SF - Detroit                    Detroit beginning to think there for real.
Colts - Bengals               Bengals  Colts could go all the way 0 and 17.
Buffalo - Giants              Buffalo Not sure here at all.  
Redskins - Eagles           Eagles     Another tough one
Jacksonville Steelers       Steelers  
Rams - Pack                   Pack  Easy Money
Panthers - Falcons          Falcons
Texans - Ravens             Ravens
Cleveland - Oakland       Oakland
Dallas - New England      New England
Saints - Bucks                Saints
Minn - Bears                   Bears
Miami - Jets                    Jets one of the few they will win this year.

For those of you who don't know or remember I did this a lot last year. I list my picks and then place the bets on my picks. I normally lose 4 or 500 bucks a year betting on football but I'm doing better this year. On pace to lose $8oo.

Feel free to tell me where I'm wrong. Being a life long Chiefs fan I hate to bet against them, thank God this week I don't have.  

Am I wrong but I think this week is a very tough week to pick winners. Well come to think of it, if you look at all my picks you could say that "It's always difficult for me to pick winners."

You're only wrong if you lose. Just don't listen to the 'South-American' connection on this site. He had to contact me yesterday when his thumb ran out of solace fsctor lol

I'll start with you're being wrong about my NINERS! LOL. I wish. Take Deeetroit and the puntos.

I couldn't pick my own mother out of a crowd of white people early in the day. lol

but somehow, thanks to your feckless Turtles, the Rangers, and a very narrow half point escape with ASU against a very good, but "LaMichael James less" Oregon Ducks team, I managed to trim my losses down to a couple of grand.

So I guess I live to fight another day.

Bring on the NFL.

I will give you credit, you never had any doubt that the Terps would find a way to blow it, for once I was glad you were right. Tell the Mrs though that her Panthers SUCK. lol

and some of the spreads are formidable.

You style of picking is a bookies dream, It is a virtual guarantee if you pick every favorite, every week, against the point spread, you will lose money every year. lol

but you won't lose money at the rate I was losing yesterday. lol I was picking so bad, did I tell you, I stuck my finger up my left nostril and discovered that every booger in my nose was to be found in my right one?

I think I may go Falcons first half, the Falcons start off with a healthy dose of Michael Turner and then for some unknown reason feel obligated to go the pass, even when the run game is working. I can see the Packers winning by four touchdowns, I am sure I will make several other bets, but those are the only ones that jump out at me. I would strongly suggest you bet the other way. lol

Is there another way? Could I lose more money. Damn hate to miss out on any fun. LOL

You guys kill me! Half the time I have no idea what you are talking about with your bets. I bet with 35 other guys. We have done this for years. It cost 20 bucks a game and each week we submit our picks. I have no idea how the money is paid out except the more winners you pick the better chance you have. The perfect ticket pot is now up to $2,500 plus or minus. It's been won twice, NOT BY ME.

When the playoffs start it goes to one and done in some kind of a pot betting scheme some damn accountant keeps track of it all. But everyone gets to bet on the Super Bowl.

OPS I think the SF - Lions game was a hard one to pick, but maybe Detroit is for real. Don't you just hate it when you have to bet against a team you like. In my case it happens a lot with KC. LOL

The problem with betting every favorite, even without the spread, is that while you will rarely finish at the bottom of the heap, your chances of actually winning are virtually nil.

If you ever get the chance to look, I bet you will find that the winner of the pool each week has some pick in there that defies logic.

and yes I also believe that Detroit is for real, at least as long as Stafford stays healthy, I think he has already played as many games this year as the last two combined. lol

So far I'm 9 - 3 for week 6. Nothing to brag about. But if I look at what I missed, I don't know if I can change any picks.

SF over Lions. It would have been difficult to pick SF. The Lions have been playing so good and the game was really close.

Bills over Giants. I had a difficult time with this one. It was a mistake going with the Giants. But on the other hand I like the Giants. And I hate to bet the Jets to win but I had to this week. I think this is why I lose money betting.  Can't be objective with the teams I like. Lost money on Boston Red Sox also. Probably gonna lose money on the Cards.

Buc over Saints. Give me a break. This kind of stuff shouldn't be allowed.

At least the Swamp Sucking Steelers won and NE (wow, close one). Of course the Pack won, whose gonna beat those guys this year.

which would put you at 10-2, without considering the spread of course.

As for the Cards, I like their chances, their bats are coming alive at just the right time, and their pitching is at least as good as the Rangers.

The oddsmakers seem to disagree with me though (big surprise) the current line has the Rangers at -155 for the series, or roughly translated to about an 8/5 favorite.

I still think the NL is much stronger than the AL again this year, and so far I have seen nothing that has changed my mind. I like the Rangers and I don't think it's going to be a cakewalk, but my money is on the Cards as well. I guess we can go to the poorhouse together if they lose.

BTW although the Steelers and the Pats both won, neither of them covered the spread so betting against them would have been the way to go.

I'm confused most of the time. So I'll overlook your dismay. I had the Bill. Had to go look to make sure. 155, dose that mean you have to bet 155 to win 100.

If were going to the poorhouse together you bring the Scotch. (Not cheep Scotch.) I'll bring the branch water. You can drink it streight even tho it inproper according to all the experts.

With typical "dime Juice" the comeback would be +135 which means you would collect $135 for risking a hundred if you bet on the Cards. The disparity between the two numbers is where the bookies make their money of course.

You better watch out, I am going to make a gambler out of you yet. lol

number 155 in the TER reviews.  If I have to lay her, just checking. She must be 155 years old by now. LOL You lost me on the "With typical "dime Juice" the comeback would be +135". I got 135 to win a hundred, but "dime juce and comeback" um?

You got a ways to go here GA.
