    Surprisingly only 3 picks against the Jets last week. Already have 13 that missed a whole weeks picks too.

    Everybody has a bad week. It's easy to get right back in it

    I had a better week this week than week one but still struggling. Picking against the line is a lot more difficult when you're not able to buy points. Off topic but last year I put $100 down every Saturday for college football and lost every week except for one at the local game room. Hit an 8 teamer for $13,000. Got -110 odds on 7 of my 8 games. The only game I bought points was Florida against LSU and thankfully I did so. The line was LSU -7, I bought 3 points to make it Gatots getting +10 and Florida ended up losing by 7. Would've been a kick out and instead of 13,000 would've been about 7k. Going from 7 to 8 games is a big difference in payout. I've always stayed away from NFL because with only about 12 games to select from it's almost impossible to get lucky on 8. With NCAA you literally have 30-40 games to select from. But yea this year I've hit 3 three team college parlays and 0-3 on my 8 teamers (i always place a 3 teamer for security and & an 8 teamer for a dream) . Couple more weeks to get lucky but it's tough (although exciting).

    I need all the help I can get, hoping some of the leaders forget this week.

    One entry of note, geno007 who claimed to bet every NFL game, every year and come out ahead is currently in 22nd place. I wouldn't normally try and rub it in since I am in 12th place but I also never claimed to come out ahead betting every game.

    It looks like a lot of people have forgotten a week already. I don't feel like I'm doing that great, but I'm 5th.
