Guys: Most of you know me for many years as a preseason poster. I had a system that was very good for many years and always showed a profit for the 4 weeks of preseason.

Two years ago it started breaking down and didn't work as well as usual, but I still managed to eke out a small profit.

Last year it was terrible and I lost money for the first time in many years. I spent a lot of time over the winter trying to figure out why it was not working as well and came up with several reasons. One of the reasons was that there are many coaching changes each year and my system is thrown off by these changes. This means that I can't handicap any game with a new coach. I think there were about 8 coaching changes this year so that eliminates most of the games every week.

But Monday nite we have 2 old timers with the Giants and Carolina. There is a very strong Over trend for this game.
My pick is Giants/Jax Over 32.5 4*

You are right. It is brutal. But my opinion, gained from observations over the years. is that the heat effects the defense more than the offense.

This is a good example of why I had this game as a 4*. Fox tries to win his games. There are many coaches who would have just kicked the extra point so as not to tie the game and go into OT.

Anyway, even though the final score was way over the number, I had to sweat it out and during most of the game I didn't think it would be a winner.

As an added bonus I had Car +9 in a teaser with the Over so it was a good day for me.
