Bar Stool Pundits, Week 3

natedogg · #1 09-22-2007, 03:22 AM

Last week the BSPs had a rough one. Let's hope it continues.

There is one team at the bottom of most power rankings. They look absolutely awful after their first two weeks. They have scored a total of 10 points, and now they finally get their home opener, with Joey Harrington of all guys starting at QB. How can they possibly win?

Take Atlanta +3.5 you even get the hook! Oh those loveable BSPs pushing the line past 3. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] PS: this is a *heavy* BSP favorite, one of the stronger BSP indications I've seen in a while.

Runner up:
I've already posted my unbiased thoughts on this game. Dallas with a suspect defense, on a second consecutive road game, facing a tough defense. I like the Bears anyway, but the BSPs do seem to be leaning toward Dallas as well, so take that for what it's worth.

Thanks Nate.
I love Atlanta this week already, This more confirmation for me that I'll be on the right side.

Agreed, thanks Nate.

What's the comment on "loveable BSPs pushing the line past 3"? I thought the line opened at 4 and has moved down?

I think this line moves nicely in ATL's favor and hope to get +4.5 or even +5 before the game. I'm definitely on this one though...

Again, no play on the spread for me yet but I'm on the Atlanta ML at +180.

It's 4.5 on the Bodog.

BSP's YTD record?

Anyone watch the game? From the box it seems like Harrington played really well, penalties may have hurt but Atl pretty much got unlucky to lose or at least to not cover?

New001 · #8 09-23-2007, 07:29 PM

The penalties were just bad. Atlanta had a real shot at this game, but they suck.

I have no idea how I managed to break even on the day going into SNF.

They committed a 9-yd Def penalty to give them a 1st down inside the 15, and a 15-yd penalty after a 9-yd sack on 3rd and 8. Idiots.

Loss on the day here, push on SEA from other thread.
4-1-1 ats YTD, 0-3 ML, +2.15u.
Teasers +4.8u.

Lost the turnover battle 2-0 too (both fumbles). And after all that, they still had 2nd and goal from the 6 with a chance to cover. Oh well, feel good that I was on the right side anyway.
