Easy n Dirty Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 For those of you still hanging around in one of these, who are you going with this week? There are 5 games on this weekend's slate with double-digit or close to double-digit spreads: Bucs at Lions Bears at Rams Steelers hosting Bengals Cowboys hosting 49ers Broncos hosting Raiders Having already used the Steelers and Bears, I am leaning toward the Broncos myself.

Timmypg Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 I already used TB, Dal, & Den so it's Pitt for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well the Bucs and Lions game could be a trap game, but that's who I'd go with. I wouldn't ever put my games on anything in the AFC West, anything is likely to happen in this div. Just my thoughts.

Steelhead Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 My own options are DEN v OAK CHI @STL IND @SD WAS @SEA CLE v HOU I have to go with either CHI or WAS. Leaning towards CHI cause even though WAS should win I am worried about the travel to west coast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grits and Shins Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 Options I have available are TB, PIT, DEN and DAL I'm alive in two elimination pools ... I have TB in one and PIT in the other ... I am considering going PIT all the way though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I had the same thoughts - I don't like to play divisional rivalries if I can help it, and I don't necessarily love the way the Broncos match up with the Raiders either, with the Raiders being vulnerable to the run but pretty good against the pass, and the Broncos being down to their fifth RB. The saving grace to me is that the Raiders cannot score...except seemingly everyone scores on the Broncos. I have some reservations about the Bucs/Lions - the Bucs are a much tougher team at home - true of everyone I guess, but last two times they hit the road they barely beat the Chiefs in a agme they had no business winning, and they lost to a Cowboys squad led by Brad Johnson. And the Lions have been more competitive lately in 3 of their last 4 - they laid an egg against Jacksonville, but were close in games against Chicago, Carolina and Washington. I don't really like my options that much this weekend - I like Pittsburgh tonight best of all but already used the Steelers. I didn't consider the Colts, Redskins or Browns in my thought process so far, might have to take a closer look at those games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimmy_22 Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 I have most of the options above - I'm taking the Cowboys at home versus SF. TO is ready for a rebound game along with the rest of the crew. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
