 That really does it explain it, Packers are young team and still make many mistakes but they always get corrected. Nine extra coaches would make a HUGE difference and explains most of all the Jets issues in a nut shell.

 Makes you wonder, you just taught me something! Thanks

@TJZags598

 Your right on - Take a look at the Packers and M. Lefluer, who I happen to think is one of the best coaches in the league. Andy Reid is good and has plenty of experience but I would NOT trade M.Lefluer for A. Reid. No disrespect to Andy, but Matt is as good as they come. Another coach that I like is S. Payton. He took what the Jets threw away in Z. Wilson and proved that this kid was a solid Q.B. Granted he is 3rd string but I believe he could be a starter on many N.F.L teams. The Jets never gave Wilson a decent shot and that is precisely what your talking about. COACHING and the lack there of on the Jets football team .

You have correctly identified what I was talking about with many less words! Thank you.

I have just got to say this, maybe I am just getting old and finicky.

Everyone, from what I have read, like Ben Solak of ESPN is convinced that the Jets bringing in Devante Adams is their ticket to a Super Bowl! Has everybody lost their mind but me? Or am I the only one who lost his mind? If you think bringing in Devante Adams to the NY Jets equals a Superbowl, your out of your mind.

The NY Jets are a bad football team plain and simple. Their execution is horrid. Everything from the Offensive line to the much talked about Defense. Just on defense alone in the last two games there has been at least 6 pass interference calls. In one game, three where caused by there star "Sauce" who ever.

Then we get to the O.C issues, I don't care what anybody says, the O.C should not be in the NFL period. The first game without him they lost, but THE play calling improved BY a 1000% but the Jets lost that game because of penalties, poor blocking execution and bad defensive execution. Devante Adams is a great player no doubt, but he can't fix all that. Rogers can't pass laying on his back!

Here is some hard truth for Ben at ESPN and the rest of you dreamers, Rodgers and Adams played together for 7 years with NO SUPERBOWL! The Packers had plenty of receivers with that duo and still no Superbowl.

Then there is Rogers himself, who is a self centered human. He proved that by going to Egypt instead of mandatory Mini Camps this year. What kind of message does that send to the younger "very good" players? What does that say to the O.T who gets paid a 1/10 of what Rodgers gets to protect his a**? I bet that O.T would block just a little better for a guy who was there sweating it out in mini camp with him, then a guy who thought he was to good to bother coming! Rodgers absence has bought him no respect.Shannon Sharpe eluded to what I am saying a couple days ago, and Devante can't fix that either.

With or without Adams makes no difference, the only answer for the Jets football team is to get in the film room and fix the mistakes. Forget about the damn super bowl and just figure how to get first downs. This team has a lot of work to do before they can even win a football game, let alone a Super Bowl. 

It hope it works out for the Jets fans, hopefully the new play caller keeps up what he did last game and they get some momentum going.

@Punkassmutha

 I wish I was as confident in this opener. New offensive line, down to one decent running back. New Defense. I expect the Packers will struggle the first few games like last year until the o-line begins to produce result. Good luck with your brave picks!

@Ih8coldweather

 Good luck with your pick on the Super Bowl. However I would like to caution you on this game with San Francisco. Rogers I don't believe has ever had a good game against the 49ers and doubt seriously that after being out of action for over a year, along with no pre-season play that he will have a good game against the 49ers. In my humble opinion the only way the Jets have a shot in this game is to run the ball and run all day long and keep the ball out of Rogers hands as much as possible...at least in the first half anyway. Plus I have serious doubts regarding the Jets O.C.

Good Luck

@dubz4dummyz

 Point taken. STLcoach and I have communicated and we are the same page. I thought he was "solely" relying on A.I which was incorrect on behalf.

All well, thanks

 I understand my "writing grammar" sucks pretty bad. Kinda like "grey hair" ya can't really change it. It is what it is.

@Hephaestus

 I do the same thing but not sure if this falls into A.I or what, but same thing, I use it for tool!

 Good for you! I so glad to here that! I'm happy now. Thank you

@STLcoach

 Covers been around a long time. So, I have. I don't know who all died for you to be able to make the claim "Covers All Time Record". But I will tell you that is probably an incorrect claim!

I ran 62% last season. Had posted these picks until being locked out of "Covers" for unkown technical reasons ( unkown at least to me) At the time of being locked out I was at or over 62%. NOW TO BE SURE, I am not laying the claim of being the best or even any where close to that. There is a poster currently this year, who's record exceeds what you just posted or what I ever done. Further more I don't even follow everyone's record, just a couple here and there. There is bound to be more posters who "pay more attention" will echo "some" of what I am saying which is simple:

#1) A.I AT 61% does not impress me at all. #2) You will never convince me A.I is better then my brain for betting sports, #3) A.I is a path to suicide for all humans if we embrace this without merging "God Law" into A.I thinking. Since God claims to be the single source of all knowledge, makes that a stupid option. We already have A.I except it is not artificial. 

I'm an old man with limited brain capacity, but I have great "Vision". A.I scares the living crap out of me for so many reasons, this would turn into book, as opposed to a post if I listed them all. We need to as society reject A.I in it's current form because there is serious, serious issues with A.I. That includes Covers, we need to keep this dedicated to Men and Woman. Who have used their brains and give them reference for their knowledge as opposed to A.I. Lets keep this place real with real people. F**k A.I

@bets2win

 I made 5 picks earlier in the week after taking sometime off. Some people where struggling with "fixed game" thoughts, so I thought I help them out a little. All 5 are on your list - Green Bay, Jets, Jacksonville, Minnesota & the Rams!  

@bets2win

 Great Work!!

Could not agree more. Pathetic and nothing less.

@DefenseWinsSB

 You can dump the 54-55% which I think is low anyway, but 70+% which not possible. Only way to escape the I.R.S is through a local street bookie. There is no way possible to wager and win on-line....consistently anyway. Everything you do is reported to the I.R.S. Your screwed win or lose. Sorry, Gambling loss's can't be written off either.

The only answer that I know of, is a reputable local bookie.
