I went 5 out of 6 in last week in 4 leg parlays after not betting all season until the The Game, BiG Championship, the CFP Semis, the Championship, and The NFL Playoffs. All winners except for one game last week.

Take one guess which game let me down by not covering the spread after hitting 3 legs in the 1st half…

Yep. My Lions found a way to hurt me this year. However, I’m on a “I gotta report these winnings now when I file taxes streak” and I’m absolutely sure about 2 of my 4 leg Parlays in the Lions game, because there is a large majority of tv and internet media predicting BAKER is going to engineer a huge upset …yes..Baker May or likely May not Makefield. Never mind that Mathew Stafford playing out of his mind because he was back at Ford Field as the villain couldn’t do it with Puka, Kopp, Atwell, Robinson, and rookie running back sensation Kyren Williams couldn’t do it, with a defense with A. Donald and a bunch of young guys universally lauded by everyone as a tough Defense that is on its way to being an elite unit based on their play this season.

No. There were some easy legs and I took the Lions to cover and play great Defensively

I took the under with the number at 48.5
Aman-Ra - The Sun God..over 90.5 yards

The last 2 legs have to do with the lions scoring early and going up by 14 points. Reason being, Ford Field was insane and it will have the Lions playing so juiced up at home..I know personally what an advantage that is ..especially in the first half. Arch Bishop Wood played on turf in front of a couple of hundred fans even though they were good. Actually,back in the early 80s, summer travel club league games would draw over 20,000 fans, 100,000 if it was a multiple day weekend tournament. But my catholic HS was in the working class to poor part of the county. We played on grass we kept long because we were a power option run team that would throw 7-10 times a day in a “stadium”..kinda. More like a field enclosed by big bleachers with a small coaches and media box that held up to 10k “capacity“, but thousands more showed up and stood behind the endzones. Every home game we came sprinting out to a song I demanded he let me pick..telling him I’ve been educated in music since I was 2 yrs old, and freely admitted I was an elitist music snob, because I can’t play guitar well, I sing even worse, but I was born with a highly attuned to what’s good and what sucks aural palette. I told coach K to just let me pick it, I haven’t let him down yet. “Except for those 4 flags a game” he cut back at me. I laughed, but made a CART tape (it looked like an 8 track cartridge radio stations put commercials and station 15 sec station IDs on) and gave it to him with full song of of The Stooges “Search and Destroy“ to be played when we came out on the field. Not one player..or anyone else at the game had ever heard it, but the crowd loved the aggressive song..and it really hyped us up. We lost 2 games in 3 years in our stadium because the home crowd of 15,000 sounded like a full Veterans Stadium for a Cowboy game.“

Good luck to Baker executing at a 130 decibel level Ford field was at all game last week. I worked in music, and for comparison, I’m a fan SUNN O))), the most famous “Tune Low, Play Slow” Doom Drone Metal band in the world…these guys play in front of a whole 30 foot long, 4 stack wall of vintage SUNN O))) Japanese Amps..considered by the true guitar genius players as the best amplifiers ever made. Fender bought out the company in 1985 and ruined them..typical Fender shit. But I’m happy to say that SUNN reopened as an independent company in 2023, and though I’m anxious to here their new line of equipment, I don’t think anything can beat the sound of a SUNN amp built in the 60’s until the late 70s. The loudest the loudest band in metal will play is at 120 decibels, right on the edge of causing hearing damage. Now think of Ford Field at 130 decibels, remembering that increases in decibels are measured in magnitudes..like earthquakes. Doing the math in my head, 130 decibels is 10 TIMEs LOUDER than 120 decibels..that is far beyond even hearing yourself think. I’ve heard bands attempt to play that loud, and without quality earplugs..you’ll walk out of the show not being able to hear for days afterwards. I saw this legendary band named Chrome from Germany with the Bevis Frond from England opening in a club that held 120 people tops. That was the night in 1993 that I lost probably a quarter of my hearing because they both were easily at 125 decibels at least. I lost my hearing for nearly a week and had a ringing in them for 2 weeks after that. I still don’t wear ear plugs, but I stand way in the back in every show after that night. In the simplest terms, 130 dB can cause immediate permanent hearing damage, while 120 dB is already considered extremely loud and can cause hearing damage as well.

So i faded Baker hard, under 260.5 yards,

under 1.5 TDs

That’s my Lions Parlay that better hit Lions..y’all owe me.

My other Parlay in sure of is the Ravens game.
- Lamar over 1.5 TDS passing
- Flowers over 49.5 yards receiving
- CJ Stroud over 33.5 passing attempts
- Singletary under 58.5 rushing

Tne other 2 games are enigmas to me. I think Green Bay is playing with free money they won by accident by placing a huge bet on 10 by playing the wrong colored chips. Now their pockets are full, they walked in relaxed and blew the Cowfrauds off the field in the 1st Quarter, and I’m struggling believing they can do it again..because they can’t do it two weeks in row right? I have no clue how to bet this game. I’m 60% thinking the Packers are a white hot team..and the 9ers sat home last week and got rusty. I’ve always thought the bye hurt more than helped. I can see Green Bay having another blitzkrieg first half while the 9ers are flat, then spend the second half furiously trying to comeback and falling short by 4 points. But I feel nothing…no hint either way.

Lastly, KC and The Bills

really thinking of fading KC with the Bills winning by double digits. But it’s Patrick Myhomie..how can I fade that guy in the playoffs. The Bills have ran the “lose and you’re out” gauntlet since they were 6-6, not winning because they were hot, they were just finding ways to win and survive until next week..until they found themselves with the second seed I’m feeling a driven Josh Allen will take 2 of his “All gas No breaks” pills in the morning and have a 400+ total yards 3 pass tds and 1 rush TD game, despite throwing a dumb INT early and fumbling in the 3rd Quarter. But like I said, it’s Myhomie..who has won me at least 5 grand since he became QB-1 in KC…it feels like a big mistake even considering fading him and the chiefs.

If any of you degenerate gamblers out there can illuminate the path for me to follow in both games I’m perplexed about, I’d appreciate any advice you have for me. I getting close to buying a used Ford Ranger and calling Ekstensive Metal Works to get it lifted and bagged with a retro factory off road race truck paint job in classic Ford Blue, and upgrade to 35 inch Hercules Off-road tires. If I go 4 for 4 this week, that fantasy becomes a financially feasible possibility.

So…I need experienced gamblers advice about how they see the 2 games in need help on.

please tell me what you’re feeling in those 2 games.
