I saw that and saw you still do not want to speak football. Its about picking a football team that wins, not about winning a debate with the covers crowd. You use to dominate with football talk, trends, matchups, lines, injuries. This year it seems like you are bucking what worked so well for you, but what I really care about is WHY, not the result as much as they have a way to average themselves out. I love to pick brains.
You mentioned a week or 2 ago, you won't do well if Dogs don't and I can totally get behind that. Betting favs all the time in any sport will get someone's bankroll in trouble. So my question is WHY?
SF -6.5
MIN -7
WAS -2.5
LAR -2.5
You went 2-6 in Week 10, 4 of those were favs off spreads that are public centralized, if anything according to the things you say, shouldn't these be NO BETs? I would love to hear from you on this. From needing dogs to win for you to win to taking favs must have some BIG TIME alert that was going off on the games. Your 2 wins this week were CIN +6 and DEN +7.5, this fit your model more. I can actually get behind your IND +4 pick, and take that L with my head held high. The DAL pick was a head scratcher, aside from fading to just fade there, what number did you come up with taking Cooper Rush on an offense already failing to score meaningful points without a true running back tagged on with their recent defensive struggles? Again I want to pick your brain on the process not the result but shouldn't this fall under the NO BET category?
I do not have the chance to put in 80 hour weeks, but I spend enough time on the games. For someone as good as you, and I do read the things you say and track what makes it work and what do not. You might be the only guy on covers I can not figure out why you would Bet a certain team when its goes against what you say works for you. Thats my friend is why I keep asking about how and what makes a play a system go for you.
Week 10
CIN +6- I get this pick coming from you, Divisional rival, DOG! Winner*
DEN +7.5- I get this pick coming from you, Divisional rival, DOG! Winner*
SF -6.5 was such a weird number with Baker not having any WRs, and recent stats must back up the Bucs with the way they been covering games. Fav, loser*
MIN -7 was -4 to -5, once this jump to -7 shouldn't it be a NO PLAY? Fav, loser*
WAS -2.5 I actually liked this bet myself, but again this doesn't fall under your model?
LAR -2.5 This one I was surprise, if you looked and compare their recent games WITH TUA playing and the teams they have played, everything was pointing towards the Dolphins, even the the spread. You said you have this game at -4 LAR, how? Were you counting the stats when Tua was OUT? If so I can understand that and why you picked DAL, but no one should factor in stats with a KEY star player not playing.
