Sunday was a relatively uneventful day around the Tuley’s Takes home office and doing some chores around the house (fixing a doggie gate, cleaning out some cabinets and junk drawers, mostly stuff I’ll never be able to get to when the football regular season kicks off).
We were also watching a bunch of baseball and preseason football, but we didn’t have the success we’re been experiencing lately as we lost our Best Bet on the Cardinals + 6 vs. the Ravens. As I mentioned, the line was as high as Ravens -7. I wish we could say we grabbed it, but we didn’t and I’m sure the majority of our readers didn’t either. It was mostly the wrong side as the Ravens dominated early and led 10-3 at halftime and 24-3 after three quarters, though the Cardinals did rally to make the final 24-17 and give us a little thrill. We also lost our two MLB 1st 5 plays as the Blue Jays trailed the Yankees 2-1 after 5 innings and the Marlins trailed the Dodgers 6-2 after 5 innings. Let’s recap the rest of Sunday’s (full-game) betting results and then look for more 1st 5 plays on Monday (actually, we already gave these out on VSiN’s “The Lookahead” show on Sunday night at 10:15 p.m. ET/7:15 p.m. PT, or 15 minutes into the archived version.Sunday’s recaps
