Don't know how active I'll be for the next few days... Hurricane Isaias is gonna give us a close shave tomorrow night. Shouldn't be too bad where I'm at, but if the wrong tree comes down on the wrong power line, we might not have power for a bit. Been through worse though.

Be safe.

I used to run a betting contest in old days of SEAPL. Participants had to pick three games each week to bet on. They had 100 bucks each week to divvy up for those three bets using the spreads that I established. Had to bet on 3 games & had to use the whole 100 each week. Any interest in trying this once the season begins?

Im up for it

A reasonable practice run. Only missed one favorite (Comets in RL3), but all the other winners beat the spread. Going to have to up those point spreads.

RL1
The 4th Street Gang vs. New Orleans Golden Kangaroos - The Roos will put up a lot of points. NO +14 (NO 111-0)
The-Punishers American-Outlaws vs. Houston Hurricanes - Little to see here as Houston rolls. Houston +21 (Houston 91-7)
PVAC Gofers vs. LA Express - The Express is hapless. PVAC + 24 (PVAC 83-0)
Phnom Penh Chaos vs. Dairy State Cheeseheads - Should be one of the better games. Chaos +3 (Chaos 56-0)
Brew Crew vs. Lost Quarters - The Crew gets things rolling. Brew +21 (Brew Crew 110-18)
Palm Bay Palookas vs. WAR HAMMER - The battle for the early #1 ranking. Palookas +1 (Palookas 28-7)

RL3
Phnom Penh Insanity vs. Bayside Tigers - Best vs. the Worst? Insanity +24 (Insanity 49-7)
Gridiron Grit vs. Los Cabos Sharks - Grit bounces back. Grit +6 (Grit 17-0)
Florida State Criminoles vs. Stargate SG-1 - Should be a breeze. Criminoles +21 (Criminoles 55-0)
K.C. Comets vs. STALINGRAD GHOST OF THE GREY ARMY - best matchup in RL3? STALINGRAD +3 (Comets 21-7)
Blue Lagoon vs. SKinWalker RANCH - Don't think the scoreboard will be very busy. Lagoon +7 (Lagoon 60-28)
Ho Chi Mean Pre-schoolers vs. D.C. Freedom - DC will roll. DC +21 (DC 63-6)

After two preseason games, the guessing continues.....


RL1
#1 (previous #3) Palm Bay Palookas – you beat #1, you get your time at the top
#2 (#2) NO Golden Kangaroos – just waiting for their turn at the top
#3 (#1) WAR HAMMER – were those chants of overrated?
#4 (#4) Houston Hurricanes – no style points for beating up the puppies
#5 (#4) Brew Crew – ditto
#6 (#6) PVAC Gofers – ditto again
#7 (#7) Phnom Penh Chaos – they at least beat a team with a pulse
#8 (#8) Dairy State Cheeseheads – appears to be a big gap between top 7 and the rest
#9 (#9) 4th Street Gang – not much to see from here on down
#10 (#10) Lost Quarters – ugly
#11 (#11) The Punishers – uglier
#12 (#12) LA Express – ugliest?

RL 3
#1 (previous #1) Phnom Penh Insanity – took care of business
#2 (#2) DC Freedom – status quo
#3 (#3) Florida State Criminoles – not tested
#4 (#5) KC Comets – looking like a potential conference threat
#5 (#4) Stalingrad – back-to-back tough losses
#6 (#7) Blue Lagoon – they can score
#7 (#6) Gridiron Grit – they can play defense?
#8 (#8) Los Cabos Sharks – #8-12 look interchangeable
# 9 (#9) Stargate – probably too high #9
#10 (#10) Ho Chi Mean – not worth the effort to sort them out
#11 (#11) Skinwalker – at least they scored a few times
#12 (#12) Bayside – somebody has to be last

Comets kicker so bad

Where is the spread for today's games at JMarter?!
Gotta keep this forum alive buddy.

What he said.

Wow, Hurricane Isaias has thankfully turned into a big nothing.

Some insights:

RL1
WAR HAMMERS (-14) vs. Chaos - the HAMMERS will bounce back, bet on it.
Hurricanes (-7) vs. Gofers - Gofers lying in wait?
Cheeseheads (-20) vs. 4th Street Gang - Cheeseheads have some fun
LA Express vs Palookas (-80) - ain't no spread big enough for the Palookas
NO Kangaroos (-17) vs Brew Crew - expecting the Brew Crew to wake up soon
Lost Quarters (-10) vs. Punishers - who cares?

RL3
STALINGRAD (-50) vs. Ho Chi Mean - one of a series of mismatches this week
Los Cabos vs. KC Comets (-40) - KC opening some eyes
Stargate vs. Gridiron (-28) - time for the Gridiron to turn the corner?
Bayside vs Criminoles (-80) - this one is already over
Skywalker vs. Insanity (-45) - probably enough to hold onto #1 for another week
DC Freedom (-14) vs Blue Lagoon - closest game of the week, and that may not be saying much

Definitely glad to hear that!
We went through Harvey a few years ago and it was one of the worst times of my life honestly.

One more preseason look to finalize the beginning of the season poll. Here's the best guess now:

RL1
#1 (previous #1) Palm Bay Palookas – just rolling along
#2 (#2) NO Golden Kangaroos – pushed the Brew Crew aside
#3 (#4) Houston Hurricanes – destroyed the Gofers
#4 (#7) Phnom Penh Chaos – showed some life
#5 (#3) WAR HAMMER – the Brew Crew win not looking as impressive
#6 (#8) Dairy State Cheeseheads – embarrassing the CPUs
#7 (#5) Brew Crew – worried yet?
#8 (#6) PVAC Gofers – waiting for the real season?
#9 (#11) The Punishers – beat one of the other CPUs
#10 (#9) 4th Street Gang – still not much to see from here on down
#11 (#10) Lost Quarters – lost to one of the CPUs
#12 (#12) LA Express – not a match for the Palookas

RL 3
#1 (previous #1) Phnom Penh Insanity – did nothing to lose the top spot
#2 (#4) KC Comets – just keep winning
#3 (#3) Florida State Criminoles – just did not look impressive
#4 (#5) Stalingrad – got the ship righted, but it was CPUs
#5 (#6) Blue Lagoon – got the upset this week over DC
#6 (#2) DC Freedom – wowsa, no defense
#7 (#7) Gridiron Grit – well, handled some CPUs
#8 (#8) Los Cabos Sharks – overmatched
# 9 (#9) Stargate – not much of a threat
#10 (#10) Ho Chi Mean – embarrassed by Stalingrad
#11 (#12) Bayside – showed some fight vs Criminoles
#12 (#11) Skinwalker – racing for the bottom
