8/9 results

ATS 2-2

1st game CIN @DET, what I noticed is that QB D Johnson played much longer and was more productive than I thought he would be, thus my picks being totally off instead of Fav/under combo the winning combo was dog/over (CIN D did get a TD and DET D did fairly well)

2nd game IND @DAL, just as predicted, pretty much followed reports from blogs etc. thus 2-0 ATS in this game

for the year ATS 4-2

Thursday 8/9 preseason picks

blitzing D looks like a winner SU, covering -5? well I'd take the chance

historically Dungy's teams in preseason are decidedly uninterested in winning game and the under is even more prevalent
DAL new HC Philips leans slightly to winning ATS and even less toward the over
CIN HC Lewis is nearly the same as DAL coach
DET HC Marinelli was 1-3 SU (2-2)ATS last year and 1-3 O/U

this should help for preseason huh???

HoF results

gee I thought it would rain at least once during the game, but somehow the rain stopped just for the game huh? Anyway my guess was on the $$ and I turned a nice little profit. We'll see if the rest of preseason has more "hidden" jewels.

I guess you can pretty much bet on PIT to cover as their intensity cannot be questioned w/their new coach. Meanwhile NO HC Payton is playing to the same tune as last year. You should be able to pick against them, but the total will be a bit harder unless you have a bead on their opposition, such as w/PIT .

I suspect in this Friday's game for NO that BUF should be favored and for PIT on Saturday they should be favored.

HoF game

261 NO 35.5 U**
262 PIT -2.5 X**

PIT HC is conducting tough 2-a-days, this should translate to a better chance to win this preseason game, covering the spread w/a D that wants the game. QB's look a bit better w/PIT and the drop off is noticeable w/NO.

note: NO in '06 preseason scored 19, 7, 14, 9 and allowed 16, 30, 27, 10 - an indicator that NO HC prefers to play possum in the preseason

This appears to be a 2-picker that will double your $$, of course PIT HC Tomlin could play possum as well, I lean toward the under...

NO blog

http://blog.nola.com/saintsbeat/ you gotta love this blog if you're a Saints fan, now if I could find something similar w/PIT I might have an angle on this Sunday's game.

Well I have found another impressive site to read for NO http://www.saintsreport.com/
