Agreed - nice job here. MIL really is going to completely fade down the stretch. K-Rod imploded last night and now Braun has an issue not just with his thumb but his whole hand. Too bad I hit every other leg of the parlay I had, except this one. I should have followed youGood call.

The line this week I don't understand. BYU -18.5 at home against Houston. UTSA thumped UH in the first week of season. BYU went down to Texas last week and gave them a thumping. Is it just a classic letdown spot? Houston roughed up Grambling st. last week. Line has moved to 17.5 now. Makes no sense to me. BYU will have to win every game this year to get into playoff. The only game I see of concern on their schedule is the Boise st. game. I also like Indiana -7.

3 guys in the mix, we'll find out more Thursday, but it could stay a 3 RBBC. Highest upside is that 4th round rookie whatever his name is.
Forsett scatback, Pierce 1-2 down guy, 3rd guy could be feature if he shows anything

I'm in the same range as Lamb right now (30-33%). Pierce didn't produce in game one and they've said Forsett is going to get him chance. You think Pierce will make a come back then when riding the hot hand?

ESPN Ravens reporter Jamison Hensley still expects Bernard Pierce to lead the team in carries this season.
Despite his Week 1 benching, coach John Harbaugh said Pierce remains a big part of the plans at running back. "You don’t lose faith in a player because of a bad play," Harbaugh said. "Bernard is still on his way to becoming, I would say, a very good player." While Justin Forsett may get the start Thursday night against the Steelers, the Ravens know the undersized scatback can't carry a full load. Pierce can at 6'/230. Long-term, Pierce is the back to own in fantasy

Any props on Goodell surviving this ray rice thing?

I'm getting quite furious with myself.
I've turned $100 into $250 and lost it.
I turned $50 into $120 and I lost it.
I turned $50 into 150 and I lost it.
Obviously I'm betting on an extremely small scale but if would have been nice to walk away after those wins. Or the wins earlier in the year when I turned $50 into $500 twice in two-months (basketball season was nice to me). Do you guys bet consistently or do you make a few quick moves then take a 1 - 2 week break? I don't think I have a winner's mentality. I think I am hitting about 60 percent of my bets but I frequently squander it all going for a homerun. I tried parlaying that $250 into $650 and those two $500 lump sums I won I tried doubling up to $1,000.
I understand that betting with larger sums would probably fix this. But I don't exactly have stacks to throw around. Hitting a $500 parlay or prop would be a thing of beauty. So when I have the chance, I find it very hard not to pull the trigger on it. Being "house money".

WOO! Nothing better than hitting your TT over in the 1st inning of the game. I love that the Rays offense sucks so much that a big inning will usually cover. Also I bought a new truck today! Well, it was brand new in 1997, but...new to me! The Rays TT over paid for half of it.

So there's no rollover on that? I was thinking about doing a withdrawal. Will there be another 50% offer soon? Sorry, I just funded my SB acct for the 1st time in a year or so last week. tia gb

just wondering. Had our escape in the shop and progressive gave us a 2013 or 2014 f150 as a rental. Loved the truck but I got 12 mpg and that was a lot of highway and low traffic. I wasnt driving it like jerk either, was nice and slow. Was cruising along 65-70 and I couldnt get that MPG gage think above the 2nd bar.I took it for a test drive from my neighbors house (who sold it to me) to mine, had to refill the tank twice.10 mpg?WOO!

Hey when do waivers run in our FF league? And what's the site? Also need log-in and password. TIA. HTH.
I doubt any 50% offers until the playoffs. But they have 25% offers every Thursday with no rollover. Deposit $2000 and get a $500 free bet (that you can parlay)I've literally built up a bankroll from $500 to $4000ish off of exploiting these

Thanks Rud, I got in.
Not starting a QB and missing waivers is how BRONG PRON does things. Always have. See you at the finish.

This guy Tommy Carmichael was a ####### genius. Every time casinos changed slot machines to defeat his cheating gadgets, he would invent a new cheating gadget to beat the new machines. Gotta respect the guy's perseverance.

Goodell's made the owners a lot of money, in addition to what they would've made. But at this point with corporate partners like Marriott piping up, the owners won't hesitate to blow him out if he becomes a liability.

I have an '87 Bronco at the ranch that is an absolute tank. Gulps gas like it's chocolate milk. That thing will go anywhere. They don't make trucks like that anymore.I took it for a test drive from my neighbors house (who sold it to me) to mine, had to refill the tank twice.10 mpg?WOO!

I guess I don't view goodell the same as everyone else. Isn't he just a figure head like the POTUS? Or do players really stand before him like daenerys stormborn and plead their case..... Only to see him slam the hammer down.
I can't imagine it's the latter

How is teasing them not free money @ home vs. the Jets?
Just need to find a teaser partner (and there are quite a few Wong-ables on RB right now)
