    Stupid question but needed to ask.
    Its basically the handicap in points that the bookies have come up with to offer an even game. So Ireland play USA in the RWC the handicap was Ireland -36. Which means Ireland need to win by 37 points or more in order for them to win on the handicap. Likewise USA need to lose by no more than 35 points if they are to beat the handicap and make them a winning bet. Its essentially the head start you give to the favourites.

      If a team is -6.5 then you take 6.5 away from their final score so essentially they must win by 7 or more points to win on the handicap.

        if you back a team and they are -6.5 they need to win by 7 more more. similarly if you back a team and they are +6.5 they just have to lose by less than 7.

        its more prevelent in sports that has a lot of scoring so would be more common in rugby than soccer for example

          Thanks lads.

          A lot of the bets on here make a lot more sense now.

            I think Atlanta will Slam the Jags tonight.
            Hasselbeck for the titans is looking like he wont play and Jake Locker has been very limited in practice. I really do think indy will have a chance even without the +6.5.

              Have a feeling that the Saints could falter here. Wont back against them though and they are playing in a dome. Its a no bet for me.

              Denver are so confident now and finding a way, think its a difficult prospect for any team right now. A no bet for me again I think.

              Like the Chargers too but I think it will be v close.
              Hearing alot about the Colts this week, think they have a good chance.

              Agree have Atlanta and Dallas as my big bets this week.

                Any reason why you dont like the saints? hard to not like them considering they are up against a 2-11 vikings with Pieterson only returning after a 3 game layoff and they are on a 7 game losing streak with nothing to play for. Plus their secondary is in bits coming up against the best passing offense in the league.

                As others have said all the public money will be on God's son this week. I just cant see him going blow for blow with Brady especially with gronkoski and welker in their current form. Pats need to win to be sure of a playoff spot so they wont be holding back either

                  Colts +6.5 is a solid bet. Hasselbeck wont start and I am not happy with the Titans so far at all, at all.

                  Gonna go with a treble for the weekend to get me started off.

                  Bubblekings picks seem pretty solid. And as you mentioned Tony, Vikings are 2-11. Should count on Brees to bring that one home easily.

                  Cheers for the tips lads.

                    I think the Saints give up alot of rushing yards and think Pieterson could have a good game. Dont think they will roll over and have their bellies tickled just because they are 2-11. I expect a big game from them. Dont think it will be enough to beat the Saints but think it will be a sweat.

                    I really dont rate Tebow as a QB but think it will be close enough.

                    I think the Cowboys/Atlanta will hammer their opposition esp Dallas

                      Trying to get good at analysing props for NFL games so spent a good while on this JAC v ATL game tonight. Think i've found some value in these bets:

                      Team to score longest field goal: JAC @ 1.87 (b365)
                      Team to score shortest field goal: ATL @ 1.83 (b365)
                      Total FGs scored: under 3.5 @ 1.61 (b365)
                      Total Sacks: Over 4 @ 2.04 (Pinnacle)

                      GL

                        You need to do some reading regarding Tom Brady vs Denver.

                            Looking good on the Atlanta bet. Jags are the nut worst team now surely.

                                I'v done a fun accumalator Dalas -6.5, New Orleans, -6.5, Bengals -6.5 and Colts +6.5.

                                Colts and Bengals I am worried about but sure.. Will keep me entertained.

                                  Feeling the sweat on Dallas, got a bit giddy with my bet.

                                    Did a bit of looking into stats for the last few hours and came to the conclusion it would be stupid not to be taking The Pats tomorrow night at -6.5 at all. I think they should win by 14 or more tbh.

                                    On a bit of a heater the past 24 hours Sports betting so hoping it all pays off again in the NFL.

                                    GL to you too Rory. Nice win with The Falcons the other night.

                                      Dont under estimate Tebow he is on a hot streak, tough match to be betting on imo

                                        Patriots traditionally struggle against the bronco's, maybe its the altitude I dont know. There seems a lot of cut and dry games this week but I would steer clear of this one for the odds on offer. Much better games out there

                                            Small bet on Tampa +7.5 on betfair @ 1.9
                                            Cowboys 2-4 on the road. They seem to like making hard work of games.

                                                The line in the Pats Bronco game on PP is 7.5, that seems a lot I think. Given the Broncos D and now players out for Pats I'd expect it to be less than a TD in it. May have a bet closer to the game. Nothing great jumping out apart from that Cowboys bet earlier. Prob have a few quid on Eagles -3

                                                      Yeah Colts well able to put up a fight against The Titans.

                                                      The Titans will run the ball a lot which will chew up clock and keep it low-scoring, which is ideal when you have 6.5 points in hand. Wouldn't expect the Titans to score more than 23 points so 17 will be enough for the Colts which should be achievable. They may even win outright.

                                                        Giants, Packers, Saints, Seahawks, Bengals and Titans in the handicap markets all look good to me.

                                                        I mentioned earlier in the week to Bubbleking that he needed to do some reading up on Tom Brady when he said he was backing the Patriots. Brady is one of my all time heroes(if profile pic didn't give that away) and I know pretty much everything about his football career. He has a losing record to only one team in the NFL and thats the Broncos, its not just a losing record but a dismal one at 1-6. Up in Mile High the ball just seems to sail on him a lot, he won there in his only win against them but for the most part he has stunk in games up in Denver. No way I'd touch them in that game.

                                                                              Bengals really need to get me a TD. ;P

                                                                                                    depends if ben plays,steelers think he will play. i tend to avoid the spreads when its 3 or less, only 3 SF games all season have been decided by 3 points or less and they lost two of them and only won the other by 1 point.

                                                                                                    I would give it a miss to be honest as think the steelers will have too much. they know they win this and the division is most likely theirs with the ravens loss

                                                                                                                Looks to be the biggest reverse tease alright. Perhaps the 6's about the Steelers winning by 7-12 points might be of interest? Also on bet365

                                                                                                                  Think there is huge value in the SF -2.5 @ 10/11 on Hill atm. Likely wont be around for long, alot of movement on pinny (they're offering ~1.78)

                                                                                                                  Edit: Serious money obv coming in on SF, pinnacle's line is now -3 @ 10/11 was at -1.5 around 20 mins ago! Someone asleep at the wheel in hills..

                                                                                                                    Gonna trow them at +3 into an accum.
