I have been a member of Covers for about 5 years now, and only post 4-5 times a year. These trollers are bull$h!t. Freak is the main reason I come to this forum. I got killed this weekend tailing Freak and another guy, but I killed it last week following the same guys. I have a weekly bankroll of $500 and a season roll of $2500. I dont gamble more than I can afford to lose. Too many of these guys crying about Freak's pics this week are degenerates. They dont know a thing about bankroll management and go all in on a few bets.
Freak- If you read this I want to tell you I appreciate your insight very much. I hope you will continue to post your thoughts if nothing else. Lets go get it back this week!

I think most people who have been here long enough to distinguish who the real posters are. Don't let the turds spoil it for you. Some bad beats Saturday. Things even out. Back on the grind for week 3. Lets go!

My Week 2 struggles continue to haunt me. I went 6 & 7 on regular plays, 0 & 2 on UDML, and 1 & 2 on "Best Bets" Despite the Week 2 carnage, I still had a chance to squeak out a small profit had Texas Tech won, but it was not to be.
Overall I am now 18 & 11 on regular plays (62.1 %), 4 & 3 (57.1%) Best Bets - which is really bad for me - and 0 & 2 on UDML plays. My weekend was saved by me going a miraculous 6 & 0 on NFL yesterday!
Time to shake off Week 2, and move boldly on to Week 3!!!

I thought you parlayed your BB with every other bet. Shouldn't that result in much more losses? GL jimmy, you are a good capper.
I just know you parlay your reg. Plays with all your best bets, so when the BB don't come through, the bankroll goes up in flames.
I would have to go through all of my plays to tell you how it fell but, after winning all of my parlays in week 1, I lost them all in week 2.
I started the week by winning 3 units on Louisville - a play I didn't post.
Then I bet one unit an all three early plays, plus a one unit 3-team parlay. All were losers. At that point I was down one unit plus vig.
Then I bet 1 unit on my afternoon plays, and I unit on a parlay. Then I had 3 units on my two second half plays - both winners.
Then I bet 5 units on South Florida and South Carolina, and 1 unit on everything else. I meant to bet 5 units on Illinois, but mistakenly only put it in for 1. I lost two more units on parlays. At this point I was down slightly, pending my Texas Tech play, which I played for 3 units. Had Texas Tech hit, I would have been up slightly.
^^^ This is why I hate trying to keep track of units, because it's almost impossible!

This is how my NFL went this week.
I was awakened by phone call from a friend early Sunday morning. He was looking for three NFL picks. At that point I had not even looked at the card. I had no clue who was even playing who. In other words, I had handicapped a grand total of zero NFL games. Anyhow, after looking at the card, I decided to take a flyer on some early games. I went with Tampa, Houston & Oakland - all three winners. That emboldened me to wager on some late games. So I went with the NY Giants, Detroit and New England - again all three covered.
So I handicapped no NFL games whatsoever, wagered anyhow, and went 6 & 0 - something that is almost impossible to do in the NFL. Go figure!!!

62.1% is bad? Holy Moly Jimmy!! - if that's the case, give me "bad" every weekend.
Was dreading coming back to this thread today, because, sure enough, the haters come out.
Just do what you do. I wouldn't dump my Apple Stock for a down year and I wouldn't start fading you.

they once asked jack nicklaus how he handled the mental aspect of opening with a couple of bogeys in a round and if that got him down.....he said it was the opposite....he was glad to get them out of the way. same for your best bets......keep grinding......looking forward to week 3
appreciate all your work

You have much more confidence in Auburn's offense than I do. As for me, I'll have to see it to believe it, because from what I see, their offensive woes will be a season-long issue. I doubt the offense scores in the 40s all season.
Your point about non-offensive touchdowns is well-taken. I think that's what it will take to cover the three touchdown spread today.
So, you thinking about changing philosophy on Auburn yet? This team is going to win some games. It'll be a tough game, but they beat and cover against A&M this week. Home game, defense will be challenged but will do the job, Sean white lead offense will take the momentum and style from Arkansas state and crack A&M.

Great call on the Arky St. game BT!
By sticking with one QB, Auburn was able to run the up-tempo pace that is the lifeblood of Malzahn's offense, so if you're an Auburn fan, that has to be very encouraging. That and some of their inexperienced skill position players are really starting to emerge - particularly guys like Tony Stevens and Kyle Davis. With Sean White at QB, they at least have someone who is a legitimate threat in the passing game, but he is still not much of a threat in the run game - an element that has been a part of every successful Gus Malzahn offense in the past. Overall this is still a very inexperienced group.
We'll get a glimpse of what they look like this week against a conference foe, specifically a John Chavis coached defense. It is clear from Arky St. game that Auburn's offense is starting to find some rhythm, but without a legitimate run threat a QB, I think the advantage clearly rests with Chavis in this matchup. I think this will probably be another week where Auburn's offense struggles to reach the 20-point mark.
Defensively, because their front 4 can effectively pressure the QB, it allows the back end of the defense to play coverage. That makes it very difficult for opposing offenses to hit big plays. That is a tremendous luxury for a defensive coordinator. So I do like for Auburn's defense to hold the Aggie offense largely in check.
In terms of wagering confidence, I really don't have much faith in either team at this point, so this is a game where I will certainly avoid the side. The home field advantage is huge for Auburn, but in the end this seems like a low-scoring coin flip type of a game. I think the final score looks more like 23-20.
