BYU -4
Titans -3
Steelers -4
Lions +14 1/2

Card 2

Eagles -9
Falcons -5 1/2

Welcome to the forum jerseyru

No offense but your playing to many games and need to get away from parlays since they are a bookies dream.

Eagles -9 & Lions +14 1/2 look good though. 🙂

Thanks for the heads up.. Parlays just seem fun.. You bet $5 a card and maybe win $250 -$500. You have any picks you think are good this week?

Welcome Jersey... I agree with you parlays are fun.... but I also agree with Blade in the sense that your bank roll would benefit more and faster if you went with fewer games... but even still, I kinda like the Steelers -4, and the Falcons -5.5..
BOL with your plays..

As long as you aren't looking to get rich off Parlays I don't see anything wrong with throwing a couple bucks down. Better odds than buying a lottery ticket.

Anyhow, I can't say much about the College one as I don't follow the game super closely but I am not real sure about your NFL one. Personally I would of taken the KC and Min our and went with somebody else. Rest looks good though, I like all those games (phi, atl, nyg). I would of swapped out KC and Min with Atl and Ten maybe?
