Every year I join a bar pool in which you have to pick every game every week vs. the spread, every year I go .500 or a game or two off.
Vowed that this year it would be different. So hows it going? Well they've played 128 games so far and I have 64 wins and 64 losses. I give up, I'm forever doomed to mediocrity in football handicapping.

You know Mike, picking with the lines is TOUGH, your .500 record really isn't that bad. I'm in a weekly "straight up" pool without lines and I'm tied for 1st with 82 winners after 9 weeks. The NFL has been a "crap shoot" the past five years. I pay attention to the weekly trends and the last four weeks have been tough. This year injuries have hampered a lot of good teams. Just found out the Amaini Toomer is done for the year with the G-men. Had him on my fantasy team and got rid of him yesterday, just in time. If I had your knowledge on the ponies and you had mine on football, WE BE RICH!
