Da Mansters all sports picks thread!

[USCPHILLYGUY]

Manny - Welcome back pal. Condolences on your Redskins.

Welcome back brother

[Da Manster!]

thanks L-Kid and USCphilly.......good to be back and kicking ass and making some money......L-Kid, you were robbed on that Wazzu game...SJST sucks ass and the Cougars dominated on both sides of the ball...should have been an easy cover and clean sweep for you...but nothing wrong with going 3 - 1...

@gauchoJake....thanks my brother!...good to see you as well......yes, I'm very pissed off about my foreskins right now...to the point where I might not even cheer for them anymore unless both Snyder and Bruce Allen are gone...we are a mickey mouse organization and the laughingstock of the league because we continue to do things ass backwards...the Kirk Cousins debacle was the last straw for me...as a matter of fact, I'm seriously thinking of adding Arizona Cardinals (-1.5) over the Redskins as a "nail it, pound it" play...but not just yet.

[Da Manster!]

just in case anyone missed it...my "nail it, pound it" play for today is...

Baltimore Ravens (-7.5) over Buffalo Bills for 2 units

[Da Manster!]

Arizona Cardinals (-2) over Washington Redskins for 2 units

[swordsandtequila]

Welcome back Manster! Best time of year! Was all over that Miss St. game, should have made it my 2x in BTP. Good luck this year, will be checking out your thread for inspiration

For shits and giggles, in honor of your return:

13 pt. 9-teamer, +270

Minn +6
Cincy +14
Balt +4
Tampa + 23.5
Hou/NE over 37
LAC +9.5
Chi +20.5
Det +5.5
LAR +8.5

[Da Manster!]

thanks S&T!...let's make some bank!.......I should have just stuck to my "nail it, pound it!" play......I will from here on out!..

1-1 (0 units)...current YTD record is 2-2 (+1.5 units)

[Enkhbat]

Tough loss on the teaser, Chargers losing by 10.

Good luck this season

[swordsandtequila]

Teaser was fukked midway through the 2nd quarter. Between idiotic game/clock management (chasing 2pters early in the game, not using timeouts properly late) and Travis Benjamin deciding to slather his hands in butter before the game it never had a chance. Surprised Rivers didn't have an aneurysm after all the big drops. No biggee, you take your shots. All in all a good opening weekend. Took the fuk'n prick down anyway

[jjgold]

Why is this guy not starting not starting a new thread I don’t want to see all this other garbage from previous year

[Da Manster!]

Baltimore Ravens (PK) over Cinci for 3 units

[Da Manster!]

My survivor pool this year has 90 contestants...$50 per player...$4,500 jackpot...winner take all...no buy-in's after losing...

Week #1 pick: Baltimore Ravens

Week#2 pick: Los Angeles Rams

[Da Manster!]

0-1 (-3 units)....current YTD record is 2-3 (-1.5 units)

[Da Manster!]

2TM 6.5PT teaser (-110) for 5 units

Boise ST (+7.5) vs. Okie ST
North Texas (+12.5) vs. Arkansas

[KVB]

Good Luck Manster!

I picked Boise St to win last Monday morning. The line move is promising.

[Da Manster!]

thanks KVB...we got this......I should have jumped on it at (+3) when it first came out...but I'm with you...Boise ST is an experienced team with 16 returning starters from last years squad...this would be a huge victory on the road against a formidable power 5 conference opponent and that is what the Broncos need if they have any chance of playing in a New Year's Day bowl and having any shot at all of making it to the 4 team playoffs (assuming they run the table)


adding Boise ST (+1) for 5 units

[Da Manster!]

0-2 (-11 units)...Boise St a bunch of frauds...totally outclassed by Okie ST...just like last year, I'm off to a slow start but I will rebound and finish strong like I always do......it's a marathon, not a sprint...current YTD record is 2-5 ( -12.5 units)

[KVB]

Boise St. and Houston both duds for me today.

We'll get it next time Manster.

[Da Manster!]

Thanks KVB.......we will bounce back!...

4TM Parlay...risking 1 unit to win 7 units (+700)

Washington Redskins(-4.5) vs. Indy
LA Chargers(-5.5) vs. Buffalo
KC Chiefs (+6.5) vs. Pittsburgh
Eagles (-1.5) vs. Tampa Bay

[slugee]

Looks good. Thanks Manster!!!

Have you looked into backing teams with alternate spread? I see you like teasers - why not try to sell points for a change?

All you would need is pick three teams who are likely to win by several touchdowns. Suppose you go with Chargers, Falcons and 49ers. Back each for 1 unit to win 5 with alt spread or -18 or -20. You would only need one to turn profit. Your first Baltimore pick won by 40+. It is almost certain to happen again!

[Da Manster!]

@Slugee...didn't see that one coming, brother...who in their right mind would have thought the Eagles would have laid an egg in Tampa after having 11 days of rest?...of'course my skins stinking up the joint when the whole world picked them to win this game with the exception of Lakerboy...but now it's gonna be 5 units plays from here on out...best bets only...

I've been gambling for 35+ years and have never done that...buy points for alternative spreads...you are not going to make a living doing that...especially in the NFL...way too much parity...using your above example, I would have gone 0 - 3 today and down 3 units...I'll stick to what works for me......and do I appreciate the thought and suggestion...

[Da Manster!]

0-1 (-1 unit)...current YTD record is 2 - 6 (-13.5 units)...only best bets and "nail it, pound it" plays from here on out...at least a nickel or 5 unit plays.

Wouldn't say the Eagles laid an egg as much as the Buc's offense is the real deal. They finally understand they're a passing team first and it shows in the play calling. On the other hand, I'm probably the only idiot who took the Skins in my survivor pools, including one worth 28K. Was gonna take the Chargers, but no, gotta get cute. Dumbass

[Da Manster!]

sup, S&T!......I took the Rams in my survivor pool...pretty much a no-brainer...easy winner...your bucs are for real!...I'm not so sure that they are a passing team first but I will say that Ryan Fitzpatrick is the real deal that makes them a much better offense...he's a better pure passer than Jameis Winston and can read defenses a lot better...they are running better than a well oiled machine...QB controversy?!

Gl pal

[Da Manster!]

thanks L-Kid......GL on your wagers as well...I don't do horses, but if I did I would certainly ask you for some advice......this is going to be a make or break weekend for me...if I get hammered, I'm probably done for at least a month.

[Da Manster!]

1 - 0 (+5 units)..current YTD record is 3 - 6 (-8.5 units)..hopefully, after tomorrow's action, we will be in the black!
