I KNOW you like the Steelers, but I just have a VERY hard time putting money on a team when Leftwich is their starting qb.

THANKS for the rundown of your week.  I'm trying to move more toward a pattern like you describe.  I don't have the connections to make those calls, but it sounds similar to how I'm trying to use the ratings systems.  I try to get my own feel for how I think things will play out on Sunday before I download the ratings system info and basically use the data-mined ratings systems as my "sources."  If the right ones are all in agreement with my leans, I increase the units. Later in the week, I also watch for predictions by a few folks on here and by a few of the leaders of the TD SEC ATS pick'em contest.  I'll compare those to the ratings systems and will usually add a play or two based on that. 

On getting in early bets, on Sundays, I still try to pick one or two games where I think the line will move rapidly and try to get a great spread before it moves too much.  I am starting to get the feeling that it isn't making much difference, so I plan on watching it to see if I can justify the risk of pulling the trigger so soon.  On that note, I think you may have been the one who taught me to NEVER bet on LSU early in the week for fear of arrests/suspensions during the week. 

I don't like the Steelers I love the Steelers.  I generally either bet them or like last week leave it alone.  Didn't play the game against the chiefs.  Was too many points.

As for tonight's game I am taking the steelers plus the points.  I would rather Batch get the start over Byron.  Honest truth is everyone I have spoken to actually has this as the strongest play on the board I day and I agree.  I could certainly be wrong, but the Ravens run D has been horrible.  I don't know if the Steelers will have enough to win( and thy have lost all 4 against Ravens without Ben). But I look for a very tight field position game. Steelers win 19-17

As far as connections go those come with time, and luck.  Have had the benefit of living lots of places and meeting some people that have a ton of knowledge and let's just say generally know the second before Vegas does and occasionally before.

Heck I I get a call with a tip on a horse at Belmont or aqueduct I immediately drop what I am doing and run up to lone star park and place the bet.  Had one call on that this summer and my 40.00 bet paid 3500.00. Trifecta with favorite going off at like 40-1.  What a great day that was. 2 horse led wire to wire!

Lmao WTH!

I had no idea GB covered. I was playing golf with KodQ, Cosmo, and WH. Checked my phone for scores and it was 21-20 GB with like 1:30 left and they didn't have the ball. So, i still don't know what happened. Sweet bet.

Do you like the 49ers at -5? O/U is at 35 too.

Jeff "hogfanintx" Anderson

I will probably play the bears plus the points.  Think both teams have the backups starting.  Not sure haven't really looked at it that much.  Will be a small play tonight if I do anything at all that is.

mine moved to -3.5, interdasting.

I got my tiny play in on the Bears at +5 earlier this morning, and it's now at +3 on my site.  I'm guessing that might be the confirmation that Alex Smith really is going to miss the game tonight (as will Cutler).

Early football lines that pop out at me:

LSU -12
Vandy -12 @ WF
OK St. +8.5 @ Oklahoma
Ole Miss -1 vs. Miss. St.
A&M -22 vs. Mizzou

Jeff "hogfanintx" Anderson

Bears +3.5. / 3 units
Under 35.5 5 units

I actually like kaepernick better than Campbell, but points are points!

Can't say LSU -11 isn't enticing, however 71% of the bets are on LSU and the line is moving the other...be weary. I'm playing the over at 51. $$$$$.

Jeff "hogfanintx" Anderson

Great day NFL yesterday. 2-0-1. Push on lions dropped my 3 teamer down I a 2 teamer, but still a hell of a day.

unbelievable. Is LSU just overrated or what?


Probably, but they are winning the way they usually win. Ugly!

I would take them -12.5 100 times out of 100. Can't believe this.

Had I bet the game I would have taken LSU as well.

Had a solid money making day yesterday.  A play or two away from being huge.  Only one I really regret is taking Clemson over an sec team.

Went 3-3 for -1 on the week and +29 on the season.  Went 2-1 in the Rant SEC ATS contest, so held steady at 67% for the season and will probably end up around 3rd.  Looking forward to next season ... just not as much as I'm looking forward to the announcement of our new HC.
