NFL Week 3 Discussion/Circle (bleep)

[Stifler's Mom]

I'm too scurred to play the Bills, lol. No play for me, unless Lang unleashes a huge play on NE or something, then i might fade him :laughing: Otherwise, a no go for me.

** Another game I wanted to mention is the Colts vs Steelers. One of the squarest games I can remember from what I'm reading, and another perfect example of one team couldn't be more overrated and one more underrated. Yea, the Colts have sucked ass, but the Colts catching +11.5 at home? They had it coming at Houston from all the heartbreakers Manning put on Houston over the years, and while more competitive last week, they still lost @ home to the "feeble" Browns.

Steelers look to be not nearly as good this year as last though with that UGLY loss to Baltimore, and while a 24-0 win vs Seattle, I thought that game would get even more out of hand, and it would have in years past when the Steelers were "super bowl caliber" in the same spot vs the same team.

The Colts will get some stuff figured out. It's not like Collins can't play at all (even at his advanced age) and there is still mucho talent around him at the skill positions.

My point is that I don't think that the Colts are as bad as people think and I don't think the Steelers aren't as good as people are giving them credit for just because they whipped up on Seattle.

I love the +11.5 (SIA) against a team who, from the previous two games results, doesn't really figure to light up the scoreboard either, and while a but surprising, wouldn't be a total shock to me if Indy pulled off the outright victory if they are able to make a few big plays on either side of the ball, which they have the talent to do.

Of course they, like anyone else, could **** the bed, turn the ball over multiple times, and get blown out....but what I'm saying is I think the number is drastically in their favor, and if they play a half decent game, they should cover it.

At first glance:

New England -9 @ Buffalo

- cardinal sin to take road chalk in division game but for some reason I think there will be plenty of love for Buffalo given what they've accomplished the past two weeks. That being said, I think NE's D can be had but against teams that don't have elite Ds, they will/can run up the score. I put this one out there because I can see a lot of people backing buff with this type of line. I usually look to fade NE but here, I might consider eating that chalk.

Miami +2.5 @ Cleveland

- I think Miami's better than their 0-2 suggests. They hung with NE for 3.5 quarters, and got beat by a Houston team that's always expected to make some noise. I expect them to beat Cleveland on the road. Tough test, but I think they're the better team here.

Detroit @ Minnesota +3.5

- Love the Lions this year, but giving points on the road in a division game, and Minnesota is still a good team just finding ways to lose. I think Minny wins this one huge. I didn't expect TB to come back yesterday (I had them) and I didn't see the game, but seemed to me, Minny dominated early on, which I know means nothing for the ending score but just because Detroit beat TB and TB beat Minny doesn't mean this will happen here. It prolly will, but I like Minny in this spot.

New York Jets @ Oakland +3.5

- I watched some parts of the Oakland/Buff game, and Jason Campbell looks better than anyone can hope. At least to me, he isn't quite there yet, but he certainly looks comfortable, and I like Oakland in this spot v. the Jets. Jets prone to TOs, and despite what the Jags tried to do, I think Oak can run and throw on them.

Atlanta @ Tampa Bay -1.5

- On one hand, TB pulled that game out of their asses it seems like, and on the other hand, the Falcons were handed theirs with Vick going down, and some very opportunistic momentum shift, otherwise the Eagles had them dead to rights last night.

Overall, I've watched both Falcons game this year and they don't seem that good. Very inconsistent on both sides of the ball despite their talent. I'm not too sold on this one, but at first glance I like TB.

of course. 4-1 on my "suggestions"

didn't take Oak, or TB and jumped on Minny too late as it went down to +3 lol :bang:

[Q-Unit]

that being said, I hate-love being the homer here, but I think the Cowboys take this one tomorrow night. :laughing:

Reasons? None really.

- Cowboys O-line sucks
- Austin Miles is out
- Felix Jone's corpse is starting
- CBs injured and suck ass
- Dez Bryant plays every play like his life depends on it (which isn't bad but...) or that if he doesn't play hard, his bookie will take his family bar from him or break his legs? Although he's doing the latter pretty much on EVERY single play after any catch that he makes.

- Jason Garrett still the HC.
- No matter what Romo does, either he's the choke-artist or the 2nd coming of Willis Reed, never the middle with this guy, always on either extreme.

All of that being said, the one reason I still like the Cowboys?

- Rex Grossman is still in the league?
- and is he really that good?

:dunno::showtits:
