[ QUOTE ] Actually not keeping a tally. I think I've made about 6-8 predictions and been wrong once. [/ QUOTE ] If I recall correctly, I'm personally 0-2 on betting your Falcons picks. [/ QUOTE ] Interesting. I will provide a more accurate tally shortly. |

[ QUOTE ] otherwise, you can use the search function. [/ QUOTE ] No thanks, I figured you might know. Sygamel, since you're a supporter, do you happen to know off-hand? [/ QUOTE ] Since a few of you seem to be interested, I've gone through my Falcons picks this year. Here are the results -- although I liked some games more than others, I'm assuming all were for one unit: 1. Falcons @ Bills (Over) - Win 2. Falcons vs. Vikings -- Win 3. Falcons vs. Patriots (Under) -- Loss (Who woulda guessed Schaub would play like Dan Marino?) 4. Falcons vs. Jets -- Win 5. Falcons vs. Miami -- Win (Note I called this 2 weeks in advance -- This was my favorite pick all year) 6. Falcons vs. Lions (Under) - Win 7. Falcons vs. Lions (Vick Rushing Over) - Win 8. Falcons vs. Lions (Dunn Rushing Over) - Win (For 1.6 units due to price) So 7-1 for the year according to my quick review for roughly 6.5 units in 8 games. Note there were other games where I suggested going one way or the other if you had to play it but it wasn't an "official" recommendation -- I didn't count those (but I think I even did pretty well in those games.) I did this quickly, so please correct me if you see any mistakes. |

Re: Falcons @ Bears: Opportunity Knocks
I was wondering, how does one know which of your picks are your 'official' picks and which aren't?

When I say "Take Atlanta -3", or "Take the under", or "Atlanta is a great value", thats "official" in my view. When I say, "I don't recommend betting here, but if you had to go one way or the other, I'd go with the Under", thats "not official". I don't think there can be much confusion about whether I felt strongly or not (by the way, when I first started doing this, I was going to analyze all Falcons games and thats why you'd see some of the more iffy comments. Lately, I've just been posting when I felt strongly.) With Miami, its "official". |

Re: Falcons @ Bears: Opportunity Knocks
Any thoughts on a Dome team being outside in December?

Re: Falcons @ Bears: Opportunity Knocks

Any thoughts on a Dome team being outside in December? [/ QUOTE ] Yes. This is the one factor I'm a little bit uneasy about. Its not so much being a dome team as it is being a southern team. I think the weather DID affect the Falcons in the NFC Championship last year -- not so much the cold, but the win. However, Vick & Co. did perform fine in Green Bay a few years back in the playoffs. I think the Falcons will have learned from their experience in Philly last year, but the real reason weather doesn't change my opinion is because the 2005 Bears are NOT the 2004 Eagles -- not even close. Remember, nothing is a lock. Like all my other picks, all I am saying is that I believe there is good value here. |

Re: Falcons @ Bears: Opportunity Knocks
Slight hijack, but what do you set the over/under on the ESPN crew mentioning how cold it is in Chicago at night?

About the same as the over/under on the times they say "Warrick Dunn is a great person". As much as I'm looking forward to watching the game, I also am cringing at having to listen to their hyperbole. |
