LAST WEEK

Best Bets (1-1)(-0.30 units)
Strong Plays (1-1)(-0.20 units)
Regular Plays (2-0)(+2.00 units)

Total (4-2)(+1.50 units)

OPINIONS (3-2) (just for fun, no units)

FOR THE YEAR

Best Bets (5-5)(-1.50 units)
Strong Plays (5-5)(-1.00 units)
Regular Plays (5-4)(+0.60 units)

Total (15-14)(-1.90 units)

OPINIONS (8-9)(no units, just for fun)

That makes two weeks in a row that I have come out on the plus side in the nfl. Maybe this is the year I finally win in the pro’s. It has been a while for me winning in the pro’s. Of course I am down in the ncaa’s so far this year. This might be a year where I lose in college and win in the nfl, that would be a first.

I think this is a really tough card this week, but I am still going to play my normal amount of plays anyway. Sometimes when I feel really great about nfl games and I think it is a sure thing they always lose. Maybe this week since I am not crazy about them, I can pick some winners. Lets give it a shot.

Miami +10 vs New England (best bet)…………One thing that I have figured out about the nfl is that you cannot figure it out. Miami looked bad losing to (don’t laugh) Houston. New England goes into Cincinnati and kicks their butts. Maybe New England should be the 18 point favorite instead of the colts this week. Something tells me the dolphins will give the patriots all they can handle this week. I say the dolphins lose a heartbreaker in the fourth quarter this weekend. Pats 24-20.

Philadelphia -1.5 vs Dallas (best bet)………….Of course much is being made about TO’s return to Philly this weekend. As much as I hate the guy, he is a great player. Philly will not stop him, they may not even slow him down. It takes more than one player to beat the Eagles at home. I think TO might get some personal revenge and have a great game, but the eagles win get the W. With the point spread being this low all we need is a win. I would be shocked to see a one point game. Dallas/TO might win the battle, but Philadelphia wins the war. Philly 27-20.

Tampa Bay +6.5 vs New Orleans (strong play)………..Everybody remembers the Saints last home game on Monday night and how good they looked. If you go by that, doesn’t the Saints look too easy in this one. Tampa Bay does not look good at all and they are only getting 6.5. Something is up here. Tampa wins this one outright.

Buffalo +10 vs Chicago (strong play)………..Everybody talking about how great the Bears are now. Remember everybody talked about Cincy last week as well and look what happened to them. I am not saying the bills are going to go into Chicago and beat them, but ten is a lot of points. I think Buffalo can stay within single digits in this one.

Tennessee +18 vs Indianapolis (regular play)…………..I will take any, and I mean any nfl team getting this many points and I don’t care where or who they are playing. How can the colts even take this game seriously? Win or lose, I have to grab all those points even though this could easily be a 45-3 score.

Giants -5 vs Washington (regular play)………….I am just not that impressed with the redskins for some reason. The Giants are due to blow somebody out. I think Manning has a great game and the Giants win this one rather easily.

OPINIONS (just for fun, no units)

Green Bay +3 vs St Louis……….The packers have to win sometime and this is as good of a chance as any.

Oakland +3 vs San Fran……….The raiders have to win sometime and this is as good of a chance as any.

Steelers +3 vs San Diego………The steelers have to win sometime and this is as good a chance as any. (just kidding)….I just cannot picture Pittsburgh being 1-3. As much as I hate them and want them to lose, this is the kind of game they come alive and win. Steelers outright.

Going for a third week in a row in the nfl, but don’t get your hopes up. Back on Monday with the Monday night game.

Good Luck Everybody!!

gl man, i like the tb and miami bets....mia has been horrible but 10 is a lot and i think they can make enough plays to keep it close...the tb line is high bc simms is out for tb and gradkowski is making his first start and is an untested rookie, that being said tb defense should be enough to keep it into the 4th q and give them a chance to win so i like the td spread

I like the Buffalo pick and the Philly Pick although unfortunately they arent' in my unit schedule for tomorrow. This is what I'm doing for tomorrow

#225 New York Jets +7 (must find a +7 line even though I think they will all out win!) -- 3 Units

Buffalo vs. Chicago Over 34 ------- 4 units
(damn near positive on this one)

Jets vs Jags Over 38 ------- 2 units

and thee shits and giggles of the week is:

Jets Moneyline +260 2 units...
Matt Jones, All-Pro Stroud and Wiley are all out for tomorrows game! This looks like a perfect time to score an "upset".

I also like Steelers over Chargers but not betting on them unless I score big with all my previous games, then I'll play a unit on Steelers Moneyline.

I also like the Steelers to win SU on Sunday Night nshtt.

BOL on your card Mark....

I like your picks except Oakland, I think the Raiders are awful and the 49ers will be angry after the blowout loss to KC. Good luck though!
