Where are the links to your thread bud?

I got in trouble in another forum for just telling people to google my WordPress blog (not spam / nothing to sell) by typing my user name into Google, so I'm trying to be careful...

Mods - if I'm breaking any rules, just let me know.

I just started posting on forums like this about 1-2 weeks ago, but my blog has been up all year.

I have been on a hell of a winning streak, but let's get the full story straight... I have essentially three levels of picks every single week... I spell these out in detail, and in advance...

1. "Money plays" - top plays average about two picks per week. 2011 Record: 19-9-1.
2. SuperContest Picks / 5 mandatory picks every week (this is the record you're quoting above from Oct 30). 2011 Record 38-24-3.
3. Pick every game (for a private pool I have with some friends - I have not been posting these). 2011 Record 103-82-8.

I'm posting my picks in this forum going forward as well... I'm all about transparency.

really think PHI will cover spread against MIA?

Arizona v San Francisco
the line is drop now, San Francisco -3.5

It's look though a very obvious pick, I hope you're aware the fact that 49ers starters will not play heavy minutes at this point as they had secured a spot & will not risk it to just clink divisional title, Zona will play like they got nothing to lose & this is where they are most dangerous.

but i like Houston +2.5 or Houston ML for value

good luck

This is the most stupid thread ever, put some stats to confirm your records bro!!! I would like to check that wordpress site, anyway really???

That cover on Thursday cam just cause of a twisted knee, anyway i dont think Philly will cover tomorrow, i mean i dont see Michael Vick coming back on his 1st game and just kill it, their only chance is if Lesean gets around 2130 or more yards, Miami has a pretty good run defense and they have been hot for a few games now!!!! I would say that miami wins by 5 or 6 points (3 units), something like 16 to 21 Miami!!!!

And for the Arizona game i think that SF will easy cover those 4 points, AZ offense is horrible with K. Kolb under center, the only chance for em to win is to throw a lot, they have great WRs, but is just no going to work if u cant complete 3rd downs, in the other end u have a world class RB a decent QB and a great Defense, they know all they have to do is take care of Larry and they can put pressure on Kolb, for what concern the meaning on the game i think is huge for SF, they will not waste an occasion like that on a divisional game, they would probably save their best players for next week against Pitts, who would like to face Jamal Harrison anyway???? They will play and i believe the score would look something like 24 to 16 for the 49niner (2 units)!!!

But maybe im just drunk.....lol

He's legit

thebestthereis · 12-11-11, 07:44 AM

Texans are at least in my two team teaser

RealRickBennett · 12-11-11, 10:55 AM

Thanks for taking the time to check out my plays & verify, "The Expert"... I'm also going to try to find time this week to post my past picks for the 2011 season on this site, but the WordPress blog had dates & timestamps on every post to keep me legit.

I'll keep posting picks on this site too... so just start following me now... I'm 2-0 in my posted games from last week, and nailed the Thursday night ame dead-on (even thought it was only a "lean".)

Wouldn't SF still be interested in a first round bye, thus wanting to win this game and staying ahead of NO? Thier starters will not play heavy minutes.....?

RealRickBennett · 12-11-11, 03:41 PM

That's the way I read the Niners game too... I think they still put their "A-effort" on the field to improve their playoff positioning... first round bye, home field, etc. Unfortunately I got a bad number on the game. I saw it move from -3.5 to -4, and thought it would only get worse from there. Did not anticipate the line coming back to -3.5.

Sweating hard on the Texans right now...

RealRickBennett · 12-13-11, 03:49 PM

Alright, so I ended up with a bad number & bad result in the Niners game. Record for Week 14: 1-1 / season: 20-10-1. (SuperContest pick 5: 2-3 / 40-27-3.)

I also posted a long message to my SBR account blog which details every pick I've made this season - both for the two or so top money picks and for the five mandatory picks for the Hilton contest. You can also always verify on my WordPress blog also.
