Rutis\' picks for Week #9
 

if you pick your games before the lines come out, do you avoid the "first-pick" curse? Since I have Rutis' picks for Weeks 9-10 already, I guess we'll find out

$400 Vikings over
$300 Falcons
$200 Ravens
$100 Colts

Re: The Week #9 lines for the \"Damn the BSPs!\" Challenge
 

I'm going to bring a little mediocrity to the first (non-Easy E?) pick curse.

$400 Redskins -2.5
$300 Chiefs -4.5
$200 Cardinals +4
$100 Colts -3

My picks
 

Now that the kyro position is locked up..

$400 bet Seahawks - rested, I'll fade the Cards
$300 bet Chiefs under- the first game was under this total, why not the second?
$200 bet Texans under- On the road? Jags haven't been scoring a lot either and they're sure to be a BSP victim
$100 bet Bengals- steam pick (so, the Ravens do better with some of their big dogs on defense as cheerleaders? Damn the BSPs!)

Re: The Week #9 lines for the \"Damn the BSPs!\" Challenge

Re: The Week #9 lines for the \"Damn the BSPs!\" Challenge
 

Interesting. Picking with my gut netted me a 3-13 record. Going against my gut has made me 3-9. Obviously going against my gut is working out better so I will keep going with it!

$200 Raiders
$100 Eagles

Re: Do I want to know?
 

Mat gave me the option to change and I took it.

Scott8 was my old college email, Caldarooni is my online persona at a lot of poker sites.

Still the same guy though [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

My picks
 

$400 Seahawks/Cardinals UNDER
$300 Colts/Patriots UNDER
$200 Ravens
$100 Chargers/Jets UNDER



It's a home dog bonanza this week and yet I can't really get excited about any of them. I guess that's the beauty of the HD strategy -- they look so ugly that squares like myself (even ones who know HD's are generally strong bets) can't bring themselves to bet them.

FWIW, I expect the lines to look a lot more appealing by the weekend and I'll be looking to get some games like NE+3.5, NYJ+7, Bal+3.5, Ari+6. And if the lines move more than I expect maybe Mia+3, Hou+14, TB+3 &amp; SF+13. And if the lines don't move, several of these HD's look real nice in teasers.

Seahawks/Cardinals UNDER 43.5 Seahawks have put up big totals a couple of times, but are generally a ball control team. Ari has only scored over 20 once ... against the 49ers.

Colts/Patriots UNDER 46 There will be some offense, but solid D's will force a lot of FG's.

Ravens+3 v. Bengals Had to pick at least one home dog. I like Bal the best with these lines. Should be a low scoring game, I'll take the FG.

Chargers/Jets UNDER 41.5 Jets anemic offense won't contribute much. Chargers happy to grind out the clock with a lead.

The unintentional (or, if intentional, very clever) comedy of this statement is priceless. [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

Screw it. I want to pick some favorites for once. This week I'm just picking teams in what I think are decent mismatches and praying they cover.

Falcons coming off bye week and I'm thinking 2 is close enough to 0. Seahawks much better than Cardinals. Chiefs at home vs Oakland...eh, they can cover this. And I still doubt the Redskins.
