I can't do it bc I'm a pats fan but I feel like you have to take the points with them every week until they kil you. That defense is pathetic

Tampa should be giving points, but the Pats are a 4-point favorite instead

ETA: It helps with perception that the Bucs barely beat New York at home this week.

Pats are a mess. Ever QB has torched them for 300+ yds this year. No pass rush for them.

Yes. Didn't buy in this year but testing out how I would do if I did

Been posting my picks in here every week



You cant do that. Making picks with no money on the line isnt the same as making picks with nothing to lose. You will be under alot more pressure unless you dont give a shite aboutt he $1500.

I would never join it. Its basically a $1500 lottery ticket because too many people play it now. There is 2750 entries. Take your $1500 and bet on the games. At least you have a chance to make some money.

I mean I'm still betting these picks

I'm simply picking my "main 5" for the supercontest just to see how I would do since I didn't drop the cash for it


And it's not like I'm trying to brag here. All my picks have been posted before the Thursday games

Im not saying anything about your picks. Im saying the $1500 is throwing money away. Unless you can hit 60% you wont win anything. Thats not easy to do all year.

Good luck my man I hope yall in the money. Curious why yall took Atlanta? Bills was one of my best bets this week. I havent been posting plays, been busy, but Im not doing good this year. Playing too many games and been too busy to try and cap so im fading the public, instead of looking at this stuff.

The Bills +8 was easy. Bills have 2 coaches from the NFC South. HC McDermott and the DB coach. Both of those guys know Atlanta inside and out. The stats for passer rating, Bills were much better than Atlanta both offense and defense. Also Bills hd a much better yards per play on offense and defense compared to Atlanta. ATlant also had 4 starters out.

Nice W for the Seahawks. Colts roster without Luck is pretty rough.

eh, it's hard to win, much less cover, when you lose the TO battle 3-0, give up a defensive TD, and lose your top 2 WRs in the game.

not sure where you're getting this, Atlanta was #3 coming into today with 6.5 offensive ypp and Buffalo was #26 with 4.6 yards per play. Buffalo was only .5 defensive ypp better than Atlanta

Sorry, I didnt explain it well. I take the difference and rank the teams.

Buffalo ypp on offense was 17.12 total offensive yards(rushing and rec combined) per play ranked 22, their defensive ypp was 22.57 ranked number 1

I subtract the off ypp from the defense and get Bills 5.45 which is ranked #3

Atlanta doing the same was ranked #10 with a diff of 1.65

Im in the process of using the numbers to come up with a predicted point spread but I dont expect it to spit results that I can just blindly use. It might be worthless but just something else to look at.

Good luck this year.

If it's just a $10 bet, I'll just pull for KC -6.5 and my $300.
