Good Morning Ace, no questions this time....just wanted to wish you Good Luck this week here an at the Hilton! You're knocking at the door to 1st place and could gain some valuable points this week, I feel you're gonna be "making hay" the next 3 weeks! I know its been a tough year personally for ya but life works in cycles, your's is beginning to turn! Stay strong, stay focused....take care brother.........Bob
ace how can i get your nba picks my email is hdhoehoe@yahoo.com
Ace, you've been around the NFL a long time so I like to ask you 3 questions related to each other if I may?
1. This is probably an obvious answer from what I've read in the past but I never personally seen it in football. Here goes;do teams dump games to help themselves in the draft?
2. Assuming this is so leads me to the next question; Indy has absolutely nothing to gain from tonight's game and can actually hurt themselves in the draft by winning tonight. They could be tied at 2nd with 2 losses with Minnesota (who needs a QB) and St. Louis (who could trade the #1 for more draft picks). The Grand Prize this year in the draft is QB Andrew Luck. With Peyton Mannings health up in the air Indy could certainly use the #1 pick. The question is do you think Indy dumps tonight's game?
3. Assuming #2 happens how does a team dump a game, especially one that is on National TV, without it being too obvious? What does the owner say to the GM or coach? What does the Coach say to the team? How does the team accept this when they've been trained and taught all their lives to give 100% and win?
I love to hear your insight and knowledge on what you may have seen over the years on all of this, I think it is a fascinating subject, borders on conspiracy theories and such!!
Thanks in advance........................Bob

I feel they dont try to dumb a game!!!...they can lay back a little...by running more....trust me IND can give it 110% tonight and still will not win this game.
now week 17 is the hards week...teams that are going home are going on 4th down and 3...teams that are in the playoffs and have lock there sport...will play backups.
it takes the most time to cap week 17 than any other week of the season.
I have won 5 out of 6 years in NBA by seeing diff views of the game....a view can be as simple as a hot capper and what he is on!!!
covers top 1-3 playes I use from time to time....I have about 10 that I follow day in and day out...as in the nfl 411 sys and myline is 60% of my capping
I do the same with NBA and CBB.
