I don't have too much time to make the Proline picks this week.
Some quick thoughts:
Atlanta has never lost in San Diego.
Chicago and Minnesota have looked about the same this year, and their records support that idea. However, the Bears are paying 2.80. I guess that's the price of a road team. Still, they have a good shot in this game, and the 2.80 odd is a nice payout.
I imagine it's a stupid mistake, but I can't keep my eyes off of that 4.50 St. Louis home odd. Miami isn't the best road team, and they will be playing in a dome. If St. Louis gets it together, they might have a chance to win. I think a better chance than a 4.50 Proline odd.
I think Carolina is a better team than Green Bay, and they can get a win on the road. However, I thought they could get a road win last week in Atlanta and that cost me a few nice tickets. Still, Green Bay is coming off a short week, after a Monday night game that certainly had them running around.
Pitt and New England look like a nice tie paying 2.80. It is certainly the game of the week, and should be a close one seeing how those teams play defense.
Good luck with your Proline picks this week.
NFL Week 12 Proline Results
This week I am starting something new. I will have the Proline results before Proline!
Proline does not release its results until Monday, which can be frustrating. Now I will have the results ready on Sunday after the games.

Week 12 NFL Proline Predictions
I am coming off a nice win last week and I am looking to keep things rolling. The 3 of 4 rotation worked well for me, so I will go back to it this week.
It has been a while since I started my post with a preview of the Bills game; Anyone want to take a guess why? The Bills are ice-cold, and I don't have the heart to talk about them again this week. Let's just say "must-win" is an understatement. Still, I like their chance and a 1.8 Proline odd looks nice.
My favourite game of the week has taken a drastic change on the Proline odds. New England opened up as 1.5 point underdogs and are now sitting at 2.5 point favourites. Their Proline odd went from 2.5 to 2.1. However, based on the Proline Chart they are still a proper payout.
Apart from the odds, I think this is a great pick. New England is a better team, which is a good enough reason right there. Also, they were embarrassed by Miami in week 3, in what was Matt Cassell's first NFL start. Clearly he has improved since that game and is looking better every week. I know Miami is tough at home, but I simply can't see them sweeping the season series with New England. New England is still the defending AFC North champs, with or without Brady. This week is their chance to remind everyone the Dolphins are an overachieving team and won't be a factor when the playoff teams are determined.
The other game I like took a small drop on the Proline odds. Carolina heads into Atlanta paying 2.4. They opened at 2.5, but are still listed as the underdogs at 2.4. Carolina is a quiet 8-2 and has not been talked about very much this year. Most people are still waiting for Dallas to show they are the challengers of the Giants in the NFC this year. While everyone has been waiting on the Cowboys, the Panthers have proven they are the 2nd best team in the NFC. Their 8-2 record speaks for itself. The Falcons on the other hand are one of many overachieving teams this year. What really interests me in this game is Matt Ryan vs. the Carolina defense. The rookie QB has had success, but has not had to face a defense as tough as Carolina. This will be the game that shows why Matt Ryan is not quite ready to bring a team into the playoffs yet. I like Carolina paying 2.4, and I love them as 1.5 point underdogs.
I like Tennessee at home this week; I think the Jets will have a let-down after that huge win against New England.
I think the two best ties this week are IND/SD and GB/NWO. The Indy/San Diego game was a Proline Tie in 2007, and should be close again this year.
I know Arizona plays well at home, but I don't think they are in the same class as the Giants. Paying 1.7, the Giants could be a good Proline pick.
My ticket:
I am going to pick a 3 of 4 Proline rotation with,
New England 2.1
Carolina 2.4
Tennessee 1.6
Buffalo 1.8
However, I still have another day, which might be enough time for me to convince myself to replace one of those lower odds with a tie on the Indy/San Diego game.
I will also play a few Pointspread tickets, that will certainly revolve around New England giving up 2.5 points and Carolina getting 1.5.
Good luck with your Proline picks.

Week 12 NFL Proline Chart
Here is the Proline Chart, which details the proper payouts of each team this week in the NFL.
Week 12 NFL Proline Chart
Week 12 NFL Proline Chart
NFL Week 11 Proline Results
I hit 4 out of 4 and that's a winning ticket and a full cash on a 3 of 4 rotation. Tampa Bay, Green Bay, New Orleans, and Tennessee all came in for me.(See my Proline Predicitons here)
I was close on a Pointspread too, as I called Arizona, San Fran, San Diego, but lost with Washington.
This was a good week, and I hope this is the start of something. Here are the NFL Proline Results for Week 11:
Proline Results NFL Week 11
As promised, I wanted to mention a few things about the difference between Pointspread and Proline. The ticket I played on Sunday all had odds of 1.70 - 1.90. It made me wonder if teams that need to cover by 4 points(a Proline win) are better to play on Pointspread or Proline. Let's take a look at the odds:
Three teams who are 3.5 point favourites would make a Pointspread ticket that pays 5-1. These teams should always pay 1.90. Three teams paying 1.90 make a Proline ticket that pays 6.859-1. That's a much better payout. Considering each additional team multiplies the Proline odds by 1.9, the values gets better and better. Therefore, it is more beneficial to play a Proline ticket than a Pointspread ticket when you like a group of teams that pay 1.9 and are favoured by 3.5 points.
However, with slight variations it may be better to play a Pointspread ticket. One of my rotations payed 4.9-1 (1.7, 1.7, 1.7), which is less than a three-team Pointspread. If you are confident that the teams will cover that extra point(4.5 point favourites), it may be worth it to play Pointspread.
Overall, Pointspread is a better option when you are confident an underdog will play a well and cover. It is useless to play 10 point underdogs on a Proline win, but the Pointspread is often a good option. This is why most of my Pointspread tickets consist of underdogs.

NFL Week 11 Proline Predictions
Has the game of the week already happened? The thrilling finish to the Jets/Pats game on Thursday has everyone wondering if Sunday can live up to that kind of excitement. If that wasn't the game of the week, then these two might be:
Cowboys/Redskins on Sunday night.
Tony Romo is back and just in time for the fading Cowboys. Will he be ready to play the role of saviour for the Boys? Remember he was playing when the Skins upset the Cowboys in Dallas earlier this season. I think the bigger injury here is Clinton Portis. The MVP candidate is the heart of Washington's offense. Without him, Jason Campbell will be forced to make plays he isn't used to making. Campbell has succeeded as a low turnover/high efficiency quarterback, which might not happen if he is without Portis. The real question here for someone picking this game is this: Do you think the Cowboys make the playoffs this year or not? Because if not, this is the game that could be an early nail in the coffin. A loss to the Skins here on Sunday night would probably be the end for the 5-4 Cowboys.
Proline Odds:
The 2.80 TIE might be the best bet for this game.
Baltimore/New York
The Giants are clearly the best team in the NFC, and apart from Tennessee, who is better in the AFC than the Ravens(I know, Pitt, New England, Indy, and the Jets might be , but for the sake of argument....)
The Ravens have won four in a row, and Joe Flacco has been playing better and better. Yet the story of this game is defense. Baltimore has the number one defense and the Giants have the number 3 defense. The problem I see here for the Ravens is their 3-2 road record(don't forget the Giants are the Superbowl champs and this years Superbowl favourites right now).
Proline Odds:
The Giants at 1.40 isn't worth it, the 3.60 TIE might be worth a play, and the 4.00 Baltimore win looks doubtful but interesting.
Here are my thoughts on what I have been reading about this week and where my tickets are heading.
Tampa Bay is 4-0 at home this year and they are coming off a bye week. The 1.70 looks like a good pick, but so does the measly 4.5 poinspread. I like TB this week.
West Coast teams playing a 1pm start on the East Coast almost always lose. This doesn't look good for Oakland in Miami.
Atlanta is 4-0 at home. Denver is 2-2 on the road.
Questions to ask yourself before you make your Proline Picks this week:
The Packers are cold. Is this the game they turn things around and take control of their NFC North division title?
Why are the Chiefs, one of the worst teams in the league, only 5.5 point underdogs to the Saints, who are chasing a playoff spot?
Is this the game that the Cardinals show everyone they are the new NFC West champs?
Will we see the Indy of old, the one that absolutely destroys Houston at home every time they play?
Is Denver for real? Is Atlanta for real? One of them will be after this week.
Why are people picking Jacksonville to upset the Titans and stop the unbeaten streak? They are 1-3 at home this year.
Here are my Proline Picks:
Tampa Bay 1.70 -4.5
Tennessee 1.70 -4.5
Green Bay 1.90 -3.5
New Orleans 1.70 -5.5
I am thinking about a 3 of 4 Proline rotation or even a 4 team Pointspread. Check out my next post, where I discuss the differences between playing Pointspread or Proline.

Week 10 NFL Proline Results
My 3 out of 4 was good as I had the Giants, Pats, and Titans. I only missed on the Saints over the Falcons, who still had a chance near the end but couldn't come back.
The only problem is I never played the 3 out of 4. I reasoned that it wasn't worth it and played a straight up 4 team Pointspread. That didn't work, and I was left empty-handed again. Looks like the old Proline lesson: Don't get greedy. Proline are experts at getting players to avoid low odds and go for the big money. Somehow people always think that they need to win a lot more on Proline, and end up with nothing.
Another unlucky week for me, but at least my picks looked a little better this week.

Week 10 NFL Proline Predictions
Here are my Proline Predictions for Week 10 in the NFL:
The last few weeks have taught me to not rely on the Buffalo Bills, and this week I think I have learned the lesson. Any Bills fan knows that they don't beat New England. The Pats have won the last 14 of 15 from the Bills. This week should be no different. Although I would love to see them win (and get back on top of the division) it doesn't seem likely. Therefore, it will be my first time betting against my Bills this year. The 4.5 points New England is giving up doesn't seem like too much at home, as I expect a win by at least a touchdown.
One game I like this week is the Saints against the Falcons. The Saints swept the series last year and Drew Brees has had a lot of success against the Falcons. The 1.5 points doesn't seem like enough to me, as I think the Saints can win by at least a field goal.
The 8-0 Titans face the Bears and it is still a mystery who will start at QB. It really doesn't matter to me; I think the titans will win this game easily. The Bears D isn't what it used to be. Take a look at some of their recent games and you can see how many points they are giving up. I like the Titans giving up 3.5 points.
These 3 games plus my previously mentioned Giants pick will make up my Pointspread ticket this week. I am thinking about a 3 of 4 rotation, but a 3 team Pointspread only pays 5-1, so it's not really worth it. It looks like a nice 4 game ticket and hope I can win them all. However, I may add in another game and play a 4 out of 5 rotation.
Pointspread:
New England
Tennessee
New Orleans
New York Giants

NFL Week 10 Proline Predictions
Before I break down the Week 10 NFL Proline Predictions I only wanted to comment on my favourite line of the week.
I really like the Giants as a small underdog to Philly. I think the Giants are a better team, they are the champs, and Philly is a little over-rated. The Giants are winning the NFC East and it is games like these that show why.
I need to take a look at the other odds, but I will be keying a lot of my Proline tickets off of the New York Giants.
Here are the highlights for the Browns/Broncos game on Thursday night:

Another tough loss for me and the Bills. They, like my Proline budget, are really on a downslide. The division is slipping away, and they all of a sudden look like a team that will be lucky to make the playoffs. And I look like a guy who will be lucky to win a ticket anytime soon.
Here are the Proline results from Week 9 in the NFL.

NFL Week 9 Proline Predictions
Last week was a disaster, so I hope this is redemption week for my picks. Here are my Proline predictions for the NFL Week 9:
As always, let's take a look at the Bills game. The loss to Miami was real disappointing for fans, and I hope, for the Bills as well. Just like my Proline picks, I hope for redemption from the Bills. Paying 1.6 and giving up 5.5 points, everyone seems to like the Bills' chance of winning. I have to agree, although I will control my enthusiasm after last week's embarrassment. I am worried about the Bills with Schobel and Josh Reed injured. Also, Favre has been playing poorly and I get the feeling he will get it back together. However, this is the game the Bills need to win if they are going to take this division. Today vs. the Jets and next week vs. the Pats will show if they have a real chance of winning the AFC East.
One thing that interests me this week is the teams that are coming off byes. Take a look at the Packers, who are well-rested and playing a Titans team that had a big game on Monday night. I don't know if this is going to be the first loss for Tennessee, but with the big difference in rest the 5.5 points or the 3.7 Proline odd look interesting.
The Vikings are another team coming off of a bye as they face the Houston Texans and their 3 game winning streak. I think this is a chance for Minnesota to get back on track against a Houston team that is due for a loss. The Texans on a 4 game winning streak? It just doesn't sound right. I like the Vikings both giving up 4.5 and paying 1.8.
I like Denver paying 1.7 and giving up a mere 3.5 points. They are coming off a bye and play well at home. Plus, they were crushed by New England before the bye, so you know they have been waiting to get back on the field and beat up on someone. Plus, there is no doubt that Shannahan has taken the extra time to get them prepared for this game.
Let's take a look at some other keys to the games this week:
The Cardinals have won 3 straight games in St. Louis.
This is the longest road trip the Falcons have taken in years, as they go all the way across the country to Oakland. Playing outside the dome against an Oakland team that plays half-decent at home could be trouble. Seems like the game that starts Atlanta's fade to the bottom of their division.
Doesn't the Cleveland/Baltimore game look like a tie? It's not paying much at 2.8, but it looks like the best Proline Tie this week.
Whether you think the Eagles are good or not, that is a long road trip to go all the way to Seattle. Plus, when you really look at it, who have they beaten? Outside of that huge win against the Steelers, they have beaten San Francisco, St. Louis, and Atlanta. Not much of a resume, considering losses to the Bears, Redskins, and Cowboys. I am the first guy to say Seattle is horrible, but 6.5 is a lot of points and 4.0 is a big payout.
My Picks:
I am going to do a 3 out of 4 rotation with
1 H MIN 1.8
4 T BAL/CLE 2.8
9 H DEN 1.7
10 T OAK/ATL 3.1
Hopefully I catch one of the ties and both my wins to make a little money. If I Catch both the ties I win big.
Good Luck with the Proline Picks and leave a comment with your ideas and ticket choices.

I am the first guy to say Seattle is horrible, but 6.5 is a lot of points and 4.0 is a big payout.
My Picks:
I am going to do a 3 out of 4 rotation with
1 H MIN 1.8
4 T BAL/CLE 2.8
9 H DEN 1.7
10 T OAK/ATL 3.1
Hopefully I catch one of the ties and both my wins to make a little money. If I Catch both the ties I win big.
Good Luck with the Proline Picks and leave a comment with your ideas and ticket choices.
