Bet the Farm

[spanky]

Big baseball game tonight with the Mets taking on the Braves. I'll all over the Mets with DeGrom on the bump. Cooler Special   Where is John Halvorseen when I need him?

I guess I'm lucky I do not have a farm!!! So, no bet for me.

Hope somebody faded my baseball pick and made some cash. Someday I'am gonna have to get around to actually riding a horse! Time to start handicapping my collage football plays...I'll be giving those out later! Right now, gonna finish watching the Underworld trilogy! Love me a good vammpire movie...

Well, at least I'm consistent...another 1-5 week with the only winner being Clemson.

So far, 5-1, 1-5, and 1-5.

Overall, 7-11.  Is there a new cooler in town?

Tough game, though not as tough as Spanky makes it…..
Credit for playing the game and postIng choices. Back a few years, big, a few others and myself posted football choices and reasons why regularly. With racing winding down, maybe we can expand that concept again?

based on the lines from my local casino:

BUFFALO -3 @ Baltimore
Bills rebound from being shut down by a seriously under-valued Dolphin D. Raven's D is good, though qb Allen scores today. Balt qb's running is the wild card, but the # isn't large. Allen spreads it around to new options rb Cook and wr McKenzie.

NY GIANTS -2.5 vs Chicago
These guys are always shaky as a favorite, however qb Jones WILL try to move it through the air, and rb Barkley is playing well. Giants were decent vs a good Cowboy D last week. Hard to trust the Bear O until qb Fields gets his act together and gets a functional passing game. We know about Chi rb Herbert now--can he do it consistently behind a shallow O line?These qbs might run for more than they throw. Probably a low-scoring game where the extra .5 @ -2.5 could be the difference?

DALLAS -3.5 vs Washington
Cowboy O might be improving with both rbs playing better + Lamb and Brown getting open and te Schultz returning. Skins can score occasionally, though Dallas' opportunistic D should be the difference maker with a pass rush neutering Wentz.
