NFL Championship Game Playoff Predictions: Jets vs. Colts and Vikings vs. Saints. It is Go Time!!

We locked in another 2-2 weekend last week. This time we won both AFC games and lost both NFC games. We are now 4-4 during the playoffs with 3 games left to make some serious coin. We totally blew the Cowboys/Vikings game and to quote Bill Simmons, we wish we cold have bet the Saints/Cards game after two Kurt Warner series. The Cards were just off big time and were done in the 1st quarter. We are looking to hit both games this weekend and in honor of one of our fan requests, we are dedicating this post to wet t-shirts. One interesting tidbit to remember when you bet this weekend…Dome teams are 4-1 all-time in conference championship games played on their home turf. The Vikings were the only casualty of that scenario when they lost to Atlanta, 30-27, as 10.5-point favorites in 1998. Be careful picking both underdogs.

AFC Championship Game: NY Jets at Indianapolis Colts (-8) - First and foremost, this line is brutal. 7.5 - 8 points seems like the perfect line. We think the Colts will win but we love the value we can get with 8 points by taking the Jets and we do think the Jets have a chance to pull the major upset based on some of the finer points we list below. Betting is all about value so we really want you to understand this game before placing any bets. We are just going to throw out a bunch of points that we think matter.

- Indy is 6-2 ATS in their last eight games. The two losses were the two they tanked to end the season.

- Bettors who played the Colts haven’t seen much of a payout in Indy’s last 10 games against the Jets, going 3-6-1 ATS.

- Not sure the value in this stat but Peyton Manning is 7-5 lifetime against the Jets and has thrown 13 TDs with 13 INTs in the 12 games.

- In their first matchup, The Jets covered as 4-point road ‘dogs and the Total went Over 41.

- In their last nine home games in January, the Colts have been a solid 6-3 ATS.

- The Jets have been road warriors in their last 10 away from the Big Apple as they are 7-3 ATS and are currently on a five-game ATS win streak in that situation.

- In the green and white’s last eight games overall, they are a red-hot 7-1 ATS, including going 2-0 ATS so far in the playoffs this year.

- In the Jets’ last eight games when listed as underdogs of 8-points or less, they are 7-1 ATS.

- The Jets are 7-0 when Revis has a pick this year.

- The Jets defense was league best in the following categories this season: gave up 236 points, QBs completed 51.7% of their passes against the Jets, gave up 153.7 yards passing per game, game up 8 passing TDs all season and opposing QBs had a QB rating of 58.8 against the Jets. All we can say is WOW!

- The Colts offensive had the following highlights on the season: Threw the second most passes, had the most completions, threw for the second most passing yards with 282.2 yards per game, led the league in passing TDs, completed 66.9% of their passes and had a QB rating of 95.4.

- This line looks like a bit of a trap. The line opened at Colts -7.5 and is bouncing between -7.5 and -8. 61% of the money is on the Colts and we think with that type of action we would see this line trend upwards and it has not. Only 5Dimes has wild line swings right now and if you pick the right time you can get this line as low as -5.5 and as high as -9.5.

We love this line at Colts -8 for Jets bettors and would recommend taking the Colts at anything below 7 points. We typically try and bet underdogs to cover when we think they can win outright. We think the Jets have a slight chance of doing this, not as much as we usually like but we think 8 points provides too much value for a Championship game. With this being said, We are taking the Jets to cover!!! One last note to throw out there to make you more confident in our pick, the Colts are 0-5 straight up playing against the 3-4 Defense in their last 5 games. Take that to the bank!!!

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

NFC Championship Game: Minnesota Vikings at New Orleans Saints (-3.5) - This might be a large mistake but we are not impressed with this Vikings team and we think they have some key injuries. Furthermore, the win against Dallas was not impressive at all. The Cowboys quit as soon as Suisham missed the 2nd FG (which was early). The Boys O is nowhere near as good as the Saints and the Boys were cutting them up until Romo became Romo and fumbled the ball 4 times in the 1st half. Brees will absolutely not make that mistake and he is locked in with 3 legit receivers and Shockey. The Vikes secondary is overrated and Winfield is 5′-10″. The Boys matched Roy Williams (6′4″) up against him and didn’t throw to him once. Brees will pick that match-up apart. Brees will 3 step drop and throw all game and the Vikes D line will get frustrated by not being able to get him. That was the formula the Panthers, Bears and Cards all used against the Vikes and it worked like a charm. The Boys are dumb because they watched no tape on it and Romo held the ball too long. Brees will eat that up. He is smart because he will take a 3 and out over forcing the ball any day of the week. Romo hasn’t figured that out yet. We think Reggie Bush will continue to be a force. Remember, Reggie is playing for a contract so it was not surprising to us to watch him run physically for the first time in his career. Coach Payton is not a moron like Jason Garrett and will definitely mix things up. The Super Dome will be insane and this stadium is special and getting more and more vibrant and relevant as a home field advantage as the playoffs move forward. The Vikes are clearly not as good on the road. Favre is due for a typical Favre 3 pick game. The Saints win over the Cards was way more impressive to me than the Vikes win over the Boys. The Saints dominated one of the best postseason QB’s in the league’s history and they made Fitzgerald a non-factor. I think the Saints will get up early and Favre will just start slinging the ball around. Peterson will be a non-factor and he hasn’t been good at all down the stretch. Plus, he fumbles like crazy. He had none against the Boys so we think he is due. So we bet you can sense where we are going with the smorgasbord of anti Vikings propaganda. If you thought this, you thought correct. We are betting the Saints to win and cover!

Minnesota Vikings

• Vikings are 5-1-1 ATS in their last 7 games on fieldturf.
• Vikings are 4-1 ATS vs. a team with a winning record.
• Vikings are 7-3-1 ATS in their last 11 vs. NFC.

• Vikings are 7-15 ATS in their last 22 road games vs. a team with a winning home record.
• Vikings are 5-14-1 ATS in their last 20 games after allowing less than 15 points in their previous game.

• Vikings are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 road games.
• Vikings are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 playoff games as an underdog.

Week 17 Winning NFL Picks: The End of the Road!

RPJ Betting $yndicate - We threw in a loser last week and were 4-5 on the weekend. Our record now stands at 56-48-1. Nothing to get too excited about but it is a winning record. We are not going to pick games for Week 17. Who knows what kind of effort and players you will get this week. Better to avoid it and recoup for the playoffs next week.

Underdog Strategy - Not much going on here last week. This strategy was 8-7-1 and now stands at 125-110-4 on the season. For not using your brain, this is a pretty decent strategy. Underdog is in bold:

Indy +8 at Buffalo

Saints +7 at Panthers

Jags +1.5 at Browns

Bears at Lions +3

Pats +7 at Texans

Steelers at Dolphins +3

Giants +9 at Vikes

49ers at Rams +8

Falcons at Bucs +1.5

Packers +3 at Cards

Chiefs +10 at Broncos

Ravens at Raiders +10.5

Skins +3 at Chargers

Titans at Seahawks +6

Eagles +3 at Cowboys

Bengals +9.5 at Jets

Knockout Pool Strategy - We were back on the winning side last week with the Cards with our second chance pick. Not sure how our league is going to handle the multiple teams that are still left but the Commish will hand out the verdict later in the week. We have our last regular season pick of the season.

Week 1: New Orleans Saints

Week 2: Washington Redskins

Week 3: Baltimore Ravens

Week 4: Chicago Bears

Week 5: Philadelphia Eagles

Week 6: Pittsburgh Steelers

Week 7: New England Patriots

FREE NBA PICKS FOR DECEMBER 29, 2009

Greetings. We were very bad last night-our first losing night in quite some time- with a terrible 3-4 record. We did nail our Lock, but our overall season ATS record now stands at 109-92-5. For Locks, we are 4-2-1. On with tonight’s picks:

 

LOCKS:

Knicks @ Pistons -4.5: Only one Lock tonight and this is it. The Pistons are finally getting their stars healthy, but they are in a terrible funk. It will take some time for them to get back to the standards they are used to. That said, we love them tonight. Consider that the home team in this match-up is 17-8 ATS in their last 25 meetings. We love the healthy Pistons. Take the Pistons and give the points.

PICKS

Thunder @ Wizards +1: For the first time this season the Thunder have won 3 straight games. They go for their 4th tonight and we love their chances. They are hot right now and Kevin Durant is playing as well as anyone. Take the Thunder and give the point.

 

Cavs @ Hawks -2: We love that the Hawks are favored in this. We think they are a much better team. They play well together and they can run with anyone. They have too many weapons. Look for a terrible game from Shaq tonight. Take the Hawks and give the points.

 

Pacers @ Bulls -7: This line is pretty comical given how bad the Bulls are and their coaching woes. Still, they should rally around their coach and play with some intensity at home, but don’t be surprised if the pacers win outright. This is too many points to pass up. Take the Pacers and the points. 

 

Timberwolves @ Spurs -11: The T’Wolves are on a decent spell as of late while the Spurs have been consistently inconsistent. On paper the Spurs dominate this match-up, but the Spurs are only 2-12 ATS in their last 14 against the NBA Northwest and they are very bad as double digit favorites. Take the T’Wolves and the points.

 

Hornets @ Rockets -6: We are very curious as to how the Rockets are going to respond to the TMac drama. The Hornets are iffy at best, but we love the points. Plus, the Hornets are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games in Houston. We like CP3 in this one. He will get them the cover. Take the Hornets and the points.

 

Warriors @ Lakers -11.5: The Lakers seem to be in one of their ruts, but they are at home facing a Warriors team that is still injured and just not as good. This is the perfect rebound game for the Lakers. Even without Artest, the Lakers should dominate this game. Take the Lakers and give the points.

 

Seven more games. Good luck.

FREE NBA PICKS FOR DECEMBER 28, 2009

Greetings. We are closing the 2009 portion of the season in winning style. Our season ATS record stands at 106-88-5. Of that, our locks are 3-2-1. We know it is not where we need to be, but we are winning each night. 7 Games on the docket tonight. This is what we like:

 

LOCKS

Thunder @ Nets +6: The Nets are making a habit of getting blown out this year. Of their 28 losses, only 9 have been by fewer than 10 points. They are a joke of a team right now. The Thunder will win their third straight. Take the Thunder and give the points.

 

PICKS

Bucks @ Bobcats -4.5: Bobcats are a completely different team at home (24-11 ATS in their last 35 home games) and they love Monday night games (9-2 ATS in their last 11). However, we still aren’t buying that they are a good team. Brandon Jennings has come down to reality as of late, but we like them to cover. They match-up well with the Bobcats. Take the Bucks and the points.

 

Wizards @ Grizzlies -5.5: We love the Wizards’ D in this game. We think they match-up well against the Grizzlies. Don’t be surprised in Washington wins outright. Take the Wizards and the points.

 

Lakers @ Suns +1: The Lakers have dominated this match-up as of late and look to build some momentum after their overtime win against the Kings. The Lakers are exactly what the Suns hate-a large and athletic team that plays well together. That is the recipe for beating the Suns. The Suns are off one of their worse performances of the season last time out. Even without Artest, the Lakers will still get the best of them. Take the Lakers and give the point.

Nuggets @ Kings +2: The Nuggets have been terrible since Chauncey Billups injured his groin. However, the Kings will probably be without Tyreke Evans and Sean May tonight. Those are bigger losses. Take the Nuggets and give the points.

 

76ers @ Trail Blazers -6: The 76ers have dominated this match-up as of late and they should get Iverson back tonight. The Blazers have been hot-covering in their last 4 games. We don’t think it will be 5 straight tonight. Take the 76ers and the points.

Celtics @ Warriors +6: The Celtics are one of the best road teams in the league, but they have not done well when visiting the Warriors. Still, they play outstanding D. The Warriors are hot off their pounding of a Suns team that played no D whatsoever. Tonight will be different. They will get all the D they can handle tonight. Take the Celtics and give the points.

 

Road team sweep for us tonight. That hasn’t happened before, but we are sticking with our system.

 

Good Luck,

 

Runny & Flash

2009-2010 Winning Bowl Picks: We pick winners for the rest of the bowl season!

We are sitting here a pissed off 3-7 in this very short bowl season. There are still 24 games to go and we are extremely ticked off. This is a big time repeat of last year when we sucked it in the early games and then scrappy Jonesed it for the rest of the season barely making a living. Our analysis is no longer worth writing and we are going to break down the remaining games in one of three ways:

1) RPJ special sauce - These are our magic special sauce picks. Our secret bread and butter. The way we pick these are proprietary and we do not share how we pick them. You won’t give a damn anyways because our bowl picks have been terrible. Your best bet is to pick against us. These picks are now 2-4 on the season.

2) Statistical picks - We base these picks purely on math. When one team is statistically better in every single category we track, we pick that team to win the game. So far this type of pick is 0-1 on the season with Nevada blow it for us.

3) The Defense running pick - This is when we pick the underdog to cover when that underdog gives up less than 100 yards rushing on defense and the favorite does not. These picks win outright 70% of the time on a historical basis. On the season these picks are 1-1, with Central Florida losing and UNC covering.

We will probably come at you with some detailed analysis on some of the bigger games but for now we will show you our picks and the lines we took them. On with the Picks…..

Week 16 NFL Winning Picks: Playoff Implications All Around with lucky #7!

Crazy week in NFL. RPJ was a winner, the underdog strategy was a winner but we are sad to say we were knocked out of the winner’s bracket of our knockout pool. We now get lumped into the second chance grouping but will not win major coinage. Very sad. Crazy lines this week. Most of them seem to be 7 points or 14 points and there are a ton of 7-7 teams competing for a playoff spot. Hopefully 7 is our lucky number this week!

RPJ Betting $yndicate Picks - We have been hot lately and we credit the list format. The more analysis we give you the more we lose so now we are relegated to simply telling you what we are going to bet. Two weeks ago we were 8-4 and this past week we were 4-3-1. On the season, RPJ is now 52-43-1. So here is the list of the week:

Buffalo at Atlanta (-9) - We are betting the Falcons to win and cover!

Kansas City at Cincinnati (-14) - We are betting the Bengals to win and cover!

Seattle at Green Bay (-14) - We are betting Green Bay to win and cover!

Houston at Miami (-3) - We are betting Miami to win and cover!

Carolina at NY Giants (-7) - We are betting the Giants to win and cover!

NY Jets at Indianapolis (-5.5) - We are betting the NY Jets to pull the cover!

Denver at Philadelphia (-7) - We are betting Philly to win and cover!

Dallas at Washington (+7) - We are betting Dallas to win and cover!

Minnesota at Chicago (+7) - We are betting the Vikings to win and cover!

The Underdog Strategy - Every time we feel like writing this strategy off, it goes nuts on us. Last week, underdogs were 11-4-1 in the NFL. That is a serious payday. On the season, this strategy is now 117-103-3. It seems to us that when the favorites go on a big run, the following week is a HUGE opportunity to bet the underdogs. Vegas tends to get carried away with their lines. We think this has validity. Underdogs in bold

San Diego (+3) at Tennessee

Buffalo (+9) at Atlanta

Kansas City (+14) at Cincinnati

Oakland (+3) at Cleveland

Seattle (+14) at Green Bay

Houston (+3) at Miami

Carolina (+7) at NY Giants

Jacksonville (+8) at New England

Tampa Bay (+14) at New Orleans

Baltimore (+3) at Pittsburgh

St. Louis (+14) at Arizona

Detroit (+12) at San Francisco

NY Jets at (+5.5) Indiananpolis

Denver (+7) at Philadelphia

Dallas at Washington (+7)

Minnesota at Chicago (+7)

Knockout Pool Strategy - It was a very sad day in RPJ Land last week. Effing Raiders dashed our HUGE payout in the knockout pool. Effing Raiders and their last minute come from behind win against the freakin Denver Broncos, 14 point favorite Denver Broncos, with Jamarcus, 10th string, Russell engineering the come from behind win. Yes we are bitter. Our knockout pool has a second bracket for the losers to keep playing but the payout sucks because it is chopped between all remaining losers when the winner’s bracket ends. Probably end up with $50 even if we win and that blows. So based on this we are still picking.

Week 1: New Orleans Saints

Week 2: Washington Redskins

Week 3: Baltimore Ravens

Week 4: Chicago Bears

Week 5: Philadelphia Eagles

Week 6: Pittsburgh Steelers

Week 7: New England Patriots

Week 8: San Diego Chargers

Week 9: Seattle Seahawks

Week 10: Minnesota Vikings

Week 11: Jacksonville Jaguars

Week 12: Cincinnati Bengals

Week 13: Indianapolis Colts

Week 14: Tennessee Titans

Week 15: Denver Broncos (losing pick)

Week 16: Arizona Cardinals

Poinsettia Bowl: Utah versus Cal (-3.5): The Curse of the Tedford Turd Sandwich

“Since there are so many bowl games we will probably have posts out and not know our overall results. Case in point, this will be published before the BYU/OSU game.” We clearly wrote that last night and out of pure disgust we were not physically able to post anything. This brings back memories of the last two years when we sucked it so bad in bowls we lost all of the money we had built up during the season. We are now 0-4, have not even picked one winner and now we face the Jeff Tedford Turd Sandwich. There is no God!!!

December 23, 2009

Poinsettia Bowl: Utah Utes verus California Golden Bears (-3.5) - Loyal readers of this website know that Jeff Tedford is the bane of our existence and we always refer to him as a turd sandwich. When we bet on Cal they get destroyed and when we bet against Cal they win some game outright that they should not have any business doing so. This is the curse of the Jeff Tedford Turd Sandwich and we are using this game to try and break the spell. Cal was destroyed in their last game against Washington and now they play a Utah team that has one of the longest bowl winning streaks in the nation. Do you really think Cal wants to play in this game and play without Jahvid Best. These teams are very similar on paper. Utah holds the edge in having the better offensive line (only given up 17 sacks versus 27 for Cal) and is about 7% more efficient on defense in allowing third downs. Then you throw in the fact that Utah will play up for this game and Cal will play sideways probably or who the hell really knows what they will do. In our minds, Kyle Whittingham is 1,000 times the coach Turd Sandwich is. Utah also has won 8 bowl games in a row. Tops in the nation. We are Betting Utah to cover in this game!!!

Utah

• Utes are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 bowl games.
• Utes are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games as an underdog of 0.5-3.0.
• Utes are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 Bowl games.
• Utes are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games in December.
• Utes are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 neutral site games.
• Utes are 26-7-1 ATS in their last 34 games as an underdog.
• Utes are 10-3-1 ATS in their last 14 games after allowing less than 170 yards passing in their previous game.
• Utes are 3-1-1 ATS in their last 5 games after accumulating less than 100 yards rushing in their previous game.
• Utes are 26-12-1 ATS in their last 39 non-conference games.
• Utes are 17-8-1 ATS in their last 26 games after allowing less than 275 total yards in their previous game.
• Utes are 29-14-1 ATS in their last 44 games following a ATS win.
• Utes are 1-4 ATS vs. a team with a winning record.
• Utes are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 vs. Pac-10.

Week 15 NFL Winning Picks: We will make you more money than Tiger Woods paid his Mistresses!!! And that is a lot!

RPJ Betting $yndicate - We predicted the exact truth once again, we lost our first game of the week. Jags almost had it but did not come through in the end. Kudos to Peyton & Co. We are now 48-40 on the season. We have a ton of games for you once again. Last week we simply listed them out and went 8-4 so we are not going to mess with what works.

Oakland Raiders at Denver Broncos (-14) - We like the Broncos to win and cover

Cincinnati Bengals at San Diego Chargers (-7) - We like the Bengals to cover

Underdog Strategy - Underdog strategy was 7-9 last week and is now 106-99-2 on the season. Team in bold is the underdog.

Minnesota Vikings at Carolina Panthers (+9)

NY Giants at Washington Redskins (+3)

Knockout Pool Strategy - Our knockout pool is down to 11 people and we have a bad feeling all 11 are going to take our pick this week. For us, it is a huge no brainer to bet on the Denver Broncos to beat the bag out of the Raiders at home. We would not be surprised if this game was over in the first 5 minutes.

Greetings folks. We are loving this NBA season and we are coming at you with new angles with which you can make some scratch. Between early NFL action this week, the NCAA Bowl Season and NBA every night, we’ve been crunching numbers like mad!!! For the NBA, our overall season ATS record stands at 93-80-4. Of that, we are 3-1 ATS in our locks. If you’ve followed our site, you know that typically we have stayed away from giving “locks.” This is because we are confident with every game we pick/make public. Simply put, if it doesn’t pass our tests, we don’t pick it. That said, through our numbers crunching, we’ve noticed things that seem to come true even more than our typical picks. These are our “locks,” but note that they don’t pop-up too much so there may be nights where none exist. Tonight, we have two!!!!! Here is what we like:

LOCKS OF THE NIGHT

Lakers @ Bucks +5.5: The Lakers are the lock. Press this like crazy. Take the Lakers and give the points.

 

Wizards @ Kings -3: The Wizards are the lock. Go crazy. Take the Wizards and the points.

 

PICKS

Cavs @ 76ers +6: Take the Cavs and give the points.

 

Raptors @ Magic -11: Take the Magic and give the points.

Bobcats @ Pacers -3.5: Take the Bobcats and the points.

There you go-12 winners for tonight!!!!

Good luck,

NFL Week 14 Winning Picks - Record number of winning picks!!!!

RPJ Betting $yndicate - It was nice of the Browns to rain on our Thursday parade but we are facing a colliding of the gambling forces this weekend. We love a ton of games. Since the Browns beat the Steelers on Thursday, RPJ dropped to 40-35 on the season. Since we are facing so many different games this week, we are going to simply list the games that we like. When we did this in the NCAA we slayed it so hopefully it translates over to some nice Ws for RPJ and for you.

New Orleans (-10.5) at Atlanta - We are taking New Orleans to win and cover

Detroit at Baltimore (-13.5) - We are taking Baltimore to win and cover

Green Bay (-3) at Chicago - We are taking Green Bay to win and cover

Seattle at Houston (-6) - We are taking Houston to win and cover

Denver (-7) at Indianapolis - We are taking Denver to cover

Buffalo at Kansas City (pick em) - We are taking Kansas City to win and cover

Cincinnati at Minnesota (-6.5) - We are taking the Vikings to win and cover

Underdog Strategy - Another big week out of the underdog strategy. Last week it was 10-6 and now sits at 99-90-2. This is not great but just remember: A) this is a winning strategy and B) all this is is picking the underdog every week. You would not have become rich doing this but you would have won more than lost. Underdogs in bold:

Pittsburgh at Cleveland (+9.5) - Already have an underdog winner!!

New Orleans at Atlanta (+10.5)

Detroit (+13.5) at Baltimore

Green Bay at Chicago (+3)

Seattle (+6) at Houston

Washington at Oakland (+1)

San Diego (+3) at Dallas

Philadelphia (+1) at NY Giants

Arizona at San Francisco (+3.5)

Knockout Pool Strategy - We picked another winner for you and remain alive in our high stakes knockout pool. Problem for us is we still have 16 smart players alive in ours and we actually think we might pick winners all the way through the end of the season. Never has the NFL been more predictable amongst the elite versus bad teams.

Week 2: Washington Redskins

Week 3: Baltimore Ravens

Week 4: Chicago Bears

Week 5: Philadelphia Eagles

Week 6: Pittsburgh Steelers
