Kevin, the host of the D.C. Sports Guys, will start the NFL season with $100 of his own money. The objective is simple: make as much money as possible betting on NFL games. No funds can be added during the season and if the account ever hits $0 Kevin will have to pack it in and admit defeat.
I looked over the games again and again. Every time through I thought to myself, "damn, a lot of heavy favorites this week". Only the Bears going up against the Giants feels like a game one can be confident in the dog. The Broncos can't run and are throwing the ball 57 times a game. Beating Washington didn't really prove anything about St. Louis. Buffalo on top of being being terrible cut their Week 1 starter. Jacksonville's defense will get owned by Peyton Manning. Arizona, Cleveland, San Francisco and Washington aren't worth a look. Detroit and Carolina are +14 and it's possible both should be higher. Oakland's game is boxed and the Pittsburgh-Baltimore and New England-Miami games are too close to call.
I should be happy things look so obvious, right? The problem is there are always upsets to be found. Rarely do favored teams make it though each week in big numbers. Anytime I look down and find all my bets heavy with favorites I cringe. But it's favorites I will roll with this week, six of them, with Chicago as the only dog in the lineup. One big 7-team parlay will try to shoot the moon, then 5 more parlays organized to mitigate the risk.
In Week 4, $60 is wagered to win $197.48.
