Like em all except the last one. Would rather lay the 65c than the -1.5 on Detroit as well.

BTW, I'm still shocked you say Nash is a better PG than Billups. Steve might be the most overrated player in the NBA, definitely when it comes to PGs.

I saw that comment as well. I thought he was joking.

RJT, how did you end up overall with last year's MLB season?

I'm down for all but the Royals, they just don't put runs up like Boston does, and it's at Fenway....

Sure, Nash is overrated. But what's with the fascination regarding Chauncey being an elite PG? Seems like ever since his '04 Finals MVP he went from being recognized as a nice player to a borderline franchise guy who makes every big shot. Shit, it's not like abusing a 35-year old Gary Payton is a great accomplishment, and Tony Parker, before he could shoot a lick, did the same to GP two rounds earlier. Nash might be one of the most overrated players in the league, but the whole Pistons team (minus Tayshaun) is the most overrated group of players in 20 years. Not sure I'd even categorize Billups as a true PG. Guy's a below average passer/playmaker. He's also ridiculously overrated in regard to his defensive abilities. Obviously Nash's D is inferior, but at least he doesn't have the reputation of being a good defender. Chauncey has no lateral quickness and regularly gets beat off the dribble. His rep. as a big-shot maker is also way overblown. I'm far from a Nash fan, but if he had the fortune of playing in that terrible conference, he'd have accomplished more than Billups.

Started out strong, then was basically treading water until June, at which time I took several weeks off as a result of some personal issues. Got hot for a few weeks at the end of the season... Finished +42, from which I was almost exclusively flat-betting.

I will be on the Orioles as well. I am most likely going to be on the Angels to. Plus keeping a eye on the Indians and Reds line.

Good luck RJT.
