Indy -9 at NYJets, o/u 46.5

Its no secret that I'm high on the Jets this year. With that said, this is a tough game to pick because it is easy to envision a blowout. Nevertheless I'll stick with my preseason call and take the Jets. I say they keep the scoring low and cover the spread. Jets +9(2 units), under 46.5(1 unit)

SD -2.5 at Baltimore, o/u 33.5

Neither of these teams have played any real competition yet. I just don't understand why SD is favored on the road here though. Rivers has yet to see a quality defense. I think he'll struggle here. The Ravens will score a defensive TD. Balt +2.5(4 units), over 33.5(2 units)

Min +1 at Buf, o/u 34.5

Meh...tough game to call. I really do like Minnesota, but Buffalo isn't an easy place to play. Low scoring game. I think the experience of Brad Johnson pulls it out in the 4th quarter. Min +1(1 unit), under 34.5(1 unit)

Dallas -9.5 at Tenn, o/u 37

Too many points here. I was all over Tennessee last week, and I'll ride that streak. Tenn +9.5(4 units), over 37(1 unit)

SF +7 at KC, o/u 40.5

Another line that confuses me. KC has shown nothing this year. I know that they're coming off the bye week and KC is a tough place to play, but still. I'll go with SF. I like the over as we know SF can score and I think Larry Johnson will finally have a huge game. SF +7(2 units), over 40.5(2 units)

NO + 7 at Car, o/u 41.5

Emotional letdown? Nah...NO is simply a good team this year. This line was clearly made according to last year's results. New Orleans is too respectable to be getting a touchdown here. NO +7(3 units), over 41.5(1 unit)

Ariz +7 at Atl, o/u 41

Atlanta was just embarrassed on national TV. I think they blow Arizona out here. Warner has no confidence anymore and will fumble a few times against a good defense. I see something like a 27-7 win here. Atl -7(6 units), under 41(1 unit)

Mia -3.5 at Hous, o/u 40.5

Miami continues to live off of preseason hype. Last week I faded them heavily as they were a ridiculous 10 point favorite. And this week they are a 3.5 pt favorite on the road??? People, Miami is simply not that good of a team! Houston gets their first victory here. Hous +3.5(2 units), under 40.5(1 unit)

Det +5.5 at StL, o/u 43.5

Detroit just looks horrible. StL is a lot better at home as evidenced by them beating Denver. I very much like the Rams here. Both these teams have made additions on defense, so I like it to be lower scoring too. StL -5.5(5 units), under 43.5(1 unit)

NE +6 at Cincy, o/u 46.5

NE needs this game more than Cincy. When is the last time that NE didn't play well in a game they needed? It doesn't happen often. Cincy will have a bit of a letdown, and I wouldn't be surprised to see NE win this one striaght up. NE +6(1 unit), over 46.5(1 unit)

Jac -3 at Wash, o/u 34

I'm a big Redskins homer, but I think that Portis makes all the difference in the world. Big game for both teams, so it should be hard hitting and well coached. I think Washington shows everyone that they are for real this week. Wash +3(1 unit), under 34(1 unit)

Cle -2.5 at Oak, o/u 33.5

Oakland has had the bye week to prepare while Cleveland just lost a heart breaker and is banged up. Oakland isn't as horrible as people think. Randy Moss will blow up one of these weeks. Oak +2.5( 3 units), over 33.5(1 unit)

Seat +3.5 at Chi, o/u 34.5

Wow...great game here. Seattle has clearly shown to be much better at home than on the road. I really don't like that extra 1/2 point, but I'm going to go with Chicago. In a surprise, I think this will be a higher scoring game than people expect as well. Chi -3.5(1 unit), over 34.5(1 unit)

GB +11 at Philly, o/u 48

Brett Favre on MNF? I could easily see him coming up huge. Or I could easily see Philly getting up 3 TDs and then GB playing hard until the end and covering by scoring meaningless points late. 11 points is a lot and the Eagles still have beaten nobody this year. GB +11(3 units), over 48(1 unit)

There you have it. Best of luck to everyone this week!

 
Nice selections this week, I agree on most. Worried about Minny & St. Louis though. Im praying youre right about the GB over, I need that Favre to Driver combo workin OT this week!

 
You make it sound as if there's no chance the Chiefs cover the spread, and then bet just 2 units on the Niners keeping within 7.

 
I don't like the Jets here. Jacksonville controled the tempo of their game in Indy with a strong run game and solid D. I don't see the Jets doing the same thing.

eta: Completely agree on GB covering. Philly's secondary is still decimated, and the emergence of Jennings has taken alot of pressure off of Driver and Favre. GB either covers in a shootout, or backdoors the game.

Also, don't we already have a gambling thread in the FFA?

Only one I'd guarantee is the Min/Buf UNDER.

Folks, the MN defense is for REAL.

Buffalo's defense is pretty good too, and besides, MIN's offensive is slow and methodic. Boring, if you will.

This game reeks of 15 - 10.

 
Interesting stuff. Amazing that I picked nearly the opposite as you. Probably why you're the one doing this, and not me, and why I don't bet on sports... :bag:

STL is a lock this week. This is the one game you should throw a couple of $100's on.

I like the pick (NE Homer), but seriously...AND the OVER?!?Don't the Pats need to control the clock and get better performance out of their secondary to win?I would think, optimistically,NE 21-27Cin 13-20making over 46.5 a stretch...
 
Was it just me or did the record and the +64 units seem unbelievable? After looking at your links I think that the 64 units seem a little misleading. First, this doesn't appear to include the vig and secondly 55 of the 64 units came on a single bet that looks like basically a typo (I realize that for the record you stood behind the 55 units before the game in question, but unless I'm mistaken, you didn't really bet 55 units on a single game, did you?).

Are these games you are actually betting, or are you just picking them?

Still liked reading the picks and the analysis, though. I just think some sort of disclaimer next to you overall record would be nice.

 
actually think I made a mistake. Only +12 units on the day...sorry. ROI is now +22.22%
