Opening Jets vs Colts Odds for Week 9 Thursday Night Football

The Indianapolis Colts are 11.5-point home favorites over the New York Jets in the NFL’s Week 9 TNF showdown on Thursday, November 4 The Jets are 0-4 straight up and ATS on the road this season Read below for a prediction on which way the line will move leading up to kickoff  As miracles go, the one pulled Sunday by the New York Jets was impressive, but it still doesn’t measure up to the one they achieved via their Super Bowl 3 victory over the Colts. Still, a win is a win and for the Jets, Sunday’s 34-31 verdict over the Cincinnati Bengals was as much needed as it was unexpected. As far as the Indianapolis Colts are concerned, they were also seeking a much-needed win on Sunday at home against the Tennessee Titans. It didn’t happen though. Indy blew a 14-0 lead and lost 34-31 in overtime. Still, oddsmakers aren’t ready to buy into back-to-back miracles. It’s the hometown Colts who are given the favorites nod over the Jets in the opening line by 11.5 points. New York’s football

5 Lessons Learned – NFL Week 8

There was drama aplenty on Monday morning as the bulk of the NFL Week 8 schedule played out over 11 hours. Backup quarterbacks stepped up and delivered in a big way as some big stars were forced to sit out. For new arrivals to the blog, before you check your calendar and wonder what day it is, there is a method to offering a weekly recap before the week in question has been completed. As is Cup week tradition here for NFL 5 Lessons Learned, we’re bringing you our weekly recap on a Monday so you can focus on Flemington tomorrow. And let’s be honest, what are we going to pick up from tomorrow’s Chiefs-Giants game anyway? 1 – Trick or Treat It was only fitting that the games played on October 31 produced some scary results across the board. On the American holiday where you go around to other people’s houses and come away with candy,  road teams provided a fill up. Prior to the Vikings and Chiefs playing, only three of the eight home favourites managed to win and cover, while home

2021 Melbourne Cup Internationals Preview

Four of the last five Melbourne Cup winners have been internationally trained and nine of the last 11 have been Internationally bred. We will not see as many horses making the trek this year because of the state of the world at the moment but they always add a lot of intrigue into our great race. The red hot favourite for this year’s race, Incentivise, is a local horse but there are still a few internationals that could spoil the party for the Australian trained contingent. Twilight Payment The 2020 Melbourne Cup winner comes into this race in better form than he did last year when winning the race by half a length. The now nine year old gelding was a dominant winner at Curragh by 1.8 lengths over 2816m before finishing second behind Sonnyboyliston by less than a length in the Irish St Leger. He rises in weight from 55.5kg last year to 58kg this year and will have to defy history by becoming just the second horse in 66 years to carry the number 1 saddlecloth to victory to win the

Jimmy Cassidy’s 2021 Melbourne Cup Tips

Jimmy Cassidy has won the Melbourne Cup on two occasions, with Kiwi and Might And Power, and he knows more about the race than most! The Pumper has analysed the entire field and his complete 2021 Melbourne Cup tips can be found below! Winner – Incentivise Incentivise is an absolute superstar and he might be the most exciting horse to run in a Melbourne Cup since Might And Power in 1997. He could not have been more impressive in the Caulfield Cup and I think that he will be even better over the 3200 metres of the Melbourne Cup. I like the fact that he makes his own luck right on the speed and he is a stayer with a serious amount of class. I am confident that he can win the Melbourne Cup by more than five lengths. Bet Now: Incentivise 2nd – Twilight Payment I expect Twilight Payment to produce another strong performance in the Melbourne Cup. He could not have been tougher when he won the race 12 months ago and his lead-up form has been even better than it was 12 months ago.

Randwick - Race 7 4:20pm AEDT No. 5 Wandabaa Wandabaa has been an incredibly consistent mare throughout her 26 start racing career, placing in 19 of those starts.
