    Agree on New Orleans Daws. The Saints are definitly the situational play and there is good value with them.

    Also Agree with a Miami let down after getting screwed last week. Bengals have played to the level of their competition all year and are in a must win. ( As is Miami IMO). Like the home team in a pick the winner and think the over is a solid play as well.

    Leaning towards Seattle +2.5 right now as well. The addition of Lynch has given Seattle a pretty good two back system with him and the speedier Forsett. Emergence of Mike Williams forces the D to respect the avg. passing game and I think it's a good spot to fade the Raiders off of a huge dog road win. Seattle on the road is a scary back, but they did win in Chicago a few weeks ago.

      what the hell is the public doing backing STL at such a large clip this week? Yea they have won all of their games at home, but not really sold on them being ready to be a fav. This is the first game all yr they are favorites. Deangelo Williams may not play this week, but Jonathan stewart has ran well in his 3 starts in his career. Matt Moore at qb really is a totally different animal than claussen. Anyone else liking CAR? Possible hangover with STL last second loss last week to TB.

        books throwing OAK out as a weak -2.5 pt fav? Always a solid bet to fade the team that scored the most pts the week before. Can anyone stomach SEA on the road again? I backed them in the bears game, but I dont want to push my luck. Can't think of a reason to play OAK though.

          I like GB at +6. New York is good but the when the Packers lose its usually by a slim margin. I don't the Jets will cover so I just may take the points and the over looks good too.

          Some will argue that they barely beat Minnesota but that's a huge rivalry game and both teams went all out. I think if Rodgers is on this week it will be a close one.

          I want to take Miami but can they win four on the road? The Bengals are pathetic but road dogs are kinda iffy.

              Been slacking big time with reasoning, crazy busy last couple weeks but here goes



              Bills/KC- Line inflated due to KC blowout last week imo. Though a case could be made that either team could have a letdown, I think there is value with Buffalo. Fitzpatrick is finally getting a little protection and some good wr play from Stevie Johnson, but the defense still can't stop the run. Chiefs IMO overrated big time, good chance they lose the next three. I don't know why this total isn't higher... almost looks too easy at 46. I think I'm taking a shot at the ML here......


              Panthers/Rams- Tons of injuries on both sides, Rams a bit more banged up and SJax broken finger would be my biggest concern. Would lean under but I really don't have a good enough feel to make a play on this one.....


              Broncos/49ers- Broncos lost 3 straight and are off a beatdown, sf off yet another loss with Moore throwing for over 300 yards. IMO SF being favored is just a reaction to the margin of victory last week. I have no interest in playing a bad team as a fave. Lean Broncos here as IMO they are just the better team.


              Packers/Jets- Entire world is down on the Packers (even though they beat the Vikings last week) and everyone is on the Jets off a bye. Jets outgained last two games but managed to pull out wins. Minny showed the Jets can be thrown on, and I still think Sanchise makes bad decisions. I can't get this feeling of wanting to play the Pack out of my head. +225 could be enough for me to take a shot.....


              Jags/Cowboys- Kitna should be able to manage the offense this week, and the Jaguars don't have the weapons to fully exploit the Cowboys horrid secondary. Still lean over here though as I think the Boys score this week..... Boys team total o24.5:thumbs:


              Chargers- this is their season. For real. If they turn the ball over they lose, and if not I think this is a 10 pt win. Scary play after watching them gift wrap the win for the Pats last week, but I think they are the right side here...

              Bucs/Cardinals- Not sure the right team is favored here. The Bucs can't stop the run but the Cardinals don't seem to want to run. The Bucs IMo are the better all around team here with a pretty solid pass defense. Bucs ML


              Seahawks/Raiders- Possible letdown mode from Raiders, but I think they are the better team and I will never be on the Hawks away from home. Lean Raiders but I may just sit this one out.....
              Champagne for my real friends, real pain for my sham friends...

                looks like im rolling with houston tonight. arian foster will get his again. Indy without clark would worry me if I had money on them. Colts will prob try to establish the run first then hit up wayne later but i think houston has too much fire power on offense for this colts d. They always play indy close too.
