I'm not a newbie around here, just not so lucky in gettting my picks up on time, for this place that is. I think I only got one play posted which was a 2nd half winnah (it was a UTEP game).. no big deal. BTW, I did get my TENNIS picks in the "Over the Wall" bawlroom earlier this year just in case anybody's interested... Hmm.. probably NOT. :0corn
Just to give yas an idea of how I pickem - I use a spreadsheet that I worked on for years and it produced a winning Bowl season in 2008 that nobody would believe.. I STILL can't believe it. Yeah, that year plenty of favorites did cover BUT the "Sheet" nailed most of the Bowl dogs that year too. After that season, I tweaked the dang thang to make it even better (Dumb, dumb, dumb thing to do). It got worser
Disasterous start to this season CFBers, so I UNcomplicated the sheet to try to get it back to where it was at in 2088. It was plenty complicated enough and even I cannot figure out how it comes up with it's ratings sometimes.
Anyway, it appears to be working again (based on two weeks ago and last week) and today it's "outa the gate" like Secretariat with Louisville, W. Virginia, and W. Mich (pending). And it's highest rated play was N. Illinois as well.
I'll post a little about how it figures them out at a later post, but for now I better get the picks down here before I get on one them "Black Friday" long lines to get in the door just like I did the last few times I tried to post some plays (yeah, like 15 mins before game time - this place is a MADhouse) alright :mj07:
Here's its top 3 plays - Sat top plays from the Sheet:
Mich. State -2 (lines are what I got when I put them in the SS; pretty much what they opened up with).
Fresno St. (-10): I took it off the dang "10" to 9 1/2. Saw it at -10 1/2 yesterday and would still take it below 10.
Purdue -3 (-2 1/2? anyone??)
It does pick one dog for Sat, but I passed on this one.. just to letyas know though it's...
LSU
Let's see if this thing keeps on truckin and I'll come back with more later.
Good Luck this weekend, MJers.
