    Monday Night Football

    Philly at home looks like the play vs. poor Minn. defence, but Cullpepper and Moss look un-stopable right now and don't want a repete of last year.

    My play for tonight is over the 50.5 points..........5*

    and if you want extra action tease Minn. on 7 point two teamer with the over for Minn. + 10 and over 43.5 points.

    Should be a fun game to watch tonight, a lot of scoring should happen!

    Good Luck!

    Nice pick!

    Vikings played great between the 20's, but inside the red zone they sucked! that is a shame to hold the ball almost twice as long as the other team and lose the game. O'well it happens, sorry thought the total was the way to go tonight.

    Thursday BIG Play

    Well I am at +1,553 since August, tonight I am putting out my biggest play of the year.

    I LOVE Miami, Fla. -30 vs Houston tonight..................30*

    I lose this game and I go in the red, that is how sure I am of this game.

    Good Luck tonight.

    In the RED!

    Last minute news from Houston made me SURE this game was a winner. I had it circle as a 3* even before, but heard Houston was going to try a lot of new trick plays just to try and keep their streak of not being shut out at home alive. They weren't even hoping to win, only to score against Miami tonight.

    Well they did more then score they covered the +30 point line the odds makers give them, final score 38 - 13 (only 25 point win by Miami) and a loser for me.

    From + 1,553 to - 97 now!

    Feel like my twenty just got beat by a dealers six card twenty-one...LOL.

    Whata gonna do?

    Rain for Monday night

    Looks like rain for tonights game. That might favor Washingtons running game (if Portis can hold on to the ball.) I am still taking the points and Dallas, but the total (under) is looking a lot better (36 1/2.)

    Good luck tonight.

    Tuesday Baseball & early Football

    Made up for last night +300 for baseball today, +9,397 total.

    Sorry I didn't give my series picks, I wasn't thinking about it until someone asked me. Three have already started so in the last one I like Houston (10*)to finally win a series. Other series play was St. Louis (20*), no plays on American league.

    Tuesdays plays I like:

    Houston over Atlanta......................5* WON

    Boston/Anahiem over 8 runs.............3* WON

    NYY over Minn...............................but no play (line to high) WON (no play)

    Lots of good collage football this week. Here are some plays you may want to get in before the lines change.

    Virg. -16 over Clemson...............................5* (THURSDAY NIGHT)

    BYU - 10 1/2 over UNLV..............................7* (FRIDAY NIGHT)

    Oklahoma -6 1/2 over Texas........................5*
    Okl. stops Benson and that stops Texas. Texas hasn't had to play a 2nd half yet, this is where Okl. distances them.

    S. Caro -16 1/2 over Miss...........................20* This line may be covered by halftime.

    Okl. St. -6 1/2 over Colo..............................5*
    Playing good (4-0), but Colo. tough place to play.

    Texas A & M -7 1/2 over Iowa St...................5*
    Playing good ball since being blown out by Utah in their opener.

    Pitt. -13 1/2 over Temple............................3*
    Pitt. is bad, but Temple may be worst ever.

    Purdue -11 over Penn St.............................5*
    Purdue just beat ND or they would be a higher pick, I am hopng they won't have a let down.

    Fresno St. -19 over TXEP............................5*
    Hoping for a big comeback after last weeks upset to LA Tech.
    Good Luck all.

    Another perfect day

    2-0 yesterday in baseball +400, 5-1 (one no play) for the playoffs so far.
    Total now at +9,797 since August.

    For Thursday I like:

    Baseball:

    St. Louis over LA................................10* WON
    *NOTE:This line was at 170 yesterday, but now it is up to 193 (almost 2 to 1). I believe St. Louis will win and should kill them, but if you haven't played yet don't or play the run line -1 1/2 at a lower price. 2 to 1 on anyone is to high of price.

    St Louis/LA over 9 1/2 runs...................5* WON

    Houston over Atl.................................5* LOST (in extra innings)

    Football:

    So. Miss -17 over Hous........................3* LOST

    Virg. -16 over Clemson.........................5* WON

    Good Luck

    Southern Miss vs Houston

    Southern Miss was lucky to get out of that game with a win. For about 10 minutes in the first quarter it looked like they might beat the spread, but it all went downhill after that. It took a comeback and overtime to deliver a W.

    My alma mater has never been known to run up the score much, even when they dominate the game. I'd be leery of giving up 17 pts against any opponent.

    Having said all that, man, what a great game that was to watch! I was there enjoying all the twists and turns, and there were many.

    Last of all, someone recently asked me if Rick's picks are endorsed by this site. Nope, they're Rick's alone, so caveat emptor. I have to admit his total is starting to look pretty good though!

    That was for you Ken!

    I see you saw my So. Miss. play, I did that for you Ken. I really thought they could cover that game, 1st quarter was 21-7 So. MIss. I ended up with a winning day anyway.

    +527 for Thursday, Total +10,324

    Lost Houston in extra innings, damm...lol, but came back with St. Louis and over to bring Baseball playoffs to 7-1 record.

    For Friday my picks are:

    Football:

    BYU -10 1/2...................................7* LOST

    Boston/Anhiem over 9 1/2..................5* WON
    Line has moved to 10 1/2 by Friday mourning.

    Boston over Anhiem..........................3* getting a sweep is hard! WON
    Both teams will be banging balls off and over the green monster on Friday.

    NYY/Minn. over 9 1/2.........................3* WON
    Homerdome gives up a lot of runs and NYY set record for homers this year.

    Best thing about my plays is they are free...lol
