    Sunday's Fades

    i'm off to an almost perfect start in the nfl... 1-10. whaddya mean, that's not what people consider 'almost perfect'? jacksonville (+3) 1 unit. seems like everybody is on tennessee. at 0-2, teams get desperate. at 0-3, teams start to dread the long season ahead. balt/ne over (45) 1 unit...

    Saturday Plays

    had a great day last saturday, including what will probably end up being my largest play of the year on temple. which means i'm due for a bad week. fade away. georgia tech (-5.5) 1 unit. after a heart-breaking near miss against lsu, the bulldogs now have to face the option. never a good...

    Sunday NFL

    off to a terrible start in the nfl, but i finally had a great day yesterday, so maybe that will carry over. all plays one unit. tennessee (+1.5) this was going to be a much larger play, but it seems like almost everybody is on the titans. that is never good. at least the line has moved...

    slow start to the season. and i'm probably not helping myself with my nuckin' futs top play today. temple (-3.5) 3 units. even while getting dominated by penn state, the temple offensive line actually opened some holes against the nittany lions. psu's linebackers and safeties kept those...

    alright, time to get selective. ohio st (-21) 1 unit. it's incredible how much flak tressel took after last week's game. holy crap, for them to stay that close to usc is amazing. if he tried to get into a track meet with usc, they would have been blown out. he probably did just about as...

    Thursday Night

    just polished off a nice martini, and figured i'd better post this while i can still type. georgia tech (+4) 2 units. ok, everybody knows the jackets ran for 472 yards on the hurricanes last year. but everybody seems to think that will motivate the 'canes this year. really? so they weren't...

    NFL Week 2

    had a little extra time tonight, and there's a chance i won't be able to operate a computer sunday morning, so i'm going to post early this week. all plays one unit. carolina (+6) one of my favorite angles is to take advantage of overreactions to week one. example one... suddenly everybody...

    Sunday NFL

    a few small plays to start the season... cleveland (+4) 1 unit. with ol' wishy washy quarterbacking the vikings now, the browns don't even have to single-cover minnesota's receivers. they can put 11 in the box to stop AP. oh, and the browns have an actual head coach now. no more romeo...

    Saturday Plays

    normally i like to ease my way into the season, but there's too many games i like today. so, as a wise man once said... 'get busy livin' or get busy dyin'.' so here we go... psu (-28.5) 2 units. psu is laying one more point than they did against akron. and syracuse, on the strength of an...

    National Championship

    just a bad, bad day on saturday. missed the big one with uconn (why would i ever take jim calhoun against tom izzo?), but i'm more pissed about the small play on the over in the unc/villanova game. after 89 points in the first half, wtf happened in the 2nd half? alrighty, water under the...

    Final 4

    we're really all the way down to the final four again. damn, these seasons just fly by. uconn (-5) 3 units. while michigan state was a nightmare matchup for louisville, that is not the case for uconn. still not an ideal matchup, but uconn can play the halfcourt game. for me, the biggest...

    Sunday NCAA

    thanks to a missed layup at the buzzer, i hit my bigger play yesterday with uconn, so another small profit. and if nova missed just a few free throws, who knows? maybe pitt would have won that game, too. they really didn't deserve to win, the way they played though. michigan state/louisville...

    Saturday Hoops

    well, i was on the right side of all 3 blowouts last night, but couldn't win the close one. hard to believe there's only 7 games left. uconn (-6) 2 units. missouri's style of play is the only thing that gives them a chance here. a game like this is where the loss of dyson really hurts...

    Friday Hoops

    it didn't take long to piss away all my profits from the beginning of the tournament. playing all 8 games on sunday was, uh, pretty retarded. but i knew that before i did it. which probably makes it even dumber. oh well, let's just keep regressing... playing all 4 tonight. louisville (-9) 2...

    it was nice taking a couple days off after my foolishness on sunday. who woulda thunk playing all 8 games was a bad idea? one play tonight... st mary's (+3) 2 units. i'll be honest.... i know very little about san diego state. but i do know st mary's is a damn good team with patty mills...

    Sunday NCAA

    another small loss yesterday. the last day of the first weekend of the tournament... fuck it, i'm playing every game. arizona state (+3) 2 units. everyone who's read my posts throughout the season knows my thoughts on syracuse. sure, there's plenty of talent, but they are a bad TEAM...

    Saturday Hoops

    rough day yesterday, but all small plays, so still ahead for the tournament. still kicking myself for that fsu play. duke (-7.5) 1 unit. texas was just bad for the second half of the season. i'm hoping a win over a mediocre big 10 team wasn't enough to get them back on track. texas a&m...

    Friday Hoops

    again, stupid work will be interfering with posting tomorrow, so here are my early plays. nothing really huge; my big games are going late thursday. north dakota state (+10) 2 units. the bison have won 18 of their last 19 games. the jayhawks are certainly talented, but they are so young...

    Thursday NCAA

    won't get a chance to post my early games tomorrow (stupid work!), so here they are... was it last year that the favorites dominated the first day? that was a brutal day for a lot of us here. i hope we don't see a repeat. you know, except for my first game. lsu (-2) 1 unit. not 100% sure...

    Wednesday Hoops

    solid start to the postseason - 3-1 last night, with the only loss on my only total. one NIT game tonight and one CBI game. oh yeah, the CBI is back!! and it brought it's bastard stepchild, the CIT. really? because the CBI did SO well last year, they felt ANOTHER tournament was needed...
