Watched the Mn-PTS game on nfl network replay tonight just to see Peterson "Truck" that little feller again a couple times. You know how AD tends to get better in the 2nd-half? Well the 2nd-half of the season starts for AD this Sunday at about 3:16 and them little fellers on the Green Bay side of the ball are about to get "Trucked"!
I just refered back to an article that I was reading earlier today. I read it this morning and then refered back to it before posting. I read it WRONG twice!
Deaths from breast cancer are about 40-45,000 for women and 30ish thousand for men. That's per year for the last 8 years.
I thought that was more the case.
Thanks for the link!

DT > STL (spread u/a; waiting on Stafford status?)
IND > SF
CHI > CLV
BLT > DNV
JAX > TN
SD > OAK
GB > MN
AZ > CAR

what say ye?
You know half of your team abbreviations are wrong, right? For instance, Baltimore is "BAL" and Denver is "DEN".
Don't mean to nitpick, but it sucks having to decipher your posts.
Buffalo over Houston - Breakin' .500 going into the bye week.
Chicago over Cleve - After last week, Lovie won't be loved if this one goes south.
Dallas over Seattle - Which Seattle team will come to play today?
Detroit over Rams - God help us!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Denver over Balt - Should be a knock down-drag out game.
Indy over Niners - Can the colts be stopped?
Miami over Jets - Which Fins will we see? The ones who played the 1st half last week, or the 2nd half?
Giants over Phili - May be the game of the week.
Tenn over Jack - See "Detroit over Rams" comment.
Sand Dog over Oaktown - Al Davis needs to change his soiled Depends.
Arizona over Carolina - Will this be the week of the Delhomme benching?
Minn over G.B. - Peterson is a frickin' STUD.
N.O. over Atlanta - Atlanta is a good team. But not THAT good.
The System's eyes were bigger than it's stomach last week, bit off more than it could chew and went 3 - 5 for the 8 picks vs. spread last week (8 - 8 ytd).
this week's games' best bets...
Jacksonville + 3 1/2 (vs Tennessee) Detroit - 4 (vs. St Louis) Buffalo + 3 1/2 (vs. Houston) Seattle + 9 1/2 (vs. Dallas) New York Jets -3 1/2 (vs. Miami) Philadelphia + 1 (vs New York Giants)

Please forgive my ignorance. I'm not a gambler. But you seem to take your "system" seriously, like a business. That's totally cool, I'm just looking for consistency with your picks. Correct me if I am wrong, but your "systems" most current post info differs from what you have listed here.
So what is it?
Is Jacksonville favored or not? JAX > TN
How about Buffalo? (Only upset of the week) BF > HS
Philadelphia??? PHL > NYG
I do it for fun. You seem to run a business. I just want to make sure I understand how your "system" works.

LOL, not serious, nor a "business". Although the methodology for picking the games is quite inflexible ((Own Pts For + Opp Pts Against/Tot Games) + 3 for home team). Forget where I saw this, but it was many years ago and I have found it to be quite accurate (relatively speaking).
If I understand your question correctly...The spread I think was incomplete when I first posted the 13 winners (straight up) earlier in the week and some of the games were still "off" the line and I took a guess on who would be favored. I knew Phl/NYG would be close and TS actually had Jacksonville winning by more than 4 pts. As it turned out, I am taking three under-dogs like you have noticed. Does that answer your question?

Gotcha. I figured the first post that was straight up was just preliminary. I just wanted to make sure though, as we discussed earlier that lines change as the week goes by.
Before, you said that the "system" spits on the line. According to your post, the "system" seems to adjust to better match the spread as the week progresses. And we all know that two of the main factors that determine the spread is the injury report and coaching personnel decisions that develop through the week. This is why I said putting out picks on a Monday was ballsy.
The spread assists me when I'm picking games, but I also often go on whims and desired outcomes as well. That's why I wait 'til Thursday to put up my picks. The "system" is still point based, just on varying criteria. As far back as I remember, home teams got a 3 point advantage like you said. As for me, I believe that any team can win on any given Sunday.
With the exception of some weeks, like last week, most spreads are not met close to 60% of the time.
