Mid-Week Fades – Week #9

November 5, 2011

Atlanta Falcons -6′ Indianapolis Colts +6′  This should be an automatic play on the dog. Winless teams after week #8 that have failed to cover the previous two weeks are 10-1 ATS and a surprising 7-4 SU. http://sportsdatabase.com/nfl.py/query?sort=ATS_PL&text=week%3E8+and+wins%3D0+and+ATS+streak%3C-1&submit=query The lone loss was the ’91 Bengals. That team was a winless, non-covering machine. They failed to [...]

Sunday Selections – Week #8

October 30, 2011

Steelers +3 over the Patriots  The Patriots stomped the Steelers last year. The Patriots led 23-3 in the third quarter, and that game was IN Pittsburgh. For whatever reason, the Steelers get a shot at redemption on their home field, as this game is in Pittsburgh as well. I’ll take the points with the, um, [...]

NFL – Week #7 – Research and Notes

October 18, 2011

Last week was an unmitigated disaster. 3-5-1 ATS, lowering the season total to 17-14-1 ATS. Having a losing week is not the end of the world, but I was honestly grief stricken. How could I pick out so many losers when most of those picks were based on proven systems? To be honest, I didn’t even [...]

Sunday Selections – Week #6

October 16, 2011

4-0 ATS last week. 14-9 YTD. This week scares me. As I look over the card, I’m falling in love with plenty of dogs. Last year in week 6, teams getting points finished 3-11 SU, and 5-8-1 ATS. This has no bearing on the 2011 card, I know. The favs could go 9-4 ATS this [...]

MNF – Bears at Lions -5′

October 10, 2011

The Lions have problems running the football. Through four games, Detroit has averaged a paltry 3.0 yards per rush and 74.5 yards per game. Good news though! Those numbers might improve against a Bears defense that yields 5.1 yards per rush. I doubt it. Detroit just isn’t very good at running the football. Pounding the [...]

Sunday Selections – Week #5

October 9, 2011

10-9 ATS this year as I struggle with processing what is going on with many of the teams. Are the Bills and Titans going to play like this all year? Are the Vikings and Browns going to play any better at some point? Then there’s Dallas and Philly. I’m not confident about anything, and that’s [...]

Detroit +1 (W) Carolina +6.5 (W) New Orleans -7 (W) Cleveland +1 (L) – not even close. Stupid Brownies Cincinnati +3 (W) Minnesota -1 (L)  - not sure why I keep taking the Vikings St. Louis +3 (L) Pittsburgh +3.5 (L)   4-4 ATS for the early games. I never got around to posting late [...]

Sunday Selections – Week #3

September 25, 2011

6-3 ATS last week, after the week 1 start of 0-2 ATS. Season to date: 6-5 ATS. Week #3 Bengals -1/2 +125 over the 49ers – The first road game for the 49ers this year will not be a sellout. Bengals fans may not be supporting their team, but I am. Because of absolutely horrible [...]
