Other than the Cowboys, there doesn't appear to be a dominant team as of now. I’m more confident in my Colts pick than I would be in a Pats pick.

Real hard to go against the Pats. I will go Pats over Packers just to be different. Agree with Nat on the Pats part. Real hard to go against the Pats.

But as you can see, I only have him 2 spots ahead, so it's very close. If you have a Welker feel, go with your gut - better to lose with your own than someone elses. If it's PPR, then maybe I'd say Welker, but he's more a possession receiver, whereas Cotchery has upside to really blow up. Both are pretty good matchups. Yes I would.

And I hear you about me going against the grain. In order to be successful ATS, you have to go ugly sometimes on just blind faith. For instance, OF COURSE the Bengals and Lions seem like better teams than Atl and Balt., but it's just not as simple as that. They both might cover this week, but more often than not, the public (the majority) will be wrong, so if you remain consistent, you'll (hopefully) come out ahead in the end. The Jewru - I agree. Chad - Thanks man.

No one beats the book. Last year I won my pick pool. Two years ago dead last. I bet if you averaged it all out I was at 50%. There is truly no science to it.

But I always expected the Giants to divvy out the carries this year b/c 1)Jacobs is injury prone 2)it'll keep him fresh and 3) they run a lot and have 3 talented backs. I was more surprised A. Bradshaw wasn't used at all. Shocking really. Jacobs has stone hands, so they'll want others in there on third downs, but him coming out every 3-4 series completely was not good news. Still, he's the goal line guy and will always have an awesome YPC, so he'll be productive even if he only gets 65-70 percent of the carries. Maybe it'll keep him healthy too.

You're right. I'd have him at #29. But it wouldn't be that crazy if he outproduced McFadden and I should have them flip-flopped. Kritter - I should have put Fargas on there. You’re right.

Because he does us such a great service each week, it's our duty to defend him. No one who tracks their picks for profitability selects every game each week. Nor did he make any claim on his nationwide ranking as a ATS picker. Dalton obviously is comparing himself to other FANTASY writers, and the purpose of such is to help people with Pick'Em and Survival type pools, and pending whether or not it was a pool with confidence points would also have a large impact on how successful that record would be. Indeed, people who make a living (or try to) at betting football (which he doesn't), typically don't take more than 4-5 bets per week. And if you found someone who had any long term success at picking better than that, they'd be made a rediculous offer by any of the larger sports books in vegas. But for the sake of the readers, Dalton makes his call on each game, and invites us to all include input. And also he doesn't end every sentence with (...) one period is sufficient to end a sentence. Even if you had a single valid point (which you didn't) it would have been lost in your terrible grammar, punctuation, and unorganized ramblings. Also, let's see some confirmed and documented list of your track record of EVERY game from last year, and I'd be shocked if you broke 45%. Dalton, don't worry, we know you got skills. RotoWire, NFL.com, Yahoo.com all have found you worthy, I guess you can withdraw your application to write for daltonislost.com though.
