Leaning over 44 but I'm not making it a play

wow good iob  8-0

dont start giving out leans and feelings...

you are 8-0, play only on the picks that you choose... dont increase your picks or scope because you can lose your clarity that way

 

The guy asked me what I thought about the game and I answered him.  It has nothing to do with widening my scope...I had looked over all the games before today and that's what I thought of that game.

good fucking job my fucking friend.

I need a bailout game!

 

If there was such thing as a "bailout game" then everybody would beat the books and there'd be no need for a covers.com

Keep it rollin' !!!!

Let me start by saying I'm not trying to hate.  Really. I'll be completely honest in that I had a horrible day today as well so that may have to do with me posting here on your thread.

So I congratulate you for going 4-0 this week! It's a great accomplishment and I'm sure that nice balance you're carrying in your book brings a smile on your face.

But you have to admit that you were probably sweating at least three of these games if not all four. If those were my picks, I'd be a bit sheepish about them. Let me explain, and again, I'm not hating. I guess I'm just bored and forums make you put yourself out there so I'm just analyzing your plays.

For instance, you needed Indy to fumble the ball with less than two minutes to go and for NY to score a meaningless touchdown to hit the total. You needed Garrard to come back in and McCowan get knocked out to score a meaningless touchdown to Sims-Walker in another blowout with 40 seconds left. You also needed the Lions to come out with a miracle come from behind win with some amazing catches to cover that game in the fourth quarter. Even your Week 1 pick of Miami -3.5 was no good until Buffalo decided to give itself a safety with less than a minute left. Instead of IAMLIQUID I think a good handle would be DWN2THEWIRE! I'm no statistician but I'd be interested to see how often the above scenarios play out on average in a given season of NFL let alone all of your picks in a week.

What I'm trying to say is that you were on the right side of the dirty end-cover. All of us have taken advantage of that from time to time but more often than not I think we've all been the victims as well. I sorta doubt that you factored that into your capping or review of the games...if you did, then I'm truly impressed and I will indeed "stay tuned next week".

I'll give you this though, your plate of games were quite characteristic of Week 2. All that was missing was Houston +2.5.  I will also commend you on your Cincy/NE and Indy/Hou totals from Week 1 that appear to be completely in contrast to what I wrote above - you seem to be sharp on your totals.

I'll be quite frank in that I'm implying that you were more "lucky than good". But if you asked me to choose one, I would always be more lucky than good. I really hope you keep it up because I will be following you now and I will be the first one here to admit that I tailed you on a game I was considering. Bottom line is that you're 8-0 and that is a great accomplishment in capping NFL games. BOL next week and I'd be interested in any write-ups you can provide for Week 3 along with your picks - maybe even why you're leaning on the over for MNF this week?

 

First off, 95% of these games, if not more, are sweated down to the wire.  That's the nature of the beast, Vegas is pretty good with the lines.  If not, we'd all be on the right side more often and a tad bit richer as well.

 

And it's funny you should mention taking into account the nonsensical "meaningless" TDs into my capping because on two occasions here I actually did.  I was talking to a friend on Friday who was big on Philly this week and my exact words to him were, "6.5 points are a lot to be laying on the road, even against the Lions.  Do you really think a young Philly team, with Vick at QB, deserves that much respect already?  I wouldn't be surprised to get a backdoor cover on a meaningless TD in the last minute."  I also figured the San Diego game was going to be a blowout so you knew they'd be throwing late and in that case, anything can happen.  Now, of course I didn't bank on Gerrard getting pulled and coming back in on 4th down because of injury, but who's to say McCown doesn't convert that 4th and Goal at the 3 himself?  It's not like we're talking 4th and 10 from the 34 or even such a major upgrade at QB between Gerrard and McCown.

 

As far as tonight's over, I look at it this way:  San Fran gave up 31 points last week to an abismal Seattle team.  Do I think either Singletery or themselves is going to allow for a repeat of that terror?  No.  But they also aren't playing Seattle this time.  They're going up against one of the most explosive offenses in the league in New Orleans.  They also have a guy named Frank Gore in the backfield who I like to have a monster season from here on out and he's going against one of the most porous run defenses in the NFL.  The over just seems like the way to go to me if you need action on the game, but like I said, I'll just be watching as a fan of football.

IAMLIQUID, thank you for your reply and I apologize if my previous post was calling you out. I see your reasoning now and I have a better appreciation for your picks.

I don't completely agree with everything you said but that's the beauty of sports and sports handicapping - there are different viewpoints to go around. And I definitely appreciate differing viewpoints because I'm usually more wrong than right.  Thanks for your insight into MNF to and I will be checking in for Week 3!

San Fran looking good in that second quarter

 

Not at all my friend, GL to you for the rest of the season
