Fourth Straight Winning Week of Picks
I had my
fourth straight winning week of picks with the highest point total of the
stretch as I posted a 6-3 record for +33.14 points. I feel like I’m chipping
away at a mountain with a sledge hammer, but I’m trying to get rid of the
deficit left by the NBA playoffs.
I did well
with the two picks I posted Friday night, winning with Oklahoma -10.5 over
Texas on Saturday and the Packers -6.5 over the Falcons on Sunday night. Each
was a 15-point pick good for +14.29. It was the third week in a row that I won
my only college football pick of the week, and they’ve all been 15-pointers.
I’m now 7-4 for +48.90 in college football.
I kind of
liked the Packers a lot on Sunday and wanted to add to the pick, but I wasn’t
confident enough to do it without trying to build up the point total on other
games. That strategy didn’t work out as I split four 10-point picks: Chargers
-3.5 over the Broncos for +9.09, Giants -10 over the Seahawks for -10, Saints
-6.5 over Carolina -10, and Patriots -7.5 over the Jets for +9.09. For the
week, I still ended up on the positive side at 3-2 for +12.47 points. For the
season, I’m 10-7 for +43.01 points.
As the
already noted, in baseball I split the two League Division Series picks,
winning with the Tigers +130 over the Yankees for +13 points and losing with
the parlay of the Rangers -165, Brewers -160, and Phillies -300, for -10. Going
3-1 with the series winners for just +3 points made the Phillies loss a little
more brutal. Last night I won the only baseball game pick on the Cardinals
(Carpenter) -148 over the Brewers (Gallardo) for 5 points to win +3.38. I
finished the week in baseball 2-1 for +6.38. Unfortunately, it looks like I’ll
split the NLCS and ALCS as well. I’m standing at 33-32 for -3.13 points for the
season – talk about kissin’ your sister.
