QUALITY NOT QUANTITY. QUANTITY COMES WITH TIME. NO SHAME IN GETTING RICH SLOWLY
Not to shabby last year. Hit 14 out of 21 sides including the Super Bowl. Went on to a horrendous NBA season. Have picked one MLB game this season, (the first game. It lost). I’ve been laying low, licking my wounds and replenishing my bankroll. It was weird at first not been fully involved in gaming. I’ve always said a man gotta make a bet at least once a day, he could be walking around lucky and not know it.
Didn’t much like anything the first 2 weeks. At the last second, last Sunday I posted Detroit plus the points, breaking one of my rules of not betting unless I have handicapped the game at least 2 hours prior. Off course I paid the price. Discipline is what separates the winners from the losers.
Got a nice win last night, Thursday on the Nevada/San Jose game. I didn’t post it, but made a reply to a post and stated that Nevada was holding all the cards. Nevada broke out to a 26 to 3 lead laying 1 point and never looked back. I didn’t post for lack of confidence since things have not been going my way. When I first looked at the game in depth, I thought, OK what’s the catch here? San Jose looks horrible, they only had 62 scholarships and are lacking players. One of their guys is a one-legged corner for Gods sake! That was the catch, the guy was going to be playing special teams and the media was hyping San Jose’s emotional angle. Emotion but no players . Emotion can only take you so far and when you don’t have the horses watch out. Nevada covered. Thank you for indulging me by reading all this. It feels good to be back
NFL WEEK 3
My picks here will have the same modus operandi (M.O.). Better defense and better T.O. differential. The public and the media can have the offense. Defense is what covers the spread. I broke the better defense rule once last year on this site when I took Philly at home vs Tampa Bay in the NFC championship. Tampa’s defense dominated. I rode TB’s defense in the Super Bowl not making the same mistake twice.
SAN FRAN at home laying 7 is what I’m going with this week. Better defense and better T.O. differential. Cleveland has bee having problems on both sides of the ball this season. On Offense they have only scored one TD and on defense they couldn’t stop Jamal Lewis who told them he was coming and ran for an NFL record 295 yards. The offensive problems can be attributed to an inexperienced one game wonder QB who was given the starting position due to media pressure on the coach. Holcomb has looked confused and will be facing a front line that had 5 sacks last week and 5 sacks the previous. Strength vs weakness. I like that match up. SF offense matches up well vs the aforementioned Brown defensive unit. SF’s O is methodical and will be able to move the chains by land or air. SF patchwork offensive line has provided good protection for Garcia and has opened up running lanes for Hearst and Barlow. Cleveland will be traveling cross country for a non conference game and that doesn’t bode to well for them. They will be playing with a lot of emotion and urgency but like San Jose St. last night they don’t have the horses to pull it off.
I’m a fundamentalist capper and I know that all the technicals favor Clev, who was a great road dog last year and SF stank as a home favorite. I’ll leave with a common sense fundamental stat from an ESPN2 football show last night. (I didn’t catch the name). SF is 39-0 in a row SU when they hold an opponent to 17 points or less. DEFENSE. Don’t see Cleveland scoring more than 10. SF has a new kicker who joined team on Tuesday, don’t see him being a factor.
All opinions welcomed. I’ll be updating this post till kickoff.
