Week 13 Free NFL Winning Picks 2008: blah blah, lets win money!

The NFL has been kind to us lately. Our records are as follows: RPJ $yndicate is 17-19 on the season, Flash Flash is 10-6 and Runny Pelvis is 17-33-1. We love a bunch of games this Sunday and are coming out swinging. We also have a new favorite hottie. Between Nina Moric and Jakki Degg, this has been one hell of a week. Check out Jakki:

 

RPJ $yndicate Pick

Denver at NY Jets (-8.5) - We love betting the hot team and the Jets are one of the hottest. The Jets have four covers in a row and have won 5 games in a row since a bizarre loss to the Oakland Raiders and they sit in first place. New York has scored a franchise-record 115 points in its last three games, as Favre is completing 77.4 percent of his passes for 649 yards, five touchdowns and one interception in those contests. The Jets are getting it done on both sides of the ball though. The Jets are third in the league against the run (78.0 ypg), and haven’t allowed a 100-yard rusher all season. They limited the Titans to 45 yards on 11 carries last week. Somehow, the Broncos are also in first place but are doing it in different fashion with one of the worst defenses in football. The Broncos are 28th in both total defense (390.8 yards per game) and scoring defense (27.5 ppg). Denver was unable to slow down lowly Oakland last Sunday, as the Raiders, who hadn’t scored an offensive touchdown in 15 quarters, handed the Broncos a 31-10 home loss. The ATS numbers:

Broncos

Broncos are 5-12 ATS in their last 17 road games.

Broncos are 6-15-1 ATS in their last 22 games after allowing more than 150 yards rushing in their previous game.

Broncos are 8-21-1 ATS in their last 30 games on grass.

Broncos are 7-19-1 ATS in their last 27 vs. AFC.

Broncos are 8-22 ATS in their last 30 games following a SU loss of more than 14 points.

Broncos are 9-25-1 ATS in their last 35 games overall.

Broncos are 4-12 ATS vs. a team with a winning record.

Broncos are 1-4-1 ATS in their last 6 games in Week 13.

Broncos are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games following a ATS loss.

Broncos are 1-6 ATS in their last 7 road games vs. a team with a winning home record.

Broncos are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games after allowing more than 30 points in their previous game.

Jets

Jets are 4-0 ATS vs. a team with a winning record.

Jets are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games following a S.U. win.

Jets are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games in November.

Jets are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games overall.

Jets are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games in Week 13.

Jets are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games after allowing less than 90 yards rushing in their previous game.

Jets are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games following a ATS win.

We think this number might be a little high and we wish the game was scheduled for 1pm but beggars can’t be choosers. The easiest thing to do is betting is to hammer the hot team and the Jets are the hottest team in the AFC. We are taking the Jets to win and cover!

 Flash Flash Picks

NY Giants at Washington (+3.5) - A lot of bettors are betting on the Redskins and the line shows this. This line should be as high as the Jets/Broncs, if not higher. Yes, the Giants are banged up, but if you have not been paying attention this year, the Giants are THE BEST TEAM in the NFL. I want to the Cowboys/Redskins monday night football game two weeks ago and let me tell you one thing…the Redskins have zero offense when Portis is banged up and guess what…Portis is banged up. Portis will play but he is not the same back he was early in the year. And earlier in the year, the Giants held Portis to his second lowest per carry yardage of the season. The Giants just went on the road without Jacobs and Plax and destroyed the Cardinals. That win was impressive as hell. Jacobs might be back but Plax is still out. It just does not matter because the G-Men are the ultimate team and somebody like Boss, Steve Smith or Hixon always steps up. The Giants are 9-2 ATS and are 4-1 ATS on the road and the Redskins are only 2-4 ATS at home. The Giants will probably have a let down or two this year like they did against the Browns but it will not be within the NFC East. Here are the ATS numbers:

Giants

• Giants are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 vs. NFC East.
• Giants are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games in November.
• Giants are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games after accumulating less than 90 yards rushing in their previous game.
• Giants are 13-3 ATS vs. a team with a winning record.
• Giants are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games on field turf.
• Giants are 12-3 ATS in their last 15 games after allowing less than 90 yards rushing in their previous game.
• Giants are 23-6 ATS in their last 29 games overall.
• Giants are 21-6 ATS in their last 27 road games.
• Giants are 20-6 ATS in their last 26 games after allowing more than 350 total yards in their previous game.
• Giants are 18-6 ATS in their last 24 games following a S.U. win.
• Giants are 21-7 ATS in their last 28 games following a ATS win.
• Giants are 24-8-1 ATS in their last 33 vs. NFC.
• Giants are 23-8 ATS in their last 31 road games vs. a team with a winning home record.
• Giants are 18-7-1 ATS in their last 26 games after scoring more than 30 points in their previous game.

Redskins

Redskins are 5-13 ATS in their last 18 home games vs. a team with a winning road record.

Redskins are 1-4-1 ATS in their last 6 games on field turf.

Redskins are 1-4-1 ATS in their last 6 games overall.

Redskins are 1-5-1 ATS in their last 7 games in November.

Redskins are 1-6-1 ATS in their last 8 games after allowing less than 250 total yards in their previous game.

Redskins are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 home games.

Head-to-Head

Giants are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 meetings.

Favorite is 6-2 ATS in their last 8 meetings.

That stat that the Skins ore 0-4 ATS in their last 4 at home is significant and I have first hand knowledge. No matter what the Skins fans do, FedEx field is not loud and has no chance of being loud. Literally, Notre Dame’s stadium gets 10 times louder and that is a smaller stadium. Dan Snyder is a money grubbing whore and he destroyed the home field advantage the Skins had at RFX with the montrosity that is FedEx field. I think this game will be just like the first game…Low scoring in the first half, the better team and better coaching staff makes adjustments and comes out firing. And that team is the Giants. I am taking the Giants to win and cover!

 

Runny Pelvis Picks

Panthers at Packers (-3): Panthers are playing very bad right now. Delhomme has been inconsistent, and that is putting it nicely. Going to Lambeau at the end of Novemebr is tough for any team. Even more so when they are playing bad. I’m taking the Packers and giving the points. 

Pittsburgh at New England (-1): Teams really show their worth during this time of year. In order to be champs, you have to play at a championship level. Part of that is being able to beat good teams n the road. In order to do that, you have to play outstanding D. That is just what the Steelers do. They roll into Foxboro to face a Pats team that is extrememly hot and seemingly in sync. How do you stop a team like that? Hit them in the mouth! That is what the Steelers do best. They will blitz, and blitz and blitz. They will also completely shutdown the Pats running game. Steelers win in a close one. Take the Steelers and the points. 

Kansas City at Oakland (-3): I can’t believe I’m even touching this game, but my Raiders are hot right now. They can match wits with the Chiefs at home. I’m taking the Raiders and giving the points.

 Chicago at Minnesota (-3.5): Great NFC North match-up. The Bears roll into Minnesota in a fight for 1st place. The Vikings are playing solid D and their running game is taking off. Both teams are sketchy at QB, but I like the Vikings D and running attack. I’m taking the Vikings and giving the points.

RPJ $yndicate Ass Shot of the Day

Flash Flash and Runny

2008 Week 12 Free NFL Winning Picks: The Return of Runny and Road Team Covers

Well Runny is fighting to get back to picking after his one game self-imposed ban. RPJ $yndicate is 16-18 on the season, Flash Flash is 9-6 on the season and Runny Pelvis is 14-25-1. RPJ had a bad week last week but as you can see with our NCAA picks, we can rebound and go on a serious run and we have thrown down undefeated NFL weekends as high as 6-0 this season. On with the picks. Of course we are going to show you some ass. Don’t you worry.

RPJ $yndicate Picks

New England at Miami (Pick ‘EM)- Revenge is a bitch. People always say that revenge is never a factor. When they say that they are either flat out liars or born on Mars and YES it does apply in the NFL, and doubley so when you are embarassed in your own building with some freaky ass Wildcat offense. Think about this season right now. If we could tell you that New England was tied with Miami in the standings, looking up at the Jets and one of these two teams had to win this game to keep up or tie the Jets in the standings….who do you bet on? Answer to yourself. Then we tell you that the Patriots are a pick ‘em in this very scenario. Does it stop to make you think? Well we are. This is also a true line, as far as we can tell, almost 90% of the money is on the Pats and the line has moved from -3 to -1 or pick em depending on what you can get. Here are the ATS numbers:

Pats

• Patriots are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games following a ATS loss.
• Patriots are 7-1 ATS in their last 8 games after allowing more than 30 points in their previous game.
• Patriots are 17-4-1 ATS in their last 22 games following a S.U. loss.
• Patriots are 8-3 ATS in their last 11 road games vs. a team with a winning home record.
• Patriots are 16-6 ATS in their last 22 road games.
• Patriots are 36-16-1 ATS in their last 53 games after accumulating more than 350 total yards in their previous game.
• Patriots are 35-17-1 ATS in their last 53 vs. AFC East.
• Patriots are 43-21-3 ATS in their last 67 games on grass.

Fins

• Dolphins are 12-31-1 ATS in their last 44 home games.
• Dolphins are 5-15 ATS in their last 20 games after allowing less than 90 yards rushing in their previous game.
• Dolphins are 5-16-1 ATS in their last 22 games after allowing less than 250 total yards in their previous game.
• Dolphins are 6-20-2 ATS in their last 28 vs. AFC East.
• Dolphins are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games after accumulating more than 350 total yards in their previous game.

Throw in the fact that the road team is 5-2 in their last 7 meetings and we think you know where we are going with this. Pats have revenge, anger coming off a loss to the Jets at home, 3 days extra rest, Belichik and Matt Cassel who just happened to lead his team to 400 passing yards, 60 yards rushing, a 4th quarter game tying comeback all in his last start. Yes, we know the pats are injured on both sides of the ball and do not have a real RB. But did you know that the Pats actually run for more yards per game than the Fins. Bet you didn’t! We are taking the Pats to cover and win outright.

Carolina at Atlanta (-1) - Panthers have been winning ugly but the key is they have been WINNING and they are looking to win their 4th straight road game. Carolina has not lost in Atlanta since 2004. This is make or break time for Atlanta with 3 of their next 4 games against division opponents. Carolina has won 4 in a row and is one game up on Tampa and 2 up on Atlanta. John Fox and his team know how important this game is. Atlanta is too young to comprehend what the NFL is all about come the end of November. Here are the ATS numbers:

Panthers

• Panthers are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games following a ATS loss.
• Panthers are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games on field turf.
• Panthers are 11-3 ATS in their last 14 games after scoring more than 30 points in their previous game.
• Panthers are 41-19-1 ATS in their last 61 games after accumulating less than 150 yards passing in their previous game.

Falcons

• Falcons are 2-6 ATS vs. a team with a winning record.
• Falcons are 4-12-1 ATS in their last 17 home games vs. a team with a winning road record.
• Falcons are 2-7-1 ATS in their last 10 games in Week 12.
• Falcons are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 vs. NFC South.

Head-to-Head

• Panthers are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 meetings.
• Road team is 5-1 ATS in their last 6 meetings.

Well that about does it. Rookie QB versus the Panthers D in a game that means a heck of a lot more to the Panthers. Panthers know they need to keep their lead and keep up with the #2 spot to get a bye in the playoffs. Falcons are just along for the ride. We are taking the Panthers to cover and we are sure they win!

Runny Pelvis Picks

NY Jets at Tennessee(-5.5): The Titans have been a HUGE surprise this year. So have the Jets. If you told me at the start of the year that at the end of November the Titans would be undefeated and the Jets would be in 1st place, I would have punched you in the face for spreadin’ lies. But, that is where we find ourselves. The Titans have been cover demons this year, and I like them to cover in this one. Why? Two words: Brett Favre. He has been playing with the house’s money for about years now. This week he goes into Tennessee to face the AFC’s best team, and arguably, the best D he has faced all year. The Titans know how to play D. They force turnovers and they will do the same this week. Favre will turn the ball over too much. Titans will win and cover.

Texans @ Browns (OVER 50.5): This is a lot of points to score in a NFL game, but these teams cannot stop anyone. I think they can put their heads together and make it a debacle. The weather is going to be terrible. It will be sloppy. That probably lends itself to taking the Under, but I have faith in how terrible these teams are. I’m taking the OVER 50.5.

49ers @ Cowboys (-9.5):If it was 15 years ago, this game would be the game of the year.But, it is 2008 and these teams are major disappointments. I like the Boys at home this week. Romo has his legs under him and he has had another week to work with Roy Williams. I think they are due for a solid offensive output game. They key to this game, however, is how solid the Boys D has been in recent weeks. They should shut down the 49ers. Although the Boys have a tendency to play down to teams, I think they will pull out the cover. I’m taking the Boys-9.5.

Runny’s Quadruple Trap Special:This is the debut of the Quadruple Trap Special!! I spotted four games this week where Vegas is trying to lure you into their clutches. Don’t fall for the trap!! Here are the games:

1). Bears @ Rams (+7.5): Don’t ask questions. Take the Rams and the points.

2). Giants @ Cards (+3): Again, don’t ask questions. Take the Cards and the points.

3). Raiders @ Broncos (+9): After the week one game, this is begging you to take the Broncos. That is not even the trap! Trust me. Take the Raiders and the points.

4). Buccaneers @ Lions (+8): The grand finale!! Take the Lions and the points.

Flash Flash Picks

Sorry folks. I got nothing today after my 1-1 MNF game.

RPJ $yndicate Boob shot of the week!

As always, good luck with your picks.

Flash Flash and Runny

2008 Week 11 Free NFL Winning Picks: Sunday Funday!

We lost the Pats/Jets game on Thursday and we sit at 16-15 on the season. Flash Flash is 7-3 and Runny is 14-22-1. We have a bunch of picks for you this week and sticking with our NCAA theme we are coming at you with straight picks and hot chicks.

RPJ $ndicate Picks

Denver at Atlanta (-6.5): Denver’s D is terrible and Hotlanta is raising some eyebrows with their play. Who knew Matt Ryan would be this good?!??! We thought he would be a draft bust-nice work on showing us up Ryan. You and your team are rollin’ and could win the South. We are taking the Falcons and giving the points.

Oakland at Miami (-10.5)- Teams are 0-12 when they travel West to East this season and the Raiders are freakin terrible and run by a Vampire.

The Fins play really well at home and look nothing like the ‘07 team. The Raiders are just a mess. We are taking the Fins and giving the points.

Arizona at Seattle (+3): This is our upset special of the week. The Cards are TERRIBLE on the road. They get their asses handed to them everytime they leave lovely Zona. Playing in Seattle is tough. The Cards will have nothing for the ‘Hawks this week. FACTS: ‘Hawks are 3-0 ATS in their last 3 games against the Cards at home. We are taking the ‘Hawks and the points.

Flash Picks

Eagles at Bungles (+9.5): The Bungles just have nothing to offer. The Eagles are desperate for a win to keep any kind of pace in their division. We don’t like the points, but the Eagles should be fine. FACTS: Eagles are 0-7 ATS in their last 7 against the Bungles (I’m going against the numbers). Take the Eagles and give the points.

Baltimore at NY Giants (-7): The Gints are clearly the best team in football right now. The Ravens, although surprising people with how well they have rallied around Flacco, are just not there yet. Going on the road into the Meadowlands is just too much to ask of them to keep this game close. The Ravens will not be able to keep pace with the Gints. I’m taking the Gints and giving the points.

 

Dallas at Washington (+1): I’m road-tripping for this game so I can see the downfall of the Cowboys firsthand. They are terrible and having Romo back means nothing-they were terrible before he was injured. The Boys are 3-6 ATS on the season and the Skins always have their number. It is a joke that the Skins are getting points in this one. I like the Skins to win and cover!

Runny Picks

Texans @ Colts (-8): The Colts are off an impressive win in Pittsburgh last week. One thing is for sure-they know how to rally. That could be the turning point of their season. However, I like this game more for who is not playing for the Texans-Schaub. Sage cannot do it on the road. FACTS: The Colts are 3-1 ATS in their last 4 at home against the Texans. I’m taking the Colts and give the points.

Bears @ Packers (-3.5): Bitter rivalry game and I love it!! The Bears go into another week not sure if Grossman will still be their QB. I don’t think it will matter. The Bears D is good enough to keep this game close, and the Packers D is not very good. Even if Grossman gets the nod, the Bears can keep this game within a field goal. I’m taking the Bears and the points.

Saints @ Chiefs (+5.5): The Saints have a terrible D. The Chiefs are playing better, but just not winning. They had a chance last weke to beat the Chargers at home. If they can keep it close against the Chargers D, they can do the same against the Saints. I love the points. Take them and the Chiefs.

RPJ $yndicate Cleavage Shot of the Day!

Good luck with your picks.

Flash Flash and Runny

Week 12 Free NCAA Football Winning Picks: Throwing the Kitchen Sink of Tits and Ass at These picks!

It has been a long year for us here at RPJ. We are 36-42-2 on the season. Flash Flash is 18-11-3 on the season and Runny is 23-24-1 on the season. Flash has been money but the collective that is known as RPJ has flat out sucked it. We are losing money for you and we are losing money for ourselves. We are seeing signs that we are coming back though and we are excited for this weekend. Our college picks went undefeated on Wednesday and Thursday and we look to carry that momentum into the weekend. We know we blow, you have posted comments and you have sent emails but we have held true to our system and to full disclosure. We are honest and we always will be. Second, we bet every single game we post so we are feeling the pain along with you. One thing is for certain, we remain 100% confident in our models, we have remained disciplined and we will win our money back. We are not going to hit you up with ads this week or extra clicks or links or any of that bullshiznit. We are coming back to our roots with picks and girls. Straight up!

RPJ $yndicate Picks (35-42-2 on the season)

We have been quiet the last two weeks. The games were just not there for us but this week we have a ton of games for you.

Purdue at Iowa (-18) - Last week was Iowa’s season. They beat an undefeated Penn State and they won their 6 th game, which means they are bowl eligible. We have no idea why this line is so high. Last time we checked, Iowa was still a one dimensional team (running) and Purdue is led by a senior QB. Purdue played last week and lost to Michigan State by 14 points on the road. The Spartans are a lot better than Iowa and we see no reason why this spread is so high. We will say it again. Why the hell is this spread 18.5 points. We are no buying the Iowa hype because they beat the #3 team in the country last week. The Big 11 is not good so beating an undefeated Penn State team is not impressive. Here are the ATS numbers:

Purdue

• Boilermakers are 7-1 ATS in their last 8 games after accumulating less than 170 yards passing in their previous game.
• Boilermakers are 10-4 ATS in their last 14 games in November.
• Boilermakers are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games after accumulating less than 275 total yards in their previous game.

Iowa

• Hawkeyes are 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games following a ATS win.
• Hawkeyes are 5-13 ATS in their last 18 games following a S.U. win.
• Hawkeyes are 3-8 ATS vs. a team with a losing record.
• Hawkeyes are 2-6 ATS in their last 8 games in November.
• Hawkeyes are 2-9 ATS in their last 11 games after allowing less than 170 yards passing in their previous game.

Head-to-Head

• Favorite is 4-1 ATS in their last 5 meetings.
• Home team is 4-1 ATS in their last 5 meetings.

This has been the week of opposites. We tweaked our models slightly and it has led to victories. In the past we would have blindly selected Northern Illinois to beat Central Michigan based on what our models say but with our new tweaks we stayed away and successfully bet the Chips. This is the same situation. Our models used to say take Iowa but with our new tweaks we are all over Purdue. This is simply way too many points. We are taking Purdue to cover!

UNC at Maryland (+3) - This comes down to one thing and one thing only. You do not eff with Maryland at home. Maryland is undefeated at home and UNC’s 2 losses were on the road (one to UVA) and they only have one road win and that was their miracle comeback against Miami. North Carolina’s defense has conceded 349.2 yards a game this season, and has allowed 454.6 yards per contest in its last five matchups versus Maryland (6-3, 3-2) - a span in which it lost four in a row from 2001-05 before emerging with a 16-13 home victory on Nov. 3, 2007. Maryland is perfect in its five home games this season, outscoring opponents 153-82. Maryland has defeated all three Top 25 teams it has faced thus far by an average of 12.3 points. The Tar Heels are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 meetings in Maryland and the Tar Heels are 1-7 ATS in their last 8 meetings. The ATS numbers support us as well but they are not needed. Maryland probably wins but will certainly cover!

Notre Dame at Navy (+4) - It pains us to actually bet Notre Dame but when a moneymaking opportunity arises we have to step in. Not gonna get into too much detail here but The Fighting Irish are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 meetings in Navy and the Road team is 12-1 ATS in their last 13 meetings. Charlie Weis is potentiall fighting for his job or at least that is what the media is saying and this is a significant revenge game for Notre Dame. The Irish come ready to play and win by more than 4. Take the Irish to win and cover!

Miss State at Alabama (-22) - Alabama at home against the SEC has produced some interesting results. Alabama 24 and Ole MIss 20. Alabama 17 and Kentucky 14. And this is SEC game number three but we think you can see the trend. Check out these ATS numbers:

• Bulldogs are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 meetings in Alabama.
• Bulldogs are 10-3 ATS in their last 13 meetings.
• Underdog is 5-2 ATS in their last 7 meetings.
• Road team is 6-1 ATS in their last 7 meetings.

Got it. Miss State owns Alabama and we think Bama is one of the most overrated teams in the country. Bama will be looking ahead to Auburn and has been hearing for two weeks how they will face Florida in the SEC title game so they are basically playing for nothing. Mississippi State will take advantage and can keep this game close like they always do.

Check out these scores:

2007 - Miss St. 17/Alabama 12

2006 - Miss St. 24/Alabama 16

2005 - Miss St. 0/Alabama 17

2004 - Miss St. 14/Alabama 30

See the trend. Close games. We think Miss. St. covers in this game!

Georgia at Auburn (+10) - We are not sure why we are coming back to the Georgia well after they disappointed last week at Kentucky. However, we are able to look past the SEC media bias and we 100% understand that Auburn sucks! Yes they suck!!! The ATS numbers:

Georgia

• Bulldogs are 6-0 ATS in their last 6 games after allowing less than 170 yards passing in their previous game.
• Bulldogs are 4-1-1 ATS in their last 6 road games.
• Bulldogs are 7-2 ATS in their last 9 games after allowing more than 200 yards rushing in their previous game.
• Bulldogs are 7-3-1 ATS in their last 11 games following a S.U. win.

Auburn

• Tigers are 17-35-1 ATS in their last 53 games after allowing less than 100 yards rushing in their previous game.
• Tigers are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 home games vs. a team with a winning road record.
• Tigers are 0-4 ATS vs. a team with a winning record.
• Tigers are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games on grass.
• Tigers are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games following a S.U. win.
• Tigers are 0-8 ATS in their last 8 games after accumulating more than 450 total yards in their previous game.
• Tigers are 0-6 ATS in their last 6 conference games.
• Tigers are 0-6 ATS in their last 6 games after accumulating less than 170 yards passing in their previous game.
• Tigers are 0-8 ATS in their last 8 games overall.
• Tigers are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 home games.

As we said, we are going back to the well. We think Georgia wins and covers!

Tulsa at Houston (+4 and Over/Under 80) - We have been enticed, teased and ultimately burned by these games that appear to be 110% guaranteed for the Over. Lets look at the ATS numbers:

Tulsa

• Golden Hurricane are 7-0 ATS in their last 7 games after accumulating more than 280 yards passing in their previous game.
• Golden Hurricane are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 conference games.
• Golden Hurricane are 7-2 ATS in their last 9 games overall.

• Under is 7-2 in Cougars last 9 games following a S.U. win.
• Under is 6-2 in Cougars last 8 games after scoring more than 40 points in their previous game.
• Under is 10-4 in Cougars last 14 games overall.

We think those numbers say it all. We are coming at you with our Conference USA two play. Take Tulsa to win and cover and take the UNDER!

USC (-24) at Stanford - This might be our pick of the year and we apologize in advance if we arenot going to sit here and throw out ATS numbers and detailed reasons for this game. This game is no different than Florida versus Georgia this year. USC circled this game on their schedule and have looked at it for one whole year. We would probably take this line up to 40. Stanford’s RB Gerhart is injured and Stanford is already a one dimensional team. Sorry we said no analysis was needed. USC Effs up Stanford, wins and covers easily!

Runny Pelvis the Fat Picks (23-24-1 on the season)

Indiana at Penn State (-35): This game will not be close. Penn State is still nursing their wounds from Iowa last week. They will take out their revenge on a TERRIBLE IU squad. IU gave-up 50+ points last week at home during their parent’s weekend. If they can’t play for their folks, no way they play well on the road this week. They may not score a point. Take Penn State and give the points.

Minnesota at Wisconsin (-13.5): This is Wsiconsin’s final Big 10 home game. The Golden Gophers have come back to reality. Minnesota will not play well out doors. Wisconsin rolls easy. Take the Badgers and give the points.

Wake Forest at NC State (+3.5): Wake knows they need to finish strong to get a decent Bowl. They cover. Take the Deacons and give the points.

UCONN at Syracuse (+10): It pains me to say it (I’m a HUGE CUSE fan), but the Orange are terrible. Although they play Big East teams decently at home, UConn will not have trouble with them this week. Take the Huskies and give the points.

Texas A&M at Baylor (-8): Baylor is not beating anyone by 8 points. Take A&M and the points.

Toledo at Western Michigan (-15.5): Toledo can score and Western Michigan will be looking ahead to next week. Western wins, but Toledo covers. Take Toledo and the points.

Missouri at Iowa State (+27): The Cyclones play well at home. MIZZOU will be looking shead to next week. The Tigers win, but will not cover. Take the Cyclones and the points.

BYU at Air Force (+5.5): This line is low for a reason. Air Force can score and BYU will be looking ahead to next week. BYU does not travel well. Take Air Force and the points.

South Carolina at Florida (-22.5): The Ol’ Football Coach wants nothing more than to damage the Gators’ run to a national championship. A win in this one will do just that. The Gamecocks have no business being in this game, but the SEC is overrated. The Gators may lose outright. Take the Cocks and the points.

Boise State at Idaho (+36.5): Idaho is terrible and should not cover, but Boise won’t run-up the score. Plus, the Vandals players are probably rejects from Boise State, so they will be playing with chips on their shoulders. Take the Vandals and the points at home.

Oklahoma State at Colorado (+17.5): This game will get ugly in a hurry. The Buffalos just don;t have the horses to score with the Cowboys. Cowboys win by at least 3 TD’s. Take the Cowboys and give the points.

Washington State at Arizona State (-36.5): The Cougars could be the worse team in the NCAA of any division. They can’t cover on the road. Take the Sun Devils and give the points.

Flash Flash for the Cash Picks (18-11-3 on the season)

Northwestern at Michigan (-3.5) - Gonna make this short and sweet. Northwestern has a better run defense, better run offense and they turn the ball over less per game. Michiga is terrible at home against the spread. The ATS numbers:

Northwestern

• Wildcats are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games following a ATS loss.
• Wildcats are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games following a S.U. loss.
• Wildcats are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games after scoring less than 20 points in their previous game.
• Wildcats are 13-3 ATS in their last 16 games following a double-digit loss at home.
• Wildcats are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 road games vs. a team with a losing home record.
• Wildcats are 16-5 ATS in their last 21 games after allowing more than 40 points in their previous game.

Michigan

• Wolverines are 2-7 ATS in their last 9 games on turf.
• Wolverines are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 conference games.
• Wolverines are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games overall.
• Wolverines are 1-6 ATS in their last 7 home games.

Not gonna use rocket science here but Michiga is not good at home and as I pointed out have only covered once and that was against Wisconsin in their miracle comeback. I think Northwestern comes out of here with a win and with a cover at a minimum. Take Northwestern to cover!

Utah State at Lousiana Tech (-14) - I pick the freak show games and I love betting against Utah State. Utah State can not stop the run, La. Tech loves to run and Utah State turns the ball over more. La. Tech is undefeated against the spread at home this year and the streak will continue. La. Tech wins big and covers in this game!

RPJ Betting $yndicate Picks (14-10 on the season)

Game 1

Jags @ Bungles (-7.5): The Jags need a rebound game after their upsetting loss last week to the terrible Browns. Good thing for them they get the Bungles this week. Cincy is terrible. Absolutely the worse team in the league. They have no threats anymore. Their season was done after week one. They are soft. The Jags are the exact opposite. We don’t think the Bungles score a point against this team. FACTS: Bungles are 1-7-2 ATS in their last 10 match-ups with the Jags and 1-4 ATS in their last 5 at home against the Jags. It will be ugly. Take the Jags and give the points.

Game 2

Ravens @ Browns (-2):These teams hate each other and the Ravens delivered a beatdown when these teams met earlier in the season. In that game, Flacco went bonkers and showed he was worthy of a 1st round pick. We think he snuck-up on the league early in the season. The Browns will know what to expect this week. The Browns are playing better and are slowly getting the players back. We like them to rebound here. FACTS: Browns are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 meetings with the Ravens and 4-0 ATS in their last 4 meetings with the Ravens at home. Take the Browns and give the points.

Game 3

Packers @ Titans (-4.5): The Packers roll into Tennessee with a freshly minted QB at their helm to face the undefeated Titans. The Titans put it on the Colts last Monday night. Their D is sick! They are well coached and play the game very, very well. The Packers are good, too, but we think the Titans have too much for them at home. Rodgers has shown that he does not do well against D’s that bring consistent pressure from different spots. FACTS: The Titans are undefeated ATS this year. Take the Titans -4.5.

Flash Flash Picks (5-3 On the Season)

Cowboys at Giants (-9.5) - I had to pull a sneak attack on Runny with this picks. He is a huge Cowboys fan and did not want me to write this game up. This is one of my favorite games of the week. Giants hate the Cowboys and have been talking about this game all week. Giants get the Cowboys at home, minus Romo, minus Felix Jones and the Boys limp in on both sides of the ball. Giants will be looking for the knockout punch to send the Cowboys as far down the standings as they can. Some tasty tidbits…Cowboys are 0-6 ATS in their last 6 vs. NFC East. Cowboys are 2-5-2 ATS in their last 9 meetings. Giants are 7-0 ATS vs. a team with a winning record. Easy money. I am picking the Giants to win and cover!

Runny Picks (13-19-1 On the Season)

Eagles @ Seahawks (+7): The Eagles are finally healthy, and it showed last week in their beatdown of the Falcons. This is a tough road game for them, but I still like them to cover. They are well coached and they will be playing a Seahawks team that is DECIMATED with injuries. I think the Eagles roll here. Take the Eagles and give the points.

Pats @ Colts (-6):These teams hate each other and their are so many side stories to this game. However, it is a different meeting given injuries to key players (i.e. Tom Brady). It is not certain that Reggie Wayne will play, but I don’t think it matters. The Colts need a rebound win immediately. This game is their season. I like them at home, and I don’t trust Matt Cassel in big games. FACTS: Colts are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 meetings against the Pats (all of those games had Brady). Take the Colts and give the points.

RPJ $yndicate Breast shot of the week!

As always, good luck with your picks.

2008 WEEK 8 FREE NFL WINNING PICKS and Tig Ole Bitties!!!

RPJ had a winning week last week and just like in NCAA we are sitting around 500. RPJ $yndicate is 10-10 on the season, Runny Pelvis is 13-15-1 on the season and Flash is 5-3. We could have been 3-0 last week but Seattle backdoored us with less than two minutes to go. Flash is still pissed about it and to try and make him feel better we are going to flash a bunch of nice breasts here to take his mind off of it.

Why not show one more set of round mounds before the picks.

RPJ $yndicate Picks (10-10 On the Season)

Atlanta at Philadelphia (-9): This is a ton of points to give a hot team. No doubt Matt Ryan was worth Atlanta’s 1st round pick. He pulled a great win out of his hat last game against the Bears at home. The Bears have a solid D, too. Very, very impressive. The key to this game, however, will be the effect of the bye on the Eagles. We think it helps them HUGE-maybe more so than any other team in the league. It gives them added rest, and, most importantly, it gets Westbrook back. That cannot be under stated. Reid is a great coach and he will have the Iggles prepared. They will be riding the wave of the Phillies’ win. FACTS: Iggles are 3-1 ATS in their last 4 at home against the Falcons. Take the Iggles -9.

Washington at Detroit (+7.5):This game is pretty easy to figure-the Lions are TERRIBLE. Way worse than the Fins last year. They will get pummeled in this one. Orlovsky is not a NFL QB. Calvin Johnson excluded, they have no threats on offense (averaging less than 100 yards rushing per game). Their D is suspect (they allowing nearly 5 yards per rush on D). The Skins will grind them down and roll to an easy win. FACTS: Skins are 3-1 ATS in their last 4 against the Lions. Take the Skins -7.5.

Giants @ Pittsburgh (-3):Both teams are outstanding and very evenly matched. That is why we love the Dof in this one. Plus, the Steelers are a mess with the Holmes suspension and their injuries. It will be close. Take the Giants +3.

Flash’s Picks (5-3 On the Season): Nothing this Sunday. Check back with us tomorrow for our Monday Night action.

Runny’s Picks (13-15-1)

Cinncy @ Houston (-9), OVER/UNDER 45:If you read our blog, you will know we have no respect for the Bungles. I think they may be the worse franchise in sports history. Absolutely terrible. But, every Dog has its day. I think the Bungles get it done this week. They will probably lose, but they will make it a game. Fitzpatrick is slowly improving and they may finally have a running game with Cedric Benson. On the Texans side of the ball, their D is TERRIBLE. May be worse than the Bungles’. Again, that may not be enough for thge Bungles to win, but it is enough to keep it close. I’m taking the Bungles and the Points. Also, as noted, the Texans have a terrible D. So do the Bungles. It will be high scoring. Weather will not be a factor. Take the OVER 45.

Chargers @ Saints (+3): The Saints are still their enigma selves-at times they are brilliant, while at others they are terrible. One thing for sure is they have absolutely no D. None. Add that to the facts that two of their players tested positive for juice and their best offensive weapon, Reggie Bush, is out. I don’t give the Saints much of a chance. The Chargers have been called out in the press for not being tough. They will rebound this week. look for a HUGE game from LT. Take the Chargers -3.

Chiefs @ Jets (-14): This is a ton of points, but there are clear reasons for this line. The biggest two are that the Chiefs are forced to ride with their 3rd string QB again and they suspended LJ. Colby Smith cannot get it done for this team on the road. Favre will be looking for redemption for his terrible play last week in Oakland. Take the Jets in a blowout.

RPJ Breast Picture of the Week

As always, good luck with your picks.

2008 NFL Week Four: Free Winning Picks and Chicks

Greetings folks. A decent, but not good, Week Three brought us back a little closer to respectability. However, we know we have a ton of work to do to right the ship. Our NFL season records are as follows: RPJ $yndicate is 3-7, Flash is 2-1 and Runny is 5-7. Still pretty bad, but we ain’t stopping!!!!

Well in keeping with tradition, when we blow we show more picks of hot chicks:

Here is what we like this week:

RPJ $yndicate Picks

Cardinals @ Jets (-1): The Cards looked awful last week against a Skins team that we think is pretty overrated. The Jets were just as bad against a hungry Chargers team on Monday night. What will give? The key to his game is the Cards and their road woes. They are terrible on the road. They have studs on offense and a decent D. There is no reason they should be Dogs in this game (or their last). Also, look at these facts: Jets are 11-1 ATS as home favorites vs. opponents that are .600 or better and 12-2 ATS off of Monday Night games. Nuff said. Take the Jets -1.

Falcons @ Panthers (-6.5): Don’t be fooled by the Falcons. Although they are 2-1, their two wins were against terrible teams (Lions and Chiefs). Their sole loss was a beatdown against the Bucs. The Panthers are more like the Bucs than the Lions and Chiefs. They will win, and when they win at home they are 44-8 ATS. Also, never take rookie QBs on the road. Take the Panthers -6.5.

Runny Picks

Chargers @ Raiders (+7.5): This pick pains me because I like Lane Kiffin and I think the Raiders are better than they get credit for being. I just don’t think they have enough this week, despite the fact that the Chargers are traveling off of Monday Night (if you are a reader of our blog, you’ll understand the reference and stat). Facts: Raiders are 1-9 ATS in their last 10 and 0-6 ATS in their last 6 at home against the Chargers. This is a lot of points, but Rivers is the best QB in the league right now. Take the Chargers -7.5.

49ers @ Saints (-4): The Niners are off of a dominating win last week at home. They are young and their D seems to be on the right track. However, I am not sold on J.T. O’Sullivan. Plus, they re going on the road against a Saints team that can do some damage on offense. Facts: Niners are 2-9 ATS in their last 11 against the Saints and under Nolan, the Niners are 2-13 SU and 4-11 ATS away against non-division teams. I love the Saints in this. Take the Saints -4.

Bills @ Rams (+8): The Rams are lost and Linehan has lost this team. Players are openly stating that they don’t want to play for him and Trent Green is getting the start this week. Terrible. The Bills are loaded and are playing well. Facts: Rams are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 against the Bills and 0-12 SU and 2-10 ATS against inning teams under Linehan. This will be bloody. Take the Bills -8.

Flash Flash Picks

I should be 3-0 and I am not bitter about it or anything. I love the backdoor but I hate backdoor covers.

Only one pick for me this week and that is Redskins (+11) at Dallas. This is too many points and I live the ATS numbers.

Redskins are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games following a S.U. win.
Redskins are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games following a ATS win.
Redskins are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games overall.
Redskins are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 vs. NFC.
Redskins are 21-8-1 ATS vs. a team with a winning record.
Cowboys are 2-6 ATS in their last 8 games overall.
Cowboys are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 home games vs. a team with a winning road record.
Cowboys are 1-6 ATS in their last 7 vs. NFC.
Cowboys are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 vs. NFC East.

Head-to-Head
Redskins are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 meetings.
Underdog is 17-4 ATS in their last 21 meetings.

I do not think the Skins will win but I think they are playing better and can keep this within ten points. Take the Skins with the points!

As always, good luck with your picks.

2008 Week 1: Weekend NCAA Football Picks: WE ARE BACK WITH A VENGEANCE!!!

We are back with our picks for the rest of the weekend and are more excited than ever. All of our picks for this weekend are one unit bets. We do not like to get ahead of ourselves to start the season. The key to any successful gambling venture is bankroll protection. We do not see a Miss St./LSU scenario or USC/Arkansas like we did the last three years. The odds makers are tightening up the ship and we will wait patiently for them to mess up and for our models to identify blatant money making opportunities. Stay patient, manage your bankroll smartly and get ready to pounce when we tell you to.

As any of our readers know, typically we only post picks that we (Flash and Runny) absolutely agree on 100%. No exceptions. Even when we have guest appearences from our degenerates, like Maury the Wig, who posts picks, we must agree with those picks to post. We haggle with each other over nearly every game to get to the games we feel are our locks. We do this because we firmly believe that competion and street fighting leads to the best results. So, when we make an RPJ pick you can rest assured that it is a pick that has been discussed, and dicussed and discussed until we are both bloody.

That said, we are adding a new wrinkle to our game. This year, in addition to the RPJ picks we will post, we will also show you other picks that each of us feel are locks, but did not survive the Flash-Runny battle royale. Our reason for doing this is the same….competion breeds excellence. We are only about winning. Winning big and decimating our competitors (i.e. Vegas) Ragnar Lodbrok-style. We fight so much for our picks that we even want to beat each other!!

On with the picks…..

WEEK 1 PICKS continued

Saturday, August 30, 2008

RPJ PICKS

USC at Virginia (+19.5) - Virginia is a mess. This is not the same team as last year. The QB is gone from the team and their best defensive player is playing on Sundays. For UVA, Last year was the year of the right bounces and winning every close game. This year is not going to be fun for Virginia as Clemson and Wake are solid and Miami, UNC and FSU are all better. USC did not impress in their opener last year against Idaho and the Trojans tend to start the season slowly. Also, Sanchez was injured during the first week of camp and is just back to practice.

However, this week, Sanchez looks great and we believe USC has the best defense in the country. Take into consideration that USC is the only prgram in D-1 that practices its starting offense against its starting defense. This means USC will be ready to pound UVA on both sides of the ball. The best defense USC’s offense will see all year is its own. Only way to really highlight USC’s defense is to showcase one of their leaders…Rey Maualuga. Rey might actually kill somebody on the field this year by hitting them into the third sphere of hell.

and of course you can not ignore Taylor Mays….

These boys can lay some lumber. Some ATS stats:

Trojans are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games on grass.
Trojans are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games overall.
Trojans are 20-7 ATS in their last 27 non-conference games.

Cavaliers are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games in August.
Cavaliers are 2-7 ATS in their last 9 non-conference games.

We do not think UVA’s August record will matter and see USC absolutely pounding the run all day. USC wins big and probably by at least 4 TDs because the Cavs will not be able to score. Remember the USC/Arkansas scores.

Alabama at (neutral site) Clemson (-4.5) - This is probably the most interesting game of the first weekend. All of the pressure is on Clemson. They are picked by the “experts” to win the ACC, to play in a BCS bowl game and are favored to win this game. If this game were in Death Valley it would be a different story but it is not. The Tide and Saban are coming off a disappointing 7-6 season and are looking to make a statement early. We all know Saban will turn this team around, just give him 2 more recruiting classes as good as his class this past year and SEC foes should look out. Tommy Bowden is a big choke artist and will be fired if he does not meet and/or exceed the lofty pre-season expectations. Does this look like a coach that can lead your team to the promised land?

We do not trust him to wipe his own ass and his roids are clearly flaring up in this pic.

Alabama has beaten Clemson 11 straight times, but the last meeting was in 1975. Saban is the better coach and will have a month to prepare for Clemson and that will be a huge advantage. The ATS numbers are bad for both teams:

Crimson Tide are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 non-conference games.
Crimson Tide are 2-9 ATS in their last 11 games overall.

Tigers are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 non-conference games.
Tigers are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 vs. SEC.

The ATS point that sticks out the most is Clemson versus the SEC. Coaching and location, two underrated handicapping points, will dictate this game. Alabama (+4.5) will cover and do not be surprised if they pull the upset.

Sunday, August 31, 2008

RPJ PICK

Colorado at (neutral site) Colorado State (+11) - We already pointed out in our Vegas preview piece that the Big 12 has the most elite talent at QB in the country and Colorado is part of that picture. QB Cody Hawkins looks good running the new spread offense at Colorado and he was challenged by his backups in camp. The competition has been healthy and will only make Cody better. He is a scrapper and the Buffs were scrappy last year. They beat Oklahoma and Texas Tech so they have the confidence that they can beat anybody anywhere. Always remember one thing….the reason you have heard of Boise State is because of Colorado’s coach, Dan Hawkins. Hawkins put Boise State on the map and then was hired away to restore Colorado’s program. This team is young and is starting to get the talent needed to compete with every team in the Big 12. A little birdy told us that when Hawkins showed up in 2006 he did not think the team possessed one legit D-1 athlete. Taking that into consideration we think he has done a great job. The Buffs went 2-10 in 2006 and 6-7 in 2007. We think they will improve and end the year with a winning record. We have one reason to shit on Colorado State and it comes from this press conference. Please click here to laugh at these tools.

Here is the injured star of Colorado State….

Any D-1 coach that opens a press conference during game week and talks about his kicker is an idiot. It is clear this clown has never coached D-1 before. Colorado is going to drop huge Buffalo turds all over this team. Plus, Colorado has probably the best freshman running back in the country in Darrell Scott. This kid can straight bowl over defenses. He will be an immediate starter. He probably get 150 yards in his debut.

Well these ATS numbers are a mess:

Buffaloes are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games overall.
Buffaloes are 4-10 ATS in their last 14 vs. MWC.
Buffaloes are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games on grass.

Rams are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games on grass.
Rams are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games overall.

Road team is 4-1 ATS in their last 5 meetings.
Underdog is 10-2 ATS in their last 12 meetings.

The Buffalos are legit this year. No way Colorado State keeps it close, even in a rivalry game. Team Hawkins is too damn good. Take the Buffs (-11) to the bank!!!

RPJ Pick

Tennessee at UCLA (+7.5) - Last year Tennessee traveled to play Cal and was thrashed. Of course that Tennessee team was good enough to play in the SEC championship game. What a freakin joke. The team that plays in the SEC championship can not even beat a team in the bottom half of the Pac-10. Where was the media to talk about that one? This year The Vols travel to play a UCLA team that is nowhere close to Cal’s talent level from last year. UCLA has a new coach, a new offense and injuries to their 1st and 2nd string QBs. Their new coach is also trying to make himself a public figure with ridiculous ads in the local LA papers. He needs to focus on recruiting and boosting the talent on his roster. Go bet on some more March Madness pools Rick.

Is UCLA serious with that crap?!?!?! Worse ad ever. The USC band has more 5 star recruits than UCLA has had in the past 10 years combined. Tennessee is the superior team top to bottom and this game does not really need any detail. The line should be in the double digits and we are jumping on it under 10. The ATS numbers:

Volunteers are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 non-conference games.
Volunteers are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games on grass.
Volunteers are 5-1-1 ATS in their last 7 games overall.
Volunteers are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games in September.

Bruins are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games on grass.
Bruins are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games overall.
Bruins are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 vs. SEC.
Bruins are 20-7 ATS in their last 27 home games.
Bruins are 19-7-1 ATS in their last 27 games in September.

Don’t buy UCLA’s ATS numbers. UCLA is not good and simply does not have the talent to match up with Tennessee. The Vols win this one by more than 10 and if they do not then the SEC is SOFT as hell this year.

We are introducing a new feature this year. Flash Flash and Runny work well together because we only pick games where every single one of our bet criteria are met. This is why we might only focus on 3-8 games each week. It simply means our models do not mesh up. This year we are going to publish our individual picks outside of RPJ Syndicate’s picks. We are not going to give you detailed reasons for our explanations but we are going to track our individual metrics outside of The Syndicate so you can see more picks.

Flash Flash Picks

Illinois (+8.5) at (neutral site but not really) Missouri - One of the best QBs in the nation, Daniel, playing at their home away from home in the Loo. Love Maclin too. Illinois will not be as good as last year minus Mendenhall. Missouri easily wins by more than 10.

Oklahoma St. at Washington St. (+7.5) - Both teams will score but Washington State’s defense is more inept that Oklahoma State’s is and that will be enough for the Cowboys to win by more than 10. Loving Ok. St. in this one.

RUNNY Picks

Bowling Green at Pitt (-13) - Some analysts have picked Bowling Green to win the MAC. They averaged 30.2 points and 402.5 yeards per game last year. Plus, they return their leading QB. However, I just don’t see them competing in the up-and-coming MAC. The architect behind thier offense, O-Coordinator Mick McCall, left to take the same position at Northwestern. Also, their o-line has three new starters. Pitt’s D will eat this up. Pitt has one of the best front 7 in NCAA. Also, Pitt’s D was ranked #5 in total D last year and they return 6 starters. Their D is extrememly deep. Throw in LeSean McCoy and this will be a beatdown. McCoy may drop 200 on them. Take Pitt (-13) all the way to the bank!!!!

Utah (+3.5) @ Michigan - Rich Rodriguez’s Ann Arbor and much anticipated Michigan blue. No doubt he is a phenomenal coach and can get as much out of his players as anyone. I’m a huge fan. However, he can only do so much in so little time. He is implementing his spread offense in a team that just does not have the personnel yet. Rodriguez knows this, and I’m sure he will do the best he can with what he has. Michigan does have a stacked D and return 8 starters, including everyone on their line. They will definitely be the positive in this game for the maize and blue. However, they will be going against a team that runs the spread offense, too. A team that has been doing it much longer and has many more suitable players. QB Brian Johnson is back and finally healthy. This kid has serious wheels and can sling it. To back him up, Sophmore Corbin Louks can come in for a spell much like Tebow did his freshman year. They return their starting RB and a JuCo transfer in Matt Asiata who can run all day. They can guide this offense against Michigan’s D enough to keep this close. It will be the Utes D that stiffles Michigan’s new offense enough to keep it close. Don’t be surprised if the Utes go into Ann Arbor and silence the world’s quietest 100,000+ fans. Take the Utes +3.5. Don’t forget….Ann Arbor is a whore!!!

Enjoy the picks!!!

2008 Week 1: The First NCAA Football Pick of the Season!!! Wake at Baylor

RPJ Syndicate = 0-0 on the NCAA season. Man it feels good to put these numbers out again.

Welcome back for another great year of NCAA football. We can not wait for this season and know this will be our most lucrative yet. First things first, we do not hold anything back and we are here to make ourselves and you money…cold hard cash!!!! We post our picks with the lines we bet them. Our money is on every game we pick so we will feel the pain and share the gain; with lots more gain on tap for this year. Our models have been tweaked and we have spread our network of undercover informants so get ready for the best free pick evaluation you have ever seen. Pay close attention to the lines we bet because a half point spread difference matters to us. If you followed us last year you made money…plain and simple!!!

This forum is as much for you as it is for us. If you want us to pick a game for you let us know. If you want to ask us any questions, feel free to post on this blog or email us at rpjsyndicate@gmail.com. We are here to make as much money as is humanly possible this season and we want your feedback. Also, thanks for the positive feedback to our email address. It is nice to know when you do well too. If you want to call us a bunch of stupid idiots that is your right too. We do not edit our blog and will debate you to death and probably call you names because we are both short tempered.

Last note of business before the picks, Runny wants this to be a hardcore betting pick blog only and Flash Flash wants to display our picks with hot chicks. We were the originators of chicks and picks that other sports personalities, not naming names FARRELL, ripped off. No Runny is not gay but it makes you wonder doesn’t it.

WEEK 1 PICK

Thursday, August 28, 2008

Wake Forest at Baylor (+12) - This game is not going to be close. Wake returns 9 starters from a solid and stout defense and returns a decent QB and RB in Skinner and Adams. Baylor is bad and has been practicing poorly leading up to this game. Baylor has been turning over the ball left and right in practice and Wake will be all over any mistakes. Also, why in the hell would anybody go play for Baylor, root for Baylor or bet on Baylor when they put their coaches picture on the cover of the media guide. What a crock. How about supporting your student athletes!!!!

We think this has the making of an ugly game and are confident that Wake can easily win by 14 points or more. We do not see any “coaches” on this media guide.

Based on this we might bet against Baylor every game this year. Ha ha.

Some against the spread (ATS) numbers:

Demon Deacons are 7-1 ATS in their last 8 games overall.
Demon Deacons are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 non-conference games.

Baylor Bears are 2-6 ATS in their last 8 home games.
Baylor Bears are 4-13 ATS in their last 17 games overall.

Take Wake and start off the week on a winning note. Jim Grobe is a great coach and will have his team ready to play. Anything up to 14 points and we are all over this game. THIS IS A 1 BETTING UNIT GAME FOR US

Let the games begin Biatches!!!

WEEK 7 NFL PICKS: WE ARE BETTER THAN NOTRE DAME

Flash and I just got back from South Bend to watch the SC_ND game. We don’t think we have ever seen a worse NCAA team. Ever. ND is sooooooooooo very bad. The score should have been worse than 38-0. They are that bad. But, we digress….

 On the the issue at hand-WEEK 7 of the NFL!!! We are off to a so-so start. 13-9-2 on the season. Not bad, but not up to our standards. That said, let the games begin!! Here are our locks for this week:

Falcons @ Saints -8: Saints seemed to have righted the ship last week. Falcons are terrible. This is a lot of points, but Atlanta is just very bad. Take the Saints -8.

Bears +5.5 @ Eagles: The Bears are playing better. The Eagles are not as good has everyone thinks. Take the points. The Bears will win outright. Take the Bears +5.5.

Ravens @ Bills +3: Ravens beat up on the Rams last week and the Bills are off the bye and the heartbreaker against Dallas. The Bills are much better than people give them credit for and the Ravens are not as good as people think. We love the Bills are home. Take the Bills +3.

Steelers -3.5 @ Broncos: Intriguing game. Normally we would like the home dog in this game. Especially given that Shannahan is an animal after the bye. However, we think the Burgh is legit and Denver is just not that good. Close game, but they will cover. Take the Steelers -3.5.

 That’s it. Good luck with your picks.
