First of all, take these all with a grain of salt.
Secondly, these are for educational purposes only.
Third - I think it is a major mistake to try and predict all games.
My ranking system is based on "Stars", which gauges how strongly I feel about each pick.
Last week I had a fast start, going 5-0 with Thanksgiving picks followed by a mediocre Sunday, 7-5 but still a winning day. Not up to par from the past four weeks, where I went 10-4, 9-1 (including my Stone Cold
of the Year), then 9-6 and then 7-3. Five winning weeks and 47-19 isn't a bad streak. That's a 71% winning percentage, which is 
no matter how you slice it. I've heard a few people wanting my Thursday selections ASAP, so I'll do just that if I like the game.... which I do this week.
So - how about some picks?
Let's go:
*ONE STAR GAMES*
Coming Soon.
**TWO STAR GAMES**
Green Bay Packers (+7) at Dallas Cowboys - (2 stars)
Last time I checked, Green Bay was pretty good. They can score, score, and score some more - and so can their defense. To borrow some from my write-up in the FBG Staff Roundtable:
), and some of it is that I'm just that lazy. Or maybe I liked what I wrote, I'm not sure. Bottom line - you can't give a 10-1 team a touchdown and not take that, can you?
Green Bay Packers at Dallas Cowboys (OVER 51) - (2 stars)
Ok, I'm lazy. 37-24, See above.
***THREE STAR GAMES***
Coming Soon.
:IBTL: of the Week - Coming Soon.
***SUCKER BET GAME***
Coming Soon.
Enjoy.

Since I have Green Bay at 2 stars, I would say that the safer play would be to split your "star power" and do both. Put a little over half of it (say 60%) on Green Bay at +7 and then the other 40% on the straight-up win / money line.That way you still win something if they cover, but you win much more if they win outright.If it was a "3 star game" I would feel more confident about going straight to the money line. I think Dallas has a chance to win but not cover, so I'd hate to lose the +7 option.

And why should I reconsider making a SUGGESTION?
in the FFA. I'm done responding to you since you won't listen, like usual.
