Rick's Pick's

Discussion in 'Sidewalk Cafe' started by TXtourplayer, Sep 7, 2005.

  1. My friend Mr. Rick.

    I have a ticket with Ari St. +16 written on it. Where in "tarnation" did you find USC -9.5? I KNOW that you don't drink as much as I do so what is your excuse?

    Sorry

    I was in a hurry this mourning and I looked at half time lines...LOL. Guess that could make a big difference. Did the same thing on Wisconsin.

    Sorry about that.

    Nfl Pick's

    I'm down bad in NFL, but today I start my comeback.

    Here's my Pick's!

    10* Sea. +2 over Wash. (Sea. should win by at least 10 outright)

    10* Jac -4 over Den. (Jac. is tough at home, Den. sucks on the road.

    10* Balt. -7 over NYJ (Finally a win)

    5* KC -1 over Phil (Rebound from Mon. Night)

    3* T.Bay -6 over Det (T.Bay is playing good ball now and riding the Caddie)

    3* Ind/Tenn under 46 (I'm am buying in to Indy's "D" this week)

    Late add-on:

    5* Dal/Oak over 46.5 (Oakland has no "D" and Dallas gets burned by the deep balls).

    NFL teaser Sunday

    Time for new glasses
    including the two screw ups (which I didn't play. especially since there were several rmajor locks out on Ala. after my early post) we still go 6-4 for +11 units.
    Today's a travel day so the picks come out before the late info is released.
    6 pt teaser TB -.5 w/ Wash +4.5
    6.5 pt teaser Chargers +10.5 w/ Eagles+7.5
    7 pt teaser Panthers -.5 w/Bengals -2.5
    5* each
    Best play of the day: 15 units on TB -6.5. Riding the Cadillac 'til he blows a tire.

    5 for 7

    I went 5 for 7 today

    But they were not my picks I just bet against all of Rick's picks and I won 5 of 7 which is 71 % correct which no handicapper could ever achive.

    Maybe the only sure way to win!

    Joep your right, betting against my Pro pick's maybe the best way to make money this season...LOL. I haven't come close to a winning week yet.

    Glad I don't charge a fee, I would go broke in refunds...LOL.

    I better start teasing games like instagator. These 1/2 point - 5 1/2 point losers suck...LOL.

    BASS ACKWARDS on my picks....LOL. Won the small plays and lost the big ones.

    *NOTE: Texas is for real! I was expecting them to fold in the 2nd half like in years passed. They looked great the other day. They maybe the best in the country. I want to see Texas and USC play, that will be a fun game to watch.

    Sunday Picks

    NFL

    2* Cini -1.5 over Pitt (LOST)

    3* SD +4 over Phil. (WON)

    3* Det. +3 over Clev. (WON)

    Houston over Chi. W/S (LOST) Yet another heart breaker.

    With the umpiring so far I would say sell everything you own and bet on the Chicago White Sox's to win it all. They have all but given them the title already.

    Tuesday's Pick's

    The MLB commissoner shouldn't have any say on if Houston has the roof open tonight or not. He is taking away a big advantage in Houston 1st ever WS home game.

    To tell Houston they have to keep the roof open is the bigest BS call yet. If they want it closed for tonights game they should have their choice and not up to the commissoner just so the blimp can take a few pictures.

    MLB

    I like Houston tonight, but with the calls they have been getting I'm am scared to bet them. But because of that I think over 7 maybe a good play and the short porches in Houston should help.

    5* Hous/Chi. over 7 (WON)

    NHL:

    This is a first, I was given these picks so I thought I would pass them on.

    10* Nashville over Chicago (WON)

    10* LA over Aniheim (WON)

    Okay

    Well after losing games like this most of the season I finally win one (from out of no where).

    Thank you Donivan (Mr. Mcnabb) that was a win I wasn't counting on.

    Dallas down 20 - 7 with under 4 minutes left and they win the game 21 - 20.

    Not only gives me a win, but puts the home team in first place.

    Damn that is two winning weeks in the pro's now. I am almost close enough to jump up and touch bottom....LOL.
