I am not saying this because I am not an eagles fan. They are my 2nd fave team behind my losing niners, but they did get lucky that ramsey decided to throw an interception while they were in FG range to at least try and tie the game.
Another reason they are lucky is because I didn't think the Eagles would cover the spread of -9.5, but I thought for sure they were at least going to win, so I played the ML at -450.
Normally I never play ML over -200, but I had no thought it would be that close.
Anyways, I'm happy, I collected my $100 for the game and ended up $80 in profit for the day.
Either way you look at it you're risking $400 but I would definetly stress more betting a huge ML like that. I mean, you're putting up $400 just to win $100. On the other end, I would stress less risking $400 on a +200 underdog. Maybe it's just a Psychological thing :P
