The Jets are hard to figure out period this year. I will see what my database and sim come up with. Every year there is a team or a few teams that can make you look like a genius or a complete fool on any given week. The Jets seem to fit that mold this year.Comment -
That is a good resource certainly, but be careful because those percentages are there, but we do not know how many bets to how much dollar volume is on those bets. You need to know those two extra factors to have a more meaningful consensus data. Hope that helps Perhaps I can provide my overall Consensus data later in the week say Saturday afternoon and we will see how it compares.Originally posted by suitorComment -
Buffalo defeated New England, one of the best teams in the NFL and Buffalo gets no respect from the public. They have been the doormats of the AFC East for years and it takes a while for the public to adjust their interests and sentiment in a losing team like Buffalo. Philly, however, is even more loved by the public because they are 1-3 and just HAVE to win. Well, no team HAS to win or is DUE to win. It may pear to be the case in hindsight, but the Eagles are in deep trouble right now. They are capable of turning it around, but there are so many problems to resolve.Originally posted by K2daLComment -
I would love to look at it John. I was just speaking my mind to see if I can make some sense out of it. You on the other hand have a more in depth look at the situation and I am one to try and learn. I am a student of the game trying to master the art!
Thanx John you really made me look at things in a different way, positively of course!Comment -
Kc 38
@ Indy -2.5
Man I dont even know where to start with these two. KC 1-3 vs Indy 0-4. The only impressive thing about these guys are that they are both tied with 2-2 ATS 50% winners. First of all where is the offense at? Currently KC in 30th in total pts average per game, 30th in total passing and they are about average with rushing yard at 14th place. I didn't want to be specific about the #'s cause it not worth it for me to post. Indy is pretty much on the same level, 28th in pts per game, 26th in passing, and 28th in rushing. These two are tied at 30th place averaging 270 total yards per game LOL. Get where Im going with this? Defensively they about even as far as total yards go, giving up about 380 yrds average per game. The thing that scares me most is they gave up pts to their opponents. Kc allowed 31.5 pts and Indy 27 pts average per game. With no offense and a very shaky defense I dont know whether this game is going to be OVER or UNDER. What do I do in these type of situations?
John please give me your thoughts, ThanxComment -
John,
Out of Footbal topic...
Ur thought for Yankees game today????
Thanks in advanceComment -
[quote=John Ryan;11693697]This reinforces the fundamental theme that a lines maker job is to set a number where he knows he will get nearly equal action on each side. They could care less, who wins the game. There are of course times where they do get over loaded on my side, but will keep the line static as to not get 'middled'.
SOMEWHAT DEBATABLE, THERE ARE TIMES WHERE A MANAGER WILL TAKE A RISK ON ONE SIDE, WHEN KEY NUMBERS ARE NOT INVOLVED.....LINE MIGHT OPEN AT 7.5..(FAV)....THEY MIGHT DRIVE IT UP TO 8, 8.5, 9.,9.5, JUST BELOW THE KEY NUMBER OF 10 , AS THEY KNOW SHARPS WILL COME IN THEN, ......IF THEY THINK THAT SIDE WILL WIN, REFERENCE (WONGS bOOK ) SHARP BETTINGComment -
How does teasing Cal up to +31 and und 72.5 sound?

Thanks, but keep in ind this thread is based on a 2-way street of communication. That is why I believe we are all becoming better handicappers and game analyzers.Originally posted by PickMeAwinnerComment -
I missed this last night as i was 'hangin' out in the CFB thread focused on that game. Each week I have one single game that we completely tear apart over the course of the week. i will post the link to the new thread once the new game is identified for next week.Originally posted by Jay2k1civic
In hindsight, I was thinking of second half play on Oregon figuring the coaches would rip into them, but having Cal +24, UNDER Cal, and a teaser Cal and Under i felt that by adding second half Oregon was just adding too many plays and too much risk.Comment -
Just as a note and a reminder to everyone. I have a CFB thread started so that we can keep the CFB and NFL discussions and analysis separate. Also, I will be releasing the NFL 5* Plays this afternoon.Comment -
Ok. Friday afternoon. I will be Game 5 tonight in Philadelphia. Will send Game updates and hopefully a little video of the stadium, the fans, the atmosphere, the food, the whole thing will be incredible. I do have a 5* play on Arizona today Just FYI.
I am 13-6 ATS for 68.4% ATS winners. Here are this weeks 5* plays so far.
5* Kansas City (yes again) +2 over the Colts
5* Houston -5 1/2 over Oakland
5* New England -8 1/2 over the Jets
There may be more as I move through Sunday night and the totals data and simulations.Comment -
Here is the thread for the baseball game.
I will do my best to send live updates with some video. Should be fun.Comment -

GL ya'llComment -
Last year Boise State beat Fresno State 52 - 0 or something like that and back then Boise state was ranked #10. Now Boise State is #5 and I can see the big improvements or maybe its just because Fresno State got worst.....doubt it though.Comment -

No offense but is this a joke? They lost 2 top 20 receivers in Titus Young and Austin Pettis. Fresno State has gotten worse.Comment -
