For decades we have taken pride in being so far ahead of the curve with handicapping techniques, yet allowed the flexibility of the website to be stuck in the early part of the century.

We no longer are going to simply allow the best product to sell itself but also have a modern site to match. Most importantly, it will be mobile friendly. We also want to give clients more capability to for example buy picks by time of day. Example: just 1 ET NFL, just 4 ET, etc.

Hopefully just after the NCAA Tournament and long before football season we can unveil at OffshoreInsiders.com. In the interim, enjoy the best product. We continue to enhance that too by purchasing systems with ROIs above 30 percent and/or units won in the triple digits.

And we just keep winning. I have been in the business 28 years and have seen many touts come and go. We have had some of the best betting seasons every publically recorded in the history of every sport, college and pro football and baseball counted separately. This is certainly in our Top 10 football.

Before the season started, I did something you never heard from me before. I bragged about how we bought and traded some of the best computer systems on earth. And I just keep effing winning. Yes, the best ever truly got better. Surely you were not on the outside looking in of Joe Duffy’s Picks were you? All clients of Joe Duffy’s Picks at OffshoreInsiders.com got this:

Wise Guy

SEATTLE -5.5 San Francisco

Teams that are winless in road games and are road favorites in game 6 or later are 19-4 since 2007. Seattle has a deceptively bad record. Seahawks four losses were at St. Louis, at Green Bay, at Cincinnati and at Carolina. Those are losses to 3-of-5 undefeated teams and 2-of-3 teams with six wins.

Over the year first year head coaches on Thursday Night Football have been great fades. This is especially when someone has not been a head coach previously as is the case with Jim Tomsula.

The Niners are all but assured of coming out flat in this one off a rare quality effort.

Georgia Southern-Appalachian State UNDER 62

I especially expect Georgia Southern with their one-dimensional offense to struggle overall to App State. However they are too good of a rushing team to be completely shut down, so I expect them to have long sustained drives that eat up the clock.

GA Southern was shutout by the best defense they faced all season Clemson. Of course App State is not as dominant, but is the second best defense they have faced. They allow just 11.8 points per game to teams averaging 20.3 on 3.2 yards per rushing attempt to 3.5 and 5.9 yards per pass to 6.9. The matchups indicate decent success on the ground but little in the air for Southern as they get a mere 5.7 yards per pass to teams normally allowing 8.

APPALACHIAN STATE -6 Georgia Southern

We have a super strong momentum angle that favors App State that is 666-492-26. Yes I am very aware that Georgia Southern also has momentum, but I ran several queries that asked if their opponent is coming off five straight blowout wins, does it cancel out the angle? Nope, it does not. In fact, most raised the winning percentage, albeit with a substantially smaller sample size.

The Mountaineers lead the conference in total defense, while Latrell Gibbs is tied for the conference lead with five interceptions, including two he returned for touchdowns. Ronald Blair is second in the conference with four sacks.

That is bad news for a Georgia Southern offense that struggles to pass. Appalachian State is the better team because of defense and a more balanced offense. ASU was the favorite to win the conference after showing drastic improvement with young players last season, finishing the year 6-0 straight up. Clearly they are for real and ready to make a statement in a revenge game. But App State is substantially better than when they met last year and playing at home.
