You can follow and celebrate afterwards or you can view and and wonder what if.

NFL - I am on Seattle tonight against Philly- This season Philly is just plain snakebit- Eagle Fans - think of the high draft choice. Maybe a QB or WR.
NFL is not my strong suit lately however.

I teased Seattle +2 and took the Under 47 1/2.
It will snow- no wind conditions to speak of tonite. may be as much as 4-7 inches. That does not guarantee an under as I use to believe. WR's and QB know where they are going and the defense is guessing. remember the game in Oakland/ against Denver - way over. Plus you can't see the eyes of the QB. However, Just seemed good value anyway to play the under as opposed to the over.

---------------------------------------------------------
Now below are trends to consider for many BB games tonight- Each have high values to look at in picking games- Capping entails more than trends but usually it backs up a play in mind. Many bettors do not see the opposing trends - so it is in the eye of the beholder presenting them.

One trend gets Utah to cover in the NBA 1st half and I have Minn +2 on the game so tread lightly on this game. I selected Minn earlier on a tease.
