    The 2012 NFL with John Ryan

    We are less than three days away from the opening game of the 2012-2013 NFL season. The first game takes place Wednesday Night. I truly can't wait. Last season, this was by far the most popular stopping place for NFL wagerers and I look forward to another highly successful season. Feel free to share your picks and pans and to always provide a few reasons why. That is what makes this thread one of the best on the internet.

    like Dallas.... looking to hit a + 4 1/2 line. I also think this game plays OVER...

    I liked your picks last year and reading your thought process. I like your picks here. Looking forward to this season. Keep up the good work.

    Love Atlanta on the road against KC. Got this line at -1.5 and it'll probably hit -3 by kickoff. Really like the new scheme on offense for Atlanta with Julio Jones being the focal point; he should have a monster year. KC will try and control it on the ground and slow the game down, and they might actually succeed between the 20's. What about the redzone though? Atlanta has more playmakers than KC and already feel KC won't go over 8 games this year, mine as well fade them here; Atlanta is the superior team.

    I like what you are thinking here. No doubt, there will be far more play action pass opportunities available to play makers. When done the right way, play action , is the most deadly play to an unsuspecting defense. Just ask the defenses, who tried to play against P. Manning.

    10* Play Dallas + 4 -110

    I don't think we will get the 4 1/2 level as I had worked for the past two days. You can always wait till game time, but I think I'd rather put down an extra little play on the money line to win SU.

    Have to admit, that I feel I am either going to look 'dumb' or 'brilliant'. I don't think this game plays close if I am right.

    Some very large best have been reported at Cantor Sports and they are on Dallas. Line has moved to 3 1/2 everywhere but Bovada. Five Dimes is +3 1/2 -101 so you could buy the 1/2 point and not be paying much above regular vig...

    No running play by the Giants with Dallas nose tackle Ratcliff out. Puzzling there

    Eagles must be happy watching those offenses misfire.

    A bit surprised by the second half line. This will not go on the record, but taking Dallas +1 1/2 I think is a solid bet.

    John, do you have anything for 9/9/12? Need to bounce back from a severe beating I took yesterday. Nothing seemed to go right for me. Missed your CFB picks. Looking to bounce back today.

    Ok. Week 1.. No better time to remind all of you that a disciplined approach is imperative to the success of making money over the season. I have learned there is no room for emotion to enter into the decision making. Can't blame a play call, ref call, or any other poor or lucky execution on a loss.


    plays for today:

    5* Cleveland +10 -110
    10* JAX +3 1/2 -105
    10* Rams +9 -110

    10* UNDER Pittsburgh-Denver 46 -110


    Just as a side note, I will not be on-line again till later today. I have a family commitment to attend. But, PLEASE continue to exchange ideas and thoughts about all the games in my absence. Many of you have awesome and very intelligent things to share with everyone. Let it fly.. Let it spew..

    Im glad ur back John and ill be tailing u

    One thing though, i remember last year u put out some optional plays

    I dont think you should put these on the forum as its harder to keep up with your record and also some dikks will give u grief for it

    What was ur record last year?

    Im a few hundred up already thanks to ur plays already

    Keep up the good work

    Thanks for the picks. I should have read your sentence regarding discipline. I went wild and took GB and Car. bad mistakes. I think the unders would have made it had it not been for the last min pick 6. Thanks again. Do you think you'll have anything for Monday night's games?

    I cannot believe that Philadelphia is being bet UP... what do you all think? I love Ravens at +2 1/2 but it could get to 3 soon.
