Could he be mounting a comeback? Up to second in the rankings, about 300 more than No.3 Rafa. He made it to the finals last year at Roland Garros..
From Tennis magazine...In fact, he's won 33 of his last 35 matches since he lost to Novak Djokovic in the semifinals of the U.S. Open, and that was a match in which he was twice one swing away from advancing to meet Rafael Nadal in the final. The only matches Federer has lost since then were to Nadal in the semis of the Australian Open, and John Isner of the USA in a Davis Cup tie. The title he won in Dubai (d. Andy Murray, 7-5, 6-4) is his fifth during that run.

So a lot of people banking on Johnson from the four hole, and sure PIR is Johnson's bitch, but hold on you might be witnessing the decline of the #48 team.
I think there are a lot of drivers ready to unseat Johnson in the Duel in the desert, but I am backing No. 11 Denny Hamlin today. I think I am going to hedge backing Kyle Busch to finish in the top 3.

Two games have me scratching my head and looking for an angle, but I can see title downside potential on backing the Resurgent Colts and Orlovsky driven offense making Wayne and Garçon viable fantasy Wide-outs...too bad you are out of the playoffs, eh?
Problem is that the Jags don't have a secondary and they're giving 3 to 3.5points depending where you shop.
Other game is the Dolphins who have been covering machines in their last eight genes. I am not sur why everyone is so convinced the Jets will win?? In fact almost ninety-five percent of the money line is backing the Jets, but Dolphins would love to play fast and loose in South Florida and win to prevent the Jts a third straight trip to the playoffs.
Play on Dolphins -3 , Colts +3.5 for a handful of units each. Gotta.

the line: Cardinals ( -1.19) O/U 7.5.
Hi Gang,
Been a long time since I posted and got away from NASCAR but tonight is the first game of the Fall Classic and it's gonna be windy, rainy, and 45 degrees. Pick a few graphs below
Umpires:
The crew is led by Jerry Lane, who will be behind home plate for Game 1. Listed below are the total results (O/U) for each umpire.
Jerry Lane: 13-17
Greg Gibson: 9-21
Alfonso Marquez: 14-19
Ron Kulpa: 15-18
Ted Barrett: 17-14
Gary Cederstrom: 12-21
After Lane, Gibson should go behind the plate in Game 2 since he's listed at 1B for Game 1. If the pattern continues, then the following umpire would be behind the plate as the series continues.
C.J. Wilson takes the mound in the series opener for the Rangers, seeking his first win in the postseason. The Texas southpaw has put together an ERA of 8.04 in three playoff outings, while allowing six earned runs in two separate starts against Tampa Bay and Detroit. The Rangers own a 2-4 record in Wilson's six road underdog outings this season, including the Game 5 loss in the ALCS at Detroit.
THE STAT THAT PICKS THE SIDE - The Rangers have dominated right-handed starting pitching in the playoffs with a 7-2 record, while the Cardinals are just 1-2 against southpaw starters. Texas will not have home-field advantage in this series due to the National League winning the All-Star Game, but the Ra...

Hey All,
Back from Australia where I absolutely obliterated the card. My only two errors were futures bets, but heck, I'll take daily units over longterm failures any day of the week. In case you are interested I'll be capping all season long over at Docs, here are a few snippets to whet your appetite....
Good Luck to all....

Nailed the winner last year with Djokovic paying 8/1 on the futures. This year I have another pick I really like for the men's and women's. As usual I'll be here everyday with daily match-ups and winners. I can already tell this is going to be a great Open!!!!

One of the most under-rated races of the year at the Monstah Mile. Some great dog match-ups this Sunday and we got em at Doc's. Should be a fun race for the Chase part two.

Yeah nothing quite like Richmond Setting the Chase. All some guys got to do is show up and they're in the Chase while others got some drivin' to do. A few with their Chase life in their hands are Bowyer and Kahne. In fact something about Richmond lends itself to season sweeps. JJ did it last year can Clint do it this year and get 5020 points to start the Chase? After all is it about winning, maintaining or just a fist full of bonus points?
Let's ask Kyle....

I think Roddick will think twice before calling out an opponent like the irascible Serb Djokovic next time. Boy he couldn't contain how pissed off he was during the post-match last night. And you know despite losing a ton on Roddick last night he got what he deserved. Kudos to Aussieguy on a great pick as he correctly backed the winner of the match.
I still have my Jankovic pending pick as you can still back the No. 2 seed at +135 at sportsbook.com as I have. On the otherside of the bracket, as much as I'd like my futures pick of Safina to win she has been WAAAAAY to eratic this Open and I see her losing in 2 sets unless she avoids the double-faults that have been plaguing her game. Serena is too focused to lose this one.
Pick! Serena -300 in two sets.
Tomorrow we have Mr. Congenial a slight dog to Federer who he has a 2-6 record against and as he said last night, Federer has the hard work to be No.1. I actually don't like Djokovic at all in this match. DJ is coming off an emotional win (too emotional?) against Roddick and a let down could be in his future. Besides, like bookends to the Open season; DJ won the Aussie semi-final and beat Federer, now it is Federer's turn to beat the smiling Serb.
Pick! Federer -1.35 in four sets
Murray - Nadal will be one of the best matches of the Open. There I said it. Make sure you watch this one. Murray's intensity has been amazing this open. While you can go broke b...

2-1 yesterday. Del Potro had his opportunities but was a bit tired as they say.
Today..
go BIGGGG on Roddick against an ailing Djokovic and Federer will get by Mulls and his 37 Aces to move on.
Jankovic will win as well. GLTA.

Nothing says welcome to NYC like a pistol to the back of the head and a hand groping your dick as they search the front pockets for some loose crank or cash. In my case I have neither but it doesn't stop the fucker from trying. Good thing I keep my winning a V-Chip reality and let the scuz keep the MacGyvered crumpled coke straw of a twenty. Fuck you. I got off-shore accounts for my seriousness and a handful of units that says I know the score when it comes to tennis.
A few leans today and I'll be on my way.
My longshot futures pick over at Doc's pays 10-1 if she wins the tourney and I am not about to start going against her now. Yeah she's struggled and turned two set victories into three set agonies and just when you think she's done she rememeber's, "Oh yeah I am fucking good at tennis." And while Sybille Bammer (great name for a tennis player) can whack the shit out of the balls I think she is out-classed in this one as Jankovic should take this in straight sets.
Pick: Jankovic (-500) in two sets
This afternoon Fed Express keeps rolling. Andreev has played a great tournament and up to now has been able to rise to the competition. It is unfortunate for Andreev that he has to meet No. 2 Roger Federer. As each match has progressed I have seen Federer gain confidence and that zen demeanor that he has had in past tournaments. Roger has to win today if he wants to win the... [More]

I just stumbled across a contest predicated upon the old Micro Bros. pick 21 in a row streak win 100K. I've been a member of Wagerline for years and have also played in the survivor contest always losing in some weird way around pick 6 or 7.
The ESPN contest is like this one, but if you hit 25 in a row you win a million and they give money for monthly streak leaders. The main difference being that you can pick as many as you like in one day as long as you are finished with the previous pick. Another great part is they have not only win lines, but all sorts of different props. I nailed one today backing Schynder to have the fastest serve against Dementieva. Fact that Dementieva has had shoulder surgery and Schnyder hits about 109 at least a few times a match was good enough for me. In case you care Schnyder hit 109 and Dementieve hit 104.
Check it out the contest also is equiped with cool graphics etc. A fun partner to the survivor game on this site. GLTA.

So far 2-0 but looking like we'll lose on the big German he's junk after that tough first set, but he can rebound. We'll see. Otherwise, come over to the blog to see whom else we had today. We'll have picks each and everyday with a bit of humor as well.
