    I understand how the Saints dominated the Jets and Sanchez had a very bad game
    and he really looked like a rookie.The Dolphins are not in the same league as the Saints offensively or Defensively I think the Jets D can Dominate the front line take
    away the run and force Henne to throw the ball this will lead to disaster for the Fins.
    The Bills suck they have no D don't let last week fool you the Jets are the real deal
    we should be happy they lost so we can cash in on the line for this game .
    NFL 8-5 + 5.97




    The difference between stupidity and genius is that genius has its limits.

      good stuff early this week, just starting to look at lines now, have a few first impressions.....

      Cowboys -8 - everyone saw the boys get beat by a denver team that we thought was not as good as its 3-0 record had indicated and that its victories were more of a product of poor oponents as opposed to great play. So the questions is, are the boys that bad or is denver the real deal? IMO books are making a statment this week favoring the boys over a TD in kansas city (always a tough place to play even with the terrible chiefs team). I am def. not backing the Chiefs but don't know if i have the stones to back romo on the road. IMO dallas has to stick to the run game and stop abandoning early when they fall behind. Initial lean with the boys, will debate a small play.

      Ravens -8.5 - another one of those games i think books are making a stand on. Ravens off a dissapointing loss to NE comming home against the surprising divisional bengals. Def. think the bengals running game struggles this week and im not sure ive seen enough out of palmer this year that leads me to believe he can throw on the ravens. That leaves the bengals d with the tough task of keeping this one close witch i think they can do. Lean towards the under right now.

      Giants -14.5 - line has come down a bit with news of eli not practicing witch i really like to see. I think im going to be on the gmen regardless off who is behind center and lay the big number. This is more of a play on what i think the giants defense is going to be able to do against a terrible oakland offense. If eli doesn't go then its not like the giant offense is going to need to heavily rely on david carr to carry the team.

      Falcons/49ers - initial lean was with the falcons comming off the bye but the more i look into the game the more im unsure. Atl has a pretty tough schedule the rest of the way and I think this is a huge game for both teams and there potential playoff aspirations. I could really make a case for playing both sides so will prob stay away. anyone from SF have thoughts on playing a solid opponent without Gore? Can Glen Coffee carry the load and will Sean Hill be able to throw the 9ers back in the game if they fall behind early? havn't seen enough of them this year to know.

      Jets -2 def. agree with the post regarding the jets low number against the dolphins. Public hammering NY as well. would love to see some trickery out of the fins from the wild cat this week, throwing with r. brown a few times maybe to burn the blitzing jets. will at least make for some interesting entertainment. prob. another no play or a small dolphins ML play if any.

        After watching the first 4 weeks of the season, I think we can conclude that Cleveland, Washington, Kansas City, Oakland, Tampa Bay, and St. Louis are stunningly atrocious teams (I've left Detroit off the list b/c they seem to be progressing rather than regressing). This week two of these teams are on the road and getting less than 7 points.

        Buffalo -6 vs Cleveland
        Carolina -4 vs Washington

        Sure Buffalo and Carolina are showing themselves not to be very good teams, but there's a difference between not very good and pitiful. Carolina's rush defense is a bit of a concern, but if you flip-flop those schedules I'm sure Carolina would be no worse than 2-2 and Washington would probably be 0-3 as well. These would be the same teams with different records and Carolina would be giving 6 or 7 minimum.

        In Cleveland's last 4 away games, they've been outscored 119-28. Curious to see what effect the Edwards trade has in the locker room. Buffalo plays hard at home, and I have to think there's a sense of urgency with Buffalo, especially with the upcoming schedule. Buffalo has to have it, and I think Cleveland lays down on the road the rest of the year. Oddly enough, Cleveland's last road win was last year, in Buffalo.

          As far as dogs go, I don't see any live ones in the early games, atleast with concern to the moneyline. I think Seattle is a good play if Hasselbeck plays and it looks like he will. Jacksonville can be had through the air.

          I also like New England in this spot. Denver's defense is playing great and I think they'll do well again, but I'm not backing Orton here. He has yet to throw a pick on the year, but he received a gift on their first score against Dallas, which should have been returned for a pick 6. Denver isn't even averaging 20 ppg and they've already played Cle and Oak in 2 of their first 4 games. To win Denver will need to hold NE under 14, b/c I don't think Denver can move it consistently. Under 41 looks great
