THE ROOT TRUST AND THE FORTUNE 500 GAME OF THE YEAR
Football NFL
Game Date/Time: December 9, 2012, 10:00 am(PST) Matchup: Atlanta Falcons @ Carolina Panthers
Take: None Selected
Atlanta Falcons at Carolina Panthers...MILLIONAIRES...Take Carolina The Falcons look to inch closer to home field advantage when they travel to Carolina to face the Panthers. Carolina had monumental expectations coming into 2012 after Cam Newton’s rookie season took the league by storm. Steve Smith has been up and down through the air for the Panthers and the running game continues to be a crapshoot but the play of the Panthers has fallen on the shoulders of Newton. The Panthers do however have the opportunity to salvage some dignity to close out the season as they host the Falcons who will be looking to cement themselves as the top seed in the NFC and Carolina would like nothing more than to prevent that from happening. Despite their inadequacies this season the Panthers have played in some tight contests against the league’s better teams. Carolina has nothing left to play for and Newton will be looking to make amends for what has been a disappointing campaign. __________________________________________________ ___________ New Orleans Saints at NY Giants...NO LIMIT...Take NY Giants The Giants and Saints clash in the Meadowlands for one of the games of the week as both teams look to rebound after divisional losses and will look to inch closer towards the playoffs. The Giants however are in a more favorable position as they remain on top of the NFC East by a game over the Redskins and Cowboys. In what was arguably the biggest game of the season for both the Giants and Redskins, the Giants stumbled and were defeated. Despite the loss the Giants played considerably well and found success moving the ball on the ground against the Redskins stingy run defense. They still hold the division lead and will look to lay a beating down on the Saints to retain that lead. Brees is coming off an atrocious performance in a Thursday Night Football loss on the road in Atlanta. This could very well be a statement game from Eli Manning. __________________________________________________ ____________ Detroit Lions at Green Bay Packers...PINNACLE...Take Detroit The Detroit Lions will head into hostile territory looking for a win as they travel to Lambeau Field in Green Bay to take on the NFC North leading Packers in what is a huge game for both teams. Before we go any further; as of Friday, almost every sportsbook was getting slammed by every Tom, Dick and harry on the Packers. There's so much one sided money on Green bay that some Sportsbook Director will be hitting the sidewalk if the Packers cover. BUT...Vegas does NOT lose these type of games. They will need to get Mikel Leshoure going on the ground though to open up their passing game. If he can mimic his effort in the ground it will leave the Lions in a good spot to keep this one close as Calvin Johnson remains the best receiver in the game and can change the outcome by himself at any given time. Detroit had the opportunity to make a serious push over the last two weeks but their deflating overtime loss on Thanksgiving Day combined with their even more gut wrenching loss last week to the Colts makes the public think the Lions are finished. There would be nothing better for the Lions to keep this one close and win the game outright at the end!! __________________________________________________ ____________ Chicago Bears at Minnesota Vikings....FORTUNE 500...Take Minnesota Fortune 500 Game of the Year The Minnesota Vikings and the Chicago Bears face off on Sunday in Minnesota in a NFC North NFL match up. The bears can NOT like being a 3 point favorite on the road in a division race. The Minnesota Vikings have exceeded most expectations this season and with a late season run they have a chance to make the playoffs. Adrian Peterson has rushed for 1,446 yards with eight touchdowns while catching 36 passes. Defensively the Vikings allow 22.7 points, 115.1 rushing yards, and 229.8 passing yards with seven interceptions and 29 sacks which is great. The momentum is all on the Vikings. The Chicago Bears have lost three of their last four games and they have gone from leading the NFC North to possibly not making the playoffs in a matter of a week.Jay Cutler has completed 61.2 percent of his passes with 15 touchdowns and 11 interceptions. Below average. The Bears will need to find some answers fast as last week’s loss to Seattle was a bad one as the Seahawks drove right down the field in overtime for the game winning touchdown. Chicago is 2-5 against the spread in their last seven games overall, 1-4 against the spread against the NFC, and 0-5 against the spread in their last five games after allowing over 350 yards. This is worthy on a money line play!
3 Unit Play. #821 Take Fresno State +7.5 over Washington State (3 pm PAC-12 Network)
It does pain me to go against my Cougars, but this line is finally inflated were we can attack it with the underdog. Fresno State is just 5-3 on the season but they have not be blown out in any of their three losses. Neither team score many points and thus I fully expect a game that goes down to the wire especially since Wazzou does not shot free throws very well. Wazzou is coming off an emotional loss to Gonzaga this week and I do not believe they will have much left in the tank for this game on Sunday. Fresno State is 5-0 ATS in their last 5 road games.
I used to follow all these guys and was always in the poor house, I've stopped betting for years now. I miss the rush but I like money and keeping it is better. Some of these guys are good you just have to find the one's that are and stick with them. Don't believe the hype, if you find any hitting between 51% to 55% stick with those. There are no 70% & 80 % winners. GL!
Now on a 6-1, 8-2 and 9-3 College Ball Run. 6-2 (75%) to start December. 3 Straight Winning Weeks.
4-Unit Play. #832. Take Iowa State -30.5 over Nebraska-Omaha (Sunday @ 7pm est).
Regardless if a line goes down such as Eastern Kentucky early in the day yesterday or regardless if they are huge favorites such as Wisconsin -32 earlier this year, we stick to our math. I have Iowa State likely winning this game by 37 points today. I have Iowa State as a top 75 team facing a Nebraska Omaha team who is a top 500 ranked team when division II schools are also factored in as they are with my rankings. The last time Iowa State faced a team outside the top 500 was against Alabama A&M who they beat 98-40. This team comes off a frustrating loss to rival Iowa by a score of 80-71 and are looking to bounce-back here. Their 3 losses this year come Cincinnati, UNLV and Iowa who are all top 75 teams. Nebraska Omaha has faced two teams in the top in North Dakota State and Wisconsin and they ended up losing those games 44 and 46 points. Now, they face another team in the top 100 in Iowa State. I don't like how this Nebraska Omaha just got trucked by Wisconsin but the fact that Iowa State lost in their last game helps the situation out a bit. And, the previous data supports about a 37 point win here. Nebraska Omaha is a top 300 team when it comes to turnovers and they are outside the top 340 when it comes to defensive ratings. Iowa State is top 60 in offense, top 40 in defense and top 100 when it comes to 3 point percentage which all support a larger margin of victory.
Indian Cowboy's Picks For NBA Basketball
A big 5-0 day for us Yesterday in the NBA. I've always said I appreciate the faith and trust and if there is one thing I will do win or lose is consistently work as hard as I can to turn a profit. Winning does matter to me and I will always try to put the best effort each and everyday possible. We didn't win 4 of 5 months last year on accident nor did we have a winning season in the NBA by accident last year. I believe in our totals system along with selective sides as I have tracked it for 2 months for a success rate of 62%. We decided to go ahead and roll with it and yielded us a 5-0 day yesterday. I have always said I have the best clients. Thanks for your faith and looking forward to the rest of this month and Season.
5-Unit Play. #801. Take Over 200 Toronto vs. LA Clippers (Sunday @ 3:30pm est).
The Clippers have to feed the hungry dawgs with all the talent that they have on their roster. Their second team honeslty can be a 20-30 power ranking NBA team easily given their efficiency. The Clippers are 5th in the league in offense and 4th in the league in field goal percentage. Factor in the fact they are 24th in the league in yielding 3 pointers as well and it bodes well for a quick pace today. The Raptors were run out of the building by the Jazz in their last game and you'd have to think they have some motivation to play here as well. Plus, there is a lot of similarity in the offensive efficiency of the Jazz and the Clippers. Toronto is ranked 29th in the league in defense and just 26th in rebounding. I like Lowry and DeRozan to make this game competitive here. And, the Clippers have consistently had a way of allowing teams to hang around the first half such as the Phoenix game yesterday and then beginning pouring it on in the second half. The Over is 4-1 when the Raptors face a team with a winning record at home and the Over is 5-0-1 when the Clippers face a team with a winning percentage of less than 40%. I wouldn't be surprised if this game goes over today as I have this at about 218 this afternoon.
