Philly -1.5
Line is all over the place but crappy weather in NJ is never good for Eli. Philly owns the GMen in December so this line is way too low. Philly is the pick.

Now for some Real Football Sports Betting
I'll give you guys a little update as I know a few of you anti-homers will want to bet against the U.S. in the next world cup. Anytime you do sports betting you want to be informed. So, to keep those of you out of the loop somewhat in it... here's some real football news...
Sascha Kljeinsteins (however you spell it) has a hot girlfriend. A lot of countries, Brazil recently have differed on the role sex plays in an athlete's performance. Some suggest it enhances it, some think it burns too much energy. If Sascha makes the team and if sex is a good thing, I'm sure he'll be bringing his lady friend to South African and getting healthy and prepared for the match. Even though he's been playing pretty bad of late, she'll probably get him back to the top of his game in no time. Wonder if they did any studies about the burdens of a high maintence woman on an athlete's performance. She's probably already tiring of his MLS salary.
Landon Donovan, who recently underwent a separation and maybe a divorce from his beautiful TV star wife may get signed by Premier Team Everton which means as an American I'd have to root for the guy in all EPL matches but two (I pull for their same city derby rivals Liverpool). This is kind of like being a UNC fan and rooting for NC State because a local kid was playing there. I'm going to feel sleazy doing it... and hope he scores three in every game but loses four-three. Actually that doesn't work because he'll joining American Tim Howard on the team, and I don't want Howard giving up goals so I'm really in a bind.
If this happens it's HUGE for LD and the national team. He needs some stiffer competition. This is a top 25 to 30 club in the world--and a place where I think he'd shine. He's really a top 25 to 30 player in the world even if the international and snobbish-if-you-don't-play-in-Europe-you-can't-play-press doubts him (see Americans about international basketball players and the NBA if you want to relate).
There is a fear among American soccer fans that in advance of England-USA's first round game in the World Cup that the Premier League Coaches will let our players rot on the benches. Everton will sign Donovan and destroy his confidence and form by sitting him every game. Suddenly, Clint Dempsey who has been carrying Fulham will be carrying the luggage to and from the bus and not get out of his warm-ups. Promising Jozy Altidore who is getting time at Hull City will stop getting time. Etc, etc. It's an interesting premise. It will certainly give Freddy Adu a new excuse for his Damon Bailey type career.
For those keeping track since our great run at the Confederations Cup we've had promising star Charlie Davies barely survive a car crash that killed a girl, hulking defender of American Soccer and AC Milan signee Gooch blow out his knee, Jay DeMerit and Jonathan Spector (two other impressive defenders who play in England) have battled injuries and several other guys stumbled on their club teams. Son of U.S. serviceman and former German National team player Jermaine Jones, now considered an American by a new Fifa ruling celebrated his eligibility by getting hurt too, yeah, this guy will probably start from day one if he gets healthy.
As dire as things have gotten... we still get out of the group of average along with England. If we get over the shellacking they lay on us... 3 nil at least, they are are going to come out firing guns blazing and we'll be overmatched in game one. But there is hope for the US to get to knockout stage. It's six months away and already I'm excited.

Tiger, Tiger, Tiger Woods, Don't Bet on Him but Bet on the Saints
Yet another road game for the Saints... Yet another double digit spread for the undefeated favorites. Atlanta is a divisional rival that beats the Saints when they shouldn't and have had their number for years.
That being said the turf toe on starting quarterback Matt Ryan and the high ankle sprain on starting running back Michael Turner are two of the worst types of injuries for their positions. Quarterback has to throw effectively and a turf toe is brutal for that. Running back has to be able to cut and obviously a high ankle sprain doesn't help. Then throw in an offensive line that is decimated with injuries leaving both these battered players vulnerable.
The Saints got over their Monday night hangover, anointing themselves as champions before the playoffs and the redskins attempt to "crown" them. The Saints will cruise over the Falcons. I don't like that the Iggles just crushed ATL because they should have a little more fight in em. We saw the Giants last week, a team left for dead, find some vigor vs. the Cowboys and that could happen here, but more likely the Saints pin 40 on the defense that used to be. They only had to replace 6 or 7 key guys from last year.
If the Falcons were an injury, they'd be a leg hanging on by skin after a landmine explosion. This team lacks cartilage, bone, and muscle. A gimme. Take the Saints and the big spread and sleep easy Saturday night. Granted Matt Ryan and Michael Turner turn up healthy on the Falcons offense and this could be a game, but unless the Flukeins are doing a little Beli-cheating and angle shooting this is not likley to happen. Everything that is being reported is these guys are not likely to play.
Last week I gave you two gimmes and two terrible picks. Vikes and Saints were bad, the Saints struggled for all the reasons I listed (and I still picked them--dumb), the Vikings had a letdown, and Arizona woke up (again) and remembered they still have the talent that took them to the Superbowl. I also banged the WVA-Rutgers game out of the park and told you Miami would win outright vs. New England. That should have been my Lock of the Week... home dog instead of homer pick (okay quasi-homer pick) with the Saints. Home underdogs are generally safe bets, making Road favorites bad bets. Going against conventionally wisdom I bet on the road favorite instead of the home underdog. Next I'll be betting favorites in the first round of the NCAAs.
This week isn't a homer pick. I've done my due diligence, I'm green lighting it, fire up your sports betting accounts and put a little money on the black and gold.
Now... time for a Tiger Woods video. There is some part of me that feels bad for the guy, then there is another part of me laughing at that part of me. He has everything, everything, have you seen his wife, well apart from her being disgustingly ugly, he had everything. If you are bad at detecting sarcasm, I was being sarcastic.
Please don't blame it on the alcohol, Tiger...
By the way... I like Hot Clicks on Si.com... Don't think Tiger would blame it on the alcohol as he seems to be a borderline Ambien addict. His mistresses talk about it, sounds like he was driving on it, and there has to be some concern the guy could pull a Heath Ledger Andy now that he is cooped up in his private yacht named Privacy.

Hoops lock of the day
Your choice. Portland -3.5 or the Over 201 in NYK/Portland game. Portland gets 96 a game, Knicks will up that by about 7-9 easily while gunning themselves. Knicks give up 108 while scoring 104 a game.
Also, Knicks played yesterday and are 0-5 in back-to-backs so far this year.

Dallas -1.5
Lock of the week: Dallas -1.5 @ NYG. Did Vegas even see the Thanksgiving turd the GMen dropped? This line is way off.
Patriots -5 @ Dolphins
Patsies get back on track -- and so do I.
Aints are in town this week and I'm skipping the slaughter. Would love to see us keep it respectable but this could get ugly. Grass and cold weather is all we have going for us -- along with nothing really to lose.
I say Hail to the Redskins today, but I shall be cheering for the Saints the rest of the way out. Would be nice to see them make a Supa Beux run.
Who dat?

dead
cyberleague on its last breath. someone call time of death already. asking for standings is like talking to a wall...or maybe liek talking that chick Christine Sanders from UR.
picking a game anyway, & screw it I'll take a big game. give me the semis of national champ....bama +5 1/2.
picking a game anyway, & screw it I'll take a big game. give me the semis of national champ....bama +5 1/2.
What are the Standings?
Just curious... I've been on a bit of heater and wondered if that brought me back to .500 and that's probably good enough to be Ker-rushing this piss poor league of game selectors. Today, I'm anxious about the United States inevitably drawing the group of death in the World Cup Selection show. I set my Tivo to record it and it's like three hours long. Since when did a powerball show last more than a commercial.
This will probably make CBS annual bore me to tears selection show look riveting. Fortunately for me in terms of picking you guys are the exact opposite of the group of death. If we were doing eliminations or some sort of monetary prize you might as well replace ya'lls name with the word bye.
This week I didn't look at the games and have one jump out at me. That's not true a couple of days ago I did, and now I don't. I've contemplated banging the Saints but in most years this game is the perfect recipe for a let-down game. I don't know how many times I've said that about the Saints this year, trap game, let-down game, looking ahead on the schedule game, and they always seem resilient.
Still, I'm scared because DC has played well of late and play solid, solid defense. I don't think they can score enough offensively to stay in the game but if Brees and company think they have a cake walk ahead of them, it's a bad bet. However, you got to figure there is value in taking the Saints -10. Play that game 100 times and you have to figure most outcomes have them winning by two touchdowns or more.
Maybe I will pick the Saints.
Where's Aaron Rogers when I need him? Green Baby have a bye this week (like me every week).
Miami... I kind of like them to win outright. They are a dog at home to New England? Value in betting Miami too. Again play that game 100 times and you have to think Miami covers the 4 points more times than they don't. New England has yet to win a road game and are also coming off a Monday night tilt.
How many winners can one guy dole out in a week? Here's another one Minnesota -3 at Arizona. Arizona hasn't won a big game all year at home. That's not going to change when the explosive Vikings hit town. All Day Adrian Petereson runs roughshod over the Cardinals like it's the old NFC East again. Neil Lomax where are ya? Oh, is that you in Matt Linert's uniform.
Incidentally, there are two things you guys need to be reading. One, this interesting blog about handicapping NFL games and the element of luck in the NFL. It's actually quite fascinating. And this other guy's blog applying that to poker (scroll down it's a multi-parter). Put into context it really justifies why there are no "locks" even in skill games.
It's also fascinating to see the distribution of records in the NFL if games were decided only by luck--and how not too far different it would look than the league today.
But who am I going to pick this week?
None of the college games jump out at me besides WVA Rutgers and that's glowing like a cartoon toe that just had an anvil dropped on it. Something must be amiss with Rutgers a favorite in that one. I like West Virgina to win by a touchdown or more. I kind of like the 6 points one of the online sites is giving Alabama, but Auburn proved just how vulnerable that team is, so I'll avoid that game. It could get ugly fast, and I have no idea how good Florida really is.
Hmmm...
I guess that limits my picks to the Aints (again), Miami, or Minnesota. Two are road games, don't like that. Miami is a home underdog... like that. Ah, screw it I'm taking the Saints.

Roll the points over, roll the points over...
The pick of the week is New Orleans/New England over 56.5 on MNF. Saints have trouble with stopping the rush, New England won't be able to contain the passing game. It all should lead to an over.
My Pimp Hand is Strong
Why waste time...
Houston +3 -- Houston wins this game outright and the JuiceMan's calling it. Indy's been dying for a loss and Texans are happy to oblige today
As my boy LL says, "Don't Call it a Comeback, I've Been Here for Years"
Stay Thirsty My Friends

Betting Football Spreads, Go With What You Know
Or go with the flow, or go with the ice floe, or keep taking what you been raking, or once you back the pack don't go back. Last couple of weeks in sports betting I've taken Green Bay and this week was going to be no different. Just didn't get the pick in. Thanksgiving got in the way. You ever notice, aaron Rogers is looking like professional poker player Scott Fischman, but he always does, and Fischman who won two quick bracelets has kind of disappeared from the scene.
He's still around somewhere but like many poker players a brilliant year of success is followed by many dull ones. Will Aaron Rogers go the way of his doppleganger? Or will he be the second coming of that guy with a bit part as the funnily named beau in "There's Something About Mary" Brett Far-ve. Speaking of dopplegangers will the Cowboys doctor who looks like Warren Buffet become an incredible investor? These questions continue unabated.
Incidentally, speaking of poker flash in the pans, Chris Moneymaker won an online poker tournament this week. Long time coming. And Darvin Moon may have been spotten in a New Orleans poker room at Harrash wearing a WSOP shirt. Must be here for the monday nighter.
If there is one thing I've learned pissing off West Viriginians is fun, see N.I.T. game between UR and West Virginia when we were in... Mardi Gras gear. Now, the mountaineer is here... in New Orleans it all comes full circle. I plan on heading to Harrahs to wreck havoc on Moon at the pit games like three card poker and Texas Hold 'Em that he's dumb enough to prefer over the cash games.
What does this randomness have to do with my pick this week? Well, since the Pack can't be backed, and in honor of Darvin Moon being in town I'll tackle the Patsies-Saints. This is a brown bag special if there has every been one.
The Patsies used to be a laughingstock of the league. Even when they went to the Superbowl they were a joke and the Bears treated them like a honey ham. The Saints, the original bags on head, want to become what the Patsies transformed themselves into and the Saints might be able to.
Brees and Brady's clash will only be the second time in NFL history (Fouts-Marino) that two 4,000 yards in a season passers have clashed. I know you'd think Peyton would be in that category but whenever they said it on CBS they didn't address it. The Saints receiving corp is perhaps more dangerous than Moss and the rolling stoned that suit up for New England.
Oddly, perhaps because of the decimated Saints secondary 5 dimes has dropped this game to a pick em. What? Outside of Minnesota the Saints have looked like the best team in the league. Indy to me, is inferior to the Black and Gold and even they pulled out a win vs. New England at home. By the transitive property, which never works, the Saints will win by a touch down or more.
The atomospher will be crazy and the Patsies won't be able to halt the Saints win streak yet. Give me the home team. Me Darvin Moon and Mo will be all pysched to see the bless you boys win and the Belicheats lose.

early turkey week LOW
stuff this.....have had a rule for 4-5 years to never bet on an Al Groh coached team. I've broken that rule before unfortunately and on Al Groh's swan song game at UVA I'm doing it again. give me Al Groh & UVA +16. they should be motivated by rivalry game that has been dominated by tech & last game to finish on good note. I suspect they can keep it closer than spread but I say with lack of total confidence of course b/c.....Al Groh.
I also like Illinois to cover 20.5 in game Cincy might mildly overlook in non conf game late in season looking toward pitt game even though need to stay undefeated. Illinois also faces better comp week in week out in big10 so cincy wont overwhelm them.
but stuff it with UVA as the low.
I also understand Eddie B. has a serious gf. could an engagement/wedding be possible in 2010? I wont lock that up, wouldnt be fair but newsworthy.

Houston, we have an Over
I owe you boys a winner and tonight we all win as the Texans and Titans light up the scoreboard. I'm taking the Over 48 tonight.
Stick with the program. Bingo.

Houston, we have a winner
Give me the Texans minus 4 on MNF. Vince Young's little winning streak ends like a Perry game of...well, pick any sport. Point is, it ends badly and with a lopsided loss.
And Per, you might have followed up my hot pick winner last week if you didn't have green glasses on. Do your research, know your role and leave picking the winners to people who have experience doing it.
Follow up my pick if you like money, Iceman. But I would prefer you didn't.
Silverdome Special
That's right, the Lions minus the points v. Cleveland. I've been waiting all season to write that. The USA Today has the line at anywhere b/w 3.5 and 2.5, but most sites have it at 3.5, so that's fine with me. Hit it and go buy back the Silverdome.
Since its clear the football is no longer on the radar here, I updated everyone's (for those who entered) 5-teamer totals. Sorry if I missed Blake or anyone else. I know SK will update on Tuesday, but in the meantime:
L3K-- 14 (Butler 3, Oregon, 3, G'Town 3, Kansas 3, Miss St 2)
Ezedcota-- 14 (Charlotte 2, Kansas 3, Kent 4, Ole Miss 4, WVU 1)
EJ 1-- 15 (Ga Tech 2, Kansas 3, Ky 4, Ole Miss 4, Texas 2)
EJ 2-- 14 (Ga Tech 2, Kansas 3, Ky 4, Ole Miss 4, WVU 1)
Perry-- 14 (Kansas 3, Ky 4, Long Beach 3, Princeton 2, Texas 2)
Roro-- 13 (G'Town 3, Ga Tech 2, Kansas 3, KY 4, WVU 1)
A lot of close games and early losses, so far. Could be a very long 4-and-a-half months until the end of March.

Ezedcota-- 14 (Charlotte 2, Kansas 3, Kent 4, Ole Miss 4, WVU 1)
EJ 1-- 15 (Ga Tech 2, Kansas 3, Ky 4, Ole Miss 4, Texas 2)
EJ 2-- 14 (Ga Tech 2, Kansas 3, Ky 4, Ole Miss 4, WVU 1)
Perry-- 14 (Kansas 3, Ky 4, Long Beach 3, Princeton 2, Texas 2)
Roro-- 13 (G'Town 3, Ga Tech 2, Kansas 3, KY 4, WVU 1)
A lot of close games and early losses, so far. Could be a very long 4-and-a-half months until the end of March.

Eagles -3
Lock & Load boys the thermastat just started to climb - Eagles win this game by double digits
PTL - I "posted" on Proven Plays. Also dropped in a few college hoops picks to start calibrating my stroke on that side.
Cyber - do you even post on this blog anymore...I'm still trying to remember the last game you hit. You're like Eli, you haven't won a game since October

This weeks Sports Bet, Green Bay -5.5
Shame that was the opening line. I'll take the -6 legends is offering. Despite most of the other sites up to 7 or 6.5. I've been a fan of the progress in San Francisco but I can't help feeling like they hit a hump they couldn't climb and now the "Ship B Sinking." The niners have brought intensity every game but though they share that with their coach, they share little else with All Pro legend Mike Singletary. When I'm on the NFL I can't help but consider the pysche of the players on either team.
Greeen Bay certain has the better pysche right now. When sports betting this is the most overlooked aspect of picking games. What is the mental state of the team. Do they rise up to must win games or wilt. Are their skill players clutch. Will the home fans push them on or bury them with boos.
Philadelphia's home crowd, a little bit like the Yankees in baseball, can carry a team to victory when things are going right, or if they are enamored with the team or coach, but if things are going bad, or if they've soured on a formely star player, they can be opressive and worse than a road crowd. It's one thing to hear boo-birds on the road that can almost be uplifting and gratifying, but it's another thing entirely when it's you home fans doing the booing.
In football, there is a lot of momentum from week to week, and things like travel schedule, short weeks vs long weeks, bye weeks vs. nonbye weeks all can effect the temperment of a football team. They all have to be considered.The Niners come in a little bit wounded, they've had some tough games, some hard losses, and they are finding they are good but not good enough. Singletary's presence alone might be commanding enough to keep them in the thick of things, but probably not.
The Niners since Steve Young last played there have wilted like California Grapes in the sun. The raisins behind Jeff Garcia's limp-wristed San Francisco treats usually meant a pile of interceptions for the other team. The Alex Smith experiment has failed, miserably. Who else has been quarterback for that woeful team? Jim Druckenmiller? They've had more one game failures then Roger Federer's opponents.
Meanwhile, Green Bay should be able to get a big lead and hold it. They'll be rolling at home and already beat a much better Dallas Cowboys team by a far bigger margin. Their defense is fairly solid and Brett Farve's replacement still isn't better than Brett Farve and that silver-haired veteran is like 60, but Aaron Rogers is pretty competent. It's hard to remember that he played at Cal along the same time Matt Leinert, you know mired in medocrity Matt, who played at USC and was considered the better player.
This game is as close to a gimme as there is, bet the house especially if you can get it at under 6 like it opened.

San Diego pick 'em
Thought about taking the Eagles when this line was in their favor but it has swung all the way to a pick 'em and I will take that as a sign that all of Filthadelphia has hit the Kool-Aid again, conveniently forgetting that Andy Reid can't manage games late. And that they are on the road all the way across the country. San Diego is the pick, despite Norv.
Cowboys -3
Speaks volumes about how bad I think the Packers are, plus the Cowboys have been playing well lately and should cover in the Brokeback Bowl. Pardon my absence last weekend-- I was at the Breeders' Cup last weekend and barely found the time to get a 5-teamer together, let alone make a pick. I will make it up to you guys by making another pick around the 1:00 PM hour, if no one takes the game that I am eyeing.
Speaking of the greatest college basketball player of all-time, this is a from a few weeks ago on Jeopardy:

Freezer Burn
More like a worn out "Arkansas" Freddy Barnett jersey, RIP Hamilton shorts and a blackberry storm set on vibrate in my shorts and yes that is the picture of 2-8. That's right, #2 is locked in this week:
Saints -13.5 against the Rams - thank god I'm not matched up against Brees in my fantasy league this week. I think the Phi Delt Hardyball team could give it to the Rams...obviously I mean the Delt squad that we posted after you scrubs graduated.

Michigan +8.5
I'm liking the nfl games this week but sticking with my normal routine of college. thought about taking 1-8 yes 1-8 wash st at +17. 1-8 is hard to fathom but then lo & behold we know what 1-8 looks like. think worn out randall cunningham jersey, XXL khalid el-amin shorts, and carrying a pager from his wife.
this should be a close game. cant find a line on the spiders-lehigh opening bball game, worried that might be close too.

Too Soon For Kareem Reference?
Probably but Dooleyera has a point. This league is all of sudden on life support, it should be named the SchiavoLeague (not too soon).
I mention getting some readers on here and people scurry into their hovels like somebody coughed on them and said "Just a touch of the swine flu."
I concur standings would be an easy fix. I know only Captain Freeze in Conneticutt is keeping me from last place, but I'd still like to see the rankings. Somebody who can access the layout tab (shoats) should cut and paste the spreadsheet tracking us. You can update it each week on the side. Would take 5 minutes a week, if that.
I don't know how Green Baby is a dog at home even though the cowboys are 6-2 (5-2?) and the puckers have lost a few in a row. I don't pick against the Boys but somebody should jump on that game. Speaking of Jump on It.
Those staches are world class. That's phenomenal. It's worth watching just to catch Ro-ro's cameo on the drums. Hit the skins, sheriff. What's that got to do with jump on it. Well, the Sugar Hill Gang made that song their own at the dawn of rap, and a decade later Sir-Mix-A-Lot made it his joint. Since we have our own Sir-Miss-A-Lots of sports betting here's that version:
That's bad essentially a call out song to every single area code in the country. You know it's bad when your shout outs include Little Rock, Columbus, Tacoma and Portland. "So come on up to the 702. Where it's legal to gamble and ho'ing is too."
Now for my real pick which I trust you guys will jump on quicker than Phish fans on a parking lot balloon vendor, West Virginia +9.5. If you got some extra cash and can find a money line pick put it on the 'eers. Cincy goes down this week.
For completionists here's the sugar hill gang.
"you can put me to the test, at your request, I'll rock you out of your moccasins."

How do you boys feel...
About this being linked on the GCP site? Fresh content is always good and some of you are funny.
BTW, Roro did you say you think, you THINK, Blake was there for Quack-Quack? I think Jordan was there when the Bulls won all those championships in the 90s. I think Michael Jackson was there for some of the good moments of the Jackson five.
I'm taking the Flukeins.
My cabal of survival pool teammates don't like Atlanta this week. Granted a monday night hangover is normal, though no one has said that about the Saints at home--and I tend to put the tired legs on the winner unless it's a huge cross-country trip--which it wasn't for the ATL. Atlanta hasn't played badly and are a pretty decent team. The dreadskins are well, just ask John Riggins.
Yes, they are coming off a bye, I knew there was a reason they didn't lose last week, but please, this will be a thrashing in Georgia.

Lather Up
After getting off the schneid last week I think we all feel the heat wave coming. It may be November but with the heater I'm about to unleash its going to feel like the 4th of July.
I'll take the biggest lock on the board:
GB -10....um is this a misprint? Can I bet my house and my car? The yucks are awful and the Pack is pissed, this equals a recipe for an epic blowout a la me vs roro in a game of one on one.

quack quack
who else was at the infamous quack quack incident at outdoor patio at Mulligans in Richmond? I believe both Blake & Bill were present. This was after a JMU-Richmond football game. quack quack!
give me the Ducks -7. Stanfraud is 4-0 at home but the Ducks are on a roll (butter) and have to think they have enough to wear them down and cover this #.
Oregon -7 is the play. Other recorded plays are available at 1-888-Perry07.

I know it's a niche many of you guys could care less about, but was wondering if you guys could help out my site a little bit. You can do it in a few ways.
1. Do you use google?
If so, use my homepage as google. I have a little google box midway down. It will help in two ways. Completely the same as if you went to google itself. And, I have one friend that is worried about me being able to track his searches (I can't) so don't fear about that if you are looking for porn.
I get the hit whenever you do a search which makes my other advertisers happy. Also, should you ever click on a sponsered link when Google gives you a results page, I get a couple of pennys from google too. It's not much but its something. If you really want to help make it your homepage so everytime your browser opens I get a hit and then search away.
2. If you are bored or interested in the ads, click on some of the sponsered links while you are there off the GCP page. FYI, I don't have to share the pennys when you click the links off my blog but clicking the front page is good too.
3. If you are on messageboards put the website in your signature. Ups our google ranking which is important in a complicated Search Optimization way.
4. Buy some schwag. Completely overpriced, granted, but it's a pretty cool logo and you can rock the hoodie and hat any place. Go here for instructions to buy the gear. http://sleepwiththefishesdineonthewhales.blogspot.com/2009/05/taking-orders-now.html
Okay. Enough of the begging. Thanks for all ya'lls support already.

Minn +3
No witty commentary this week. Not a great pick, but I missed the early games and this is what's left.
Picking it...
Good pick Rory. Don't know if I'd call it a "bounceback" game after Auburn lost three straight. Though, they did finally rebound from the schneide... last year they never did.
Odd, after Auburn beat West Virginia I said West Virginia could win the Big East. I then said well I guess that means Auburn is pretty good. However, I've since determined they are just good, which doesn't cut it in the SEC West this year.
They remind me of the Dolphins except a college version. Talented starting 11 on defense but no bench (check). A wide variety of offensive weapons including a bench quarterback who basically goes into shotgun and runs (check, check). A starting quarterback that is more Trent Dilfer than Tim Tebow (check). Gimmicky offense which can put good defenses on their heels (check) but should they give up an early lead to a good team pretty much toast (check).
See that last sentence... why I'm scared to pick against or for Auburn or the Phins this year. So good job Rory they are a tough team to sports betting handicap. LSU trashed Auburn but a point I tried to get across to Ryan, with little success, was that had those four early calls been called right, they would have at least have had a chance in that game. Yes, they likely still would have lost, but they'd have a fighting chance. LSU extended the lead and the minimum 10 point swing the refs gave them, and it was over. Once their playbook is limited due to having to come back and needing to rely on the passing game, they are done. Same with Miami.
I've gotten into some pretty healthy debates about the dolphins where people dismiss their offense as a gimmick. Some guys told me the wildcat did nothing against the Saints, the dolphins only gained x amount of yards in that formation, which is garbage. The threat of the wildcat makes other formations more successful. The Saints didn't know what the Dolphins were running until they broke formation.
The Dolphins rolled against the Saints when they were able to use every page in their playbook, when Tony Saprano got away from the Wildcat and stopped balancing their attack their offense struggled. Look, Jonathan Vilma showed why you shouldn't run the option in the NFL on any given play, but being willing to do so, and the potential running the option and having to defend it does open up things.
Okay... enough editorializing... time for a game day pick...
Is san francisco really two touchdowns worse than the colts? Hmmm, almost want to pounce on that game.
Tn hasn't won a game and is favored by 3? WTF? Jacksonville has to be a gimme right? Or I don't know something.
Ignorance is bliss. Give me Jacksonville.

PS -- Broncos are 6-0 ATS this year. Dangerous game to pick. I do like the Ravens to win but it will be close. Good luck, Frozen One.

Picking Jake Delhomme is never the easy or smart thing to do but Arizona is too inconsistent and has been playing tight games. Take the 10 points and Carolina and lock it up.

Calculation on starting a season 0-7
As Hank pointed out to me, going 0-7 is .5 to the 7th power. The results:
.5 to the seventh = 0.0078125
Perry had less than a 1% chance of making this historic run. Ice-rific.
Philly -7
Bounce back week.
It won't be Jason Campbell bouncing back. The Auburn grad is devoutly religious and prays everyday, and I think, surely he always says a special thank you for LSU grad Jamarcus Russell being in the league. How bad is Jamarcus? Really? Maybe he can get a gig in the circus throwing the ball through the uprights on his knees from the 50 because he sure can't get that skill to translate into being a decent make that half-decent make that indecent looking quarterback.
He's none of those because he can't play any form of quarterback. He'd probably struggle to hold the clipboard. His regression makes me wonder if you put a gun to the heads of the front office in San Diego, and made the Chargers chose between him and Ryan Leaf, they might just take Ryan Leaf again. I don't even know how sports gambling websites would handicap that race.
And Perry I love the "Pump the Brakes" line, seen tropic thunder recently... I think so. Unfortunately your picks look more like they were done by Ben Stiller's character's, Simple Jack , so perhaps you should quote him. Good flick, but, the best part of that movie was Tom Cruise. Yeah, the crazy scientologist...
His unexpected humor was a bit like Donovan McNabb showing flashes like he was playing three years ago. Bounce back is on, the redskins get trampled in a sea of gang green and the Iggles pull out a convincing win. And perry, before you step up "Take a big step back..."
Alright, it's no fun picking on Perry, and harbor no Les Grossman anger to him. Why kick a man when he's down. It'll turn around, puss. And to show I empathazie, that's why I'm taking the Iggles this week and rooting for your squad. I want this cooler to end. I mean your picks are colder than a pair of dice fondled by Eddie B... or any of the sportsbook tickets Eddie B has ever woken up to in his pockets... or Eddie B swimming upstream against the tickle.
I'll save my "scorched earth" for someone else and pull for you to get off the schneid.

Jets -6 @ Oakland
I love the Eagles to cover a TD against the Skins tomorrow night but I can't keep doing it to them. I noticed the Iceman stayed away from that game as well.

NE -15
Following EJ's lead and taking a heavily-favored road team. The Yucs lost by 13 at home to the Cowgirls, 24 at home to the Giants, and 7 at home to the lowly Panthers. The Patriots have not won a road game this year, but Bellicheat will not call off the dogs and NE should abuse a bad team for the second week in a row.
Live from Austin - A pick from Purehank!
Purehank would like to make the pick of Miami +6.5 in an attempt to stop the yapping from N'Awlins.
Stay cool, Iceman. Zoom in on your ice sidewalk.
Shoats LOW
Indy -14.5 @ St. Louis
Give me Indy.
Go opposite, Iceman. And unlike what the clip says, you're not dangerous to anyone but a team that actually wants to win.

LOW - Someone's Thirsty
Really billy taking pot shots at the UConn football coach after one of his players got stabbed because you didn't like his press conference, that's a little low even for Cannabill. I didn't know you were the new Doctor Phil. I'll admit to not seeing it but have certainly read a number of articles and by all accounts the team has rallied around him and he is known as stand-up guy. Also your man crush on Calhoun has gone unchecked long enough. Pump the breaks, as the title of your favorite movie reads, "He's just not that into you."
Falcons +4.5 -- The Cowgirls are a horrible football team who shouldn't be favored against the Browns. Tell Tony Romo to go post more joints on FunnyorDie.com, there's only one real QB in the NFC East and he wears Green on Sundays. Bang this game on the $$$$ Line...I already did
Go do a little manscaping and bust out your speedo cyber the forecast is for an extended heatwave
Bang, Bang

live from Wally...I mean Disney World. Go with the Dookies -4. They are coming off a bye and another team that is facing a game with lots of bowl eligibilty consequences. those add up to Duke -4. plus Maryland might be the new Duke football. and the Spiders look better with every Duke win. that should be enough for you cyber freakazoids.

UCONN Football
Everybody knows I like to take that slimey Jim Calhoun and his nefarious cheat to win mentality to task. The guy leaves a grease spot when he's running. That being said anybody else get a chilling, yeah like looking into the eyes of a cornered Dave Bliss or a hungry Jeffery Dahmer, bad taste in their mouth when the UCONN football coach talks about his star player's death.
The dude, if not suffering from some sort of palsy (and if so, ignore this and my apologies to the man), speaks through this tragedy with a half-smile. At first I thought maybe it's a defensive tough guy posturing mechanism, but the more clips I've seen of him, it's becomming grossly obvious he's clearly enjoying and somewhat reveling in the spotlight. Grotesque.
I don't need Dick Vermeil tears but I also don't need a guy who's a borderline Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy enjoying the attention brough to him by the brutal death of one of his "family." Both Calhoun and the ladies coach Geno shockingly have someone in Storrs beating them to the dark corners, thin shadows and deepest shades in the athletic facility and it's not even close.
Compared to this dooschbag those guys look like eagle scouts. And for the record, both of those guys for all their moral flaws love their players and wouldn't even recognize the opportunities for self-promotion the football coach has jumped into.
And while on the subject of smarmy coaches, that Urban Meyer commercial is TURRIBLE. Somebody needs to take these two clowns neither of whom has learned the concept of a poker face and drop them off on an island somewhere. Urban can't hide how giant his ego is, like Barry Bonds his head is growing with each year, he's probably one of those vain mid-life crisis guys mainlining HGH to stay young and he needs to be deposit in the pacific somewhere.
The UCONN football coach should join them since he can't contain his happiness to be getting some extra time on the ESexPN networks. I'd love to play some No Limit Texas Hold 'em poker with these idiots, nothing better than fools that think they are smarter than everybody else and can't help tripping on the own ego. Maybe we should send them to the poker island.
As for me coming after the guy take a look at this video pre death...
Now the one post death.
The dude is little different between the two and you tell me the guy isn't creepy in his detachment and you can't see he's enjoying the attention just a little bit. Sick.

Saints Go Marching In
Never let it be said that when I'm wrong, I can't admit it. This one is for the victorious Ryan Moore. It's titled "Eli Manning in the pocket."
Congrats.

Blake takes Chiefs +6
Going against the whole Danny Boy Kool-Aid and picking against the team he's going to watch. A bit of Rory in this move, except unlike Rory, I'm pretty sure Blake believes his team will probably lose.
Jets -10
The media hammered Ryan and his defense this week, after the Jets got shredded by Miami. Now, they're going to try to bully a God-forsaken Buffalo squad. The weather might keep scoring down, but look for the Jets to respond to last week's drubbing and take that frustration out on the crappy Bills. Ten points is a lot, but Buffalo is a mess and only managed to score six points v. Big Brown last week.

Who Dat -3
OK....I have been called out so I will respond in kind....Saints -3. There will be nothing easy about Easy E's return to the Big Easy. By the fourth quarter, he may look like he used to look on St. Charles Ave. at Mardi Gras. After JV games against the Raiders, Chiefs and Bucs....welcome back to the NFL.
Calling out Ryan Moore
Your team is going down and your coach is a scab. Eli's homecoming will be EEEEaaasyyy.
Um, Jax -10 @ St. Louis
All apologies to my man Steve Spagnuolo but his team's talent is awful, they lose by a ton each week, no reason to think that will change.
Give me Jacksonville -10.
Juiceman - this one is for you. Sip, sip.
Notre Dame v. USC
No one jumped on this? Charlie Weis says that this is the first time that his players feel that they can actually beat USC. That only means one thing: USC minus a million.
Not my lock. That will come later.

San Diego -3--Reality Showtime
I don't think I should pick against Denver. I'm just going to go with the Home team on Monday night. Bit of rivalry game. I like the Chargers to kind of open up a can of whoop ass and my man Antonio Gates to rack up three or so touchdowns. There are easier picks on the board but that's too easy, it's like locking up one of the hooches on Rock of Love to get a new veneral disease by episode four.
Still wondering where the standings are...
Let's see what else is on my mind: Ballon Boy Falcon Heene apparently is in our pool. I think the hefty trash bag balloon lifted off somewhere in Connecticut because the JuiceMan has been a Balloon Boy joke. It's a Hoax. I may only have one or two wins but at least I've gotten off the board, the only thing taking off in Puss's picks is a hot air bag of hot mess. Perhaps, some silly Colorado sheriff's department can be duped but not the rest of us. Now, I'm worried your next pick won't even win if they are a favorite, just don't pick any of my survivor pool teams.
Staying with the reality show theme let's look at the Extreme Makeover Home Edition. I just fear if Ty Whatsthetardslastnameington were to head to Maryland he'd take his bulldozer to Danny's Synder's house and JKC stadium would look like a giant empty pit. How deep? Think any of the 80s redskins nostrils after a coke party--okay maybe deeper, Michael Irvin/Tom Jackson nostril deep. The skins are so flaccid, even the players are calling out the owner. At least one of the two first round Auburn draftees wasn't a bust and has his head screwed on right. Think he wants a trade?
As for the Saints-Giants game it's kind of like Wife Swap except they never traded them back. The Saints get Sean Payton and Jeremy Shockey and they don't leave. They thrive. The gmen didn't get anything in return but it was addition by subtraction and Coughlin who they hated turns around and he wins them a superbowl. I like the Saints. If I were to bet and win and lived outside the U.S., I might want to bet and win some sports gambling here.

Miss St -4.5
the line says trap game for Miss St. I see an easy win. Miss St. has lost 3 straight close games but all against good teams. I think they're a little better than their record. if they want to get bowl eligible this is must win. and this is an SEC team going against Middle Tn. take the pts on the road and bang this one hard.

Juicy
I enjoyed the video, going out of town for long weekend so I don't have time to properly respond to all the limp wristed slaps directed my way this week. Somebody stuck the cooler on me to start this season but no matter I'm due for a heater. Lock and Load Time:
Eagles -14
The Raiders are a JV team whose coach thinks he's playing Mike Tyson punch-out.
Dig some change out of your manpurse cyber, this one is a lead piper.

The Juiceman Goeth
Another horrific pick by the Juiceman, which I think keeps him winless on the year. Bang up job, juiceman, pun intended.
Another Gem
Bungles +9, for no other reason than the fact these games are usually close. Thanks for nothing.

KC +8 for EJ
This line is all over the place, between 7.5 and 9, so I'll cut to the (sort of) average and take KC +8 now that Roy Williams is not playing. This game has KC pumped up and might be a Detroit/Washington type upset. At the minimum, I expect the backdoor cover to be in full effect with the Chiefs.

I'm taking Miami +2.5
The Dolphins have some sort of Tony Saprano thing going. The Just End The Season J.E.T.S, Jets, Jets, Jets are from Jersey. So this is like a Mob War. BTW, is there anything more annoying on facebook then these constant Mob War updates showing up every day on your page from a guy you barely remember from high-school?
Some of you don't know what facebook is so won't catch that reference, for those of you still living in the Newspaper age, explore the internet it's not just for porn and fantasy football (whatever happenend to our league anyway?). Back to the game, Bill Parcells retired to Miami and decided to start running a Wildcat offense. LT watched a dolphins game and hasn't been this confused by Parcells since he pulled a scrooge mcduck in a pool filled with white nose dust.
You think Billy Parcells, the big Tuna, is sitting in his office in Miami enjoying the fact his team runs the WILDCAT? No, he's like Rory's friends 10 years ago after Rory has strapped on a buzz to his 175 pound frame and started to get frisky with a Korean Bowling team in the alley next to 3rd Edition, just making a squeamish face, thinking this is going to get ugly and is that guy really with us?
Okay for a more recent reference how about Rory less than a year ago talking smack to the two dudes in wifebeaters with the vacant gaze of meth-heads fresh from their bathroom lab. Did Parcells really hire that guy? Guess if you can't pass it start three running backs, that's gambling right? Still, I'm not a beliver in the Jets. It's monday night, the dolphins run wild and win in a squeaker 13-10.

Early LOW - WISC +16
give me the Wisconsin Badgers +16. both wisc and ohio st have looked good but this is too many points. Ohio St. can roll up scores on bad to mediocre teams but this Wisc team is improved and better than mediocre. they'll get a cover.
take advantage. not only am I rolling at a 75% clip in LOW so far thats about my average overall this football season. en fuego. not sure how long it will last but you take a pull when the taps are open.
by the way I found out 5Dimes had the JMU-UR line this weekend at JMU +13. absurd line. apparently it was at +14.5 originally. rivalry game, jmu needs win bigtime, they're still a top team just got upset last week by a team we murdered. they could easily win outright but instead getting 13 pts at home? I opened an account with them solely to bet that game. I think JMU is a lock, of course I want the Spiders but if someone is serving softballs I'm going to round the bases. sportsbook doesnt offer those lines except when it goes to playoffs.

Poll
Is Bill a bigger Auburn or LSU fan this year?
Unfortunately I dont think there is a way to creat an actual poll. You can vote via the comments. My vote is C.
Cyber commish can tally up the votes since he's doing such a great job already with things like standings.
A. Auburn
B. LSU
C. We'll know after they play each other.

Wash Huskies +12
lou holtz will spit into the camera on gameday saying they'll win going away but they cant do it. take the points.
Back in it
Don't worry, Scotty, I'm still here to monitor and track your losing picks. I helped produce a huge film festival in midtown last weekend (we had the US premiere of the new Coen Brothers movie in a big red-carpet deal) and still managed to call in a pick. Mine will be up shortly.
Meantime, enjoy this gem. I think Perry was on the defense for this one.
New Orleans -7
Even though this league has been abandoned by everyone, I am still posting a solid pick above. Sanchez may be good, but I have a feeling New Orleans is going to make it a tough road game for the rookie.

Abandoned?
Oh yee of little faith, Foro. Though you did in fact, pick a team that requires a lot of faith, and stole my own selection in the process. Well, the Bless You Boys thank you, I don't but they do.
My pick is Minny -3. Like all good minis, mini-skirts in particular, this mini will be off in no time. Farve is going to stick it to Green Bay like Michael Vick putting down one of his dogs. Actually, Farve might feel the tiniest, mini-iest bit of remorse.
I've gone ofer this year and I almost hope my streak continues. There is no ccline on this blog and as clever as it could be, it's not quite there without it. Otherwise this is just a bad sports gambling site. So while my mini-reverse heater continues nobody is taking special notice to pick against me.
Speaking of idiot quarterbacks... Aaron Rogers... I haven't seen a guy look more like a deer in headlights not named Eli Manning under an NFL center (willingly) in years, maybe since Spurrier was throwing his UF alums to the Defense Linemen of the NFL.
Talking football Auburn should be ranked next week. Thought they had too much talent to be as bad as they were last year... and they did. Their head coach should get little or none of the credit, their offensive co-ordinator is crazy good (read Stewart Mandel on Si.com) but they are thin. They might upset one of the big boys in the SEC West though.

AZ -2.5
I realize that picking AZ to cover anything as a lock of the week makes no sense. However, the Dolphins ran Indy's defense ragged on Monday. Now the Colts travel to The Promised Land on a short week.
By my math, 45 minutes of defense on Monday night + short week + 2nd road game in a row = Az. cover.

Cleveland +13.5
Way too many points, even Mangenius can't screw up that bad
I love early season fad teams (aka the Ravens or the Aints) that cause line makers to go out half cocked like a fat kid at an all you can eat buffet. By the end of the season both those squads are pushing .500 and on the outside looking in at the playoffs.
I feel a heat wave coming on, lock & load boys

One GIANT step for mankind...
PTL is officially on holiday. Dylan, Donna and I are three hours away from hopping on a plane to Disney World. Before we head to the happiest place on earth, I thought I would make little magic on here.
We are staying at the Animal Kingdom Lodge so naturally I looked at the Lions to cover the 6.5 vs. my Skins. Love the Lions in this game -- should use them to get paid. The Ravens -- Caw Caw -- too big a line. The Jaguars -- can't touch them. Panthers -- tempting? My animal theme not working too well..
So in the land of the little mouse, I am taking the G-Men -6.5 vs. the Bucs. Tampa is the closest thing to Orlando in terms of football and they will be smoked by this Giant team. I'm thinking two touchdowns...
The best part about my trip will be my inability to see the Skins on Sunday. I don't want to be there to watch when we help Detroit end their streak. There is only one dim-wit in DC...and happens to be a billionaire who purchased my favorite franchise.
PTL boys. May all your bets pay handsomely...

Long Rambling Post, but my LOW is near the top...
I'm awful at survivor pick em too. I liked both the Cards and the Steelers to win week one and week two neither did. I am no longer picking one of my survivor picks for LOW. Below is some survivor analysis. For mediocre comedy read my reply to Rory's lame post in the comments section below that.
Also, I gave some heat to Ro-ro and puss in my previous post which I think most people missed.
First off: MY LOW: Pittsburgh -4. Taking them on the road again. This time at Cincy. BTW, why is Green Bay a 7 point favorite at St. Louis? And why do I know nothing about the NiFfLe and gambling?
Okay Survivor pool thoughts to come, feel free to put the phasers on blast and trash my thoughts. Puss you may have to adjust yours from the George Takei setting of Fabulous:
Last Week:
The Bears can thank the place kicker for Pittsburgh. But placekickers tend to miss more on the road, so good reason to not take a three point favorite on the road when you know the game is going to be a battle and decided by a play here or there. BTW, I like Pittsburgh on the road again at -4.5 at Cincy. LOL. They say, the insane keep doing the same thing and hope the result is different.
I hope we never have to pick the Redskins again. I still don't know how they won that game. And lo and behold they play Detroit this week (I'll get to that).
TN... that team is suspect. 10 years ago I was leery of Kerry "Tom" Collins, after 1 good year I shouldn't still be? What's that two for 13 in his career (rookie season and last year and maybe a hot streak with the G-men late one year?). And Houston, I think is pretty decent this year. Just got a vibe about them... don't know why. However, post game comments were all about the one game and a chip on their shoulder and not a chip on their shoulder for the season so maybe not.
This Week:
Baltimore-Cleveland: I won't forget this is a bit of a rivalry game. However biggest line on the board at home... automatic pick right? Also it ain't the pack-bears or skins-boys so we'll ignore one of our previous rules. Flacco, may have a bit of Rothlisberger in him, so I'm fine with taking the Ravens for the time being despite going against my not liking to take defensive teams.
KC is hanging tough but I like Philly at home. Vick is going to play some. Will that be good or bad for Kolb? I don't know, it's a bit of wild card. Back ups tend to play better when there are no expectations and nobody to look over their shoulder. That's if they aren't named Tom Brady or Steve Young. Will have to ruminate on this.
San Fran v. Minny. San Fran I think is a bit like Houston. Surpisingly decent and competitive. Minnesota at home, you gotta figure they got enough, despite the mike singletary "culture" on the 49ers. However, it's not hard to see Minnesota taking the Niners a little lightly and this being a statement game for the Niners. Tough to chose between philly and minny at this point.
Redskins-Detroit. Arguably we dodged our bullet by picking the redskins who can lose any, ANY game. But last season if we picked against detroit every week we'd be okay. Streak has to end at some point, and speaking of streak busters the Redskins are the fat ugly girl in the bar so maybe we should practice avoidance.
Dallas-Carolina. -10 at home. I look for the Boys to bounce back, Barber is 50/50 (that's bad). I hate that the panthers have to win this game, too. Course so does Dallas, so maybe they are even in that regard. 10 points is a lot, oddsmakers must know that Carolina is worse than we think. Plus, the G-Men barely won at Dallas (thanks to improbable bobbles), and the G-Men might be the best team in the NFC. Panthers aren't the G-Men right now. This is my number two pick, Dallas takes care of business.
Out of the other three (Bal, Dal, being 1-2 for me)... Tough, is Philly any good, or are the Saints that friggin' good? You know what, f it. The G-men are the best team in the NFC East. Number three I'm going with a road team, coming off a prime-time game against a team in desperate need of a win. (I violate three of our rules or what?) G-Men are number three for me.
Also, I gave some heat to Ro-ro and puss in my previous post which I think most people missed.
First off: MY LOW: Pittsburgh -4. Taking them on the road again. This time at Cincy. BTW, why is Green Bay a 7 point favorite at St. Louis? And why do I know nothing about the NiFfLe and gambling?
Okay Survivor pool thoughts to come, feel free to put the phasers on blast and trash my thoughts. Puss you may have to adjust yours from the George Takei setting of Fabulous:
Last Week:
The Bears can thank the place kicker for Pittsburgh. But placekickers tend to miss more on the road, so good reason to not take a three point favorite on the road when you know the game is going to be a battle and decided by a play here or there. BTW, I like Pittsburgh on the road again at -4.5 at Cincy. LOL. They say, the insane keep doing the same thing and hope the result is different.
I hope we never have to pick the Redskins again. I still don't know how they won that game. And lo and behold they play Detroit this week (I'll get to that).
TN... that team is suspect. 10 years ago I was leery of Kerry "Tom" Collins, after 1 good year I shouldn't still be? What's that two for 13 in his career (rookie season and last year and maybe a hot streak with the G-men late one year?). And Houston, I think is pretty decent this year. Just got a vibe about them... don't know why. However, post game comments were all about the one game and a chip on their shoulder and not a chip on their shoulder for the season so maybe not.
This Week:
Baltimore-Cleveland: I won't forget this is a bit of a rivalry game. However biggest line on the board at home... automatic pick right? Also it ain't the pack-bears or skins-boys so we'll ignore one of our previous rules. Flacco, may have a bit of Rothlisberger in him, so I'm fine with taking the Ravens for the time being despite going against my not liking to take defensive teams.
KC is hanging tough but I like Philly at home. Vick is going to play some. Will that be good or bad for Kolb? I don't know, it's a bit of wild card. Back ups tend to play better when there are no expectations and nobody to look over their shoulder. That's if they aren't named Tom Brady or Steve Young. Will have to ruminate on this.
San Fran v. Minny. San Fran I think is a bit like Houston. Surpisingly decent and competitive. Minnesota at home, you gotta figure they got enough, despite the mike singletary "culture" on the 49ers. However, it's not hard to see Minnesota taking the Niners a little lightly and this being a statement game for the Niners. Tough to chose between philly and minny at this point.
Redskins-Detroit. Arguably we dodged our bullet by picking the redskins who can lose any, ANY game. But last season if we picked against detroit every week we'd be okay. Streak has to end at some point, and speaking of streak busters the Redskins are the fat ugly girl in the bar so maybe we should practice avoidance.
Dallas-Carolina. -10 at home. I look for the Boys to bounce back, Barber is 50/50 (that's bad). I hate that the panthers have to win this game, too. Course so does Dallas, so maybe they are even in that regard. 10 points is a lot, oddsmakers must know that Carolina is worse than we think. Plus, the G-Men barely won at Dallas (thanks to improbable bobbles), and the G-Men might be the best team in the NFC. Panthers aren't the G-Men right now. This is my number two pick, Dallas takes care of business.

KOD special - Cocks +4.5
KOD has cyber dissappeared. In honor of his cyberleague death, I'm tipping a 4-0 and going with a Thurs night special. Plus I'm taking the cocks. I realize "I'm taking the cocks" is code between Hank and Bill whenever they want to get a game of Hide the Remote on, but in this case it means Ole Miss is not ready for prime time. Is this really a top 5 BCS team? Maybe, hell even the Aints are 2-0 but like them still have to prove it when it counts.
I'm taking the Cocks. +4.5. hank/bill put away the remotes.

Dim Wits in DC?
Skins rookie calls out the fans for booing a team that ended up winning, somehow has to apologize for it.
http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=4492151
This is what happens when you don't have a good QB - you can't score and the fans boo. Unless it's Philly, where booing is the native language.

Sheldon Brown
A caller, an Eagles fan actually, to Mike Francesa's radio show on WFAN in New York just said that Sheldon Brown should throw himself off of a bridge for his mask idiocy followed by his awful performance. Those were his exact words. The caller then ripped into Kolb, calling him Kevin "Corn On The" Kolb.
Stay classy, Eagles fans.
Boooooooo
I really wanted to hear some of the commentary in the fourth quarter of the Saints vs. Eagles game but the sound was continually drowned out by the chorus of boos from the Philly "faithful." It got so bad at one point I thought Santa Claus may have been in attendance, then I realized he was in the Philly press box dreaming up more gimmicky wildcat plays. My favorite was the play action wild cat with the running back throwing to the fullback.
Memo to Sheldon Brown, you do not wear a Jason mask during pre-game intros and then give up 48 points. I do not know if it was supposed to be scary or funny but it was neither.
Calm down, we only beat you slightly worse than Detroit so all is not lost. I am sure when the dog killer suits up next week that wildcat will be just plain nasty.

I Gotta Feeling..
The Blake Eyed Peas think tonight's going to be a good good night. Last week was a terrible fluke -- I'm putting that one on Perry. Oddly enough -- I was going to bang Tennessee for my LOW but the JuiceMan beat me to the punch (wholly Juice-soon, Batman!)
I'm taking the Ravens (Caw-Caw) on the road to cover +3 in San Diego. The Ravens are legit and Norv is going to start his season 0-2.
Like a finely tuned automobile, it can take me a while to get going. Once I get going I'm butter -- on a roll.

Titans -6.5
Most over-rated team in the NFL (besides the cowgirls)....the Texans. This one has double digits written all over it
Lock & load cyber I'm back...you can celebrate my return with a roast
The following video adequately summarizes how I feel about my fellow "competitors"....

Buffalo -5
Buffalo should have won at NE and Tampa is bad enough on offense before probably losing Antonio Bryant for this game. The Bills will be looking to bounce back at home, get your popcorn ready I see a late TD by TO for the cover.
L3K' Pick
Trap city this week and I wouldn't touch these games with EJ's poker winnings. Thought about taking Atlanta but I have a soul and cannot bear to watch Delhomme throw 5 more interceptions. Thought about the Jets, but Bellicheat will surely find a way to stymie the dirty one, right? The Broncos over the Browns? Closer, but I never liked Orton. Fine, I'll take Indianapolis -3 at Miami. The wildcat offense is going to be on a wildcat strike by the end of the 3rd quarter.
Hank takes Cowgirls -2.5
some things about this video:
Dallas couldn't tackle
Toomer had a field day
Steve Smith showed he could play
Giants d-line showed a preview of what the Pats got in the Super Bowl
Dallas cheerleaders, nice.
Penn State -29.5 vs. Temple
Temple is awful. JoPa's assistants are gunning for jobs and running the show, so they have no problem running up the score. Penn State is the pick. It'll be a leg-breaker for Temple.
KC -3
generally its not smart to take a bad team as a favorite. except when your opponent is the raiders. its kind of like tipple playing perry in basketball. would you want to bet on either? no. but generally if perry is playing you take his opponent. its hard to cover when your score is a bagel. nobody should bet on Tipple unless the bet was whether his trunk is full. but I guess here I'm taking Tipple over Perry.
I dont see much in the raiders besides mcfadden. I think jemarcus russell has eaten the rest of the team.

Call Out of the Week
Well, it looks as if L3K has called me out on not posting. Fair enough. But I'll continue a trend and call out someone. And I'll continue another trend and make that person Perry.
Reason?
Simple. His two "Sell the wife and kids if you have to" picks of the week were plain nasty. Nasty like the fries that Shannon Guignon regurgitated in New Orleans back in '94 (Mo and Roro were there for that).
Not good nasty.
First, there was the Blade of the Week, where he tried to take the Pats, who were dominated the entire game at home and somehow managed to squeak a money line victory out of it.
As an aside, if ever there was a fix in an NFL game, that was as good as any for suspicion. Guy brings it out from 4 yards deep and then somehow fumbles after that, gift-wrapping a victory for the Pats? Suspect. Check his bank account.
Anyway, back to Perry. His second, follow up? San Diego, who was embarrassed by awful Oakland and their joke of a LSU QB for 90% of the game, only to barely win in the last 30 seconds.
Apparently, after those games, Perry now has no wife and no kids.
Awful. But typical.

Pittsburgh -3. More to come. Just wanted to get my pick in.
This week there are a lot of games to like on the board, and almost all of them are sucker picks. I've already put the redskins on blast and as it stands that game is still going with them hanging on to a 2 point lead, so I will delete my thoughts about them.
Weird Arizona is taking Jacksonville to the woodshed, and playing like I thought they would last week. Finally getting to watch games, sunday is a day I play poker online (and I have a great online poker face, kind of like my great face for radio) and watch the NiFfLe, used to be a day I'd track picks, usually the sucker ones I fell for, and play fantasy football.
Speaking of sucker picks, Kanya "Imma Let You Finish" West went face on Taylor Swift like Ro-ro and a bunch of fantasy football players that bitched and whined about a draft date to their commish. Kanya thankou for the new phrase. I will use that in spoken word even if I'm the only one that gets it.
As for the fantasy football, when the keys to the kingdom and commisionerhood was given to that group, they swiftly decided to not be able to kick the league off.
To me it was always better to have a league than not have one--call me old fashioned. There is no date that everybody can agree to, so you cater to the majority and hope the rest can figure out how to use the auto-draft. Unfortunately, most of them can't, and then they bitch and whine all year. Still, they bitch and whine while playing fantasy football. It would be a nice diversion for me when I play online poker.
So, when Ro-ro confidently averred that he could do better, I remember suggestions that running a league was easy, and the Sheriff was going to get done, so... I expected better. Then our fantasy football league went the way of the Dodo. Now, I gave Ro-ro a heads up that I was going to peel back the scab on this old wound and bitch and whine, much like others bitched and whined to me, and he let me know in no uncertain terms, that despite dropping the ball last year, this year the ball was dropped by the Puss.
So, Puss, are you the guy responsible for us not having a fantasy football league this year? If so tsk-tsk to you.
On top of that, if I put shit together and you know... actually have a league to kick off next year, can you whiners sip some self-served shut up juice. Maybe you'd rather not play then be able to bitch. So be it.
Okay, that's enough from me, in regards to that, except to say it would be nice to be trouncing you fools in fantasy football right now. Instead I'm going to play some poker.

New Feature - Blade of the Week
With the advanced technologies that this blog allows, I'm introducing a new feature to the Cyberleague - the blade of the week.
It's dedicated to the poster who tries to slide the biggest blade through on his pick of the week. In poker, it's called angle shooting, in real life it's called being shady. Here, it's the blade of the week.
The first blade of the week goes to...Geoff Perry. Not only did he blade his pick, he took a hacksaw to it and tried to take the only game that had been picked up to that point as his own. Just ridiculous, much like his emails, his track record and his basketball skills.
So in honor of this week's B.O.W, Gay Perry. I offer this clip.

Danny Boy & the Foreskins +6.5
I think the famous band Tick Rogers used to open for Danny Boy and the Foreskins. or maybe that was the band in Animal House. could be a good name for a drunk Irishman and Kandarp Patel playing dueling pianos.
regardless give me the Skins +6.5. L3K has stolen some of my well known logic. ideal is skins get a late meaningless td to get within 6 for backdoor cover. if they get blown out se la vie. but I do legitimately like them to cover. g men will have a hard time scoring on their D. I mean look at all that big play potential on that giants offense....please....Fat Mo in college had more take it the distance ability than the giants offense.
the over/under on this game should be in the 20s. has 13-7 written all over it.

L3K's Pick
The Cowgirls -6. The Yucs have a new coach who just fired his offensive coordinator. Great way to start the season.
L3K hates the Cowboys, so either:
1) Dallas covers. L3K gets his annual win.
2) Dallas wins but doesn't cover. L3K hates Dallas even more.
3) He picks them and they lose the game outright. Still a winner.

Tigers and Dogs
Give me LSU -14. Nothing like a college homer pick to start the season but I am not buying Vandy running up the score last week and LSU will be trying to prove a point at home after a long West Coast trip last week.
As for the dog killer, just getting to this but Perry's post that this move was "just plain nasty" from a football standpoint is great. I would put it more like just plain desperation. I expected some franchise to be desperate enough to sign him but was thinking more along the lines of Al Davis and not Andy Reid. Vick was just plain average before he want to the slammer, there was talk of that upcoming season being make or break for him in Atlanta. Just ask Roddy White, he has $50 million reasons why he is glad Chris Redman and Matt Ryan were throwing him the ball the past two years instead of Vick. I wish Vick were playing next week when we come to town, I would take the ball in his hands in the Wild Dog offense any day. They will be throwing dog biscuits at him and booing him like Santa Claus in Philly by the middle of the season. Until then, have another scooby snack and keep thinking he is just plain nasty.

Wild Bill's lock 'o the week
Pay the Lion. Nice work. Love the cub. Can't wait to see the two queens with a white lion soon. White Lion now that's a rock band. "When The Children Cry," is their opus and what you tots will be doing at the end of the season, weeping from the whooping I gave you.
On the lion theme, I guess I should pick the Saints to murder Detriot. If you thought so, you thought Wrong! Is this one long strand of non-sequiter--maybe, but maybe not as the white Lion is a red herring and the Saints are a paper tiger. You still with me?
Good, give me the original paper tiger Kurt Warner and the Arizona Cardinals. Never, ever thought I'd write that. What's next the Clippers to win it all? I love sports gambling. Getting into the $100 survivor pool tonight. I'm keeping those picks to myself for now.
I also loved the Puss's bluster on email. You and Blake gots to figure out who has who can you both have the Patsies? Who was first? By the way, Shoats with a little ingenuity you can put a standings graphic permanently on the front page.

BLOG = Blake Loves Organized Gambling
Classic post Shoatsie. Now here's one to help you put some coin in your man-purse. I'm going to start the season with a big line (I mean lion). My opening shot for the 2009 season is...Patriots -10.5 vs. the Bills in some Monday Madness.
Brady is back. The Bills suck. It is simple as that. My bonus pick (cause you know you want it) is the Steelers tomorrow night. Go ahead and give those -6.5 points. It is going to be smashmouth football but the defending champs win by at least a touchdown. Pay the lion, boys. Let's get it started.

Easy Cover
OK State dominates the last 3 quarters to easily cover against Georgia, who couldn't move the ball consistently.

Shoats' bonus pick of the week
Go big or go home. While all the rest of you are relaxing on the beach or picking games that involve teams like Troy, I'm stepping up, even in the preseason, and picking a marquee game.
Oklahoma State -4.5 against Georgia
OKST. has the tools to make a big run this year and it kicks off at home in week 1. Georgia lost its QB from last season and OKST returns Dez Bryant and its upperclassman QB. Their defense should be improved from last year but I don't know if UGa has the offense to stay in this game.
The preseason pick is OK State -4.5.
Bang. It's on.

Let's Get This Season Started
WEEK 1
"Forester - Recently changed his facebook status to "In a Relationship". Has a history of picking over/unders, just a terrible idea."
Troy/BGSU - the O/U in this game is 56 and BGSU is getting 7 at home. This is Clawson vs Brown, a battle of former Spiders. Since Levi Brown had a good ending to last season and Clawson is still installing his system, I am not going with the over, but instead going to take Troy -7.
Levi gets his revenge for Clawson's decision to name Ward the starting UR quarterback (a decision that has worked out for all parties involved)
TROY -7
(after game comments: sticking with the over/under for the rest of the season)

Weakness...
That's what you boys are weakness. Once again the cyber league started with thunder, a little bit of empty growling, and then sad, sad silence. Kind of like a sexual experience with the Wrath of K.O.D. or for short the W.O.K.
Time to fire some shots across the bows, and let's get things heated, like Gerztoff in a horse stable...
I'll take the easy route and go afte equally obvious targets, now that Philadelphia is Vicktimizing the NiFfLe.
Isiah Thomas for all his dancing in circles with a tightly clutched ball in '81 and whenever Bill Lamebeer-brain rode him to an NBA title or two (seriously get a new victory dance) is the greatest con-man in NBA history. Why this dude still gets jobs as a decision maker is beyond me.
I couldn't figure out why Elgin Baylor or whatever-washed-up-too-tight-short-wearing- only-got-grainey-Zapruder-films-of-NBA-"legend"-that-g.m'd-the-Clippers kept his job for 20 years until I read the Clippers never wanted to win they were actually ran as a business designed to show profit (and somehow they did with a horsepiddle product), but I can't for the life figure out what sort of black-ops behind the scenes NY Knick plan justified hiring and not firing the world's worst sports manager. You think Isiah is holding equally grainy footage of him riding Magic's Johnson and is blackmailing the league?
Worst GM ever? Case in point:
Top 10 worst free agent signings of the decade:
You'll notice 1 through 3 are all Isiah Thomas signings, and terrible not just for the crap player but for a ton of other not thought out factors.
Add in the drafting of the Gamecock Fugees extra that was supposed to be the second coming of Dennis Rodman (if as a drunk they were right), having 12 roster spots filled by undersized point guards, and a personal life that is more Mike Tyson than the epitome of silky smooth good guy we once thought he was.
There was a time when Ike defended Bob Knight, and it was this glowing endorsement, Knight's credibility was at an all time low and Ike stood up for the former coach. It meant something.
These days, that bungled front office career has left Thomas coaching basically a NAIA team(what is it central florida state?) and things are so bad, Bob Knight would probably rather Luke "Program" Recker speak up for him than the smiling fraud. I did have "Car" Recker, but that was too low, and program works just take a look at Indiana, Arizona, after Luke left them, only Iowa seems half-way normal though piss-terrible.
Let's see W.O.K. check, check, check. Hank check. Shoats check.
Hmmmmm... who am I forgeting...
Football season is upon us, almost, and now we have the guy doing the Owner's verison of the reverse Midas touch of Isaih Thomas; Danny-Boy "Can't Get Off The" Schneid-er bringing another overpaid mediocre product to the DC market. He came in with the eager promise of another Jerry Jones, a guy who was going to turn the league on it's ear, a man willing to out Jerry Jones, Jerry Jones. Kind of like what Jerry Jones did to Al Davis, who once upon a time built a pretty decent legacy in Oakland then he lost the plot. What has Danny done? He just skipped all the years of success and got right into the Al Davis career portion of being a senile destory the team from the top boss.
Nobody needs a history lesson, but let's review just a couple of small items, everything the Jack was supposed to be is everything the new behomoth in Dallas is, in fact, for all the Redskins bluster their stadium was basically out of date within 3 years. I admit it's big, but like Schneide-r's ego it's little else.
What else... signing terrible overhyped over the hill players for too much. Firing coaches just as they finally get it going and sabotoging them with free agent cancer tumors. You know, throwing money at problems instead of common sense. Umm... summed up by Jeff George.
Anyway, I look forward to another year of averageness from the Deadskins. At least the cowboys rebuild even if they have to go to the bottom of the barrel to do a complete start over, Schneide-r like Forestor as a five year old just throws silly putty at a pile of legos and hopes a house will emerge.
So, we know one thing for sure the Redskins, the Dread(ful)skins, the Foreskins, will be blase like Ray Allen at best. The only thing that is interesting or noteworthy about that team is Chris Cooley being a vicodin short of pulling a Stephan Marbury on the world wide web (yeah, Isiah signed that guy too).
Don't tout their potential... every team from the old NFC East has been to the Superbowl more recently than the Redskins. That includes the Cardinals. Even Al Davis has been more recently than Danny Boy. So too, the Titans, the Flukeins, the Rams, the Seahawks, the friggin' Panthers, the Bucs? All told 20 NFL teams have been to the Superbowl more recently than the Skins. Skins fans should thank goodness the Saints, Browns and Jets organizations exist because the way Schneide-r's regime is going the wheels haven't just fallen off the bus, no, the Skins are a burnt out bus on the side of a highway in a third world country during a soccer riot. They might never get back to the superbowl. Obama needs to clean house locally and send a Death Panel to JKC stat.
Alright, that's most of you. I'll finish off the lot some other time. You're welcome, you all have been saturated as Mr. Juicy, got "Juicey Wit It" enjoy my theme song below. NSFW (Not Safe For Work) Video at least with the volume on loud. (BTW, Look for cameo by Jaime Patenude at the 1:20 mark and throughout the video, Ro-ro dancing in yellow, and if you look quickly Frank 3rd Degree Burns in a Richard Nixon mask).
Time to fire some shots across the bows, and let's get things heated, like Gerztoff in a horse stable...
I'll take the easy route and go afte equally obvious targets, now that Philadelphia is Vicktimizing the NiFfLe.
Isiah Thomas for all his dancing in circles with a tightly clutched ball in '81 and whenever Bill Lamebeer-brain rode him to an NBA title or two (seriously get a new victory dance) is the greatest con-man in NBA history. Why this dude still gets jobs as a decision maker is beyond me.
I couldn't figure out why Elgin Baylor or whatever-washed-up-too-tight-short-wearing- only-got-grainey-Zapruder-films-of-NBA-"legend"-that-g.m'd-the-Clippers kept his job for 20 years until I read the Clippers never wanted to win they were actually ran as a business designed to show profit (and somehow they did with a horsepiddle product), but I can't for the life figure out what sort of black-ops behind the scenes NY Knick plan justified hiring and not firing the world's worst sports manager. You think Isiah is holding equally grainy footage of him riding Magic's Johnson and is blackmailing the league?
Worst GM ever? Case in point:
