countrychuck Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 (edited) I was the first to give you the Saints last week, and I'll be the first to hand you the Falcons this week. Until Jake Delhomme proves to me he understands he's supposed to throw the ball to the players wearing the same uniform as he is, I don't see how he can lead his team to a victory - let alone keep them within 6 pts. Sure Atlanta wasn't spectacular against Miami, but Miami's defense is better than Carolina, IMO. Atlanta shouldn't have too much trouble putting up 24 pts (minimal). Figure Turner at least doubles his poor performance from Week 1 and Roddy White as well. I don't see how Carolina's offense scores more than 17 pts. Therefore, take the Falcons @ home and lay the points. I'll also recommend the Vikes -9.5 @ Detroit. Sure the Lions played the Vikes tough last year both times, but again I will go against a rookie QB making his now 2nd career start. New Orleans' defense is not good and the Lions only scored 2 TD's against them (the Lions 3rd TD was a fumble return TD). The Lions will not be able to run the ball against Minnesota (not many teams can though), so it will be up to Stafford to beat the Vikes through the air. Sure Calvin Johnson is a monster, and maybe he gets 100+ and a couple TD's - where else is the offense coming from? As long as AD's case of fumble-itis doesn't return, he will run silly - and Chester could very well hit the 100 yd mark too. This is another game where Favre can become familiar with his new teammates and won't have to worry about winning it with his arm. AD will cover this spread by himself (with help from his O-line). Take the Vikes and lay the points against the awful Lions. Thank you, may I please have another!!!

kroyrunner89 Posted September 15, 2009 Author Share Posted September 15, 2009 Definitely leaning Falcons with you early... not so sure about the Vikings yet. I'll probably just stay away from that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I'm nuts..... but as bad as Houston looked and as good as Tenn's defense is, I'll take the Titans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hollywood_69 Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 (edited) does Pitt look like a big trap to anybody else? I guess homefield advantage and expecting cutler to become cutler again. Did the bears trade for jesus at WR? jets +5 looks ok, under possible also, reasons are that the Jets defense is tough. But then there is Brady and Moss? The Pats Defense is soft like twinkie filling. Do not sleep on Sanchez he will get the job done, if not TJ and Leon will. This should go under, as we see a lot of short passes from NE and slow running from Jets managed game. Still looking at totals Right now I really like the Ravens Over 40.5. The chargers will have a depleted oline but are still hard to keep from scoring. I guess the oddsmakers have the Ravens doing most of the scoring and on the ground taking a page out of the Raiders playbook. The Raiders had wrs open all day but Russell sucks and couldn't get the rock to them. Flacco will!

Patriots game is very iffy for me, Brady looked much better in the second half of the Buffalo game, even before his two tds. Will he show up Sunday?

At first sight it looks so good to take the vikings at less than 10......but it worries me a bit because it looks too easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hollywood_69 Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 what is it now, lower? higher? I thought 5 was a good number. 6 would get more action from jets fans, and 4 may get 99% pats bettors!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought 5 was a good number. 6 would get more action from jets fans, and 4 may get 99% pats bettors!! Yeah it's Pats -3.5 now. It's interesting because the line flew that way, yet 68% of the public are on the Pats. That means that the heavy money is coming in on the Jets.

hollywood_69 Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 (edited) yea if i didnt kill my roll on college foots i may have jumped on jets, the only problem is Brady and Moss and the other weapons. I mean why else would you just trade one of the best d linemen in the league? Because you don't need him if your throwing up 40 a game like in 07 it's very hard to bet against the pats also I was thinking about the Pitt line, it might be right. Considering that polawhatever is going to be out. Think about what he brings on the defensive side, the steelers d will nowhere be the same without him. I mean he was all over the place vs Tenn last week, that's saying something considering Tenn has 1 of the fastest rbs in the league. This thought alone along with the line has me putting in forte to start, usually i dont start rbs against pitt. HMM......

Gopher Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 Raiders +3 @ Chiefs 39 Using the first game (above) as an example... The +3 means that the Raiders are being "given" 3 points, or the Chiefs are favored to win by 3. A line of -3 would mean that the team is "giving" three points, or that they are favored to win by 3. You could bet on the Raiders (+3), which basically would mean that you think they will win OR lose by two points or less... Or you could bet on the Chiefs, meaning that they win by four points or more. A Chiefs win by 3 would typically be a "push", where you don't win or lose your bet. The Over/Under total of 39 simply means that you can bet on the point total (both teams combined)... betting on the "over" would mean that you think they'll score 40 or more points, whereas betting on the "under" would mean that you think they'll score 38 or less. Hope that helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NavinRJohnson Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 Lines updated, Pats line moved by quite a bit... It would be cool if we could keep the opening line and o/u in the OP as well as the current line and o/u. Just a thought. Still studying....carry on.

kroyrunner89 Posted September 18, 2009 Author Share Posted September 18, 2009 The Pats game this week definitely is looking like the biggest trap, yet I'm having a hard time walking away from it. Does Brady's much improved second half numbers from Week 1 indicate that he's back, or did Buffalo's D just wear down? Also, how much can we read into the Jets' Week 1 dismantling of the Texans? I'm also curious to see if the Patriots will be able to stop the versatile running attack of Jones and Washington. This one is a head scratcher...

STL Fan Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 (edited) I like Rams/Skins under. Both offenses looked inept last week, and both are saying publicly they want to emphasize the run and get their RB on track.
