Quote : | " San Diego -2.5 Coming off a bye week, should be ready to take on the Ravens. The Ravens D is strong but their offense is very weak and I just can't see them beating a far superior Chargers team even at home.
Cleveland -2.5 I don't think people realize just how bad the Raiders are. Even at home coming off a bye week they shouldn't be able to beat a Cleveland team that is hungry for their first win. Charlie Frye vs. Andrew Walter, they're gonna be talking about this game for years to come.
New Orleans +7.5 @ Carolina. I think New Orleans is due for a letdown and Carolina is coming around a little but 7.5? Carolina has no o-line and hasn't shown they should be more than a TD favorite at this point over anyone. I could see NO offense giving Carolina some trouble." |
Im gonna add Jacksonville -2.5 to this. I know im really eating up road teams so far this year and thats usualyl dangerous... but teams like Washington have got to prove they are competitive this year before i stop going against them.10/1/2006 11:35:13 AM |

this was the first week...here was the order
1st Pick: Cincy -6 vs NE, TBD 2nd Pick (Me): Ohio State -7 vs Iowa, WIN 3rd Pick: Cincy Bearcats (dont recall spread) vs Miami OH, WIN 4th Pick: Michigan -9.5 @ Minnesota, WIN
so the guy who took the bengals is sweating it today...the pressure is on immediately. If they win, we pocket $270 and essentially have free parlays the rest of the season. If they lose this guy is out 20 bucks next week and will hear it all week10/1/2006 11:40:13 AM |

^^ I'd probably kill that guy for picking Cincy -6.
Laying SIX points against the Patriots???? That's a ridiculous bet.... you tell the guy to come up with one pick and that's the best he can do?
I mean granted i lost the San Diego bet, but at least that looked good all game... sometimes bets just lose at the end....
The Pats are famous for coming out strong after a bad loss... 10/1/2006 6:47:21 PM |

dammit i threw that Jax pick in at the end and it cost me big... i shoud have figured they might be running out of steam...
I just thought Wash's offense last week was fluky but maybe it wasnt...
8-6-1, still riding the money train but its getting thinner.... 10/1/2006 7:36:59 PM |

Alright fellas, Im launching another play on Seattle +3.5 tonight.
They dont really need Alexander he isn't the key to that team anyway... he's a good back dont get me wrong but they are still strong offensively without him and Morris doesnt stink at all.
The Bears havent been able to run on anyone, i like Seattle D to dominate them tonight. Grossman should struggle against his first tough defense.
Take the Seahawks. If you take the bears dont whine about it later, thats a dumb bet.

It's halftime 20-6 Bears.
Hasslebeck threw terrible picks and Seattle had ZERO pass rush.
Game isn't over, i still think the Seahawks can pull off a backdoor cover here for me. 10/1/2006 9:52:45 PM |

^^^^^ hows that working out for you? 10/1/2006 10:18:57 PM |
rallydurham Suspended 11317 Posts user info edit post |
Not well.
That's why I aim for 60% and not 100%.
Im not happy with myself obviously. I laid out an easy 2-1 week initially and then tried to sneak in a Jax play that backfired. Then i forced a play on Seattle to make up for the Jax one.
Elite handicappers dont force last minute plays. Theres a reason you didnt take them in the first place.... 2 mistakes and i paid for both of them. Live & learn. 10/1/2006 10:23:15 PM |

1-1 this week with Phily -11 for tonight, happy with my picks even with San Diego's loss.
Neek week's early lines I am liking...
Buffalo +11 at Chicago. I think Buffalo's defense is a lot more like Minnesota's then Seattle's - I don't see this game being high scoring and the Bills should be able to keep it close enough.
Minnesota -6 at home vs Detroit. Minnesota's offense has been struggling a bit, but then again they've been facing tougher defenses then the dream-crushed Lions. That said, Detoit will sneak a suprise win in sometime in the next few weeks, but as long as I can dodge that whammy Minnesota should be fine.
San Diego -3.5 at home vs Pittsburgh. Even though they let me down at the end this week vs Baltimore, they played well in the game, and I think Baltimore may even have a better offense then Pittsburgh at this point with Ben's struggles, and certainly they have the better defense. So San Diego should bounce back with a win.
Kansas City -3 at Arizona Can't expect too much out of Lienart in his first start, and Huard is playing better and won't face too much resistance against a Cardinal Defense allowing 144 rushing yards a game.

I typically don't bet on NC State games, everytime I have I have lost. But I have some freeroll to give away so might as well lose it on State.

10.5 is a lot of points on the road considering how weak FSU's offense is.
I kinda like under 39 points scored....
I'm pretty sure we can't score, I just dont know how much they can... 10/5/2006 11:31:36 AM |
