Its an auction so highest bid gets the team. Conventional wisdom is biggest spread. But im sure everyone is thinking that.

Im in a pool that you get paid if you have the team that has the biggest loss. Not ATS, straight up. It seems like Cal State Fullerton does not score many points. I think they only have one player over 6'7". I see Purdue stomping them. Line is 20.5. Again its not how much they lose ATS but straight up. I see a 25-30 point loss. Any other teams you think will get smoked worse? |

I ran into a guy at the club last night and he stopped me and said, "Man I can't believe Makaveli 23 disrespectin' the game by posting a record including undocumented picks saying 'oh i played this and it won, didn't post it but ima include it on my record"
I said "No hold on a sec your thinking about XxMakeveliXx" He said "Man no, i think theres only one" I said "You think and I know" I schooled him on the the fact that the REAL Makaveli DOES respect the game and would not pull some rookie move with posting an undocumented pick on his record. Well after 3 more Redbull and Vodkas this kid STILL would not let the shit go, he was saying this and that and saying he was right and was saying there was only 1 Makeveli and how I was the one confused and started going back to an argument that I had about how just all of a sudden Bewitched just up and changed between two dudes as the main dude. (Which I was right about that too, but its a different story). Well this guy kept trying to put me to task and saying I was the idiot, and asking who the hell would rip off a name on covers he started saying it wasn't like the Duke boys with a contract dispute forcing the producers to bring in a new Bo and Luke and I was a fool to think there was two Makavelis. Well I am getting drunk at this point and I came to the club to play blackjack and look up the skirts of them hoes dancin' on the bar not to argue about covers stuff, but I couldn't let the REAL Makavelis name go on disrespected. So when we were walking to the bathroom outside view of security I chin checked him. i said "Now the next time you open your jaw its gonna be sore as hell that's a reminder to check what you speak or your lame ass jaw will get checked" This is a reminder to everyone else: There is only one REAL Makaveli23 and it aint the fake one. |

Im not one to advocate trends, but this one tells me A LOT about the HC, it tells me that he knows how to utilize his 2 weeks to get his team VERY well prepared for their opponent... This Colts team is VERY beatable and I think Reid will have an Awesome gameplan ready for this one. Running the Ball is how you beat this team and with Vick coming back and needing to be assimilated back into his role, i expect to see a lot of handing the ball of to LeSean McCoy, he should have a Monster Game, netting 150 all purpose yds!! While the Colts are losing players every week, the Eagles are getting Back Healthy, with Mike Vick BACK and DeSean Jackson BACK, they have all of their Weapons... One thing the Colts Defense does "GREAT" is Stop opposing teams TEs which can hurt Offenses who utilize their TE but Vick doesnt seem to look Celeks way that often so this "strength" wont really be a factor.... The Colts "Replacement Players" looked pretty good lastwk, not great, but good... Anthony Gonzalez, who is VERY familiar with their offense and had 50+ Yds is OUT this week with a PCL sprain/tear so no theyre 1 less WR. Tamme will need to stay in more this week to block and off-set the exotic blitze schemes that Reid fires off, and listening to the announcers, Tamme is described as a "WR playing TE" so I could see him struggling in pass-blocking. Remember, the Colts backups looked GOOD against the 30th Ranked Pass-Defense and @ Home... Now they travel into Philly, against a Notoriously Hostile environment... I expect the Colts "Replacement Players" to look like Replacements this week, NO more Home-Turf, NO "friendly crowd" and NO 30th Ranked Pass Defense!!
I plan on Elaborating on the KC Pick, Seattle Pick, and Detroit Pick....Infact, I'll elaborate on ALL games if I have the time, i just doubt I will... GL Guys!! Thanks for your thoughts on this one. sorry you lost your write ups that does suck. your an asset to the Board and I wish you good luck on not only the games but in your job and family life and anything else as well. |

much love bets.
seems like Indy is hitting their stride right now and looked pretty impressive against Houston. I thought maybe Philly would take a step back, you seem to like them though. Thanks for posting. |

I wanted to get in on some action for NBA but know nothing about it. I am hitching up to your wagon and tail at my own risk I appreciate all the insight and say thanks in advance, this is gonna be fun.
One question. How much weight do you put into scheduling i.e. look aheads, long road trips, bad road teams things of that sort. Do you go more on your own power rankings or a combination? Thanks for the write ups and for contributing. |

Thanks for all your picks you share and remember even if you have a bad week or two along the way that is expected. Don't change anything you are doing just because you drop a game or two that comes with it. Good luck to us. |

umm yeah, he is truly a tout because he is picking winners and someone offered him money and he took it.
I wish we could ban all haters on this site and expel them to a hater island where powerade could be king. |

I am a UK homer and rarely bet against my Cats and I am all over Auburn tomorrow. I am just being realistic, QB's like Cam Newton will eat the UK defense up. I think it is the worst run defense they have had in at least 7 years. More than that they are killing themselves with penalties, the only way the hang is if they take care of that. Sure with some teams that is fairly fixable, but I am not so sure with this incredibly young team. Between being inexperienced at the line and the very porous rush defense I think Auburn scores at least every other possession. Hey, it's a cant lose for me, I win money or my wildcats win. I think ima win money. Enjoy the game my friend.

Man that Angela chick on the sidelines for the ESPN3.com coverage is horrible. Where did they fine her standing in line at Dillards and they just handed her a microphone?

FWIW the Congrove computer has only three dogs that should be favored, ECU is one of them. They have them at -3.86. (The other two are UNC and UCONN)
