Gdawg Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 Ray Lewis is now a game time decision as well. I stand by BUF +3. I could be wrong, but I don't see how the Ravens win this game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gdawg Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 I hate giving up points, but I am leaning towards DAL -9, possibly buying them down. Any thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mojo Rising Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 (edited) I hate giving up points, but I am leaning towards DAL -9, possibly buying them down. Any thoughts? I like it! Vikes will be without Dwight Smith, which will create some holes and the Cowboys will exploit them immediately and often. Also should be a long day for Tarvaris.......actually should be a long day for the whole Vikes team in general.

Steeltown Dre Posted October 21, 2007 Author Share Posted October 21, 2007 Brandon Lang SUNDAY IMPORTANT NOTE I made a MAJOR mistake when entering my selections today. When I originally posted my plays, I had as my second 20 Dime teaser the following: Bengals - Reduce the price of the favorite Eagles - Reduce the price of the favorite Now, that is what I wanted you to play. But, when I returned and later put in my analysis, for some stupid, stupid reason, I told you to use the 6 points and reduce the total of the Cincy-Jets game and then play the over. Truth be told, that was going to be the original part of the teaser but more I thought about the game, I just thought there was no way that Cincy loses at home to a Jets team that has no pass defense and that Carson Palmer just shreds a NY defense that has six sacks the entire season. My problem is that some of you returned to the site and saw two different teasers. Being stupid and making a careless mistake is one thing but I cannot foresake my integrity. If you're reading this for the FIRST time, I want you to play the teaser as follows: Bengals - Reduce the price of the favorite Eagles - Reduce the price of the favorite But, understand this - to maintain my integrity, and since some customers so both the correct and incorrect versions, I'm going to force myself to win both the right and wrong teasers in order to collect the 20 dimes of profit. Anything less and I'm taking a loss. 30 DIME EAGLES 20 DIME 6-POINT TEASERS NUMBER 1 Giants - Reduce the price of the favorite Redskins - Reduce the price of the favorite NUMBER 2 Bengals - Reduce the price of the favorite Eagles - Reduce the price of the favorite 15 DIME Bucs/Lions OVER 10 DIME Bills Dolphins Chiefs 5 DIME Chiefs/Raiders UNDER Steelers Free Pick - Steelers/Broncos OVER Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steeltown Dre Posted October 21, 2007 Author Share Posted October 21, 2007 For those who like to fade the "public" Right now, from the contributing books, I'm seeing 67% of the Spread and 95% of the ML picks on KC over Oak. The highest ML % of any game this week. It seems no one wants to take Oakland this week. I usually make my plays and do consider public action. I don't typically make a play just because of the public, however. My best system is considering a 4 point Oak win, whereas my underacheiving and underdog system is predicting a KC win. I'm strongly considering an Oak play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mojo Rising Posted October 21, 2007 Share Posted October 21, 2007 Dre, Im hating the skins now.....8 points seem too much to me.......what do u think? Im playing, confidently: Bills +3 Fins +16 Steelers -3.5 Cowboys -9.5 Lions -2.5 wish you all luck this week!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rattsass Posted October 21, 2007 Share Posted October 21, 2007 I see a lot of people taking the Dolphins and the points. And I just don't understand the logic. I do understand that this is a divisional game in which the Patriots typically struggle. I understand that the Patriots lost this matchup last year. But lets get real. The Dolphins just dumped their best receiver. The Patriots have won every game by 17 or more, including last weeks road spanking of a team far superior to the Dolphins. The Patriots are perfect against the spread despite being huge favorites since week 2. I guess the "sharp" money is on the huge home dog, but I for one won't try to buck the streak. It is insane to lay heavy lumber against any home team. I understand that. But if ther was ever a game to do so, this would be the one. Best of luck to those bucking the trend today.

Sometimes it's not as much loving or hating a play, it's finding better value plays on the board. I think the Skins win. I don't know if it will be 8 or more. I think it could be, but like other plays better. I like several of your plays. I'll post mine now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steeltown Dre Posted October 21, 2007 Author Share Posted October 21, 2007 Favs: Pitt, Oak Dogs: Buf, TB, Jac Teaser: NYG/Was That's my offical card for now... a couple under plays as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steeltown Dre Posted October 21, 2007 Author Share Posted October 21, 2007 I realize I'm going against 2 of the "bye week system plays" as outlined here: http://forums.thehuddle.com/index.php?s=&a...t&p=2238673 So we'll see how that turns out. Also, Mojo - if you already have Was -8, I'd let it ride. I don't like Ari enough to make me advise you to change the pick. It's just that I like some other plays better. Also, just an FYI w/ the Steelers. A very sharp guy is heavily on Den. I happen to like Pit, and it's my play, but I'm not going to go any heavier than normal.

Gdawg Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 And they still have. I put them in for a VERY low wager today (1/2 unit}, mostly because a PATS fan friend of mine talked me into it...about two minutes before kickoff. Man, what a team. Best I've ever seen. I'm headed down to DC country next week, going to bet the Pats and give the points and watch the Foreskin fans cry. I love the tears of unfathomable sadness, oh yeah, bring it on, Redskins lose, I cover, it's a beautiful thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steeltown Dre Posted October 22, 2007 Author Share Posted October 22, 2007 Favs: Pitt, OakDogs: Buf, TB, Jac Teaser: NYG/Was That's my offical card for now... a couple under plays as well. "Officially" went 2-3 yesterday. Knew that Pit game wasn't to be taken lightly, but still thought Pit would get the win. By the looks of it, some of you did very well, like GDawg and Mojo. A couple of my unders hit, as my posted "same side" totals went 3-1: Atl/NO Under TB/Det Under Cin/NYJ Under StL/Sea Under Also my best total which was Was/Ari over did hit, although I only played it lightly (and only after learning that Warner would in fact play). Also, and I can't say it enough, in a SNF game or any big game, I usually will play live betting or halftime betting. At the half, the 2nd half total was 20 points and I also took Pittsburgh to score more than 13 points in the 2nd half. I played both of those and (over) and won both. Live or halftime betting really helps if your initial bet is looking a little injured. I'm going to be out of contact for a few days but will be back on Wednesday w/ some more insights. Still got Jax on tap for tonight. Hope tonight goes better than yesterday for my "official" plays, though overall w/ my Skins/Ari over, 2 unders winning and 1 under losing, and my 2nd half Steelers/Broncos action, I still had an alright (though not nearly as great as some on here) day. Good luck tonight, and if someone has some thoughts to post in the Week 8 thread before Wed, feel free to start it up whenever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
