Dave makes a run at the lead

As I sat comfortably with a 7 game lead going into week 15, Dave does a sneak attack on me!!!
Dave went on to win 13 games so far this week against my 7. So now my lead is down to 1 Game...
He did a great job of winning those 13 games but we both have Indy tonight so I go into week 17 with a 1 game lead.
NEW RULE
I no longer except calls from Famington, NY(or where ever you live).
Until tomorrow.

thursday,s pick

Alright, I am having a hard time over Thursday's game. But I have thought it out. My method might be wrong but I'll still use it. Seattle will cover the spot. They will win their division, with a win, and bury the team that might challenge them, all in one night. So give me Seattle at home giving 9.5 points.

Joe

Early Results Week14

Well Mitch is trying to make his move with 11 wins yesterday. Three people had 10 wins, Jim R, Jim A and the sage. The sage is the only one of this group that took St. Louis tonight, so I expect that Mitch will be tied tomorrow with me at 11 wins for the week.

YMCA

I was just talking to Buster and he asked me a question.
He said that we hear the song YMCA , by the Village People, when we watch baseball, but we never hear it when we watch
football and he wanted to know why.
I told him that it must be because of TV time outs.
But does any one know the real reason?

Jackie had 10 wins even with a push in the Giant game. Dave had 8 wins and Jackie and him are tied for 3rd place right now. That will change tonight as Jackie has Carolina and Dave has Philly.

Joe's Thursday pick

OK, I'll try not to ramble too much, here goes.
Baltimore is a 3 point dog on the road.
Since Billick fired Fassel (5 games ago) Baltimore has won All five times. A win over Cincy should give them the title in that conference. Baltimore on the road this year as a dog are 4-1. In their Div. with no spread their 3-0. As road dogs their 2-1 but have covered 4 of the last 5 games.
Cincy has a record of 2-3 at home with no spread. In the div. they are 3-1. And I think they covered the spread only 5 times this year ( I don't want to look that up ). So I'll take Baltimore with 3 points.
But who knows?
I forgot to mention the pass rating of McNair, before Billick took over play calling McNair's pass rating was 64.7. In the last 5 games it's 99.1.

Well it was a good week for some members. Rich, Joe R, Jim R, Jim A, had 10 winners this week. Never have we had 4 winners going into Monday's game. Two of them will have 11 wins unless there's a push tonight.

Good luck to all tonight, except Rich and Jim and anyone else who picked Seattle.

Is thier something about football that runs in a blood line?
Joe

I told you weeks ago!!!!

I told you weeks ago to watch out for Colleen. Colleen has 8 wins so far this week and has a good chance to clime up the rankings tonight. Only 2 people won 8 games Sunday, Colleen and the smart one. By the way both of them have Minn. tonight.
Colleen did tell me her secret, she takes "Football Weekly" To Caden's class and has them work out the math. The class should be going to MIT. Until tomorrow.

Rant

How can T.O. get away with his Rantings on the sidelines?
I'll tell you how, even though Parcells, is known as a disciplinarian, He acts the same as T.O.
Who has not seen Parcells, yell at a player during a game, on the sidelines, even if the player was walking away from him. The two are the same, both want to win and both don't know when to keep their mouth shut.
So Dallas has a problem and the owner is on TO's side, because TO is a play maker. So I wish Dallas luck (sure I do).

Week 5 Scores

Rich and Colleen, tied this week to win. Look at Colleen's total. She is just 3 wins away from catching 2 other players (and she was locked out of 13 games).

Week 5

Well it was a hard week for all in the ATS, with 3 pushes. Their will be a tie for the winner for the week, but I don't know who yet. Now there is some good news in the standings. Jackie will remain in first place but she might not be alone. It all matters on tonight's game. I'm not going to tell you who HE is but let ME just say GOOOO Baltimore. Tomorrow I'll post the sheets. Till then GOOOO Baltimore.

Bears V Buff

Did I here correctly, that the Bears have only given up 2 TDS all year? And one was an interception that was ran back. The spot went down a point, what's a Buff fan going to do ? Find out Sunday.


Joe

Bears

Well the Bears are ranked number 2 by the NFL power ratings. So this weekend shuld be lots of fun as the BILLS cover the spot!!!

Standings

Ok after I got a complant about not listing the standings here they are (or just the top 3). But before I list them there is a listing on the sheet, and it is a thumb nail so I thought YOU could figer it out.

Jackie Is in First place with 34/24
Joe is next with 33/25
Rich and Shawn are tied at third with 32/26
And next are a lot of ties.

Joe

I just did a Google search and came up with nothing , So this quote is mine (or some body eleses). Here it is ,if any one can tell me who said it, please let me know; "A good coach wins but a great coach covers the spot).
Joe

New Leader

Jackic, last year's winner, has taken over the lead, with a 10 and 3 week. She is now 34 and 24. Thats is better then some of the sports books. This is an odd stat: if your last name starts with an R, you are doing good , execpt for 2 and Colleen is concidered an R (nee ).
Now for some good stats: Carolina has not covered yet. Miami the same. The same goes for Zona.
New Orleans is the only team that has covered every week.Some BIG spots this week, like 18 and a half(Tenn). So good luck all.

Week 4

Well I went 7-1 on the 1 o;clock games so I knew I would win this week, But nooo Jackie beat me Sunday with a record of 9-3. Good going Jackie. She also took over the the lead. She has 33 wins. Colleen is ahead of Mitch and Joe H, this week but that could change tonight. We had another push this week. So stay tuned for the postings tomorrow.

Joe

Offence player for Sept

Grossman , The QB for Chicago, Is the offence Player this month. This will make Mitch happy.

Winning % problems

OK I received 2 complaints about the averages: 1 I do round up and down ( I'm not going to carry it out to the 15th decimal point )
2 IT'S CALLED WINNING %, so the push counts as a LOSS.
Hope everyone understands it now.

Joe

Buff chances this week

The Bill are only scoring 33% from inside there red zone, not to good. Minn. just lost a heart breaker. So I think it will be a close game. The Bills will pass the ball too many times again and will have turn overs. I'm taking the Bills but would not advise anyone else to. Good news for Jim R, I'm NOT taking the Giants this week (Bye ). I hope Jim A., is still going to play. We will see sunday.


Joe

Morton Anderson

Again I'm Wrong, Morton Did his job Sunday. Someone told me he is 46yrs old. I wouldn't play Atlanta if I thought it would be a close game. But I'm sorry I called Morton a moron because it's a good pay check. The MORONS are the one's who can't find a better kicker them him.

Thumb Nails

All the sheets are thumb nails, so if you click on them you might be able to read them.

This is good. Now a push counts as a loss. But I subtract nonbets (lock outs ).
So Jim A. Has 13 less losses ( 14 games and 1 was a push ) and Colleen has 13 less losses ( 16 game week and she got in for the last 3 ). Here we go;
Jackie 500%

Jim A. was locked out this week.
Sorry about the spilled coffee.
Check for errors.
Colleen and I both had 7 wins. Thats the best this week.

Good quote from Joe Buck

About 5 min into the third quater of the Giants game as the camera is showing a well endowed cheerleader, Joe Buck said " Both sides have late replacements". Good for her.

Well week 3 was a bad one, Jim A was locked out of all the Sunday's games. Everyone is strugling to get to 5oo this week. the only exception is Colleen, she had seven wins yesterday (good going Colleen). We had a push on the Indy, Jackson game and that herts us all. I'll do the sheet tomarow. Hay, can anyone tell me why the NFL will have a preseason game in China next year. All I can think is that it has to do with MONEY.

Just to let you know, George and the Yankees DID move their triple-A teem to Scranton. OK, so Bob M was right.

Joe

Rant

Buff is home this week and is the favorit. Now I don't know if they will cover. Why you ask? Well they have played a run game, except for the last part of the game against New Eng. But now it is their home opener and they might think that they are better then they are. So I think they will pass more and pass deeper then they should.They have not had a turn over yet, so I think 2 in week's game. Maybe both from passes. And is this the last year for Willis? We will have to wait till Sunday for the first one and next year for the second one.

Joe

Well I posted the stats. It took me most of the night, hopefuly you like them. Now I can play some stud. But before I go, what is this thing with MORON Andrson comming out of retirement. I guess that NO one from all the collage teams or high schools can kick as well as a 42yr guy. I might still have a chance.

What's going on in Buff, they play a good game at New England and beat Miami both on the road. Could this be a better then a 500 team?
Mulerky(?) did more for Buff sunday then when he was their coach, with his play calling.
Rich is going into tonights game with a 12 and 3 score and he is the winner this week. Rich will not be in first place after tonight do to bad luck last week. We have to keep a eye on him. Every one did good this week, with 1 game to go. No one will be under 500 this weekend nomater the outcome of tonights game.
I have to ask, could the Giants play any later in a game then they did sunday? Where was that team i the first half?
Is Tampa or Oakland the worst team in the NFL?
Is the special teams in Buff that good?
Is Miami that bad?
What will Green Bay do?
More tomarow.

Joe

Yes I took Green Bay this week . Also I'm sure Jim R. would like to know that I didn't pick the Giants this week.

Joe

OK, I know this post is not about football. Jackic just called toto tell me that the Yankees are changing to Scranton, She herd Bob M. on the radio. Well don't belive Bob. I called Bob and it's a strong rummer. Let me tell you the facts; George has ties to Ohio State U. and his hie wife lives in Clambus Ohio and he lives in Tampa Fl. (I wish I had that arragnement) What is the only reason For the Yankees to move to Scranton Pa. ? Travel money. As if the Yankeees can't afford a plane ticket. And Scranton's deal with Philly goes for another year. Bob said that it will happen because Cashmen is running the team(BS). Take my word that no change will hapen.

Joe

RANT

How can Dallas stay with Drew? Bill P ( I hate that man, not for beating Buff, but what he said after the game ) has got to do something about his boy. Drew. Bill has to know that, Drew is not a winning QB. If he dosn't know after last week, T.O., will tell him soon. Looks like a fun time in Dallas.
Can Buff win in Miami? I think they can or at least cover. They will have to run the ball more. More then they they did in the second half of last week's game.
The Giants never cover when I take them. Good tip to remember.
Me going 8 and 8 last week is a big let down. If I went 4 and 12 well thats a run of bad luck. If I went 12 and 4 then i'm GOOD. But Going 8 and 8 I could do that by picking teams out of a hat.
Now I know i'm not the brightest color cryon in the box, but I had Green Bay winning outright last week. They have been home dogs at only 4 times in the last 10 years and they covered every time untill Sunday.
And can anyone tell me why the NFL played a game at 10:30 Mondat night.

Joe

Well week one is over and Joe H went 10 and 6, the winner this week. If you scowl down you will see the sheet. please check it, because I make errors. Colleen joined the ATS late sunday so she is down in the books as going 2 and 14, even thow she only played 3 games(not bad for only playing only 3 games).

All the picks are in, only 2 people took Pitt., Dave and guess who. ME, Miami has a QB that limps onto the field (now I limp too, but I can take viagra and i'm all right). Miami has been over hyped.

But Miami is getting 1 point as of now. I want to ask HOW. Even the NFL has no idea who is Ben's back up.
Miami is a good team ( Joe's thinking). They should win out right. But I see bets the other way, THAT is what makes the ATS.

Football stares this week. Hope you got my email. Sports at this time of the year is great with baseball (the Yankees V anybody) and Football going at the same time, what more could ask for. Good luck.
