    I took Pitt plus 2 1/2 points for $400 in playmoney. Now if the Browns can just win 21-19 I get a two way win!!!!!?

    mjp isn't  taking  into account "The Curse" aka known  as "my wife" will be  at the game  along  with me. The record  with her in attendance at Browns  games anywhere since 1986 is something like 2-25. For instance, 0-4 in Detroit, 0-3 Kansas City. Too bad  we're not  playing  the Jets, she's  2-0 against  them. It's a long story,  but that double  OT win against the  Jets in 1986 was the start of the Curse. She never saw another  Browns  win in  person  until the  Browns beat the Jets around  20 years later. 😁

    My son banned my wife from A&M games when we attended the game we lost to Baylor in 1985 in Waco. 20 years later he lifted the ban so she could attend the Baylor game again in Waco. Result? First loss to Baylor since 1985. Now she  is on permanent lifetime ban. LOL!?

    I am 0-2 when I go to an away game with you.  When you come back from Phoenix and the Browns have won, then we will know it is me.  If they come back a loser, then we will know it is you!

    BTW I am going to Arizona...Sedona, at the end of January.  Jan.26-Feb.2.  Obviously not going to game.  Though the Super Bowl is on Feb. 2....which is the date that I will be heading either back to Vegas, or somewhere like Laughlin perhaps.

    I'm not certain I'm heading to Arizona anymore Gipper. The loss to the Broncos soured me on the prospects. Already have my one away game this season (Patriots) in the books, and I'm not certain I want to spend around $1,000 bucks on a trip to Glendale just to see another stinko effort. Now if the Browns beat the Steelers Thursday- I might change my mind.

    TAKE CLE -2.5 and the OVER 40....BABY,  and sit back and enjoy another primetime game from Cleveland, Ohio.    😉

    Ok Vegas Ag, do remember in some places a tie on a O/U bet you get your wager back, some just LOSE, sorry.  That would be the 40 here. So know that" just in case" it happens.

    That's why the 1/2 point is common in O/U bets.  😉

    With some local bookies straight or parlays all ties lose.   A nice edge for them.

     May have to take a flyer on it while I am out there in  Vegas vicinity.  

    Hows about Browns vs. Packers or Vikings.

    I did not bet the over/under. I took Pitt plus 2 1/2 points. If they win or if they lose by 1 or 2, I win. If they lose by 3 or more I lose.

    EDIT: I thought of you today when I was in seeing two different doctors and set to see a specialist this coming Friday. It was a cartoon of an older man going into a medical clinic and he says to his wife, "My social life has really picked up lately with all these clinic visits dear."??

    Oh I see you're going for the hit on both play like the famous Dallas vs Pittsburgh Super Bowl when both bets hit the middle and paid.

    When I saw the 21-19 I thought you might be going for the side and total..... which can be a good play or parlay.

    You can see some scenarios that would really tighten up the AFCN with only 6 games left for the BROWNS.

    Oh also in the FWIW department I saw one sportsbook had Miami +10 at CLEVELAND in week 12.

    The point spreads do give you a feel what the "smart money" thinks about the upcoming games, not a guarantee -but- more of a good hunch.

    The BROWNS a double digits home favorite, surprised?   (or is Miami that bad)

    Yeah and Cleveland will be extra rested in Week 12 with that Thursday night football schedule.  I wish they'd eliminate them but I rather doubt it will happen.
