The Bar Stool Pundits return, week 8
 

Our results so far: 1-13-1.

Sorry for the absence last week. I'm ready to continue the streak! But be warned: be ready for some regression to the mean any week now. 1-13-1 is simply insane and impossible to keep up. The BSPs are bound to pick up a few soon.

Here we go.

Oakland at Tennessee Tennessee is a terrible, terrible team who just lost to Arizona of all things. Oakland just pimp-slapped Buffalo all up and down the field during the Lamont Jordan Show. Tennesee has no chance. Yahoo Experts unanimously pick Oakland to win at Tennessee. You know how great Oakland plays on the road...

Jacksonville at St. Louis St. Louis loses their coach and their QB and their best defensive lineman and their #1 receiver. Should be no problem. BSPs are all over Jacksonville right now. 3/4 Yahoo Experts love it.

Pittsburgh vs. Baltimore I am more sick to my stomach over this one than I was for the Indy/SF game. I cannot believe I"m clicking "Confirm Bet" on Baltimore... my god.

As always, good luck gentlemen, whichever side you take.
I'll be on:

Tennessee +1.5
St. Louis +3.5
Baltimore +10

I'd go with you but I have a nasty habit of ending awesome streaks like yours.

Ugly, Ugly, Ugly. I like it [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

What about taking Tennessee with the money line instead of getting 1.5 points?

One of the 13 losses came by taking Carolina laying 1.5 on Detroit. I couldn't believe it. I'll stick with taking the points but yeah, I expect the moneyline has some value there too.

Are you kidding? Oakland is going to KILL Tennessee. I have already unloaded my bankroll of $6.72 and two food stamps on Oakland. This is the biggest lock in the history of sports betting.

Re: The Bar Stool Pundits return, week 8
 

Hard to believe BSP's going with Oakland. They suffered two huge injuries on defense and have won 2 games on the road in the last 2 seasons.

Tenn, Balt, and St Louis. Just lovely [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. I would not be remotely surprised to see the Titans win outright.
The other two sure do look ugly though.

Re: The Bar Stool Pundits return, week 8
 

Honestly, I will be more surprised if Oakland wins.

Re: The Bar Stool Pundits return, week 8
 

Bodog has had Baltimore at +10.5 (-105) for the past 24 hours or so. Thats a very nice line compared to +10 / -110. I've got two units on it at that line.

Re: The Bar Stool Pundits return, week 8
 

thanks again Natedogg...I'll be riding again. I checked at wagerline.com and you found us some real losers (winners [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]) again.

Bump
 

Gotta bump the BSP, found ST Louis +4.5 @ sportsbook.com

Re: Bump
 

my local book has tennessee plus three...so that's a play for me......everyone loves the jags...not just the bsp's..don't know if i will pull the trigger

Re: The Bar Stool Pundits return, week 8
 

I'm surprised Green Bay is not on this list instead of Tennessee.

Re: The Bar Stool Pundits return, week 8
 

Yeah, my sources have Green Bay getting no love from the public either.

Re: The Bar Stool Pundits return, week 8
 

The Jags/Rams line is moving like crazy, already at +4.5 +100 at Pinnacle. May be good to wait til gametime to see what you can get.

Re: The Bar Stool Pundits return, week 8
 

i ended up with tenn plus three.......st. lou plus five...good luck all

Re: The Bar Stool Pundits return, week 8
 

I have a reason to watch the 1:00 games now.

Re: The Bar Stool Pundits return, week 8
 

Going 2-1 is actually one of the poorer performances this year for anti-BSPs which is actually a good thing overall.

Is it just me, or did Tennessee just give it up near the end of that game? I didn't watch it on TV, but was listening to the radio (and saw some highlights), but was it Pacman Jones just trying to love bump Jerry Porter on his big catch? What about with like 4:30 to go, Titans down by 2 scores and punting? Yikes.

I agree. I watched the whole game and they handed the win to the Raiders on a silver platter. It was terrible. Then again, I like seeing the Raiders win one.

Goind 2-1 is fine with me. 2-15-1 for the year! Love it.
