    It's a marathon, not a sprint . . .

    NCAA YTD: 7-7 (-0.15*) - - 2-6 ATS record in NCAA games starting after 6:30 p.m. local time (0-1 in NFL), and 5-1 in early NCAA games (4-0 in NFL). I'm not at all happy about that. So far . . . Iowa State(-2') over Northern Illinois (1.25*) I seriously doubt any team of coaches and players is...

    Week of 9/11

    NCAA YTD: 6-3 (+3.20*) A weekend road trip means both computer access and channel surfing (except on the radio dial) will be iffy propositions. I've done OK in the past getting wagers down early, but it's far from my normal routine . . . The strongest opinions and convictions this week are on...

    First and 10

    Minnesota(-4) over Dallas (1.5*) I can't recall an NFL team ever possessing a better opportunity to demonstrate what comes from having a knot stuck in their collective craw through a long off season. That's the angle I'm playing. Seattle(-2)(-108) over New Orleans (1.5*) Before the first snap...

    First and 10

    Every wager is founded on an angle of some sort, maybe a dozen, some better than others . . . Information and a frame of reference for synthesizing that information . . .Situational, fundamental, technical, valuist, contrarian . . . It's good to know and remember what has worked in the past, but...

    All the talk about the Big East is nice, but for the seniors, the goal has always been to win Conference USA: http://www.courier-journal.com/cjsports/extras/2004/colfbpreview/K4-fbul0829-7106.html Coach Petrino's stated philosophy is "Feed the Studs"...

    OUTRIGHTS: Tom Kite(14/1) e.w. @ Bet365 - - Less likely now than it was before. Dana Quigley(50/1) e.w. @ Bet365 - - Not likely at all, so what can it hurt. GL

    OUTRIGHTS: Fredrik Jacobson(28/1) e.w. @ Bet365 Brian Davis(45/1) e.w. @ 5dimes Jean-Francois Remesy(66/1) e.w. @ Bet365 - - I'm intrigued by several angles that complement my initial instincts with my banner choices, which probably just means I'm a goof.

    Season's Greetings . . .

    I've barely scratched the surface when it comes to getting up to speed on the 2004 NFL and NCAA seasons, but I'm in the grind now . . . No surprise that plenty of good stuff is getting posted at Madjacks on a daily basis that helps chrystalize my thinking and my research. Right or wrong, it's...

    Open de Sevilla

    I did O.K. on the few threads I started last year . . . There is always a speculative quality with a venue on which I haven't seen any action before, and although that doesn't necessarily create a disadvantage vis-a-vis the other cappers this week, attempting to size up the course is probably...

    The Lombardi Trophy

    NEW ENGLAND(-6') for 1.5* Others have disected this game a lot closer than me - I've already moved on to the Green Jacket at the Masters - here's my succinct version: Carolina is a well-constructed team and the NFC's best. New England took the 14-0 route. Now it's for all the marbles. IMO only...

    Pardon the Interruption

    Last Week: 2-1 (+0.77*) Two right sides with Carolina and Indianapolis. Just a lean to Tennessee. Missed by one point with Green Bay. It's fairly typical for me to have little to show for a solid week. This week: (1) Carolina(+7') (2) New England(-6) (3) Green Bay(+5) (4) Indianapolis vs...

    Wild Card Games

    I like both of my NFC plays, while I keep going back and forth on the AFC games. For starters: Carolina(-3) over Dallas (1.5*) Since the shutout at Tampa Bay, Dallas has been almost as dependable as clockwork in displaying their learning curve under Parcells - big games, road games, bad spots...

    Best Bet Fund

    Beginning Balance = $200.00 I went into the final week of the Infinity NFL contest at +$3.50 and in 23rd place. After looking at the standings, and realizing there were only 3 games I really liked, I thought that using a bye would be my best strategy. But because I already won $200 in the...

    "The Granddaddy of Them All"

    ORANGE COUNTY REGISTER (1/1/04): After conjecture gave way to computers that were shoved aside by controversy, college football's top-ranked team struggled to understand how it was excluded from the title game created by six conferences and a television network. USC's players wondered why...
