Game: Giants @ Vikings
Time: 1:00 PM EST
Line: Giants -3
The title of this thread contains the famous words each contestant would frequently say before hitting their button of a wildly popular 80's game show called 'Press Your Luck'.
On a monopoly type board, many squares contained cash and prizes while several contained whammy's which brought you to zero if you hit the button when a lit square was contained one. Then a cartoon whammy might come out as a celebrity/jester doing a moonwalk over your cash total like MJ as your amount went to zero.
Here's a clip:

One man, Michael Paul Larson, saw a pattern while he was watching at home. He then took 6 VCR's (quite expensive at the time in the mid-80's) and 6 TV's and recorded every show he saw. After that, he watch all six TV's and realized the algorithm that was used to 'randomly' light the squares repeated itself quite quickly and wasn't random at all. He mapped the pattern on paper and memorized it.
I can tell you even after watching this show hundreds of times, I saw a hint of a pattern but never believed anyone could track it and memorize it like Larson did.
Well then, what's the next step? He had to get on the show to do something about it! Back in the 80's only about 50 people a day applied in person at the studios for Press Your Luck and they usually took 1/2 people a day. Pretty good odds and not worse than today's job market applicant field!
Guess what? They put him on the show.
Now he was in the position to execute his master plan....
And execute it he did!!! 
On his first spin, he was so nervous and out of sync, he actually 'whammied'...
But Larson regained his composure...and the beauty of this game is that your turn is never-ending....If you hit the BIG BUCKS square...which contains the highest cash value on the board in addition to a free spin!
Larson went ballistic on the show and managed to 'legally cheat',
and the host nor the show could do anything about it in front of a studio audience...
The host actually almost wet himself in the process Larson's run, not believing you could evade the whammy that many times and probably had to do a pants change in the middle of all this...
The result?
$110,000+ in cash and fabulous prizes!!!!...a RIDICULOUS amount of money at the time for a game show winner...
Give yourself the pleasure of watching this genius in action:

Now you might be asking yourself, "Why the fuck is he telling me all this shit about an 80's game show I never heard of and what the fuck does this have to do with the Giants/Vikings game this Sunday?"
Good question!
I'll tell you.
Michael Larson had a plan of action. And executed it to perfection. Before he went on Press Your Luck, he knew exactly when to hit that button to land on the Big Bucks square...Every...single...time.
I have the plan of action with the New York Giants. And I know when to hit that "Place My Bet" with a mouse click when it comes to this team.
Earlier this year, I gave you the one and only Play of the Year with the Giants -7 vs. Carolina :

Final...a comfortable cover with a 31-18 win
Before that, I implored you to bet big on them in a meaningless preseason game vs. the Jets...
https://www.covers.com/postingforum/post01/showmessage.aspx?spt=21&sub=100820178
An easy Giants 31-16 win...
My point? I don't care about wins/losses/units on this site. All I'm telling you is that I know when to drop some timber with the Giants...moreover, when to cut down a fucking forest with 'em when the opponent is ideal.
This Sunday, the Vikes have taken the road less traveled and a big fucking redwood is about to be dropped on Favre's ass.
