5 Horsemen handicapping strategies

[TonyP]

I took okie state in another contest LOL and they up by 7, go clemson

[runner5k]

Nice win by Clemson! Now lets go Minnesota! Mike and Rio what are ya'll putting in as your 3rd plays? I'm leaning Miami or TB

[mikemca]

If we all agree on the minimum I guess we could just list our picks and see if any match up or we could just rotate either 3 players get 1 pick a week or 1 player makes all 3 picks for the week.I like Minnesota Vikings at home +3.5 the most.Detroit sucks against the run and they are going to have to stop the best RB in the league.That will also keep the Lions passing game off the field. Others in the NFL I like in order Oakland Raiders +3.5 Miami Dolphins +3 Chicago Bears +3.5 Buffalo Bills +9 Carolina Panthers -3 In College these are my favorite plays Clemson --(pk) Kansas St--(+12) Arizona St--(-2.5) Mississippi--(+10)

In College these are my favorite plays
Clemson --(pk)----------------------------------WON(35-30)
Kansas St--(+12)-------------------------------WON OUTRIGHT(28-24)
Arizona St--(-2.5)-------------------------------WON(43-22)
Mississippi--(+10)------------------------------LOSS(27-13)

I went with Houston.

[zebra58]

i'll be also if minn

[runner5k]

Vikings looking good so does miami and houston! I'm probably going TB since 3 guys I fade all have huge plays on Atlanta and I already liked TB with that line

[TonyP]

looks like me and Zebra might be the only losses this week

[runner5k]

Vikings 2nd straight game of chocking at home!! AT least we got the push!

[mikemca]

Crazy very disappointed in the vikesgot the cover on the fins though

[runner5k]

yes sir and with it we get at least a positive first week in units and if TB covers we should be pretty solid.

[runner5k]

Week 1 Recap- 7-3-5= 3.6 units

Solid first week boys!!

[mikemca]

On fire this week



Others in the NFL I like in order
Minnesota +3.5---W(Came down to 3 at gametime for push)
Oakland Raiders +3.5---W
Miami Dolphins +3---W
Chicago Bears +3.5---L(Might have covered if not for a phantom hold)
Buffalo Bills +9---W
Carolina Panthers -3---W

In College these are my favorite plays
Clemson --(pk)---W
Kansas St--(+12)---W
Arizona St--(-2.5)---W
Mississippi--(+10)---L

[zebra58]

not very solid at all, could be worse though lol

[robdel]

Great picks, Mike. Do this week in/week out and you are a rich guy. lol

Working 6 day shifts now that FB is in full tilt now and we are short peeps. Will get in those contests when I have a little more time.

That's 70 percent we do that each week and we will be right up there! If minn had held on it would have been a huge week

Thx ...Its a little unrealistic to expect those kind of results often

That's 70 percent we do that each week and we will be right up there! If minn had held on it would have been a huge week

I'll take that every week.If you split up the 5 push games that makes us 10-5 or 9-6 .Plus there is reason to be optimistic considering we could have even done better.

[zebra58]

70% was great though i don't think that wins this, maybe wrong

you guys post some plays mid-week? also think them hogs get a&m?

[runner5k]

Yeah I'll start looking at the lines around wednesday!

[alexy]

Monday night football????

Mikemca

First, congrats. Outstanding picks. Are you going to avoid monday night nfl games?

[mikemca]

Mikemca First, congrats. Outstanding picks. Are you going to avoid monday night nfl games?

Thx,No won't avoid them at all.Just didn't really like the game tonight.Maybe the Redskins ML a little




***Guess the Skins with the points was the play.Don't know how they lost that game.

[mikemca]

What does everyone think of the Arizona Cardinals?I already took them for the "high roller" contest at +1.5.It might drop even more by gametime.

[runner5k]

I think cardinals win straight up but also think public will back gaints heavily and we might get more points

[mikemca]

Seems that way but since the line opened the Giants were taking most of the money(80% of the spread $) and the line dropped from them -2.5 to -1.5.Looks to me like another case where the books want all the action they can entice on the G-men.

After an early look though there are a lot of good college games so no biggie if we wait on the Cards.That was just the only NFL game that jumped out at me.Maybe the Raiders a little too.I'm becoming a fan of them.

are we back with the hogs for some redemption last week, lol

[TonyP]

NFL New Orleans looks good now before it moves up to much, Green Bay before it gets above 13.5,

[mikemca]

College

Florida +4
Kansas +6.5
Syracuse -2.5

[TonyP]

were can we see the teams leaderboard?

[TonyP]

Arizona is dropping fast, got on them in another contest

[runner5k]

were can we see the teams leaderboard?

Sadly I dont think we can its only showing individual results. Maybe whoever is in charge of the contest will start a thread with team scores but i think they might wait till the final week

[zebra58]

i'll leave it to you guys to agree on 3 this week, i think we should stick w/plan all in on 3

[zebra58]

are we back with the hogs for some redemption last week, lol

sounds good lol

[mikemca]

Arizona is dropping fast, got on them in another contest

Started at +3 dropped to +2.5 then to +1.5 and now at +1.I'm going to get on them now before I end up giving points by Sunday
