week 5 picks

I'm currently
62.7% straight up
59% ovr/und (leading since week 1)

and we won't talk about spread :/ (at 44% i do believe i'm the worst right now)

I think you're underselling buffalo btw, they got a good defense and will probably eep it close enough.

thatguy, you making any dollars off your picks?

i just dont see the cowboys going into philly and coming home with a victory. McNabb is going to light up the cowboys.

Ok guys I do not understand sports betting, so what does spread and straight mean?

the spread is the odds bookies give to help even out their bets so they dont lose money,they want even betting on both sides,the spread this week is the giants -4 1/2 which means if you bet on the giants they have to win by more than 4 1/2 points,if you bet on the skins they cant lose by more than 4 1/2
the straight means no points are involved,just pick which team will win,its a lot harder to pick against the spread than straight up

yeah, i don't bet on every team though, and for what we're doing (over e-mail) you have to pick a winner for every team in straight, spread, and ovr/und.

you bet on the skins?

you bet on the skins?

not usually, since i seem to have a lot of trouble with them and never really like betting against them.

but when we're playing a team like SF or houston it's free money...
