New York Giants +3.5
Quote: steeldcoWeek 4, Thursday's Pick:
New York Giants +3.5
After the Skins strong performance Sunday, I am curious why you are going with the G-men Thursday? They did have a nice win, but c'mon, it's the Giants.
Is the half-point over a field goal the key?

I was thinking the same thing as Aye, I like the 'skins. I think they are a better team and they are home. But that extra half points scares me. Therefore, I'm laying off this game.

Aye, I just saw your post and I just don't remember off the top of my head the stats well enough to give you an answer. I'm not home where I have my database. I will try to look it up and post tomorrow morning.
Quote: chickenmanI have the Redskins straight up in an office pool but also have interest in the answer to this so patiently await your update.
Straight up, I think the Redskins are the pick for sure. I'm just not confident giving up 3.5 points ATS.

Ayecarumba, I show the Redskins to be the better team by 1 point. Therefore, I am taking the Giants plus 3.5.
I use between 15-20 variables and these two are awfully close in total. Again, 1 point.
Keep in mind that they have had a common opponent this year. The Giants just beat the Texans 30-17 in New York, taking a little air out of the Texans' balloon after they started 2-0. Conversely, Washington lost to the Texans, in Texas, 6-17 which gave the Texans a bit of momentum.
Lastly, the Giants losing to both Detroit and Arizona was less surprising than the Redskins losing to Philly and Houston.
Very interesting. I think the Redskins could dominate the game but the Giants upset win was impressive enough to scare me off.Quote: steeldcoAyecarumba, I show the Redskins to be the better team by 1 point. Therefore, I am taking the Giants plus 3.5.

Quote: MidwestAPWell contrary to what I said earlier, I played the Redskins ML tonight at -160. Not for a lot, but I just think the Skins are a better team even on a neutral site, and they get the game at home.
Well, the spread is down to -3. Happy with the +3.5 here.

Quote: AyecarumbaHome dogs are supposed to average 51%. Do you think your picks will continue to fight the pull to come back to this average?
I fully expect that all of the picks hit better than average, whether they are home dogs, or home favorites.
New York Jets +9.5
Quote: steeldcoWeek 7's Thursday night pick is:
New York Jets +9.5
Are you putting real money on this line? I think it will be either very close to this line, or a complete blowout. Given the track record for the Thursday night games, I am leaning toward blowout. The short week is a killer, even if you are only trying to recover from small aches and pains.
Quote: steeldcoJet straight up maybe........
Wow... why? Brady seems to have settled into a nice 40 points per game groove, and the Jets are still a mess. I think they'll get 12 - 18 points on the board.

My algorithm has the Patriots by 5 1/2.
To me, that's a turnover away from a Jets straight up win. At +400 on the M/L, it's worth a shot.
Quote: steeldcoMy algorithm has the Patriots by 5 .
My Al Gore Rhythm is still crunching the numbers
It seems the general public likes them very much. Brady has become just average.
So, since I'm playing with my crystal balls......my call is that either New England wins 27 to 20, or the Jets win 21 to 20.
Quote: steeldcoBTW, New England has been the most wagered on team this season, per covers.com.

He says Pats 37, Jets 13.

Yes. He says bad weather is tougher on the defense.

Ayecarumba, maybe you should rename him Fade?

Hehe... "Fade-O"
He was right on the moneyline and the over though, so I still gave him a treat. He promised to do better on Sunday.

I'll give him the over. The Moneyline, however, that was dicey. He won but there was no value there. Give him half a treat.......

Hehe, I suspect his grudge against Michael Vick was influencing his prediction. I'll have to take a second look at his Cleveland/Jacksonville pick this weekend. For some reason he always chooses the Browns over teams with cat mascots.
