[W.HI.P]

7th loss for the jays in halladay's last 8 starts as the yankees get the 5-3 win.... i wonder why they kept him.

Good stuff, W.HI.P

I took those 2 games as a base.

Played em with the Mets (2.00)

and with the Nationals (1.65).

Only time I ever bet with the Nationals is when Lannan is on the mound, he's got some good stuff.

[W.HI.P]

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

toronto blue jays vs baltimore orioles
cecil-tillman

the orioles are easily the superior team here.
as for the pitchers.... the jays would have to give cecil and a draft pick to trade for tillman.

bet on the baltimore orioles

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

la angels vs texas rangers
weaver - millwood

jered weaver is coming off an 11 strike-out game.
this will be the angels 7th straight win while weaver has started.
the angels line-up is now getting back some of their missing pieces. guerrero and rivera.... hunter will still be out for a while longer.

bet on the la angels

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

ny yankees vs boston red sox
sabathia - buchholz

the yankees are looking at going 5.5 games up on boston with a win here today.
the yankees line-up is by far superior to that of the red sox.
sabathia is leagues ahead of bucholz.

bet on the ny yankees

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

[W.HI.P]

the jays remain 15.5 games back despite beating the orioles.
the yankees go 5.5 games up on boston with their win.
jered weaver gets another 11k's in the angels win.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

toronto blue jays vs baltimore orioles
halladay - matusz

if you're gonna offer me such a high price against a pitcher like halladay, who's lost 7 of his last 8 games, i'm gonna take it.

bet on the baltimore orioles

[W.HI.P]

nfl - division winners

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

afc east

new england patriots 1.25
new york jets 9.00
buffalo bills 9.00
miami dolphins 9.00

are they really that clueless?
they place the weaker patriots as the even greater favorite, and they bunch the rest all together as if they are of the same dynamic.
since bill took over the dolphins, they won the afc east and participated in the play-offs.
the team is clearly stronger than last year, while the bills are weaker, and the jets still need a few years.

bet on the miami dolphins 9.00


*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

afc north

pittsburgh steelers 1.44
baltimore ravens 4.00
cincinnati bengals 10.00
clevland browns 11.00

the steelers are on the downfall.
anyone who really knows football is well aware of this.
the ravens attempt at creating an attack is a failure for sure.
the bengals have created an incredible passing attack..it will be exciting to watch.
the browns are full of question marks....i like quinn, and the defence will be coming around sooner or later.

bet on the cincinnati bengals 10.00
bet on the clevland browns 11.00


*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

afc south

indianapolis colts 2.50
tennessee titans 3.50
houston texans 4.30
jacksonville jaguars 4.50

the only thing i'm sure about in this division is that the titans are going to finish in last place.
the colts are not as strong as they have been, leaving this division open to be won by another team.
the jaguars were in draft mode last year and they seem to be the main candidate for this division, but i can't count out the texans who are developing very well as a franchise.

bet on the jacksonville jaguars 4.50
bet on the houston texans 4.30


*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

afc west

san diego chargers 1.28
denver broncos 7.00
kansas city chiefs 7.00
oakland raiders 13.00

there's no looking past the chargers....even if they have a bad year, they'll finish with 11 wins.
the chiefs, are easily the worst franchise in the nfl.....it will show each year that passes.
the broncos got a lot lot weaker than last season.
the raiders seem to be the main candidate for 2nd place, and at this price, a cover is affordable.

bet on the san diego chargers 1.28
bet on the oakland raiders 13.00


*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

nfc east

new york giants 2.75
philadelphia eagles 3.00
dallas cowboys 3.50
washington redskins 6.50

easily the best division in the nfl.
if there wasn't such big noise around this dallas stadium, i'd be very confident in this bet.
the redskins are seriously a contender with the upgrade of haynsworth.
the giants defence remains elite, however eli manning is left without many options other than his amazing running back jacobs.
the only team i leave out of this race is my favorite team eagles.

bet on the washington redskins 6.50


*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

nfc north

chicago bears 2.75
minnesota vikings 2.75
green bay packers 3.00
detroit lions 13.00

the bears defence remains elite, their attack has been upgraded.
possibly enough to contend for more than just this division.
minnesota has too many holes despite holding adrian peterson.
the packers seem more capable of competitng with the bears.
the lions will win...but thats about it.

bet on the chicago bears 2.75


*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

nfc south

new orleans saints 3.00
carolina panthers 3.00
atlanta falcons 3.30
tampa bay bucs 6.00

i've put some serious money on this bet as i'm well aware how good this falcons attack is.
i don't just think they're gonna win this division, but i think they have a shot at competiting for nfc championship.
rb turner and qb ryan are top of the line.

bet on the atlanta falcons 3.30


*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

nfc west

arizona cardinals 2.50
seattle seahawks 3.00
san fransisco 49ers 3.20
st.louis rams 11.00

this is, by far, the weakest division in football.
i'm not going to wager anything in this division, despite knowing how weak seattle is.
arizona's passing game remains elite, however they're not that good of a team as it stands.
gore will be key in the 49ers season.
the rams look like the best option based on the price, but i can't wager on such a weak team.

ummm, so let me get this straight..... do you think or believe that this 2009-2010 pittsburgh steelers team is going to be better than the steelers of the past 2 seasons?

[for the record please]

[Griff]

Yes, if you mean better over-all team. Healthy RBs will make for a better offense. No, if you mean better finish. The league, not counting Detroit, is built for parity some other squad will make a run.
