1. Rules - We will play the top three teams in NBA and NFL, the top ten teams in NCCAF, the top fifteen teams in NCCAB.  These teams will be determined weekly by covers.com power rankings on each individual sport for tracking purposes only.  (I am not affiliated with covers.com); therefore, it is easy access to track for all of you!  Weekly records will be kept through Sunday night of each week except for NFL football where Monday night game includes previous week.
2. Injuries, trades, suspensions etc. do not matter.  There is no handicapping involved with this system.
3. Line used will be covers.com closing line.
4. When two teams play each other on the power ranking list it is a no play on that game.
 
The following are past results from week 1 of each sport except NCAAB which starts at week 3:
NFL - 16-15 ATS
NBA - 24-20 ATS
NCAAF - 53-32 ATS
NCAAB - 13-4 ATS
These results are through 11/29/08.
 
I will be updating results every Monday since this is when the new rankings usually come out.  Please feel free to check my results on covers.com -- I may be off a game or two from human error or too much beer!

Too, too funny!!  That's exactly why I couldn't stand CC Sabathia before last year in Cleveland.

gasman, today's plays would be bost,lal[nba]
mich st.,duke,pitt,mich,wake.[ncaab]
no play on syr-gt because both are ranked in top 15.
refer to beginning of this topic for rules.
i update whenever new power rankings come out which is usually tues. or wed. or depending when covers.com decides to release them.
i'm testing this over 2000 games so we have along way to go!
i believe this system would do better against the opening line
than closing because these are public teams! alway's looking for an edge!

what I do in the NFL , is after each team plays 4 games
does that team have 3 or 4 wins, or 3 or 4 losses.
 
Play on the winners and play against the losers.
 
This season there was 16 teams in this angle
and what I do is :
I come up with a goal to win say 5 dimes, divide
that by the number of teams and get the base bet.
 
Looking to win once with  each team on or against them.
 
This NFL season had me wager 330 to win 300
on each game and double up if it lost.
 
Well I ended up winning $4300 and my record
ats overall was 16-14.
