    Last ultimate race I had a fun thread until all the drama started. I was in contention and fell off like a rock late. I know it's a contest but I will be making my picks with insight once again. You can fade or follow but in the end the only thing that really matters is that everybody has FUN. Starts tomorrow!

    November 1st 

    Chicago Bulls at Minnesota Timberwolves UNDER 192

    Back 2 back for the Bulls and I doubt they'll want to push the pace coming off a OT loss to the Cavs. They have the defense necessary to contain this Love less Wolves offense. I would expect a low scoring battle tonight.

    Arizona Coyotes at Carolina Hurricanes over 5.5

    Hurricanes get a chance to really do some damage tonight against a bad team that's coming off a back 2 back. Good chance Carolina can get its 1st win of the season here but the better chance would be the total. If Carolina covers this total by themselves tonight, it wouldn't surprise me one bit either.

    Air Force -3 at Army

    Even with their spotty defense, Air Force still has the better offense. They can actually throw the ball this year.

    Pick 4 pending (I'm skipping CFL and waiting for the later NcaaF)

    You can do that in this contest. Who knows why but you can.

    Stanford at Oregon -7

    All the anger and frustration from losing to Stanford in years past will show up tonight. Marcus Mariota will finally get his 1st win against his arch nemesis in appealing fashion. Sometimes good things come to those who wait.

    You can wait to avoid picking various leagues, but it's also easy to forget to return and pick during a busy day and may get shut out.

    2-2 yesterday

    Extra hour of sleep really helped. I went with Arizona +1.5, Seattle -13.5, Clippers -9.5 and Colorado Avalanche.

    The hockey and nba games today pretty much are coin clips. I couldn't find any edge and it's hard this early in the season especially in the NBA. I know, sometimes waiting until the last minute or trying to avoid leagues in this type of contest isn't necessarily a good thing. They have a habit of taking games off at a high rate and sometimes they never get put back up or when you submit, it won't go through.

    1-3 yesterday  3-5 overall

    Couldn't even break even yesterday. Not a good start at all and I don't feel confident with any of the games tonight. Complete coin flips for me. If I had to pick the strongest one it would probably be Denver Nuggets considering Kings played last night in LA.

    Colts/Giants over 50
    Denver Nuggets -7
    Rockets/76ers over 202.5
    Blues/Rangers over 5

    Best of luck this race, I was very intregued last race, then there was all the name calling and back peddling.  You did hVe a great race though.  I will try to go back to back top 10 finish.  This could be a challenge, but I feel like I am without a doubt the best capped, so I will do my best. Let's not get down in the dumps early, we all know you only need to hit 6 out of 10 to be in contention.  Best of luck this race.  Tell you what, I'll give you a free one for tonight, egg you back on track.  Strong lean on the the raptors tonight at +1.5.  Take it or leave it, can't give out more than 1 winner a day, or you boys might keep pace.  Peace
    See you at the window.

    Where have you gone?   Free pick tonight that I won't miss putting on my card like last night ( darn I'm stupid), under in the battle of Ohio. Gl all. Only 1 winner per night.  Get back soon with those picks.

    Started off horribly but the funny thing is once I stopped posting, now I'm winning more. I've won 3 out 4 the last 2 days. 

    13-11 to date

    Kings at Suns -1.5

    Got this because of the bad line. Couldn't pass this up.

    Memphis at Temple over 46.5

    This total kept on dropping but it's dropped a little to low to pass up.

    Ottawa at Toronto over 45.5

    No idea about the CFL but we have to pick it. Your guess is as good as mine.

    Oilers at Sabres +102

    Battle of two bad teams, I'll take the home team.

    Pacers and Raptors made it very obvious that someone had big bucks.on the UNDER 194.5. 5 of 6 free throws missed by decent free throw shooters and a layup that hit the bottom of the rim as time ran out in the last 50 seconds. Final score 100-93.
