7-9-2 overall 4-2-1 last week... Hoping to continue a comeback but if not then shit happens:

Bills -3
I think that philly couldnt beat the pats and they won't beat the bills either. I dont mean to oversimplify but I'm gonna do that this week. If you don't like it stop reading now.

Redskins -3
Pats are ruined for now injury wise and they arent gonna be able to stop the mediocre skins.

Dallas +3
I gotta take points in a situation with parcells coming back to his old team. The Jets rot and - not that Dallas is so great now but they have some confidence and a couch who should be able to bring these guys off the bye week pretty well.

Indy -2.5
I havent done much research on this one at all but I like a better team over a no so much better team any day. (???what?)

GB -4.5
same thing. 4.5 is more than I'd like but I'm pulling the trigger anyway.

Take that for a writeup

 

[jaypaw]

I guess people stopped reading early..

 

[jaypaw]

2-1-1 on the day and now it all depends on GB tomorrow to put me up for the week...

I wish I had bought the damn half a point with the skins rather than push but its better than a loss.

record is now 9-10-3 and I'm hoping that GB will put me up another win.

 

[jaypaw]

Keeping my record on the bluegrass picks here just for the sake of it:

Push-Washington (I think the line closed at 3 [I hope])
W-Dallas
W-Colts
L-Arizona
L-Bills
L-SF
Pending-Packers


so this would be 2-3-1 with the pack pending...

was 14-11-1
overall it puts me up to 16-14-2 at the bluegrass in my ass thread (and hopefully 17 when the pack pound cordell tomorrow)

[jaypaw]

I hate to do this but i'm gonna add one on GB at -3 just because i'm getting that trap kind of feeling...

[jaypaw]

Does anyone else get the trap feeling here?

stadium upgrade, reeling packers after losing to zona, rested bears after bye week?

Hopefully its nothing but if the bears pull this off it wont be good for my wallet.

 

[Oren1]

it might be a nail-biter. I bought it to Green Bay -3. Of course the Packers have a chance to outright spank da Bears. GL

 

[jaypaw]

I hope so - best of luck to you too

 

[Hardwaymoney]

If the bears some how pull this out I dont see it going more then a field goal... maybe tease it with the under...green bay should win this by 7 and the reason the number is not higher is that stupid playing the pack did in arizona..

 

[jaypaw]

I hate unders...

I hate teasing too.

I learned both those lessons the hard way.

 

[Hardwaymoney]

I only tease for fun. but not often. I still think the pack is the play.. come on favre monday night...who does the bears have?? korsmell and ulacker...

 

[jaypaw]

haha

thats right - I always forget farve on the big stage... I wonder what his record is on monday night?

 

[Hardwaymoney]

last year monday night in chicago october 7th green bay 34 bears 21.....

 

[jaypaw]

So if I picked up the pack twice does that count as two bets when recording my record?

I know I've seen people do this before but I was never sure if it went over well and was an accurate way to account for the picks made.

Technically if the pack continue the way they are going I will win both of my bets (-4.5 and -3) but is that cheesy to record it as 2 wins??

11-10-3 looks a lot better than 10-10-3

but uh - anyone have an opinion?

 

[GatorESH]

you posted your picks and won them. count 'em IMO.

ESH

 

[Hardwaymoney]

same pick with different line still counts as one... otherwise i could say hey I bet gb at 3.5, 4, 4.5 and teased at +3 i would never count that as 4 wins....

 

[jaypaw]

Good points both of you...

Gator - the fact is I did bet one - and then another. So for me 2 wins. If you were following me (for some crazy suicidal reason) then you would have won both.

Hardway - also a good point and i understand how it skews the record somewhat and makes it look like I won 2 seperate games when really it was just one that I bet on twice (albeit two different lines - for a good reason - I was worried and tried to hedge it somewhat)



I just dont know.

 

[SHACK]

Nice call on the Packers tonight. My fade alert specialist picked the Bears, that's when my bet increased 3 fold. Keep up the good work.

 

[winbet]

Jay,

Its the money in your pocket that counts. By the way, whats your opinion on The Patriots now that they have lost the players who were supposed to make the difference to the run defence and how do you see the rest of the season panning out. Thanks.

 

[jaypaw]

Thanks Shack.

Thanks Winbet.

I'm not gonna count it as two. I feel like I should but I'm not gonna do it. A win is a win and thats it.

I don't mind 10-10-3 at least I'm not still 0-5 like week 1. A little juice is good for the soul.

but hey in the bluegrass thing my record is now 17-14-2 - WOHOO - and it matters why?

- why again didnt I bet all these games?

Winbet - I'm glad you asked about the pats. Watching this game yesterday I got the feeling like the pats should have been flat out killed but I don't know how they managed to stay in the game. Everyone who's anyone was either out or ailing. Especially Brady - he didnt look like he could hit the broad side of a barn at some points. But then I looked at the numbers and see that he threw for almost 300 yds? The D held Ramsey to under 150 yds passing, and though they allowed 2 rushing TDs they still managed to hold Trungdung below the 100 mark - this is without Johnson, Colvin, Washington, and Vrabel...

Maybe the skins arent so great - or maybe Belechick got washington's number in preseason somehow - but however they did it - the fact is they kept it close and probably would have won with a single lucky bounce earlier in the game.

Tennessee however is a much more "proven" team than Washington - YET against the steelers last week they really benefited greatly from the Steelers willingness to "give-away" the ball.

Tennessee got those lucky bounces last week and the pats didnt. The thing I would look for in this game is gonna be whether or not Brady is now worn down. Its possible that last week he was giving his all. The game is in NE...
