So 3-2 this week would cement a cash for me in the top 10 of the Hilton contest.<br /><br />The bad news is I have a terrible headache pouring over the games for this weekend. Week 17 is like no other week of handicapping...many different considerations. But I have found 4 games I can go with and feel good about it....the 5th....who knows. Again I will post these Sunday morning.<br /><br />Probably an nhl game today maybe 2 and perhaps some more ncaa bb.<br /><br />Good Luck today<br /><br />RickJ<br />Rickjshandicappingpicks.blogspot.com<div class="blogger-post-footer">Rickjshandicappingpicks.blogspot.com<img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/35698995-508019422483592606?l=rickjshandicappingpicks.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>RickJhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16386618859327907869noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35698995.post-52662301117697574412009-12-29T15:59:00.000-08:002009-12-29T16:00:00.240-08:00Louisville -11.5<br />Notre Dame -7.5<br /><br />Rick<div class="blogger-post-footer">Rickjshandicappingpicks.blogspot.com<img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/35698995-5266230111769757441?l=rickjshandicappingpicks.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>RickJhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16386618859327907869noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35698995.post-86070302679160550512009-12-29T14:45:00.000-08:002009-12-29T14:46:14.533-08:00St louis -10<br /><br />That makes 5 ncaa bb picks today and 1 nhl..<br /><br />RickJ<div class="blogger-post-footer">Rickjshandicappingpicks.blogspot.com<img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/35698995-8607030267916055051?l=rickjshandicappingpicks.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>RickJhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16386618859327907869noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35698995.post-56201773447653115472009-12-29T10:26:00.001-08:002009-12-29T10:26:43.598-08:00Howard +13<br />Air Force +21.5<br /><br />RickJ<div class="blogger-post-footer">Rickjshandicappingpicks.blogspot.com<img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/35698995-5620177344765311547?l=rickjshandicappingpicks.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>RickJhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16386618859327907869noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35698995.post-20222663545756340682009-12-29T09:42:00.000-08:002009-12-29T09:44:31.704-08:00We won both our ncaa bb picks on monday..and have 2 from last night...Both though have the line moving against us....that hasnt happened in awhile.<br /><br />Today 1 nhl lean<br /><br />Columbus +115<br /><br />RickJ<br />Rickjshandicappingpicks.blogspot.com<div class="blogger-post-footer">Rickjshandicappingpicks.blogspot.com<img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/35698995-2022266354575634068?l=rickjshandicappingpicks.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>RickJhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16386618859327907869noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35698995.post-86827078875314885022009-12-28T20:15:00.001-08:002009-12-28T20:15:51.565-08:00Cornell pk<br />Elon +16.5<br /><br />Rick<div class="blogger-post-footer">Rickjshandicappingpicks.blogspot.com<img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/35698995-8682707887531488502?l=rickjshandicappingpicks.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>RickJhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16386618859327907869noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35698995.post-24919753654163365192009-12-28T15:22:00.000-08:002009-12-28T15:23:44.149-08:00I am going to pass on tonights game.

And Baltimore could of gone either way. My guess is I will still be in the top 20 in the Hilton( somewhere around 15th) and around 10th or so in the Stations. I will need a 3-2 week in the Hilton to cash.<br /><br />Today one ncaa bb pick I put out early this morning. Marshall -2 and the line is -2.5 now in most places.<br /><br />Tonight 1 NFL game. Minn at Chicago. The line opened at 6.5 and is now up to 8 and 9 at some books. I am going to wait a bit to see how far the bettors take this one and will most probably put chicago out as a lean tonight. If I do i will update later.<br /><br />The public is all over Minn and at +8 the line seems to me to be inflated a bit. Chicago has nothing at all to play for and Minn does...so that to me means value on chicago. <br /><br />Note...there is a difference between being in the playoffs with nothing to play for and being out of it with nothing to play for ie the indy jets game.<br /><br />RickJ<br />Rickjshandicappingpicks.blogspot.com<div class="blogger-post-footer">Rickjshandicappingpicks.blogspot.com<img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/35698995-6409514432328904423?l=rickjshandicappingpicks.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>RickJhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16386618859327907869noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35698995.post-15639463376325726502009-12-28T07:32:00.001-08:002009-12-28T07:32:21.799-08:00Marshall -2<br /><br />RickJ<div class="blogger-post-footer">Rickjshandicappingpicks.blogspot.com<img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/35698995-1563946337632572650?l=rickjshandicappingpicks.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>RickJhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16386618859327907869noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35698995.post-90157530021859501112009-12-27T06:31:00.000-08:002009-12-27T06:43:36.425-08:00Nothing the last few days but today 2 leans in ncaa fb.<br /><br />Carolina +8<br />Washington +7<br /><br />NFL Football 09-10<br />Plays 3-3 -0.15<br />Leans 10-5 +4.80<br /><br />My record in the Hilton contest is:<br /><br />Hilton NFL contest<br />46-28-1 62.16%<br /><br />With a 5-0 record last week I jumped up to a tie for 5th place in the contest with 3 other people and 1.5 pts out of 1st. <br /><br />My picks in the Hilton contest in the order I liked them at the time:<br /><br />Washington +7<br />Buffalo +9<br />Baltimore +2.5<br />Houston +3<br />Carolina +6.5<br /><br />In the stations contest I went 4-0-1 last week putting me in a tie for 2nd with 1 other person and 1 pt out of first. <br /><br />My picks in the Stations contest are the same except that Carolina is +7<br /><br />The only other game I considered was the bears +7.<br /><br />Stations NFL contest<br />47-27-1 63.51%<br /><br />There is a mini contest in Stations for 10,000 that I am first going 8-1-1 the last two weeks.

The standings came out in the Hilton contest and I am tied for 5th...1.5 points out of 1st place. Combining that with being either 1st or 2nd in the stations nfl contest i am looking good going into the last 2 weeks.<br /><br />A shot at winning one or both with 2 weeks to go...i couldnt ask for a better position to be in. Now its just a matter of finding the right side in 10 more games...again easier said then done.<br /><br />Looks like probably nothing else today...although if anything develops I will post on here.<br /><br />RickJ<br />Rickjshandicappingpicks.blogspot.com<div class="blogger-post-footer">Rickjshandicappingpicks.blogspot.com<img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/35698995-3827092366762802255?l=rickjshandicappingpicks.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>RickJhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16386618859327907869noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35698995.post-86867841703183905652009-12-22T19:05:00.000-08:002009-12-22T19:06:11.862-08:00Wisconsin -16<br /><br />RickJ<div class="blogger-post-footer">Rickjshandicappingpicks.blogspot.com<img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/35698995-8686784170318390565?l=rickjshandicappingpicks.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>RickJhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16386618859327907869noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35698995.post-12725984663336703372009-12-22T10:04:00.000-08:002009-12-22T10:06:25.363-08:00We won our two nhl leans easily on Monday but lost our ncaa bb pick.

Couldnt be a better day..and Tampa Bay as our nfl piay won easily.<br /><br />2 weeks left and I should be solidly in the money in both contests. <br /><br />Tonight 1 game in the nfl....the line is wash +3 in many books. The public is heavily in favor of the giants tonight. But one of my main variables is pointing to the giants as the right side. The line looks like there is quite a bit of value on washington. If one of my main variables wasnt pointing to the giants I would of been on Washington...but I am passing on the game tonight.<br /><br />We have a carry over from last night in ncaa baskets....Montana -5<br /><br />Should be 1 or 2 nhl picks later.<br /><br />RickJ<br />Rickjshandicappingpicks.blogspot.com<div class="blogger-post-footer">Rickjshandicappingpicks.blogspot.com<img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/35698995-8622124894776500158?l=rickjshandicappingpicks.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>RickJhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16386618859327907869noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35698995.post-32536675508879986492009-12-20T20:03:00.000-08:002009-12-20T20:04:07.141-08:00Montana -5<br /><br />RickJ<div class="blogger-post-footer">Rickjshandicappingpicks.blogspot.com<img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/35698995-3253667550887998649?l=rickjshandicappingpicks.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>RickJhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16386618859327907869noreply@blogger.com0
