Don't Eat Chalk

Laying more than a touchdown (plus the extra point) in the NFL is generally not a good idea. That doesn't mean never, but you have to be judicious and pick your spots. I am mostly an Underdog player in the NFL and have been fortunate on my documented success. Keep this mind----If you bet an NFL Underdog, three things can happen and two of them will have you cashing tickets.

I strongly disagree with this. Who knows how things will turn out this year, but favorites of -10 or more have covered at a ridiculous rate for the past 4 or 5 seasons. There's just been no parity the last few years
