if i dont do anything on the second halves of hawaii or oregon and hawaii covers i am down two units for the day...hawaii loses and im down four units

many more losses than wins but my wins carried more weight....mike riley and wyoming thank you

[PhillyPhreak54]

Same here - more losses than wins but a couple of the wins hooked it up...even if I lose the two ORE bets then I finish up a bit.

I am done until tomorrow...no 2H bets...gonna hope ORE covers the 18.5 and 19 I have em at

[ice grillin you]

i think i actually might put a nickle on each of my pick em pool nfl bets....i feel kinda good about them....if i end up on the losing end i will never bet nfl again

[PhillyPhreak54]

who did you take again?

[ice grillin you]

oakland
sd
indy
dallas


arizona but thats not a real pick and i wouldnt put money on them

[PhillyPhreak54]

like IND and SD...I think TB has a shot to cover that 9

Think PIT works OAK

[ice grillin you]

dallas is so up and down....i think at home this is one of those weeks where they win huge and espn spends all next week pimping them as a superbowl contender

theres no reason pittsburgh shouldnt dominate but the line is way to soft....also i think pittsburgh is overrrated in general...before the season i had them at 8-8 for the year

[PhillyPhreak54]

Agreed on PIT - I don't like them as a team for the year. But in this spot I do think they will cover just because OAK, once again, has been terrible. Gregg Knapp's offense is shtein. If they unleash McFadden then it could be interesting but if they stay with what they have been doing Pittsburgh covers.

I liked TB before the season because of their draft plus Freeman/Williams rebounding. I could see the Bucs defense smacking Romo around a bit even though Romo plays the Bucs well usually. I will be taking TB because of the points.

[PhillyPhreak54]

Steelers are on the BYE next week. Pre-BYE Road Favs are 21-4 SU and 15-9-1 ATS since '07. Tomlins Steelers 4-1 SUATS Pre-Bye.

saw this on another forum

[ice grillin you]

none of that makes any sense to me except that if you are favored on the road you are probably a much better team...thats the reason for the 15-9 record...which imo isnt a huge number for teams that clearly should win...too much in this game points towards the steelers big...most of all the line...oakland will step up steelers will be exposed for the average team they are and i will win money
