It's just like any other matchup with 7 picks, a toss up.

Lets get a little higher level discussion going on this matchup and perhaps some Game theory for this specific matchup with these exact rules...

Question #1 should either person intentionally pick the Monday night game as a side or total if pinny lean gives them something to go on?? why or why not?

Question #2 should you ever choose an NFL game landing on 3 (no matter what the pinny lean advantage) for a tiebreaker..why or why not??

Related question #2 What sort of game should you use for a tiebreaker (explain why?)

Answer 1. I say yes because it will give you a great opportunity to hedge if you want to should the monday night game be the deciding factor.

Answer 2a. No because a tie is almost as bad as a loss so you are giving up almost a half a point. Unless the pinny line is -122 or so or higher than I say it is the wrong move. (depending on the average line for top 7 plays)

Do you two watch the games and attempt to figure out which team has the most talent or advantage, or is it just which team has the most money pouring in on them? Please see Fishturds thread for last nights game, it really was irrelevant. Just curious. Good luck to both of you this week!

this is a perfect answer and why WVU has had an edge vs all thus far not even factoring in the pinny lean.

Yup, agree with WVU on #2. Not as much on #1, but could be argued either way.

Can't say I didn't warn you of this before the very first matchup of the tournament. If anything, our strategy is vindicated.

You are correct...now it is down to 5 game CONTEST....not a capping contest....

But the rules are the rules....

Tuck's Recruits > VD's Recruits. making money is the goal of gambling. It doesn't matter to me how it is achieved. I am sure others feel different, but my advice is free.

Re: Round 3: Matchup 1:(Wvu/IrishTim) : Picks Inside

i got no problems with those guys at capping, from what I have seen they are pretty good. But winning contests is not always correlated with good capping. Math in the numbers and solid contest strategy would win out in the long run.

all pinny leans

i would hope so......in a contest if you can get a game +9 thats is 7.5 and a game +3 that is 3 dog 30 and not have juice count they'd be foolish not to.....only way to play i dont see how some people dont see this

Irish Tim +101
memo to my landlord:I am going to take a flyer on the best prices on the two matching plays close to post time and if i don't go 0 and 2 November's bill will probably be paid Sunday evening.2-0 and we can discuss December.
0-2 and I will give you next weeks pick for free.

I like a blend of the Pinny lean and one's own handicapping preferences.

Even WVU admitted he's not betting blindly or strictly mechanical with his reliance on the Pinny lean.

This is why i liked Irish because i knew WVU was going to take the monday game wheather it was a good pk or not. he will back bet to win a few coins this way if it comes down to that game

I have a pretty strong opinion on that game and posted a thread about it a couple days ago. Pinny likes my pick as well, but it wasn't the best of the bunch according to the juice. The fact that Seattle could very well win big and the fact that it was a line that couldn't tie made this a very good contest best bet as well. I thought we might have 4 like picks so the best bet was a big one.

A mix of Pinny, contest strategy, and good ole injury capping has me really liking my best bet. It may very well lose, but I am comfortable with my pick

so far 3 of my 7 picks the lines have moved in my favor.

Carolina +3 now +1.5
Tampa Bay -2.5 now -3
Seattle -9.5 now -10

the others haven't changed but I expect Chicago to move my way as well.
