  I once took a few bets back in the day myself...one of them would pick the obvious and flip a coin on the rest lol...some of the guys with all the data did well, most of them were usually  lets say "turned over to the collection department"(big bettors and chase their losses)....when it was all said and done over  years there were very few big winners overall...all it takes is one key injury on gameday or 1 official having a bad day, and the spreads mean nothing, so flip a coin and have fun with it....

  Thanks for your picks FatDan!  Since I have a degree in Computer Engineering, I think I'm going to stick with the binary method.  It seems as good as any I've heard so far, plus it gives me a chance to practice converting a "decimal" number to binary!

   

  For the rest that haven't made a pick, I have to turn mine in tomorrow ... so I'll take your picks right up to when I won't anymore ... later tonight.  Take a "Wag" at it ... there's a free sleeve of balls to the winner.  As they say on the blackjack table, you can't win without cards!

  From one nerd to another ... very nice!

  Me ... I would have inserted a '00100000' for punctuation ... but I'm a tad anal.

  He sent them to my message e-mail and is now off to work.  Good luck Ian.

  I'm going to give this another 2 ½ hours from this post, then put together the final consensus.  Any picks after that time won't be eligible for the free golf balls.
