Oddsmaker Week 2 Projections...Contest Rolls On! (1 Viewer)

Cin -3I love this game. Minni has no OLine and no RBs. Their D is improved, but they'll give up enough points to make this an easy cover. Throw in some Tice, and I see 31-7.Ari PkArizona is a much better team at home then on the road, and the Rams are abysmal outside. 38-28Chi +2Chicago has a great D, and Harrington will crumble on the road. The Bears will get enough out of T.Jones to get a victory. 17-13

 
I missed the deadline last week, so this will be my first week.St. Louis - The offense will wake up for this one.Buffalo +2.5 - I believe Buffalo has the better overall team should come out with the victorySD +3 - LD will get the ball more this week and carry the load. This one should stay pretty close though.

 
I did not enter last week, so let's give this a try.....Detroit at Chicago (33) OVER. This game has averaged 37.5 at Chicago the last three years. This should be a lay-up.St. Louis (Pick) over Arizona. St. Louis will not go 0-2 and will deliver the goods.Tampa (-2.5) vs Buffalo. I would like Buffalo to win but they will not and Tampa will cover the 2.5.

 
Minnsota at CINCINNATI (-3) (47.5)

Cincy should get more points than this at home.

New England (-3) at CAROLINA (43)

With Kris Jenkins down, this line is far too generous for Carolina.

Atlanta at Seattle (PK'Em) (41.5)

The best team in the NFC against a weak defense and poor coaching.

 
New England (-3) at CAROLINA (43) - I'll take NE in this matchup. It's a road game and Carolina is coming off a loss, but with Jenkins going down I think the Panthers D will not be as good. I like the Pats to win 24-13.

St Louis at Arizona (Pk'Em) (44.5) - I'll take St. Louis here. It's a virtual no-brainer. No way does St. Louis lose this one. It's an MnMer. St. Louis will win 35-20. They'll be extra angry after losing to San Fran.

KC (-1.5) at OAKLAND (53.5) - I'll take neither team here, but I'll go with the over/under 53.5 and take the under. It looks, on paper like a shoot out, but they don't play games on paper. KC will score probably 28 points with Oakland holding at 21 or 24. Shoot-outs like this usually don't materialize on Sunday. Love the under.

 
I read the post too late last week, so this is week one for me. I won with CINN, & INDY, last week, hope i keep that streak goin.Carolina + 3 over NE.---Good offenses on both teams, but I think the Panther's defense wins this one for em.St Louis "Pickem" over Arizona---I just don't see the Rams offense not winnin this one.Pitt -6 over Houston---Houston has just been so bad! I think the Steelers offense shows their ### again this week, with or without Big Ben.

 
Miami at NYJets (-6) (37)

KC (-1.5) at OAKLAND (53.5)

Washington at DALLAS (-6) (36)

Was the first late entry last week, although I don't think I would have done to well.

Glll

 
thanks for the invite Ministry of Pain, Im pretty new so I didn't know you guys did this. Anyway here are my picks.-4 Baltimore @ Tennessee-6 Pittsburgh @ Houston+13 San Fransico Vs. Philadelphia

 
Got smoked last week, glad I posted late. Try and right the ship this week even though I'm not that confident in any of these...NE -3StL ETB -2.5

 
Miami (+6) - I think the Jets bounce back, but still lose. Even if they do, its not by much. San Diego (+3) - Denver has failed to impress so far. Hop on the LT wagon and ride.Cincinnati (-3) - Love the Bungles here. I think Marvin Lewis has done a lot of work with that D, and the offense seems to be coming together behind Palmer and Johnson.If I had money to burn, I'd take Carolina and the points. Its a bad bet, but I've just got a hunch. Thanks MoP.

 
iam going seattle -1atl coming off HUGE win, 3000 miles away, on a short weekoakland +1.5more time to prepare than KC. public will be all over the chiefs after last weeks win. jets -6jets coming off bad road loss, fins coming off big home win going on the road. jets bounce back

 
For week 2 I'll take

Jacksonville +9

Miami +6

San Diego +3

I love getting points in the NFL.

:no: Sorry...got a 3:00 EST deadline...which is actually 4:00 but I go by the timer in these threads so its fair. Next week dude. I like to see repeat players too.
 
Eagles -13Pitt -6Colts -9I usually like to take points, but I really thought some of these spreads would be slightly bigger. The eagles will really dominate on both sides of the ball, i would have expected -13 if the birds were on the road. Pittsburgh is just a mismatch, they will get up early and force carr to throw. I like the colts at home, their offense shouldbe better there against a tough jags defense. But the ravens have a tough def as well, if the colts def can do what they did last wk this will be an easy 10 pt win.

 
I guess I'm late for this, but I'll throw some out there.

Cleveland (+6.5) @ Green Bay

Green Bay was expected to have a rough season before it even started. Now they lost their best weopon in the passing game and without their two Pro-bowl guards from a year ago, the ground game simply won't be as dominating as it once was.

Last week against the Bengals, the Browns had to play catch up and it killed their game plan. 18 rushes (2 from Dilfer) vs. 43 pass plays speaks for itself. There is no way that's what Romeo Crennel wants to do. Even so, Dilfer managed to have a decent outing.

Expect Droughns to get 20-25 carries this week and have success. It will open up the passing game a bit and Dilfer should have good outing as result against a weak Packers secondary.

Take Cleveland

Minnesota (+3) @ Cincinatti

Until the Vikings offense shows it can produce without Randy Moss, there is little reason to expect that it will. It would be hard for them to do any worse than they did last week, but there is something to be said for just how poorly they played.

Mike Tice is a bad coach and after the horrible start at home in week 1, traveling to a Cincinatti and facing a team on the rise isn't the best way to fix that problem.

Cincinatti on the other hand looks like they are ready to roll. They performed very well against the Browns last week and there is little reason to believe the Vikings defense will be any better at stopping them than the Browns.

If the Bengals get ahead, they should be able to control the ball with the ground game and keep Culpepper off the field. Should the Vikings offense get going, the Bengals have enough weopons of their own to keep up with them throughout the game.

Take Cincinatti

Miami (+6) @ New York Jets

The Dolphins showed last week that both the defense and offense can perform well. The Jets on the other hand looked terrible.

If memory serves me well, these two teams tend to play close games all the time regardless of the talent on the rosters. The Jets should win, but Miami will keep it close.

Take Miami

 
I did not enter last week, so let's give this a try.....

Detroit at Chicago (33) OVER. This game has averaged 37.5 at Chicago the last three years. This should be a lay-up.

St. Louis (Pick) over Arizona. St. Louis will not go 0-2 and will deliver the goods.

Tampa (-2.5) vs Buffalo. I would like Buffalo to win but they will not and Tampa will cover the 2.5.

3-0 here too!!!
 
Hoe did I forget to make my picks last week? Argh!

Oh well, here comes the Pizzatyme Express===========>

Balt (-4) at TEN (36.5) I love the Ravens in this spot! I look for them to have 225+ yards rushing. Balt. 28-17

Pitt (-6) at HOUSTON (38.5) Another road chalk! Pitt will dominate the line of scrimmage and again, I could see FWP have 335 all by himself! Pitt. 31-13

I'm editing this to add SD+3 over the Broncos. I think with Champ Bailey out and Anderson dinged, it is going to be a long day for the Broncos!

My bonus pick for fun is:

Jax at INDY (-9) (46) Did jacksonville look bad enough to be getting 9? No! However, vegas knows that to get equal action on this game, anything less would have had the Colts action way out of whack! I like the Colts by 14 this week.

Colts 31-17

And there you have it.

1-1-1...D'oh!
 
Holy crap am I having a rough start :ptts:

I'm proof that wagering in week 1 is a BAD IDEA.

This week:

Miami +6 @ NY Jets - Miami surprised me last week, and I think they'll be good enough to cover on the road. It's amazing what good coaching can do for a team. There should be opportunity for Miami's defense to make some big plays.

Detroit -2 @ Chicago - If Detroit can't out-offense Chicago by a FG, they have no business aspiring to win the NFC North. I see the defenses as similar with the offensive edge going to Detroit.

San Diego +3 @ Denver - A full set of offensive weapons this week means a SD win straight up. The points are just gravy, I think.

I'm reserving the right to change my picks based on late-week injury and game info :bag:

Yudkin is making a run for 0-6...don't feel bad.
 
MoP is 4-2 ATS...a sizzling 66.7%, it won't last but we'll keep trying.

5-0-1 so far which should make me the early leader. i am sure i just doomed myself to an 0-3 after pointing that out.
 
MoP, any new thoughts on tonight's MNF double header? One of my three selections was UNDER NO/NY, other than that I'm liking the 'Boys a little bit too, as long as it stays around 6. Had KC and the under last night, looking to add to the bankroll.ETA: I LOVED Carolina :thumbup: and Minnesota :X , split early but came back strong for the late game. Me thinks I'm staying faaaar away from Minn. for a long while. Everybody has one, and that's my team that kills me every year, I should've learned years ago. :yucky:
