CBB 12/30 Temple-Villanova

Let's try this one tonight.

#509 Temple+6(Winner)

Villanova (10-1) is ranked 8th. Temple (9-2) is ranked 25th. Rankings are more about what voters thought you were supposed to be than actual performance.

The Owls are 15th in the RPI, the Wildcats 34th. Why? Temple, with games against Seton Hall, Georgia, Maryland, Georgetown and Texas A&M, has the 33rd-ranked strength of schedule while 'Nova, with a backloaded schedule filled with brutal Big East games, has a schedule strength of 154.

Don't be fooled by the rankings.
These teams are very evenly matched.
The Owls took Nova out last year.
And I think they are better now.

"They are really good," Wright said. "I actually think they are better than last year. Obviously, they gave us trouble last year. In the last few games, Randall is hitting shots, Moore scoring the way he is and Khalif Wyatt now. They've got some weapons. And [Micheal] Eric and Lavoy Allen have been studs for the last few years. And Fernandez isn't even making shots yet."

"We're similar to them," Wright said. "I think we're starting to get a feel for who we are and how we want to use people. I think they might be a little bit ahead of us right now, but we're both at about the same point."

These kids see each other all the time, so this is for big-time City bragging rights. I know Ramone Moore and I used to give him hell when 'Nova was dominating this series. But now the tables have turned, and I know he wants to have a big game and beat us again. I'll be shocked if this doesn't go down to the wire. So I think Temple+6 is a solid play.

Best Wishes!!

Yeah, it was a tight one, and it looked like it might slip away.
But Temple kept playing, got a few breaks and hung tough.
The Owls will be hard to beat because they can lock down on defense.
Should see both of these teams dancing in March.

Congrats and Cheers Winners!!

CFB Weds 12/29

CFB YTD 86-68-3

Haven't touched the Bowls yet.
Some of these games I just can't get into.
Anyway, let's try this one tonight.

Arizona+4.5(loss)

Best Wishes!!

This turned out to be a garbage pick.
AZ had chances to make noise, but their QB kept throwing picks.
We move on.

NFL Tues 12/28

NFL YTD 76-53-3

Came up on the short end last night.
Let's try this tonight.
This could get ugly.

Vikings+14.5(-115)(Winner)

Best Wishes!!

Wow, I thought Minny would make it interesting.
But I didn't see an upset coming.
It almost felt like the Eagles tanked the game.
Now, they get what amounts to a bye this week.
But they'll have to host a damn good wildcard team next week.
And risk going into the playoffs with no momentum.

Congrats and Cheers Winners!!

MNF 12/27

NFL YTD 76-52-3

Let's try this tonight.

Falcons-2.5(loss)
Hard to say the Falcons are under the radar at 12-2.
But I still don't think they get enough credit.
They're just solid, not sexy.
That's why there's good 2 way action on this one.
Gotta respect what the Saints have done.
But the Ravens showed you can get physical with them.
That's exactly what Atlanta is gonna try to do.
And "Matty Ice" Ryan has been virtually unbeatable at home.
So gimme the dirty birds laying less than 3.
It should be a good one.

Best Wishes!!

Falcons couldn't make the plays when it counted.
Drew Brees and the Saints took care of business.
So we get the loss here.

NFL Week 16

NFL YTD 73-49-3

We went 5-2 last week.
Let's try these today.

Early
Redskins+7(Winner)
Bears-2.5(-116)(Winner)
Browns+3.5(loss)
Titans+4(loss)

Late
Packers-3(Winner)
Texans-2.5(loss)
Vikings+14(PPD)

Best Wishes!!

The Texans couldn't hold a big lead.

And the Eagles game was PPD, no action.

So we end up 3-3 for the day.

The Eagles clinched the NFC East, so it wasn't all bad.

Need the Pack to take out the Bears next week

Then the Eagles would have a shot at #2 seed and a bye.

NFL Week 15

NFL YTD 68-47-3

Let's try these today.

Early
Titans-1(-115)(Winner)
Colts-4(-120)(Winner)

Giants-3(loss)
Redskins+10(-120)(Winner)
Lions+4.5(-115)(Winner)

Strong 5-2 day in the NFL.

The Giants loss didn't hurt at all, lol.

Congrats and Cheers Winners!!

CFB Fri 12/17

CFB YTD 85-68-3

Let's try this one tonight.

#342 E. Washington+9(Winner)
This is a National Semi-final, and I'll be rooting for 'Nova.
The Eagles will be without their stud RB.
But Nova's playing their 3rd straight road game.
And they've traveled close to 10,000 miles.
Just think this spread might be more than they can handle in this spot.

Best Wishes!!


"Obviously, I'm disappointed in the turnovers," coach Andy Talley said. "I think maybe the travel caught up to us a little bit. We'd already been to Texas and we've been all over. It's finals week for us, and our kids were taking finals [Thursday]. That's not an excuse, but it has been a rough road for us."

I'm proud of my fellow Villanovans.
They showed the heart of a Champion.
But you can't turn the ball over 6 times against anyone.
It's a credit that they were even in the game, really.
EWU took advantage of the TO's, and got the win.
We clearly had the right side here.
Congrats and Cheers Winners!!

NFL Week 15 Early Leans

These may end up being plays.
They were just 6-6 last week.
I went 6-4 with my plays.
So these are just a starting point.
Waiting for lines on the night games.
Anyway this is what it looks like for this week.

Rams
Titans
Colts
Panthers
Browns
Cowboys
Lions
Seahawks

NFL Betting Article (Stat-Fox)

NFL betting trends for Thursday participants
By: Michael Hill - StatFox
Published: 12/8/2010 at 7:08:00 AM
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The introduction of Thursday games in the latter part of the season provides some teams with what amounts to a second bye week at a time when some extra rest can be very beneficial. Wagering on these teams the week following these late-season Thursday games has proven to be very successful.
Starting with Week 10, there have been six Thursday games (we are not including the season opener between Minnesota and New Orleans in this study).

Since last Thursday’s participants (Houston and Philadelphia) have yet to take the field again, that leaves us with 10 teams to examine. There have also been two games featuring a pair of teams that played a Thursday game the week before so we’ve tossed those games from the study for the time being. The six remaining teams in this study are a perfect 6-0 ATS in their next games (5-1 SU). Restated, six teams that have participated in a late-season Thursday night game have faced a team that did not have the benefit of the extra rest the following week, and all six of these teams have beaten the spread. When you put the two games in which both teams were coming off the extra rest back into the mix, straight-up losers of Thursday night games are 5-0 ATS in their next games (3-2 SU).

Houston and Philadelphia will be looking to keep these angles perfect in Week 14. The Texans, last Thursday’s losers, are a home underdog to Baltimore on Monday Night Football. Keep in mind that the Ravens are exiting an extremely physical loss to Pittsburgh, which probably took an emotional toll on the team as well. As we pointed out earlier in the week, Houston has been one of the best home teams in the NFL over the final four weeks of the regular season during the past five years, posting an ATS record of 9-3 (75%).

Philadelphia, which defeated Houston last Thursday, is favored at Dallas in the Sunday night prime time game. The Cowboys are a dismal 2-7 ATS (22%) at home in the final quarter of the season over the last five years. The Cowboys are just 2-4 ATS at home this season.

Believe it or not, we have also uncovered a highly successful angle involving a certain group of teams that have had shorter rest periods between games.

With their 45-3 pasting of the NY Jets on Monday, New England became just the sixth home team to win outright on Monday Night Football this season (6-8 SU, 7-7 ATS). Like the five home winners before them, the Patriots will be on the road (at Chicago) for their next game after a short week of preparation. Contrary to conventional wisdom, this has been a successful formula in 2010.

Teams playing on the road on Sunday after winning at home on Monday are 4-1 ATS (80%) this season (3-2 SU). The most recent example of this came in Week 12 when San Diego humiliated Indianapolis at Lucas Oil Stadium after defeating division rival Denver at Qualcomm the preceding Monday.

The Patriots are a solid 4-2 on the road both ATS and SU so far this season and are 2-0 both ATS and SU against the NFC North. The Bears are an even 3-3 ATS at home (4-2 SU).

NFL Week 13 Fiasco

I'm sorry about not being able to post my picks this past Sunday.

My computer died, and I was limited to my cell phone for the internet.

I did get to post my picks in a thread I started at sportsforumworld.

I know it's cheesey, but I'm gonna count these picks in my record.

And they went 6-2, making me 7-2 for the week including the Eagles play.

Here's the thread for verification.

http://www.sportsforumworld.com/showthread.php?t=7287

I just feel bad that I was not able to post them here.

Bash me if you want, but I think I've earned the benefit of the doubt.

We move on.

So we'll see how it goes.

The Eagles managed to get there.

But it wasn't easy as the Texans were tough.

Giants+3.5 get a 4th quarter lead....blow the game and cover. loss.

The only bad play I made was the Rams, and they were tied at the half.

One of these weeks it's gonna all come together.

But, I guess I should be thankful that I'm winning.

NFL Thurs Play

NFL YTD 43-32-2

Let's try this tonight.

Dolphins-ML(loss)(played-1 earlier)

Fish are banged up.

But I think they rally around Thigpen at home.

Just not really impressed with the Bears or Cutler despite their 6-3 record.

In their last 5(2-2-1 ATS), they beat Car, Buf(by 3), and Min. They lost to Was, and Sea.

The Dolphins have played better(4-1 ATS), against tougher teams.

They beat GB, Cin, Ten and only lost to Pitt by one.

Got beat by the Ravens in a tough situational spot.

So I'm more impressed by them.

In Thigpen we trust.

Best Wishes!!

Thigpen sucked we move on.

NFL Week 10

NFL YTD 38-28-2

Got roughed up last week.

Let's see if we can win in week #10.

Early
Colts-6.5(loss)
This is a squarish play. But the Bengals look ready to implode.
It fits a system I use. May be a nice bounce back spot for Manning.
And getting a little value from the opener of -8, capturing key #7.
Jags-1(Winner)
Public loves the Texans here, but most sharps and almost all books will need J-Ville.
Dolphins-PK(Winner)
Very similar market dynamics as Hou-Jax. Also a system play.
Bills-1(-115)(Winner)
They have been close so many times. Maybe today they get the dreadful road Lions.
Panthers+7(loss)
Over 80% of the bets on the Bucs, but the line won't even shift, hmmm.
Let's call this a bookmaker's special.

Late
Rams+4.5(Winner)
Giants-12(loss)


4-3 going into the night game.

So we'll see how it goes.

SNF
Steelers-4(-117)(loss)
This is a system play. They should be able to run the ball and stop the run vs NE.
Should be a grind it out game, so I'll take the clearly better defense.

2ndH Over 21.5 NE-Pitt(Winner)

Best Wishes!!

5-4 on the day.

Nothing really to bitch about, except getting back-doored in Indy.

Just a grind it out day.

You can't turn the ball over against the Patriots.

Amazing the Chargers even had a chance to tie it late.

ALCS Game 3

Let's try this one.

Yankees+101(loss) (2 units)
I've got a lot of respect for what Cliff Lee has done.
But, this is virgin territory for the Rangers here.
And I just can't resist The Empire at home in this price range.
Maybe I'm a sucker for the Yankees' experience, mystique, etc.
So, I'm willing to pay to see Lee dazzle them again.

Best Wishes!!

Changed sides here, really for no good reason.

Lee was brilliant and I paid to see it.

We move on.

I won't count leans or opinions in my record.

Anyway this is my lean for tonight.

Texas A&M+3(-120)(push)

Best Wishes!!

The Aggies jumped out to a 21-7 lead at the half.

Then trailed 35-21 in the 4th.

Tied it, only to lose by 3 in OT.

No way anyone shoulda lost on this game.

If you took OK St you shoulda laid -2.5.

So you either pushed with A&M+3 or won with OK St-2.5.

NFL Week 1

Not sure what to expect to open the season.

It's hard to get a good read in preseason.

So, I'm mainly just gonna fade the most popular plays and see what happens.

Let's try these.

Bills+3(+105)(loss)
Bucs-2.5(-120)(Winner)
Eagles+3(-120)(loss)
Seahawks+3(-105)(Winner)
Cowboys-3(-116)(loss)

Best Wishes!!

Mildly disappointing 2-3 start in the NFL.

The Eagles were tough to watch while Kolb was in there.

Vick looked solid. So it looks like we may have a QB controversy already.

I know Reid is committed to Kolb.

But the fans won't be patient if he continues to play poorly.

Gonna make great sports talk radio.

Braves-114(loss)
Over 9.5(-120) Atl-Fla(loss)
Rockies+135(Winner)

note: Brewers+220 is good value, IMO, if you can get it.

CFB Bonus Play(5pm ET kick)
Villanova+4(loss)
Going down to the game. I'm biased towards Nova naturally.
But, I would have taken the points regardless of the Fav here.
These games are always tight, so I'm gonna take anything over 3.
I lean to Temple outright, this may be their year.

Best Wishes!!


Well in MLB my Over picks were horrible 0-2, that led me to a 2-3 day.

But the killer was the Temple-Nova game. And I was there to see it.

I don't usually cry about bad beats, but that one stung.

Temple kicks a game winning FG to lead 25-24, the clock reads :00.

They put 3 seconds back on the clock. That seemed right cuz it was :08 to start.

On the kickoff, after about 5 laterals, Temple intercepts one and runs it in.

31-24 Final, OUCH!!

And this is after Nova had taken the lead 24-22 with 1:40 left. Wow.

Thurs 9/2 Triple Play

Nice night in sports for a Thurs as CFB kicks off.

MLB playoff push continues and the NFL wraps up these X-games.

Best Wishes!!

1-2 day on the diamond.

Eagles Opinion

I know it was only the second preseason game and all.

But it was hard to miss the problems they have.

They allowed way too much pressure on Kolb and Vick.

Kolb will be fine if he is given time.

The D-line was gashed a few times.

Add in some costly penalties and red zone miscues, and I don't like what I saw.

If they don't get it fixed, they will be no better than an 8-8 team.

I will be watching carefully the play on both lines next week.

Since week 3 is the dress rehearsal, I think I'll get a better read.

But I'm very concerned as a fan, and ready to pounce as a bettor.

Fri 8/20 Picks

Let's try this:

MLB
969 Braves+134

There's plenty of steam on the Twins.

I just like the Braves as a team and I get to be a contrarian.

Plus I think there's some value here.


....FWIW...Bookie Bill had a play on Mets Over 9.

But, I got home too late to get down.


Best Wishes!!

Sweet!!

It's a beautiful thing when a plan comes together!!

Bookie Bill bounces back strong with a no sweat winner on the Under.

The Celtics came home barely and I hit a little middle on the 2ndH Over.

So it was a solid 3-0 night and we banked close to 6 units.

Congrats and Cheers Winners!!

NBA Comment

Love the bargains you can find fading zig-zag.

The Suns have handled the Spurs pretty good especially at home.

So I thought there was value with the line artificially low due to zig-zag.

Congrats Winners!!

Welcome to Pennrose Management Company!!

I start a new job on Monday in property management, so things are kinda hectic for me right now.

But I will have my evenings and weekends off which is key.

So after some time to get into the swing, I should have time for a little handicapping.

I should be able to mix in a few MLB or NBA Playoff picks.


One thing that seems clear to me early this season.

The Phillies will be an Over the total team.

I don't think they have much pitching outside of Halladay, sometimes Hamels.

And their bats are just sick.

Many nights they won't be able to make the total high enough, just like tonight.

Boy the Phillies are fun to watch.

Wish me luck and I'll check back in when I can.

Best Wishes!!

Friday Madness

3-3 on Thurs.

Let's see what we can do today.

Temple-3.5
Cornell seems to be a trendy upset pick.
But Temple plays good defense, and they are playing well.
They have won 10 in a row, and I think they can make a deep run.
But first they have to get by this tough opener.
I think it'll be close, but the Owls pull away late.

Purdue-4
Siena is another popular pick.
And I almost got sucked in.
But I think Purdue is the better team.
So gimme the chalk nobody wants.

I'll probably add later.

Best Wishes!!

Adding Late

Sorry a game already went off.

UNLV+1
Wash+1.5
Wake Forest+5.5


Best Wishes!!

Thursday Madness

Let's Dance!!!

And try to find a few winners.

Let's try these to start.

I may add later, but I'm stuck at work.

So this is all for now.

Robert Morris+18
Richmond-2
Notre Dame-3

Best Wishes!!

Sunday Wrap

Looks like a solid 2-1-1 Winning selection Sunday.

Now I want to see the seeds that Temple and Nova get.

I'm guessing they will both be 3 seeds.

Maybe a 4 for struggling Nova.

But I really like what the Temple Owls are doing.

Fran Dunphy has done a fabulous job.

And I expect them to do more damage than Nova.

But the draw is always important.

Let the Madness begin!!

Congrats and Cheers Winners!!

Super Bowl Sunday

Hope everyone is doing fine.

We got buried under 2 feet of snow here in Philly on Sat.

But, I'm pretty pumped for what should be an exciting Super Bowl.

Let's start things off with a CBB play.

I'll add as we go.

CBB
Cincinnati+4.5(-115)

Best Wishes!!

Probably Passing Until the Superbowl

Unless something looks too good to pass on, I'll be a spectator this week.

I think it's a good time to draw down accounts ahead of the post SB rush.

And it's a good time to take a break from the daily grind.

You want to recharge and get ready for the CBB stretch run and March Madness.

I'll definitely have a few plays for the SuperBowl though.

Later,
Gary

Well having a problem posting links, but I'll figure it out.

Welcome to Gary Philly Sports!!

Thanks for stopping by!!

I'm in the process of "moving" from the Blog I've kept for about 2 years at myspace.

Posting here will give me more credibility since you don't control the time stamp of posts.

And myspace is more of site for kids and young adults anyway.

So it seems a little Mickey Mouse to me now.

But, I'm loyal, so it's a little tough for me to just snap my fingers and switch.

It's gonna happen soon, just bear with me.

In the meantime, you can go there and get an idea of how I post.

Here's the link,
