NFL YTD:
5-18 (-16.95*)
First off, it's not quite that bad. Three of my few good plays this year were top plays and prime time romps by Philadelphia, Atlanta and Seattle, but I don't post anything at MJs unless I am looking to contribute, and I was painfully aware that anything I had to offer on those games would be unlikely to have the intended effect. So 5-18 is what I've posted.
Regardless, I've had some rough stretches before, but never anything like this to start a season. The low point in fact was being absolutely certain when the line came out that S.F(-7) over Rams had GOY written all over it and hitting it almost immediately for 1 unit, but being dissuaded by game time from adding anything to it even though the line had dropped to -6', and not even having enough confidence to include it in my posted plays. Pathetic!!!!
There were some BAD plays early on, but obviously the field goals, 1/2 points, big plays and backdoors have not been going my way, either.
And thinking of my 8-17 in the Infinity contest, last place is not a goal of mine, as stupid as that is given where I'm perched.
On to today, and in times like this, the RALLY MONKEY can be my best and only friend, so here we go.
Jacksonville(-2 and -1) for 1*
Jax is 16-3 ATS off a SU win as a dog. That qualifies as a strong technical trend that jives with my situational analysis of this game. And the Titans have played like clowns enough times in the last two years to maybe help things along.
Tampa Bay(-7) for 1*
This one naturally comes up OTB in the Infinity contest. Cleveland is dinged and coming off two disappointing divisional games. The breakout or statement that I'll be looking for in this game is a little bit of Tampa offense (scoring wise if not consistency wise) to complement their stifling defense.
Oakland(-7) for 1*
4-0 SU and ATS is favored by a touchdown on the road against 0-5 SU and ATS. There are surely plenty of cappers that could quote me the technical trend for this situation after three or more weeks. I was right on Tuesday when I anticipated this line would climb (-9 is the best I've seen at my outs). Playing another road favorite. Should I wait and try to middle it? Nope.
New Orleans/Washington Over 45'
It's one of the few totals I was looking at, and Jessy liking it made the final choice a good bit easier.
Detroit(+4') for 1*
I can deal with Joey Harrington as my live dog.
Anything for prime time? Not without a grin when I win from the RALLY MONKEY!!!!
