The NFL has been a "crap shoot" the past five years. I pay attention to the weekly trends and the last four weeks have been tough. This year injuries have hampered a lot of good teams. Just found out the Amaini Toomer is done for the year with the G-men. Had him on my fantasy team and got rid of him yesterday, just in time. If I had your knowledge on the ponies and you had mine on football, WE BE RICH!  |
I think what he is saying is 50% correct is exactly what one might expect throwing darts. Saying it is not bad really does not mean much. Try this. Use the line to pick the winners in all these games and then go completely opposite. Oracle comes out 50%... Cmon guys, 50% over the entire season is just about what random says. And with that 10% gone, Vegas wins, as usual. Pro football is incredibly tough. Now the Pillow man is pretty incredible. He has managed to get below 50% fairly regularly. So use his picks and go opposite. College is much easier.
