    Hit 3/4 of my picks (see my earlier post in this thread) and with the colts moneyline coming through picked up a decent win this weekend. Will have championship picks up later this week.

    Wow, looks like you did get boned. Glad I missed your post because I loved that pick.

    Anyway, Kobe was announced sitting tonight, so now everyone is hammering the Blazers. Honestly I would prefer a better line with Kobe than a worse line with no Kobe. There are even arguments to be made that the Lakers are now better without him.

    In any case, the line jumped 1/2 point in the moments between when I selected the bet for -6 and clicked PLACE BET, so now I'm stuck with -6.5 -105.

    Still wanted it, because I think the Blazers are going to beat them hard this time after almost losing to the Lakers in Portland.

    No. Suns just aquire brandon wright. I could see suns trying to key on d tonight. If brandon wright isn't even suited up then it's not a bad bet but Memphis doesn't play fast. Phoenix is an over or nothing team for me as of now. This is a no bet for me... plus I don't normally fck around paying extra juice with team totals to begin with.
    Must have been a great bet.... they covered by 17

    Time for the rookie Side Bets and Totals to get pushed aside. The super bowl is coming and the real bets are starting to circulate. I haven't had a losing super bowl in 6 years and I don't plan on starting now.


    Blake Shelton - 2015 Super Bowl - How Long Will it Take Him to Sing the National Anthem (From first note starts until he completes saying Brave) (Must sing for action)

    1:25.5 (Over is juiced as of now).

    My buddy who is big into music says 1:25 is flying though the anthem and the over is the right play.

    Agreed that Calvins should be a TD but according to that rule it wasn't

    They applied that rule to DEZ and they shouldn't have. What Dez did is no different than Manning dropping back, hitting julius thomas in stride having him take 7 steps and then diving and losing control after he had possesion and ran with it.

    Actually there is a major difference (In the eyes of the rules as written). Dez was headed to the ground. Diving forward towards the endzone does not mean he stopped his glide path to the ground and thus he needs to maintain control. In your example there were steps taken and then he went to the ground.

    People are running around yelling about "The Dez Bryant Rule" or "The Calvin Johnson Rule". All this fucking nonsense started back in 2000 and the real name is the "Bert Emanuel Rule".

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bert_Emanuel

    That was the day that music died. That was the day the started taking interpretation away from the refs and now you see the results. in 1999 that was a catch 99/100 times. Today well "the book says different". Trust me - refs hate this rule.

    He was headed to the ground after a completed catch and 3 steps therefore it shouldnt matter whether he maintains possesion going to the ground

    You sir are 100% right. It shouldn't matter. Unfortunately it does. The three "steps" he took did nothing to stop his momentum to the ground, thus the process of the catch criteria applies.

    Again - fucking stupid. But blame the rules committee, not the Ref.

    Common sense would obv make that a catch, but the rule is the rule and the problem is all his momentum is taking him to the ground as he catches the ball so he MUST hold onto to the ball as he hits the ground, period. The rule was applied correctly.

    BTW- I bet colts, but it was legit hard to watch P. Manning out there. His arm strength has been gone for a while now, but it appears that his accuracy, decision making, and even his limited in-pocket mobility/pocket presence have all abandoned him as well. Was kinda sad to watch.

    Lakers held close to Portland for 3 quarters, but the Blazers' superiority (specifically Lillard) kicked in, and game finished 106-94.

    Was in a bit of danger late when it was 98-91, but Lillard just took over and pwned them silly.

    3-0 day today.

    Weird weekend:

    Friday: 2-0-1
    Saturday: 0-4
    Sunday: 3-0

    So that's what I call a "sportsbetting sandwich". Two good days with an awful one in between, and all together went 5-4-1, which is essentially about what I've been running.

    Now 68-61-5.

    I don't believe you are wrong- You can not assume his momentum is the reason he goes to the ground. You can not assume when officiating. If your assuming anything how about the tripping/contact of the green bay player sending him to the ground? Watch the replay -- there is contact by the defender to the legs. Looks like a catch and down by contact ( tackle ) to me

    Two NBA picks today:

    Houston -6.5 at Brooklyn: Two teams going in opposite directions. Houston has won 3 in a row, and is 26-11 overall. Brooklyn has dropped 5 in a row, and is having a hard time managing 90 points. They even lost to Philadelphia recently.

    New Orleans -5 -105 at Boston: While the Pelicans are a highly-inconsistent, .500 club, they are facing a bad Boston team which is 2-9 in its last 11.

    Bet them both.
