TWO plays for Week #1

[PatrickMcIrish]

Maybe a few thoughts on them later.


Jax +4

Ariz +4


Leans on both the Raiders and Bucs at +3. If I can pick up the hook I will gamble with them as well. Good luck this year guys. Let me be the first to tell you there are much sharper NFL guys than I, not even close. If I start to do real poorly I will discontinue the offerings. Until then I will give it a shot. Let's get them this year!!!!

Pat I think Jacksonville is a terrible play. Go the other way.

 

[HacheMan]

Why do you think Jags is a bad play Tree? Carolina's defense is strong, but Jacksonville's will be stronger this year also. I also have to give the offensive advantage to Jags just on a healthy Fred Taylor alone. I don't feel Stephen Davis is going to find the success he did in Washington, and Brunell is still a better QB than Peete.

 

[VaultedTreehouse]

This is more of a play against Jacksonville than it is pro Carolina. I really feel that Jacksonville will have a brutal year, 4 wins tops. I think Carolina doesn't have to score a lot of points to cover that number, and their defense is flat out terrific. Not my top play this week, but I really like Carolina in this spot.

Sounds like the best play may be the under.

GL to all,

Thanks for the feedback guys, going to ride it and see what happens. You have to grope around in the dark a little before you find the light switch.

DelRio will have the skinny on the panthers after coaching them so many years. Should be a low scoring war.

 

[Fishhead]

Thanks for sharing McIRICH...I may have a play or two on opening weekend myself. Stay tuned.

Irish if you're out there, I sent some info to you via email, my email has been screwed up though, no telling if you got it or not. But if you are picking 3 dogs, you know I like 'em..

 

[PatrickMcIrish]

Thanks for the good wishes men.

MHK - my email has been whacked out too but I did get it up this afternoon. I will check and see what all I got and reply this morning if I got anything. Good luck Mike, look forward to your plays as always.

pat, glad to see those picks as i am on the opposite side of both. you have declared yourself a loser in football and i'll fade you until proven otherwise. thanks for posting, mj

 

[PatrickMcIrish]

You heard it right, absolutely a dead square in the NFL.

 

[mjred]

i might say that i also appreciate someone who doesn't take himself so seriously at to not be able to take a good ribbing (and who is willing to help others by posting admittedly bad picks). pat, you are a credit to posters across the internet (mods too)

 

[PatrickMcIrish]

Thanks. Just because I haven't beaten it consistently yet does not mean I will be giving up. LOL. I take my time and bet conservatively but keep working at it. I never really understood why people pretend they are better then they are at certain sports, you are only fooling yourself. If a sport is one you are not good at why be ashamed of it? It's like some people's self-esteem is tied into what people think of them here. We're all on the same side, if someone can profit off my struggles I don't get upset about it. In fact I encourage it, even in sports I can turn a profit in. "Hey guys I am ice cold right now, if you are in the middle of a game might want to consider FADING ME".

NFL has OWNED me.
