BAL -3.5

NE -9.5

NYJ +3.5

ARZ +10

KC +3.5

This week's picks are BAL -4.5 and NYG -3.5.  The system says that Baltimore should only win by 3 but because the system has never been right for this team the pick will be Baltimore.  The system says that the Giants should only win by 2 points against the Steelers but the Giants are favored by -3.5.  We have to go against the system once again and say that the Giants will win and cover. 

Hi Guys,

Sorry it has taken so long to get back to everyone.  Work has been hectic and I've been pressed for time.  The spreadsheets for this week are finished and I will be e-mailing them to the people who inboxed me shortly.  The pick of the week will be PIT -5.5.  The system says that Pittsburgh should win by only 2 points and has been wrong on games involving Pittsburgh every single week this season.

New England decided to ruin the 0 wins streak this week but the other 2 came through.  So the remaining teams with 0 system wins so far this season are Pittsburgh and Baltimore.  The Jaguars moved up to 4 system wins tied with the Broncos at the top of the system wins list.  If you bet with the system this week you would have lost your bankroll.  There were only 3 wins that the system predicted correctly.  So as it stands so far this season...

DEN, JAK: 4 system wins

HOU, KC, MIA, MIN, NWO, SD, SF, TB, TEN: 3 system wins

ATL, CAR, CHI, DAL, DET, GB, IND, NYJ, OAK, PHI, SEA, WAS: 2 system wins

ARZ, BUF, CIN, CLE, NE, NYG, STL: 1 system win

BAL, PIT: 0 system wins

The Picks this week will be:

HOU -6.5

NE -10.5

PIT -3.0

Let's see what happens

I have been using this system since 2009 and it wasn't until this year that I decided to put my own spin on it and there have been some interesting results.  I usually don't start using this system until about week 7 because it entails plugging in the points for and points against for the first 6 games of the season for each team playing that week.  After that you calculate the average points for and average points against for the teams that are facing each other that particular week.  You also remove the highest points for and lowest points for and highest points against and lowest points against for the teams facing each other.  You would then add the average points for, for the visiting team to the average points against for the home team and subtract 20.5 from that number.  This gives you the projected points that the visiting team is going to score.  You do the same thing with the home team (add the average points for, for the H team to the average points against for the V team and subtract 20.5).  This will give you the projected final score of the game.

Since there hasn't been 6 games played yet this year I have been skipping the part where you eliminate the highest and lowest points for and highest and lowest points against for each team facing each other and have just used all points for and points against.  The system has not worked well at all so far this year with a record since week 2 of 30-44 but it has predicted some pretty good upsets.  The problem is the inconsistancy and not knowing when it will actually work for the team that may or may not come through with one of these upsets.

I have to restart the computer I'm on right now so I'll be back to tell you the rest of this system story in a moment.    

These are the picks I have going on for tonight!

I'm in training right now to be a life insurance agent.  I just passed my L.L.Q.P. exam and I'm going to write the provincial exam in about 3 weeks.  After that I'm going to get my mutual funds license.  I'm learning so much about this business right now and I'm pretty stoked about starting to help people prepare for their future.

That's what the investments are for.  Now, when I'm young, I need all of this coverage to take care of loss.  With the investments and money strategies that I'm implementing now I'll be self insured by the time the 20 years is up and won't need a policy hence avoiding higher premiums and shorter allowable terms.

I usually don't post here but I wanted to tell you guys that you are making the smartest moves by getting term insurance.  I have a 20yr term policy and I invest the difference of what it would have cost me to get a whole life policy.  I bypass the low return of 4% that the banks would give me and will most likely end up with a 10-12% return on my money.  The rule of 72 says to divide the interest rate you expect to get into 72 and that's how many years it will take for your money to double each time.  With a 10-12% return my money will double every 6 years.
