      Final card has 11 games...9 on Saturday which will be a big day to determine how the rest of the season will go. With that slow start I have had to climb out of it and have posted some pretty good numbers 3 weeks in a row. That being said I wouldn't mind a 8 or 9 win Saturday!

        I think a good many started off slow and have needed the past couple of weeks to get on the possitive side of the number. We all know you should lay off the first couple of weeks but we are so amped to get thing rolling that it's nearly impossible. So we dig a little hole. Now we've crested the surface, time to fill it in and turn it into a mound, a hill or even a mountain.

          I've talked about some of these games all week and given leans here and there. It would be dishonest to give someone an opinion and be confident in doing so without backing it up with something of your own. I added these games lastnight.

          Add-ons:
          Mississippi St +22.5*
          Iowa ML +105*
          Arkansas +7* (bought the hook)
          Minnesota +17* (bought the hook)

          Good luck everyone.

                  Thanks tblues and Twins. This is by far my favorite card of the entire season. That concerns me a little because I am generally very skeptical of my plays and am more comfortable dealing with doubt than confidence. Will be hard to keep up with the run of the past two weekends but as long as we finnish the day ahead it will be good.

                        I got cocky and I got burned. This week’s card was the best feeling card I have had all season. I knew that feeling that good wasn’t right and it turns out it wasn’t right. The games I lost today were never in doubt with the exception of Northern Illinois. Idaho was beaten by 25. Arkansas who I actually thought would win outright lost by 13. Minnesota lost by 25. I didn’t just lose these games I was totally beyond wrong about them.

                        I pushed it this week trying to prove that I didn’t always play the square side of the games. Well if it takes square plays to produce consistent winning Saturday’s I’ll be the friggin mayor of Squareville from here forward.

                        The program gave Georgia Tech, Oklahoma, Penn St, TCU, Oregon, Cincinnati and Marshall all as winners and I chose to not consider them in favor of the games I posted.

                        Final Result:
                        5-4

                          Its called profit bro. You didn't lose money right?

                          Besides Hindsight will eat away at you. Just look at what made those play undesirable, and don't make the same mistake twice.

                          on to tomorrow.

                            hahaha for real Wal...I went 7-5 which I'm also not REAL happy with...but profit is profit. As long as you're not in the red it's a good week. Especially in weeks where it looks like most lost

                              I went 7-4 two weeks in a row. Dbldown went 7-5/ I consider that to be very good. We are in the black. Wal that is all that matters. Good work.

                                A winning week is a winning week. Good job Wal. Our expectations are pretty high. My 4-4 was like a complete disaster compared to what I expected. None of us are happy paying juice. At least you made a small profit.

                                  Houlihan, DblDown,Ada and Coug's you are all right. I shouldn't complain as I know some had worse weeks. I was more disappointed about the 3 games that were so far off it looked bad on my capping them. I know none of us can acheive perfection and that's not my goal but when those games are that far off I have to question what I was looking at so wrong.

                                  I do this every week after the games, I just chose to vent openly this time. Everythings cool and expect this coming week to be a solid one.
