Nothing much to report from the farm today as The AWESOME POSSUM goes 3-3 and drops -0.15 units (after -0.02 cents commission).

Year to date he sits at 52-36, 59.09% and +15.19 units.

Back on Wednesday...

Re: The AWESOME POSSUM 2007 NFL Football

Nice job getting in early on the Colts, Jimmy. I had no idea that line would drop, but the probable status of Harrison seemed to drive the price down, then he didn't play anyway.

The pickers in my ATS contest at vip.com went
<TABLE id=consensus cellSpacing=0 summary="Jacksonville at Houston Consensus Picks."><TBODY><TR class=odd><TD class=choice>Jacksonville</TD><TD class=bar>
<!--778 -->66.6%


</TD></TR><TR class=even><TD class=winner>Houston</TD><TD class=bar>
<!--390 -->33.4%


</TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>

I never saw that one coming.

Seattle and Dallas are the better teams but ....

<TABLE id=consensus cellSpacing=0 summary="Seattle at Atlanta Consensus Picks."><TBODY><TR class=odd><TD class=choice>Seattle</TD><TD class=bar>
<!--861 -->73.7%


</TD></TR><TR class=even><TD class=winner>Atlanta</TD><TD class=bar>
<!--307 -->26.3%


</TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>
Seattle put up points like there is no tommorrow. Good try for them. I did not watch it yet. Atlanta is the pickers favorite team to not pick since the Vick thing. Seattle has a chance to advance.

<TABLE id=consensus cellSpacing=0 summary="Dallas at Washington Consensus Picks."><TBODY><TR class=odd><TD class=choice>Dallas</TD><TD class=bar>
<!--699 -->59.9%


</TD></TR><TR class=even><TD class=winner>Washington</TD><TD class=bar>
<!--469 -->40.1%


</TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>


Now this was a game to see. I was leerly at giving 9.5 on that one. If Dallas was trying to lower its line in the playoffs, they certainly did it. 6-27 only showed a modest amount of the inequality of play I saw. I give them a 10% chance of beating GB SU in warm weather. Farve's hand has arthritis or he is a true man of steel. Since he is human, his throwing hand hurt in the mini ice bowl last week. After, Farve said on GB chanel 2, WBAY, "Play Dallas at home in January? Nobody wants to play a game in these conditions, let alone the possibly worse cold of January! (paraphrased).

If it gets to GB vs Dallas, expect a lne of GB -7.5 or so. If I'm wrong on this and Dallas if the fav, get me GB SU on the ML.

Re: The AWESOME POSSUM 2007 NFL Football

I'm afraid to ask for fear of looking like a jackass, but I'm confused by the +118. Does that simply mean he found a line somewhere where he is only laying 100 to win 118 on the Seahawks -4? Thanks & sorry for the stupid question.

Re: The AWESOME POSSUM 2007 NFL Football

There are no stupid questions. I played the Seahawks -4 @ +118 at Matchbook. Yes, they are paying $1.18 for every dollar wagered at this line.

Thanks Jimmy!

For what it's worth...

My shoe shine guy at the Crowne Plaza hotel downtown tells me that all room service meals going upstairs to the Redskins are being prepared with unwashed hands.

and Pick Washington. I should have watched the last Sealttle game. My bad.

1-3 last night sounds good but I really hammered Washington. I will have to re-read my notes sometime. I'd rather be 1-0.

Great call !!

I must have been in a bad mood. I was 3-1, but the One was 'Skins and I was big on them. I am going to watch a little more carefully. Thank you.

Long time lurker. I have used Jimmy quite a while. I put $550 on his pick but I later thought that any team that could beat the Packers can come close to the Pats; maybe win. My picks below.
Later, I did this wrong.

$300 NYG +11.5 win
$300 NYG under 54 win

Re: The AWESOME POSSUM 2007 NFL Football

Next year I will out up my picks before the game so it does some good. The only way the NYG were to win was to keep it close like they did to the Packers. That means a low scoring game.

This year; I always take the Pro Bowl game under.
