    Moreover, the public is already betting the Saints thinking they have the ‘LOCK Play’ of the week and I certainly would caution anyone from thinking this a great bet. Here is a strong system supporting the Bucs that has gone 24-5 ATS for 83% winners since 2000. Play on any team that is a poor offensive team scoring 14-18 points-per-game and now facing a poor defensive team allowing 23 to 27 points-per-game after a loss by 21 or more points. Be careful with this game.
    I love Tampa Bay +4 1/2! That was my pick in Leroy's Sportsbook Three N' Out contest... Just like my Pittsburgh pick last week, Tampa might just win this game outright--outdoors on natural grass don't forget...

    Yes I own johnryansports.com, I post my articles and plays here at SBR. These picks are the foundation of my research. Not one of them has been a so-called 'free pick' and I release 20* Titans ONLY here at SBR.

    I have to back you up here John. I haven't been following you long, but long enough to know that you put a lot of thought and analysis in each and every selection. I have never felt that you were posting anything less than a quality selection. From what I understand, your neural network simulator helps to provide the foundation of your research and since I have been following, your selections are over 60% on the year (football and MLB playoffs). The 20* Titan selections (although I have only seen 2) have been money!! Thanks for your hard work and all you do for the forum!

    Thanx for the info John I think the Rams even with their horrible record this year they can be actually compete in this game. Week 6 coming up, I sure some teams will still come out win-less, but Im sure we all were surprised that some games were even that close.

    Thank you for the comments. Yes, the 20* plays are rare, but I am working on one now that is getting better adn stronger which each layer of research I complete. Thanks again. The 10* play also won just FYI.

    The record does not reflect any 'extra' bets or ideas. just straight picks and the current line (majority of lines) shown at the time I post.

    Geno's cheese steaks are the BEST! If any of you out there ever go to Philadelphia, PA you MUST and I mean MUST get a cheese steak there before seeing anything else. The Liberty Bell will be a better tourist stop after a fantastic meal at Genos!

    I agree with both of you. This was the surprise line of the week. Working on the research to see where it grades out. It just might be a 5* play.

    Supporting the graded play on Dallas is a system that has produced a 38-15 ATS mark for 72% winners since 2005. Play on road teams off an upset loss as a home favorite in the first half of the season.*Of the 53 plays made based on the criteria of the system 20 of them or 39.2% covered the spread by seven or more points. 

    System Supporting Upset
    Supporting the upset bid is the following system that has gone 21-8 for 72.4% winners and has made 18.5 units per one unit wagered since 1983. Play against any team using the money line after gaining 400 or more total yards in three consecutive games facing an opponent after outgaining previous opponent by 100 or more total yards in their previous game.*

    Play against any team that is an average offensive team gaining between 4.9 to 5.4 yards-per-play facing a team with a good defense allowing 4.5 to 4.9 yards per play and after allowing 375 or more total yards in 2 consecutive games.
    This system has produced a 26-6 record for 81% winners ATS since 1983. This system supports the Bengals. More matchups will be forth coming.

    How many of you think that Philadelphia just HAS to be a winning play this week? They are so difficult to read as a team. They are no longer blitzing and seem to be sitting in zone 80% of the plays run. They will continue to get picked apart on defense if they don't bring more pressure. What do you think the chances are that the Eagles defense can get enough penetration and pressure on Washington to force quick throws and crete turnovers?

    The problem is that EVERYONE thinks that the Iggles have to be a winning play this week. How could the "Dream Team" possibly go 1-5?

    They can, and will, or at least should. It is hard for people to warp their heads around the idea that the Redskins could be a better team than the Eagles but right now they simply are.

    In my humble opinion anyway.

    I love the Cincinnati Pick

    Still debating the Dallas, no dis-respect I still think New England has a great chance of pulling it off.

    Carolina is a team that I've been following and they are working their butts off. Carolina definitely has a great passing game and last week they show some sign of and up and coming run game (without Cam rushing). ATL is really questionable. If they losing the 1st half I think they win lose the whole game and If they are winning the 1st half they have a chance to win. One thing that stands out is 2nd half play, I was kinda iffy about the Green Bay pick last week but the game with SEA told me to go GB. ATL blew a big lead and didn't cover 6pts, but won the game against SEA. They had yet another bad game against GB in the second half and got ZERO pts. I have to go Carolina on this one. This may be a moneyline play for me this week.

    Carolina to win the game. (I hope) LOL

    I think if philly does put it together this weekend then the sky's the limit for these guy's there just needing a win to break out in my opinion this could be that week ( there certainly is enough pressure from all sides on them to SHOW something). It also occur's to me that new england seems to play at the same level as there opponents during 2nd thru third quarter, allowing opponent's back into the game this year then seem to wake up in the 4th to accomplish just enough to get it done. New England can be an explosive scoring team but seem's to play down to team's like Dallas, this weekend I really like that pick John thanx for all the great info.

    All year long the Eagles were favored in every game, and the last 1 against the Bills was a surprise to me as well. I must admit that I like em better as a dog since Vick is very fond of them. JK. All jokes aside, they have a good chance of pulling this one off.

    I'm curious what people are thinking on the Buff. v.s Giant's game let's keep in mind who the Giant's have beat this year not a steller team among the team's they have beat, Buff has a significant offense and I'm thinking laying 3 isnt a bad deal on this game. Buff along with the S.C.U -3 and under in S.C.U v.s cal plus the sjsu game picks you have rounds me out nicely this week. What are some thought's between betting buff laying 3 or taking the tampa bay game instead advise or insight?.spike B.T.W lesson learned calvani lol it is my money now, bol all

    I like the Saints this week but thats just me. As far as the Buffalo game goes I dont have a problem with taking the points. I'm doing well against teams that plays like crap in the 2nd half.
    Defensively the Giants shows that they can be exposed. Im willing to bet that they still have that lost against Seattle hanging over their heads. I know some may look at it as motivation to improve but the Giants every since their Super Bowl victory has just been in the background. If a Manning wasn't the QB Im pretty sure there will be less conversation about them.

    With Trent Cole out not to good.Also Wash is 8th in the league rushing vs eagles 30th rank rush defense and they have 3 good running back to attack with Torain,Hightower and Helu also a good Te in Fred Davis to take advantage of the eagles weak lb's core,add on a bye week and revenge factor from last years as whipping i like the Redskins

    Rumors of PHI bringing in a defensive "consultant" is a huge red flag, but their problem isn't getting penetration or blitzing. Their D-line has gotten to the QB more than most lines in the league. The problem is what's filling the gaps behind them. They are trying to put square pegs in rounds holes and asking linebackers/safeties to do things above their head. Heck they can't even do fundamental things like tackle. If you bet on PHI this week you're betting on their offense outscoring WSH because the defense won't be able to fix their problems in 1 week...especially without Trent Cole.

    But this is their season...it's all out do or die this week. The players have been holding player only meeting, having confrontations with fans/media all week. The big line movement suggests sharps are making one last stand with them...

    I am kind of confused here. I know John posts his NFL plays here, but where does he post his MLB playoff and NCAA football plays? Does he have a tracking system going on with those too?

    I like the Giants this weekend, as much as they pooped one against the Seahawks, believe it or not Giants are still in a VERY good spot. The "dream team" is doing real bad with poop record and going against the redskins while the cowboys are playing away against the patriots, a win here by the giants against a very poor defensive team, and I reiterate that, they do have extremely poor defense both against the run and the pass. Yeah they have turn overs and chances are Eli will turn it over, the Bills still can't stop the Giants offense with their defense. Giants playing at home as well. A win on Sunday can still put the Giants in a great spot and tied for first place on NFC east if things go their way.. If Redskins lose and so does the cowboys..

    Believe it or not, with Giants defense having just about the league worst in injury, they are still hanging in there and are still finding weapons on their offense. Victor Cruz is on fire, and nicks will be nicks. Jake Ballard have been seeing endzones.. Giants are just mustering what they can before heading into their bye week. They had tough losses but, after everything still being 3-2 this week puts them in a great spot.

    Bills have one dementional offense sorry, but if you take out Fred Jackson, Bills are NOTHING. Literally nothing, no open passes for Steve Johnson. Giants are natural Pass Defense team, althoug they haven't been playing good, because of their natural pass defense, it allows them to stack the box against Jackson..

    I will lay the 3 points this weekend with the Giants.

    Indy is one of the leagues worst against the rush and with Cinncinati having a prolific runner in bensen this can only help there chances of opening up on the colts both on the ground and in the air. With the colt's being tested in there depth with injury's and not being able to maintain a lead to finish off there opponent's. Curtis Painter has steadily improved his confidence level with more play and I think that will continue. I still don't see them having the team to stop Cincinnati from winning this game. I see this as another great pick by john and I have no qualm's at all giving the 7 point's here and taking this pick and including in my play's this week. I to saw the Tampa bay line tuesday morning and was surprised by it and don't see this as a bad play at all. But where I personally am at with mny mngmt, I'm taking spot's that can offer me a little more value I like the 2 unit bet on dallas to win outright, Maybe for guy's without huge capitol (like me) as an IF bet cowboy's win the +7 at 5 unit's. This becomes a great value. Thank's again for the thread here I think it's the best on the forum and look forward to another good week. Still a newbie here but trying to learn and stay open to good advise.... . .spike
    ( john remind's of a horse hanicapper after doing speed figures for 3/4 of a meet at his own track almost spooky in his spot on analysis and absolute confidence in his ability I.E the s.j.s.u parlay over Hawaii took alot of flack and stuck to his gun's)
