NFL Picks Week Nine: Cincinnati Bengals at Miami Dolphins, Thursday Night Football

NFL Picks Week Nine: Cincinnati Bengals at Miami Dolphins

I never thought the Dolphins were all that good. I bet them for under on total wins, Ive bet against them for profit all year. I don’t think the Dolphins at 2.5 will cover.

The Bengals have a good team. Great defense, good running game, excellent deep threat passing game. Balance should be the key here. Cincy has an edge as long as they can play their game in this one, which will be tough on the road but I expect them to get it done.

Public money is coming in  ... 

NHL Picks 10/30: Toronto Maple Leafs at Calgary Flames

NHL Picks 10/30: Toronto Maple Leafs at Calgary Flames

The Leafs have started the year at a good pace. Even without top free-agent signing David Clarkson, Toronto has been scoring. Their 44 goals lead the East, and they’ve climbed to the top of their division.

Balancing their attack, the goaltending tandem they’ve established has led them to a +14 goal differential. If only Brian Burke could see this team now.

The Calgary Flames have fallen off dramatically. They’ve lost two of three and four of their last six. Back home, they are playing considerably better. They’re also very well rested.  ... 

Featuring Vegas Legend Packer Dave

WEEK 6 NFL Grand Cash Championship – RESULTS

Great week! Every team scored and we had second highest result with goals scored in a week in contest history. Both conferences scored 349 goals. Very interesting scenario in west this time. Mustangs need only 2 point to win conference and behind them there is huge battle for playoffs spot.

Expos 7 : 11 Quad Aces

Ouch! That is painfull scenario for Expos. They were leading before last game, but lost because Seahawks didn’t cover for Dexter (f.white42). This way both teams went with wins and 2 lost, but Aces took better odds and won by 4. Well played by  ... 

NHL Picks: Free $100 Facebook Contest Announced

NHL Picks: Free $100 Contest Announced!

Our highly successful MLB Facebook contest came down to the wire, requiring a tiebreaker round that continued all the way to an incredibly exciting Game Four of the World Series. Now that we’ve finished with our baseball contest, it’s time to announce another round of our free contests, the 2013 NHL edition.

As with our baseball contest, we’ll be posting a featured game just about every week. Simply comment on that game, which will usually be a challenging game to predict, with who you think will win. This is a moneyline only competition. The first contestant to correctly predict the outcome of ten specially selected games will win the $100 prize. You do not need to be a VIP member to participate (though it does seem to help – our winners through the years are very often members)!

Keep your eyes peeled for Facebook posts designated for the competition. We’ll have our first post later  ... 

Monday Night Football Picks: Seattle Seahawks at St. Louis Rams

NFL Picks Week Eight: Seattle Seahawks at St. Louis Rams, Monday Night Football

I don’t trust the Seahawks on the road. I know they came through last week on a short week, but they don’t travel well. They make me nervous.

That said, they’re an elite team. Seattle has one of the best defenses in football – led by an aggressive secondary and incredible front seven depth. The offense is physical and a bruising running game wears teams down.

Also, the Rams are terrible.

I respect the hell out of Jeff Fisher, but I don’t see how he can pull  ... 

Featuring Marina, beautiful soccer princess.

1. Hi Marina. You are a rare women in our overly manly Zcode club!

Please tell us your story. Where are you from and how did you

start your sports investing journey.

-Okay.  I’m originally from Poland and moved with my family to west Germany at the age of 3. (I’m not so young as i look like . 27) As i remember it was 1994 when i have been infected with football virus  when Italy and Brazil played in the world cup final and Brazil  won 3:2 after penalties. It’s the first “soccer” match i remember.

I can not explain  ... 

NFL Picks and Predictions Week Eight: Sunday Night Football, Packers Vikings

NFL Picks and Predictions: Sunday Night Football, Green Bay Packers at Minnesota Vikings

I don’t feel comfortable betting such a big line on the road, and as such my only play here is a “Baromir Style” parlay on the moneyline for the Green Bay Packers.

The Vikings had a horrible performance last week as an ailing Adrian Peterson failed to get going early. Losing to a winless team is bad, but this is a divisional game on national television, and that usually keeps the score tight.

On the road in Minnesota, a hostile environment for anyone let alone the hated  ... 

NHL Picks 10/25: Vancouver Canucks at St. Louis Blues

NHL Picks and Predictions, 10/25: Vancouver Canucks at St. Louis Blues

Z-Code and I have wildly different lines here. My book has +180, Z-Code has +150 or so. I think that makes some difference.

The Vancouver Canucks are too good a team to be this big of an underdog. I say this aware that they’re on the road and in a back to back. Normally, I would never touch a game like this. At this line, however, I think it’s worth a small wager on the Canucks.

The Blues are a consistent team, but they don’t strike me as dominant.  ...
