Brandon Lang Tuesday's Selection...
NOTE:
As good as it gets.
To handicap a game like that, a near pickem game, and be absolutely spot-on is what this business is all about.
What my Saints win last night shows you is what I have been saying for the last month now and that is the fact there is nobody around as dialed in as me.
You want to know how dialed in? Well I am glad you asked.
I have released 20 selections the last 4 weeks in the NFL on the website, paid and comp plays.
16-2-2.
My only two losses were getting cute with a 2-team teaser on Monday night between the Ravens and the Browns. Not wanting to lay double digits on the road on Monday night I take the Ravens down and tease the over/under number down and go over.
That is what I get for being quite. Hit the Ravens but missed the total.
My other loss was the Jags on Sunday at San Francisco. I have Jacksonville +3 1/2 and to watch them make 3 trips inside the Niners 15 yard line and get 0 points was as frustraing a thing I had ever seen.
My 2 pushes were the Lions +17 at Minnesota which fell right no the number, and I am still mad about the fact I forgot to tell you to buy the hook.
And the Niners at Green Bay fell on the number 6 and I thought twice about buying the 1/2 in that ball game as well.
You digest those numbers for a moment. This 4 week run has already reached legendary status and although it's no where close to my record of 17 straight super bowls, 16-2-2 isn't exactly chop liver.
Get used to this folks. Get used to it.
I said a month ago I would have the last laugh. Always do. And the bottom line is who is laughing now?
I will tell you who. Me and everyone who stuck with me and everyone who has come back to me.
Hope you enjoyed the Saints last night. More good stuff to come.
10 DIME - GOLDEN STATE-DENVER UNDER - I met George Karl once.
It was years ago while he was head coach of the Milwaukee Bucks, and it was right after they played the Orlando Magic in Orlando.
I went to the game with Ted Tryba and he had played in a pro-am with the head coach so after the game he comes out and meets Ted and I to say hello.
We make small talk at which point I tell him they look sluggish defensively and he says something I still find funny to this day but yet very profound to this day.
"This team couldn't guard their mothers, but a game like this allows me to get their attention."
When you are a Denver team that comes off a devasting loss to Minnesota, a one win team and you lose to them at home, trust me folks, you are not going to allow another team in their home court to outplay them.
A loss like that allows Karl to do just what he said to Tryba and me that day, I can now get their attention and believe me, he will get it.
Denver will clamp down on defense enough to bring the Golden State how power offense to a crawl from what their used to. Compare the fact that 7 of the Nuggets last 8 games have gone Under when they have allowed a 100 points the previous game.
This is a good spot for the Nuggets to refocus with a head coach who chewed some ass and a point guard in Chauncey Billups who will set the tone early.
It's one thing to lose a home game and it's an entirely different thing to lose it the way Denver did last time out.
They will refocus their efforts on defense. Golden State also tends to step off the gas after a straight up win going under 9 of the last 11 next game out.
Watch Denver come out with the defense tonight and put forth a great effort, get the foul taste out of their mouth and keep this one under the total.
FREE SELECTION - PACIFIC TIGERS
