumstances. Many recreational
players are not familiar with the advantages of
betting money lines; especially dog money lines.
Instead, they prefer to simply take the points,
believing that this advantage will help them win
more games and more money. Placing wagers on dog
money lines can pay off quite handily with very
little risk to the player if the line is not that
high. Dogs will win, the trick is finding the
right matchups, and when you do, you can clean
up easily.
The topping on the cake came on Monday night,
when the underdog Saints beat favored Atlanta
outright. That meant that you could have had yourself
a wining, six-team dog parlay and laughed all
the way to the bank.
