My bad. A complete error on my part.. To clarify.. I lost with the Saints last night as a 5* play and so far I have a 5* play 'OVER' Baltimore/Pittsburgh and 5* St. Louis Rams over Philadelphia. I will present these in an orderly update shortly. I do like the first half 'over' Ravens/Steelers as well.

**Dexter** · 09-09-11, 11:53 AM

common mistake when you're using computer algo's....GL this season.

**NickS8753** · 09-09-11, 07:12 PM

thanks john. good luck with the picks!

**the_orangekat** · 09-09-11, 08:20 PM

GL John

**Reno Gambler** · 09-09-11, 08:35 PM

Good Luck this year! Your are probably used to the ribbing

**TMoney33** · 09-09-11, 09:52 PM

I do like the pick on STL. There appears to be value in the ML @ +180 on Carib.

Tough beat on NO. I was leaning that way too. It could have very easily covered.

I hate taking any Overs in the first four weeks, but I do have the PIT total projected to be 38.

GL, and I'll be looking forward to more of your analysis.

Yes. I do.

**the-phenomenal-1** · 09-10-11, 10:49 AM

rigged

i think the rams cover spread phili will win by a fieldgoal vegas going to rig this game cause most of public taking phili they might even call up vick and say make it close win by a field goal at then end so we can cash in with the public

**BigBurk** · 09-10-11, 02:42 PM

Good luck with your plays this year. Will follow most of them, since I dont know anything about the NFL myself.

**John Ryan** · 09-10-11, 06:44 PM

OK, Hope everyone has had a good Saturday of profitable CFB betting. I want to recap my 5* Monster Plays for Sunday. First, my record stands at 0-1-0 as the Saints failed to cover against the Packers. I do believe the Saints were the right play, but even though they were on the one yard line when the game ended it is still a loss. Believe me there will plays where I win and I have no business even being in the game, but that counts too. Best of luck to everyone and here is the recap.

5* Saints - Loser
5* OVER Steelers/Baltimore
5* Baltimore + 'OVER' Parlay
5* Chicago Bears
5* Philadelphia St. Louis Rams

Optional 3* Rams on the Money Line - will NOT be counted in the standings.

i am going to release a 10* play here at 6:00 PM ET for the Dallas/New York Jets game set to start Sunday night at 8:20 so be sure to check back. Moreover, I wll be posting additional threads as these games progress. If you are a half-time player I may be able to offer some assistance and guidance for that as well. Look forward to seeing all fo you no later than Noon ET Sunday. Cannot wait!!!!

**John Ryan** · 09-10-11, 06:47 PM

And just another note. Losers of the previous Super Bowl are 1-12 ATS if they start Week 1 on a road tilt. That makes Baltimore and the 'OVER" a solid parlay in my opinion...

**ChuckyTheGoat** · 09-10-11, 06:50 PM

GL, John. Enjoy your work.

When is the cola-party?

Talk is that Balt Def on the decline. Certainly could be a case of Balt Def reality being < reality. Living on borrowed time. I could see Ray Lewis hitting the wall this yr.

What is the bet?

**imp4pdabest** · 09-11-11, 12:17 AM

I'll definitely be checking out Johns results tomorrow. I wish you good luck man, look forward to following you all season.

**LastSonKal-El** · 09-11-11, 12:31 AM

not sure about the over, but i am digging baltimore. BOL

**Redman** · 09-11-11, 01:23 AM

I'm going to have to fade on the Baltimore pick.

Rams over Philly if I'm correct.

**John Ryan** · 09-11-11, 06:42 AM

Sunday Morning... 10-years since 9-11. I worked there and lived just two blocks from the towers... It will be a great day at all of these venues as each game will celebrate the lives that were lost and so much more!

I'd like to hear what some of you are looking at this morning. What handicapping techniques have you found to work? I am going to follow the betting public flows and post some of the 'glaring' ones around 11:30 AM this morning. Being on the Book side is a very good start to a possible play.

I appreciate the encouragement and I am hoping that you will learn a ton about handicapping the NFL from me this season. Welcome to you as well!

**Sipe17** · 09-11-11, 07:00 AM

Ummm...he put himself in the situation.

I think you are right, BUT the line still reflects the public's long-term belief that Baltimore=amazing defense. I think things will be different today.

**no1here** · 09-11-11, 08:57 AM

I am always looking for someone to follow and to learn from but come up empty and most bets taken from forum loses.
I like what I see here and your write ups are extremely long with knowledge. Hopefully you do have some magic and I will be betting points in Thadd thread from your picks. Haven't bet sports in years but decided to do pro football this year using Bodog and had a good preseason. They have very good promos pretty much assuring me of winning. I put 40% of my bankroll on the Lions plus parlaid with Denver. Only other selection was Balt but did not bet. Yesterday when looking at all o/u, the pitt/balt over was one of two receiving star therefore I love your parlay. I also liked St. Louis and Chicago so very easy to bet the points.

**Vreston** · 09-11-11, 10:18 AM

Good Luck with your picks! Hope you have a great season.

It's always good to have guys going to the trouble of doing write ups for their picks. You can't win 'em all but you can at least try.

**AikenJ** · 09-11-11, 10:35 AM

good luck on the picks, im goin for balti as well

**LastSonKal-El** · 09-11-11, 10:51 AM

up to how may points do you like the over?

**imp4pdabest** · 09-11-11, 01:28 PM

John's Baltimore/Pittsburgh pick looking good.

**str8ridah** · 09-11-11, 01:43 PM

Picks looking good so far John.
