Houston at San Diego is not on the board (for obvious reasons).

And, how much did Fox have to pay NBC to get them to pass on a Sunday night game this week so that people would have one less sporting event to care about and be more likely to watch the World Series?

Betting Stats through week 7...

Overall Betting Record (%) [record last three weeks]:
Dave: 27-13-3 (67.5%) [14-3-0]
Mike: 15-12-2 (55.5%) [8-6-0]
Greg: 10-9-0 (52.6%) [6-3-0]
Brad: 16-20-3 (44.4%) [7-5-1] (Combined 35-17-1 as a group last three weeks)

Remember, in Vegas breaking even is 52.5% due to the juice. Of course, Mike and Greg have won money in this because while their betting percentages appear close to break even, they have a higher percentage of large bets to small bets.

Brad...needs some work... :)

Week 6 bets...

Mike is in a panic and has chosen to start breaking the bank in an effort to catch me. This my friends, is what I like to call the "Brad Geiss Strategy for Certain Destruction."

Interesting notes of the week - all four of us bet New England over Dallas at $10. Also, Brad and Mike share three bets and Greg and Brad share two bets. Brad and Dave also share two bets. Greg placed the only Over/Under bet in the last two weeks this week (New England/Dallas).

Week Five Lines...

Interesting Statistical note from last week.

With regards to money lines, I made seven bets and bet on six home teams and one away team (New Enlgand).

Combined between Mike, Greg and Brad, ten money bets were made and the away team was bet on all ten times.

Just an interesting statistical oddity. Since barely any money was won by anyone, it probably isn't meaningful, just cute.

And on to week 4...

Carolina +3 vs NEW ORLEANS (44.5)
Jacksonville -2 vs KANSAS CITY (36)
Detroit +3.5 vs WASHINGTON (46.5)
Atlanta +8 vs TENNESSEE (40.5)
Miami +5.5 vs HOUSTON (43.5)
Seattle +5.5 vs PITTSBURGH (39)
Cleveland +16.5 vs NEW ENGLAND (48.5)
Arizona -3 vs ST. LOUIS (41)
NY Jets +3 vs NY GIANTS (41)
Tampa Bay +10 vs INDIANAPOLIS (46)
San Diego +1 vs DENVER (42.5)
Baltimore -3 vs SAN FRANCISCO (35.5)
Chicago +3 vs GREEN BAY (40.5)

Let em fly!
