    All I Want for Christmas . . .

    All I want for Christmas is . . . :hail Green Bay in the postseason. NFL YTD: 47-46 (-1.44*) Just finished a week's worth of capping in one all night session. It was fun, and now I'm hoping it gets the job done. All plays for 1*: New England(-9) Jacksonville(+3)(-115)...

    Lions and Cowboys and Bears

    NFL YTD: 43-42 (-2.09*) Tampa Bay(-7 & -7') (1*) Scott says, "Someone backed Gruden big time. Gruden will repay that commitment with a win." Who'd of thunk it? Minnesota(+3) (1*) A live dog. Cowboys(-10') (1.5*) It seems very unlikely the story in Big D this week will be Jesse Palmer with a...

    Bowling for Dollar$$$

    NCAA YTD: 53-43 (+5.35*) Last Year's Bowls: 10-8 (-0.60*) (A) It's Christmas in Berkeley for me, and that means too much to do before I go and lots to do when I get there. With so much good football in the pipeline, I suspect I'll make time enough for capping, and it's not hard to post my...

    Under Pressure

    NFL YTD: 40-38 (-1.24*) Pressure? A smart 15-4-1 run the last four weeks has me on the fringes of the Infinity NFL contest, which is precisely what I was hoping for since that began. On the other hand, I am entrenched in last place in thisisbad's NFL POW thread. Overall, my NCAA and NFL...

    NFL YTD: 36-35 (-2.76*) Seattle(+1' & +105ML) over Minnesota (1.25*) http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/football/149924_locke26.html (the Minneapolis Star Tribune link for Viking coverage requires a password - just think groping for new buttons to push) You figure out whether Holmgren or Tice has a...

    Bowl Shakedown

    NCAA YTD: 50-42 (+3.45*) It?s not the norm for me to pull the trigger days in advance (even if I had a game or two circled in advance), before I?ve first had a chance to digest and rate a full card of games, and then dig for supporting angles, and then wait about a day before trying to take a...

    Cold Turkey

    NCAA YTD: 47-39 (+3.15*) Not enough time for capping, and no time for adding any supporting analysis or observations, so far this week. Until the weekend: LSU(-9') (1*) Arizona(+15') (1*) Texas(-20) (1*) GL

    Northern Iowa

    YTD: 0-0 Northern Iowa(-1') over Butler (1*) I have no delusions when it comes to my basketball knowledge or aptitude at basketball handicapping. What I have is experience at wagering my own money, and occasionally a knack at spotting a good thing or a stinker, and then acting profitably...

    Lost in Iowa

    NFL YTD: 29-33 (-7.36*) Starters: Denver(-10') (1*) For annoyingly similar reasons, I?ve dropped the ball on four potential GOYs (Virginia @ W. Michigan; Green Bay @ Chicago; Oklahoma vs. Texas; and San Diego @ Denver) . . . Denver has shown vast potential with a strong arm QB and their time...

    Super Bowl

    To Win Super Bowl: Philadelphia(+900) for 1* @ Bet365 Working off a few theories: (1) ?Anything that doesn?t kill me makes me stronger.? (2) Defense + Quarterback + Coaching = Championships (Flavor it with a running game and it would be lovely) (3) Maximize the value found in a path of least...

    I Want Winners

    NCAA YTD (11/16/03): 40-37 (-5.40*) Thursday Post: S. Miss(-2') (1*) = W Adding: For better or worse, it?s looking like there are just way too many games that have my eye this week. It?s not that I?m looking to force any plays or force action on any high profile games, but I?m likely to...

    TCU vs. S. Miss: "For All the Marbles"

    NCAA YTD: 40-37 (-5.40*) Southern Miss(-2') for 1* I can?t figure out what TCU has going for them to overcome all they have stacked against them in this one. GL ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- DALLAS- FORT WORTH STAR-TELEGRAM (11/20/03): Whoa, Nellie, we've get a barn-burner...

    Presidents Cup

    (A) International Team Wins(-117) for 1* @ 5 Dimes A much anticipated sporting event in South Africa. I didn?t spend time digging to find out whether an impressive squad of South African and international players is keyed up to deliver a superb effort. A seaside course also seems a favorable...

    Are there ides in November?

    NCAA YTD: 36-34 (-6.10*) Capping football took a back seat this week, and any chances for grinding through the card in the final hours have been foreclosed by an imminent road trip to witness the Battle for Floyd of Rosedale. It's not like I was completely tied up, but I?m leaning on some...

    NCAA

    NCAA YTD: 32-29 (-4.54*) South Carolina(+7') over Arkansas (1.25*) The ?more than 3 overtimes? angle has delivered for me twice in the last two years BECAUSE there were other pieces of the puzzle to go with it. This time I?d say the Thursday turnaround is hard to overlook; Holtz has looked to...
