Phixer there's not much useful I can say, but I want you to know you're straight up the sh$t. So many people think they can do what you do with winning picks: they're dead wrong. So many people think they can offer interesting and though-provoking insight as you do: they're dead wrong too. Only Phixer can be Phixer, and damn is he good at it. I love what you do! Peace.

The guy catches about 300 snaps in practice each week and he cant catch one at his knees? Then when he drops it, instead of falling on it (which he had plenty of time to do. He tries to pick it up and turns his back to the play? What is he hoping to accomplish? Then the ball magically pops into the hands of a waiting state player. Total garbage. People always chalk these things up to human error but I can't accept that. |

It's not a guarantee of success, but it least it puts you in the game. |

Hey Phixer, I'd also love to hear some of your thoughts on why Michigan -7 this week. Does msu 0-6 ats concern you or are we talking a different animal than the NFL? You seem pretty confident with it being a 10 unit play. I'm with you either way, just curious to hear the background of you get any time. Thanks man!

How and why people ignore facts to believe in goofy conspiracy theories is beyond my comprehension. Do a cost analysis on what it would take for baseball player to go through life known for single handedly blowing a playoff game when he is paid 15 million a year. Is Elvis Andrus desperately in need of a quick 100 million? And If someone bribed him they could only place a tiny fraction of that on bets so they would lose money. Next week someone else will talk about another absurdly overpaid pro athlete on the take, and it will again be irrational nonsense. I agree that money would not likely be an attractive offer to many pro athletes making millions, but are there not other ways to coerce people? |

I do see the bigger picture though. I think momentum (Cubs) has a big part. I've played baseball since I was a kid too, albeit nowhere near the level of the majors, but I think dropping a decent throw at waist level when you're not really even thinking about trying to turn a DP or anything like that is almost impossible to do. Maybe he was nervous and jittery since he felt like he'd already screwed up the two previous plays. I'm not trying to pick on him. I don't really care about the errors, I'm just trying to make the point that an awful lot of crappy things happened to the Rangers in that 7th inning and maybe that's not a coincidence. Anyways, whether you think this perspective is crazy or not, humour me and pretend it could be true for a minute. Or, don't even do that much. Reject it completely, but weigh in on the question: which teams would serve the best interest of the MLB? Who do you think they want playing the Cubs on Saturday and who do you think they want in the World Series? |

Mets @ Dodgers
St. Louis has had their turn and America is ready to see the Cubs get a shot at making the World Series for the first time in 70 years. I'm not at all surprised they are in the NLCS. The question is, who is the more interesting opponent? Two big market clubs with interesting stories and players, but certainly the dodgers are higher profile. Kershaw has been denied over and over again in the postseason and greinke has seen his fair share too. This could be the best 1-2 duo in baseball and I think people want to watch them for another round. You also have puig who's a guy MLB would love to see in the spotlight more. Combine the fact that the Dodgers-Cubs matchup seems to be ideal and that greinke is on the hill for LA and I like the Dodgers to take game 5. Thursday Pick: LAD -150 |

From the beginning in the AL, I figured MLBs top matchup would be Toronto-kc. Not really high profile teams, but toronto is the big story since the trade deadline and the royals came ever so close in game 7 of the World Series last year. This is a premiere matchup. With a 3-2 lead in Toronto today, the Rangers defence completely collapsed, and 3 of the 4 AWFUL plays involved Elvis Andrus. Now I'm not looking to determine who is, or isn't, involved in helping to alter the outcomes of games, but I think Andrus makes all 3 of those plays 80-90% of the time. I think 80-90% of little leaguers make the catch that he dropped at 3rd base in bottom 7 to load the bases. Someone santed the Jays to win that game. I felt sure the royals would win the late game too. Royals-Jays just felt like the right fit. Speaking of the royals, do you really believe that they scored 7 runs in the late innings in game 4 in Houston legitimately. Up 6-2 in the 8th and it all melts away without a single out recorded? I'm just saying.

I'm no expert when it comes to sports gambling. I've been at it about 4 years now with very little success. Last nba playoffs I got onto PHIXERs thread through covers and had the blinders taken away for good. I'll never look at sports the same way again. I know he's not always right with his picks, but he's right more than he's wrong, and what he says sure makes a lot of sense to me.
He doesn't handicap baseball as far as I know and maybe there's a reason for that. But I have to say, if I can accept that nba and NFL have the powerful people pulling the strings, I can't see why that wouldn't be the case in baseball too. Anyway, I'm putting this out there to see if we can get some discussion going around who the MLB wants to see in the World Series and as champs this year to help us with a few wagers. I want to start with the two games today and a prediction for tomorrow's Mets-Dodgers game. |

Only 1 game. As you always say Phixer... Money management is #1. If you've been on top of that you're still way ahead this year. Looking forward to rest of picks this weekend. Great work. Keep it up!

Phixer,
I've been thinking a bit about your stance that Vegas controls a lot these games. It makes complete sense to me and I agree, but I'm curious how much you factor in the NFLs need for good storylines and teams that fit certain expectations or roles. When I look at your record of 12-4-1, I see 3 losses and 1 push that are the result of either Brady or manning winning the game or pushing the total too high when Vegas stood to lose on those results. Take away your bets against those two and you're a ridiculous 12-1 right now. The NfL always wants new good teams to emerge and to have teams that have been strong for a while start to fall to keep people guessing but they always seem to let Brady and manning remain the untouchables. My question: how much of a role do you think the NFLs interests play into the results of games? It can't be just Vegas pulling the strings, can it? Thanks for your thoughts. |

Not trying to be disrespectful but I think the record for week 2 should read 6-4. Either way, first two weeks have been amazing. Thanks phixer's!

This means odds makers like the Jets so maybe Indy bettors should beware. Ravens -6, dolphins -6 yesterday. Very tempting right? Both lost straight up to bad teams. See any parallels? I like phixer's take here Jets +6 |

This means odds makers like the Jets so maybe Indy bettors should beware. Something interesting I noticed yesterday before games started... Both Ravens and Dolphins were 6 point favorites on the road against bad teAms. When someone that is a good team is favoured by 6, it's basically begging you to take them figuring they should be able to win by a td at least. This game is even more tempting. Colts are at home (Ravens and fish were not) and are coming off a loss opening week. This looks like easy money on Indy at -6.... The jags and raiders showed is it wasn't yesterday. Now I also thought the pats-bills line was baiting everyone into taking New England and they did win so I suppose you never know, Vegas wants to keep us guessing. But I lean towards phixer's take here. Vegas wants to recover, and that -6 just seems too obvious. I go jets +7 (-125 at my book). Good luck to all |

Phixer,
I need you to know that what you do in this stupid little forum means so much to so many of us. I suppose I can't speak for others, but I know I look forward to checking covers every day, for the picks of course, but maybe just as much for brief glimpses you give us all of what lies beneath the murky and powerful exterior of "the shield". When I used to see weird things happen in games, I'd raise an eyebrow, contemplate it a little, but in a few hours, it would all be forgotten. Now I look at the games through transformed eyes: Eyes that know of the strings being pulled behind the scenes and the many agendas of the powerful. I have begun to expect the unexpected, so long as it fulfills the needs of Vegas or the league. You are firing on all cylinders right now. I know it's early, but your read on every pick so far has been spot on. Do not allow yourself to get sucked into the BS that the losers who represent 5% of your thread posts hope to pull you into. I don't know for sure why you share such well-thought out and valuable information for free, but I think you truly do like to help your fellow man. Don't let a few tormented delinquints with twisted agendas and a seeming desire to destroy anything good, stop you from spreading the thrill and excitement that so many of your readers get from reading you. Look beyond the losers, only acknowledge true fans. If you stick to the business of keeping us informed and entertained in the way that only you can do, nothing will stop you. Thanks for all you do man.

Another quick question for you Phixer (when you have the time). I know when I followed your NBA playoff thread, you often waited until minutes before tip off to post your picks. I remember you talking about wanting to see what kind of last minute money was coming in on each side. Will it be the case for the NFL that you will often use the same strategy? If so, were you using different information or a different strategy for the picks you released earlier this week? Not asking for you to share every detail, but just curious if all your picks are coming from the same angle.
Thanks again for your time.

Phixer,
Followed your nba playoff thread closely and was very impressed - with picks of course (around 70% winners!) but also with your fantastic write ups. Do you find nfl to be as much of a strength for you as nba? Either way I'll be watching closely and likely tailing. Thanks so much for your time, effort, and originality. |
