NFL Picks Week Two: New Orleans Saints at Cleveland Browns

NFL Picks Week Two: New Orleans Saints at Cleveland Browns

It’s rare that I disagree with such a strong signal from the computer, but I am going my own way on this game. I just don’t see the Cleveland Browns hanging with an angry Saints team that fumbled away a win last week. The Browns looked good against Pitt, the Browns are home, and the Browns are better than most people give them credit for. The spread is big and the Saints are on the road… from a mechanical, algorithmic approach, I understand the output. I just don’t agree.

ZCODE POD MLB CASH CONTEST – ROUND 10 RECAP

ZCODE CASH CHAMPIONSHIP – MLB 2014 ROUND 10 RECAP

What an amazing contest we have! Round 10 was really exciting and very polite for… the contest drama! Top players fall into small slump, but players just behind them have now best time during this contest! I would compare it to the marathon, when some runners start very hard, but at the end they get short of breath while runners who started slowly and saved more energy now pushing very hard. Do leaders hold their positions or will be pass by pursuit group? We will get answers  ... 

NFL Picks Week Two, Thursday Night Football: Steelers Ravens

This game is always a grind. These are two bitter rivals that have sunk into mediocrity together. I expect more of the same from the last few years, but there’s some more volatility here due to the lack of talent on the field.

Joe Flacco’s Super Bowl cast is gone. The defense is some sort of fusion of youth and desperation after cutting cap space to pay Flacco far more than he deserves. The offense parted with most of their weapons as well – Ray Rice is suspended and cut, Boldin is gone, and they just don’t have the balance  ... 

MLB Picks: Baltimore Orioles at Boston Red Sox

MLB Picks: Baltimore Orioles at Boston Red Sox, AB Doubler

My forum won big on Game One, and normally I avoid games like this where buying back in can squander our profits. I like the big statistical edge of progressions and I usually like to sit on my money once I already have it. The Baltimore Orioles defeated the Boston Red Sox, and that’s typically good enough for me.

That said, this game still fits my system and the pitching matchup is even more lucrative. In this game we have Tillman, the ace of the Orioles staff, with an even  ... 

ZCODE POD MLB CASH CONTEST – ROUND 9 RECAP

ZCODE CASH CHAMPIONSHIP – MLB 2014 ROUND 9 RECAP

We have really fast action in the contest! Round 9 brought us extremely exciting action and another leader change! With 3 more rounds to go I expect tons of spectacular moves in the ranks! I am pretty sure some of contenders saved best of the best for last rounds and I noticed few really hot runners in the “second” line!

ROUND 9 HEROES

Nicholas(christlives97) – fantastic job Nicholas! It were pretty nervous moments in early innings when Dodgers couldn’t score against D’backs, but then they  ... 

Monday Night Football Week One Picks: New York Giants at Detroit Lions

NFL Week One Picks Contest: New York Giants at Detroit LionsI think the New York Giants will be much better this year. I like what they did to address offseason weaknesses, and I expect they’ll be more competitive in the playoff race if they don’t start the year 0-6 again. I love Tom Coughlin, I like the revamped running game, and I think the Giants have enough balance for Eli Manning to be effective again.

I don’t understand the Detroit Lions. Dynamic rushers, the best receiver in the game, a solid quarterback… why isn’t this team better?

To me, this  ... 

NFL Picks Week One: San Francisco 49ers at Dallas Cowboys

NFL Picks Week One: San Francisco 49ers at Dallas Cowboys

I think the Dallas Cowboys are going to be terrible this year. They lost their best defensive player and will struggle to pressure the quarterback after cutting Demarcus Ware. The secondary is passable, but that was because they got to the passer. Now, they’ll be relying on their corners who I expect to be exposed. Ware will be missed in a big way.

The Niners defense isn’t 100%, but they’re still good. While I respect Tony Romo, I don’t think the Cowboys have enough. They have a bad (stupid) coach,  ... 

NFL Picks Week One: Cincinnati Bengals at Baltimore Ravens

NFL Picks Week One: Cincinnati Bengals at Baltimore Ravens

I really like this game. We got in when the line jumped up and bought it to 3.5, but I also like it at two points right now, buying it to three and taking the money line. The computer has some conflicting parameters that we’ll address, but this should be a telling game for the AFC North.

The Ravens will be without Ray Rice after a domestic dispute, putting it lightly, got him suspended for the first two games. The platoon that was so ineffective last year will be  ...
