Biggest Bet of the Year Goes Sunday in the NFL

Let’s make an understatement. If there were a Heisman Trophy winner for sports betting, since 1980, Grandmaster sports handicapper Joe Duffy of GodsTips would have won it 20 or more times.

Sunday, December 14 they have the biggest bet this year and as close as it gets to a true football lock against the Vegas odds. It’s the NFL Game of the Year.

America‘s Greatest, winningest, hottest and most consistent service has had winning weeks 14-of-18 both in the NFL and in college football/NFL combined this season going back to NFL preseason. Among them last week we hit the CFB Game of the Year Florida, Sunday GOY Seattle and Prime Time GOY Carolina.

The best is here today. We have the NFL Game of the Year among three Wise Guy winners. We have seven Majors including two Dandy Dog moneyline plays. So many people beg us for more moneyline underdogs but we keep saying we are so bleeping outstanding with these because we only exploit them when the situation demands. It’s a rare case where we have two.

Oh we are 28-12 with NFL Wise Guy plays, so either bet with us or continue to subsidize the sportsbooks so they can pay us. We win, you decide. Click now to purchase your own piece of Little Green Street as in the color of money.

There are several givens. First off all that OffshoreInsiders.com  CEO Joe Duffy is the top sports betting expert ever. Secondly, his sports betting service GodsTips is the top sports handicapping service of our era. Thirdly is that the NFL is their best sport.

No handicapper dominates any sport the way Joe Duffy’s GodsTips does the NFL. He has more winners than Rick Pitino has ties or Oral Roberts University has Bibles.

Last weekend was one of the greatest performances in sports handicapping annals. GodsTips on Dec. 7 hit with Florida as the College Football Game of the Year. On Dec. 7 it was the Seahawks as the Sunday Game of the Year and on Dec. 8 Carolina the Prime Time Game of the Year—a total sweep.

Nov. 22 Penn State wins as the Big 10 Game of the Year. Nov. 16 the 49ers in a rout were our NFC Game of the Year, fresh on the heels of Maryland our ACC Game of the Year the day before. Nov. 10 our MNF Total of the Year on the 49ers over was easy. On Nov. 1 Temple wins as our Nonconference Game of the Year and California as our Pac 10 Game of the Year! On Oct. 19 the Raiders outright were our AFC Game of the Year. On Oct. 11, it was Florida as our CBS Game of the Year. Oct. 5, the Colts over was our AFC Total of the Year. Monday, Nov. 10 the 49ers over was the Monday Night Total of the Year.

This brought back shades of 2007 when Georgia crushed Hawaii as the Bowl Game of the Year. That made us 20-6 with all Game of the Year plays in college and pro football this year. Most recently we nailed the Bowl Moneyline Game of the Year (Miss State +130 on Dec. 29), Regular Season Game of the Year in CFB (Nov. 22 USC 20-point winner to ASU laying three), NFL Game of the Year (Nov. 11 underdog Arizona beating Detroit by double digits).

Some of the other winners were: On Sept. 20, Miami Florida was the ESPN Game of the Year. Laying -2, they crushed Texas A&M 34-17. On Oct. 4, it was our Thursday Game of the Year on South Carolina -5 to Kentucky. They win by 15. October 13, it Penn State was the Big 10 Game of the Year. Laying seven, they smash Wisconsin by 31. Finally on October 20, we had to sweat one.  Oct. 20 it was Florida beating Kentucky in the SEC Game of the Year. Then on Oct. 27, Tennessee squeaks one out against South Carolina as our Saturday ESPN Game of the Year.  On Nov. 11 our C-USA West Game of the Year on Tulsa, a bloodbath, while Cincinnati was a gift as our Big East GOY. Nov. 17 Kansas was our Big 12 edition and they win easily. But the biggest story of them all was on Nov. 22, USC laying just three points was the CFB Game of the Year. The win by 20!

Gene Chizik getting the Auburn job, Sam Bradford toppling Tim Tebow and Colt McCoy, the Richmond Spiders beating Northern Iowa and Nate Kmic of Mount Union are the big football winners so far. But thousands of GodsTips clients will again be the big winners Sunday.

Tyler Hansbrough is closing in on Phil Ford as the leading scorer in UNC basketball history, but GodsTips passed Bill Tanner as the winningest college basketball handicapper, Jimmy the Greek in the NFL and Pete Axthelm in college football betting within the past half dozen years.
