In my opinion, last weekend was one of the best playoff weekends in recent history.  You had the snow in Green Bay, a relatively close game in New England, then two upsets on Sunday.  The best part is that we are left with four teams who I would accept in the finals.  There are no 8-8 teams that bring up the complaints of "Should an 8-8 team be considered the champions?"  There are no teams that just got hot the last few weeks of the season and barely made it in to the playoffs.  All four of these teams are solid, which makes this coming weekend another weekend

So without a data feed to rely on to get my picks, I took the day off yesterday. Just to update you, Saturday's picks went 2-5 leaving me with a 2-day total of 10-7. I also apologize for not showing you guys my picks ahead of time so you could follow along, my plan was to post pictures of my accuscore challenge screen, but for some reason the blog interface didn't like that. So today I'll be typing out my picks for all to see now that the data feed seems to be back up. So here are today's plays using my system.

CHA +4.5, 58% sim with 14 day trend for both teams at

Attention Goldmembers: we will now continue our month-long look back at the year that was in the NFL, focusing on one of the more disappointing teams of 2007, the Chicago Bears.  2006 finish: 13-3(super bowl runner-up), 2007 finish: 7-9, regression -6.  My projection: 11-5, NFC North champion, 2 seed in NFC, losing in divisional round to Dallas, obviously I missed this one pretty badly, but I'm pretty sure I wasn't the only one.  The Bears came into 2007 as the super bowl runner-up, with plans on getting back and winning it this time, yet they already had quarterback issues

Attention Goldmembers: First off, I apologize for how late this post is, secondly let's get cookin to make up for that bad playoff start a week ago.  We need to hit on 5 of the remaining 7 games to come out ahead, so let's get it cranked up.  I will take the games in order, starting with Seattle and Green Bay.  All the analysts are talking about how the Packer running game will be the difference and I tend to agree that it gives them an edge.  Ryan Grant had the 2nd most rushing yards in the league after week 8, which is when he assumed the starting role.  However

Due to some technical difficulties I wasn't able to post my picks yesterday, so I thought I would use this entry to show you my picks from yesterday and how they turned out. I made 10 picks total, risking 1% on each (50 units) using the methodology I laid out in my previous post. The CHI/PHI under was above 55%, but I didn't take it because the trend data was poor. LAL -12.5 and DAL -8.5 were slightly under 55%, but I took those plays because the trend data was highly favorable. End result: 80% correct and up 268 units. The only losers were TOR/NY under

I figured for my 100th blog post I would re-cap a few things that I've written so far in this blog, such as predictions and fantasy information.  I'll also include my final thoughts on the weekend.  It will be like one of those TV episodes where they have no ideas on what to write, so they take the easy way out and just do a best-of show.

First, the NFL predictions:

From the Finding the 2007 Sleeper Teams:

Welcome to my blog.  My goal is to try and show people how to combine the tools provided by accuscore along with solid money management techniques to consistantly provide returns that would make stock investors jealous.  Looking at the historical performance of accuscore, it should be clear that the simulations are doing well.  So, what is the best way to take advantage of these simulations and use them to make picks and ultimately make money?  Well, I plan on showing you how I will do it.

My methodology:

Attention Goldmembers: we now shift the focus of our look back at the wild and wacky year that was to the Carolina Panthers.  2006 finish: 8-8, 2007 finish: 7-9, regression -1.  My projection: 6-10, so close.  Carolina started off the year pretty well behind Jake Delhomme, but then his season ended after week 3, and the Panthers fell off the table.  Through 3 weeks, Carolina was 2-1, Delhomme had apparently morphed back into the super bowl quarterback of a few years ago with a quarterback rating of 111, Steve Smith had 16 catches for 281 yards and 4 touchdowns, and Carolina

With Accuscore NHL's DLR active I will no longer need to post the SV and ML plays. I will contiune to post how teams are doing. Power Rankings and major injuries.

Duquense is the better team, but I just don't expect them to blow out this senior laden conference rival. The Rams have more talent than they have shown so far and they are capable of an outright win.

adding: Suns -11

I will bet that the team enjoyed the whooping they put on Denver after the pep talk from Steve Kerr. I am going to bet they carry that emotion into tonight's game. The Suns can really take advantage of the Pacers' lack of speed and defense so they should be able to win by 20+ if they want to. Given their past dominance over Indiana and the Pacers
