I dont make my own odds, i bet what books offer, for example, some of the teams i pick are underdogs, i pick them to beat the spread or cover by the spread offered.These are the teams i think will either cover the spread or win by as many as the points.
 
There are 8 games: 6-2 or better.
 
Broncos v Bulldogs( broncos by atleast 7)
Dragons v Cowboys (Dragons by atleast 9 points)
Eels v Wests Tigers(Wests Tigers by 2 points or more)
Panthers v Sea Eagles ( Eagles by 1 or more points)
Rabbitohs v Storm (Storm by 9 points or more)
Raiders v Sharks (Raiders by 12 points)
Roosters v Titans(Titans by 10 points)
Warriors v Knights (knights by 1 or more points)

Id love to hear your reasoning behind some of these picks


West Tigers by 2 or more

West Tigers have lost 5 in a row and something like 8 in a row against the Plegics



Robson >Farah
Mortimer > Benji



Dragons by at least 9 over the in form Cowboys


When is the last time the Dragons beat a good team by 9 or more



Broncos by at least 7 against the Dogs

Have the Dogs even lost a game by 7 or more this year?




















120-16

i'll be waiting a little longer to make my pick as swine flu has seemed to hit the rugby league world and some players (mainly the queensland origin players) 'may' be in doubt. but we'll see. personally i reakon most of the players will be cleared to play. but better to be sure when money is involved

Just curious, could you name 3 players from each of the teams you have listed above?

21picks you are probably going to get some of these picks right but who cares if you are not giving reasons for your picks.

broncos at home - never thought they'd be favourites, nor the Dragons. Pity you missed each line by a converted try

Eels at home coming off a road win against a team thats lost its last 5. Never thought they'd open favourites

The stab in the dark got the Storm right

You missed the Raiders and Titans lines by more then a converted try

So you weren't actually "accurate:. If you were a book and put up these lines you will get hammered

I can't stand 365 - I had it out with them a couple of years ago. They even called me long distance in the middle of the night once to iron something out.

I finally said c-yuh

Are you kidding? They are one of the worst going around, as mentioned above will cut you after your first win and reduce stakes to an absurd level.

I only use them for their live video streaming now

US Open courses suit him perfectly, it's the US PGA course set ups that troubles him

I will look at that early next week. I'll be posting my H2H's as usual, and will be looking for some nice outrights. 7 of the last 9 majors have been won by 3 men, and 5 of the last 8 by men (and niether of the 2 are Woods)
