    I hope we can have an online handicapping class 101 for the NFL on Covers. We all know there are many minefields to navigate before purchasing your ticket on an NFL game. I will start the class. I made the same mistake twice this weekend. I took the inferior qb/coach combination in 2 games. IMO the qb/coach combination is the most important factor in capping a contest. My mistakes' were selecting Kirk Cousins/Raheem Morris over Justin Herbert/Jim Harbaugh on Sunday afternoon. My 2nd mistake was last night. I chose Jameis Winston/Kevin Stefanski over Bo Nix/Sean Payton! You can not make the same mistake twice in the same weekend and hope to stay on the plus side of the ledger. This will be the threads starting point. I promise you we all will learn something inside this thread. Please feel free to discuss your favorite handicapping strategies.

    Hank , bigred says that you’re mad at him because he sold you some linoleum that he shipped to you himself …..

    and that you and the Mrs. like to get a little freaky and do “ the get down “ on it sometimes on those frigid Wisconsin nights …….

    but that’s not the reason that she’s cold so stop blaming him . Thanks .

    Years ago I used to sell shower curtains but I didn't supply the rings to with them 

    Fatal flaw an_lightening 

    All I needed to do was team up with a top shower curtain ring sales man and we'd both be filthy rich today  an_speak

    Bet 5 Play Over Parlays and get rich
