Couldn't agree more. Well said Luke. Tampa's hurting in a bad way right now, but somehow Tim Marcum has this way of pulling these games out of his ass. I believe if the game gets ugly, Tampa can win... but if Tampa tries playing this "pretty" game against New Orleans, including deep ball and such, Andy Kelly will destroy them. When Clif Dell is your best WR, you have issues... and I think you realize that, Luke. I'm never sad to see Tampa struggle, but seeing Tampa struggle due to injuries isn't something I want to see. I wanna see you guys at relatively full strength when we play you all again. Fair fight on both sides.

I have and will continue to tip my cap to Pinny with this game. Great line set. Anywhere between about 5 and 7 would've been perfect.

AFLGuru, keep up your work. I appreciate it. I am amazed at how much Pinnacle has moved the lines off of their opening numbers. Every week I watch my computer around noon on Tuesday to get the opening numbers. I played a little Philly when it opened at -2, that looked real good. It is up to 7 now.

Thinking about teasing up Tampa but New Orleans has looked solid so far.

Opinions on teaser plays?

interesting seeing all the new voices suddenly coming in and running some interference to confuse the afl issues.guru you must be hurting someone cause i think theres a purpose behind some of the actions here. beware.as for LVSC ive spoken to ken white many times who owns it now and bob scucci at the stardust and its true lvsc is a consulting firm who sets thier lines for others to follow. but if they have a soft line lvsc suffers no financial loss. all the risk is taken by the books who set the lines,scucci has his own handicappers who adjust those lines accordingly. i cant speak for pinnacle. anyway im monitoring whatshappening here guru and following your plays. hows guruchick?~RG

OK Guys, I am gonna make this as clear and concise as i can, and this will be the last warning...



AflGuru, BigBenGodsend,Brownsfan31, and Budworth22 are ALL POSTING from the same ip address, at Florida State University.....

Even though their locations say pittsburgh, cleveland and florida, they ARE ALL POSTING from the same IP Address....This IS NOT AN AOL MATCH, these are THE ONLY 4 POSTERS that match this IP ADDRESS....

WE HAVE NO COINCIDENCE HERE.....

Therefore you guys need to handle your pissing match AWAY FROM OUR FORUMS, and with each other......

You are each welcome to continue posting here, however the GAMES STOP NOW.....

YOU CAN EACH CONSIDER THIS YOUR FINAL WARNING.....

THE NEXT ONE THAT BASHES IN OUR SPORTS FORUMS, OR CALLS THE OTHER ONE NAMES, OR COPIES THEIR THREAD, ETC. IS GONE....

Not sure what you were trying to accomplish by acting up, and asking to ban each other, and whatever, but it ENDS HERE....

HOPEFULLY, each of you will heed this warning, and continue to CONTRIBUTE here in a positive fashion, and you are welcome to do so...

But the childish games, and name calling, and bashing STOPS NOW...

Best of Luck to the "4 of you"

Again, I feel obligated to post here about all of this... I am so sorry about all of this. I wish I knew all along that BrownsFan was my roommate. I really do. I had no clue. None of us are on speaking terms at the current moment, as I am oh so very pissed that they have ruined my thread for me for two weeks now. I hope I can keep the respect of this board as a capper, as I will continue to do my best in capping the AFL. I accept no apologies from them until I get the apologies from all of my peers on this board, the people that truly respect the game and gambling and aren't here to try to get under my skin. I urge you all to avoid them at all costs from here on out. I don't blame any of you if you don't believe me, though. All I can do is hope that you all find which one of us is the serious capper, and which are trying to do everything to piss the good guy off. They are obviously jealous of the thread in which I have made so popular and I hope they never chime in here again.

My sincerest apologies once again, not that I know if it makes much of a difference. You don't know how sorry I am about all of this right now.

Best,

As reported by ArenaFan, Henry Douglas is out with a groin injury and headed to IR. That being said, Jermey McDaniel is his backup... and he's torched Orlando in the past. Raymond Philyaw considered "doubtful" and is likely to go on IR as well, leaving Todd Hammel at the helm this week. Ask Joe Germaine what happens to backup quarterbacks against Orlando....

AG - I'll be looking for your teaser calls also. I'm thinking that after these line moves, it might be best to narrow down the best choices for that 2 team 7.5 point teaser Pinny offers.

I'm thinking- Philly pk and Orlando 101....????




Thanks!

Upon going back and reading this, I left out an important word... I mentioned that I accept no apologies from my roommates until I get the apologies from you all... I obviously didn't mean I was waiting for you to apologize... Waiting for you all to accept my apologies if they are coming. Sorry about all that... I can see how that might have made a bad situation worse...

Hey Guru , No Appologies Are Necessary , Anyone Who Has Followed Your Threads And Picks Knows That You Command Respect From Me And Anyone Else On This Site . For A Young Guy In College You Are One Smart Capper . Your Insight Into Some Of These Games Read Like You Have Been Doing This For 30 Years , Like Me , As I Hate To Admit I'm A Senior Citizen Now . Ha Ha . Just Keep Up The Good Work And Ignore The Jealous Ones That Don't Have Your Knowledge Of This Game . Good Luck This Week End With Your Picks. I'm Just Waiting On The Lines To Go Up Here In Vegas To Make My Picks, It Still Amazes Me On The Amount Of Line Movement In Some Of These Games . When Do You Think They Will Get A Handle On This Sport ???? Hopefully Never . But I Have To Respect Pinnacle For Being The First Up With The Lines . I Hope The Don't Pit Themselves Out Of Business By Taking The Chance Of Being First.

First of all, it is possible for housemates to have the same IP address if it is from the same source.

Second, all Guru ever did was post his opinions. He never promised winners, he just posted his thoughts.

So I do not understand the bashing.

Finally, stay away from Riggs. It is just a matter of time before he is a banned for something or other. Oh, and he is a horrible capper.

I'm going to let that last comment about my "fifth roommate" go...

Thanks Tommy. I appreciate it... I just woke up from about a 3 hour nap that I so desperately needed and saw a ton of line movement that concerns me a bit... I'll get on the info at hand and see what's up.

Back in a few.

djcrow -

you above all else should understand all the bashing! you are the queen of bashing. The Guru got caught! Plain and simple. Should we torture him for it? No! But he needs to thank his lucky stars that he's still here, and get back to work! As for having the same IP address on 4 different computers, it's not possible. That's why everyone knows he's full of Sh*t. But this site needs him to be a man, not the 19 year old he is, and suck it up and get back to capping winners! As for you djcrow, do what YOU do best and start BASHING some more of our GOOD cappers! You're WORTHLESS energy is second to none!

Riggs, stay in your own threads please. Guru doesn't want you in his. I'm sure he will stay out of yours also.

Thanks

Orlando game is currently offline... I'm working hard to see if this has something to do with an announcement about Philyaw. If someone sees information, please let me know.

I've said my piece, I think what you have asked is fair. You won't have to ask me twice.
