Shumpty’s Punt: Best Bet 16/12/13

The Sunday Night Football game in the US pits the Cincinnati Bengals against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Pittsburgh. The Bengals come into this game having won three straight games by an average of 14 points per contest and possess a 9-4 record. They can lock down a finals spot with a win today and some other results falling their way. The Steelers have had a season to forget and possess a decimated offensive line that has led to talismatic quarterback Ben Roethlisberger being sacked 39 times (tied for 3rd worst record in the league).

The Bengals defence has allowed 135 plays of 10+ yards which is the fewest in the NFL whilst the Steelers have only been able to reel off 142 such plays which is the 4th worst in the league.

All of this leads me to the view that the Bengals will win this game and will cover the points spread of minus 2 points with some ease. At $1.91 the return is limited but this represents my bet of the day.

Bet: Cincinnati Bengals to cover the line (-2.0 points) against the Pittsburgh Steelers in the NFL.

As always: please gamble responsibly.

Here is today’s multi coming out of sport in the United States:

Leg 1: Brooklyn Nets to cover the line (-1.0 points) against the New Knicks in the NBA.

Leg 2: San Jose Sharks to defeat the Pittsburgh Penguins in the NHL.

Leg 3: St Louis Blues to cover the line (-1.5 goals) against the NY Islanders in the NHL.

Leg 4: Jacksonville Jaguars to cover the line (+3.0 points) against the Houston Texans in the NFL.

Leg 5: Miami Heat to cover the line (-4.5 points) against the Chicago Bulls in the NBA.

This multi should return $33 per dollar invested.

As always good luck and good punting.

Shumpty’s Punt: the Monday Multi

It is Sunday in America and that means American Football is the focus. Sunday night football pits the undefeated Kansas City Chiefs against the Denver Broncos. Bizarrely the Broncos have been installed as very short priced favourites. I have anchored my multi around the Chiefs covering the line in this game which I think is the bet of the day. It is only a 3 leg multi but I am quietly confident we will be on the money with this one:

Leg 1: Memphis Grizzlies to cover the line (-2.0 points) against the Sacremento Kings in the NBA.

Leg 2: Minnesota Wild to cover the line (-1.5 goals) against the Winnepeg Jets in the NHL.

Leg 3: Kansas City Chiefs to cover the line (-7.5 points) against the Denver Broncos in the NFL.

This multi will pay around the $9.50 mark for every dollar invested.

As always: please gamble responsibly and good luck!
