So what are the best bets this weekend? (1 Viewer)

[Liquid Tension]

Indy -7 vs KC O/U = 51

Seattle -3 vs. Dallas O/U = 46.5

NE -8.5 vs NYJ O/U = 38

Philly -7 vs, NYG O/U = 45.5

Overall, I am not blown away with a game I see as a must bet. Too many question marks in every game IMO.

KC/Indy - Boy, I would be scared stiff if I were Indy with this match up. That being said, I think Manning has been playing far better than any QB in the playoffs and Herm Edwards is on the other side (not much logic on that one). KC has two veteran CB's that could make a key pick or 2 (which would be enough to win this), but my take on this game is Indy (maybe even take them in the money line to win and give the odds).

Seattle/Dallas - If I had to make one bet, I would take the over (as long as the weather isn't bad). Neither defense is very good and Seattle secondary is a mess. Even with Romo struggling TO, Glenn and Witten should have a field day. Alexander should be able to run effectively which should open up some throws by Hasselbeck (DJ is needed). I would also say Dallas plus the 3 is worth it, but I am still scratching my head on how they could lose at home to Detroit with what could have been a possible game to win the division???

NE/Jets - The Jets have risen above many team of late, but my belief that is because they were by far the healthiest team in the NFL all year and the Jets didn't play better; it was more of the teams they were playing were more banged up. While the Jets as a team play better in muddy type conditions (not much team speed), Pennington struggles in the elements. If NE just keeps running they should win this game 80% of the time. 8.5 is a lot of points though to cover. The points scare me away and I am not betting against Belichik in the playoffs.

Giants/Eagles - I am a Giant fan...This team is battered with injuries and this is the reason for their downturn. Don't believe all the infighting etc... as they are no different than other team. When you win things are good and when you lose (especially with high expectations) things are bad. You simply can't lose 5 starters on defense and 2 on offense (LT and starting WR) and a crippled Shockey and expect to win the SB. That being said, the Giants have some talent on the team. The Eagles are pretty healthy after losing Kearse and Mcnabb they are in excellent shape. McNabb is the biggest blow, but Garcia has played well so it hasn't been too big of a loss, and losing Kearse might have actually helped their run defense (but not heir pass rush). The main issue here is how the Giants scheme to handle Jim Johnson's blitzes. The Giants have a terrible pas protecting line, but a very good run blocking line. In their last meeting the score was close, but the Eagles dominated the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball. Unless the Giants can handle the blitz and have a few tricks to pull out The Eagles trench play should win them the game 75% of the time. The spread at 7 is tricky, but if I had to bet I would take the Eagles as the game might get out of hand as the Giants try to come back. But, going back to my original statement, too many question marks to try and make yourself all your holiday money back THIS week.

Cowboy/Seattle Over is my best bet.

I also toyed with a 3 team teaser that had KC getting 14.5, Dallas/Seattle over 39 and either (the Jets +16 or Giants + 14.5 or Dallas +10.5, but chose against the teaser with too many question marks and not enough no doubters.

What are your best bets?

Wow, 3 teams getting 7 points or better and NYJ is getting 8.5! I love NE and see little chance of them loosing this game, but I'll take 8.5 points in the playoffs nearly everytime.

I think the money line with NE just to win might be good. I still like the over on the Dallas game

Over in Seattle

NE will crush the Jets.

Over in SeattleNE will crush the Jets.

The Cowboy line moved to them only getting 1.5 and the over is now 47.5 Jackson I guess isn't playing? This is speculation on the move of points.

I like KC to win outright. KC runs the ball well, no ####. Indy has huge problems stopping the run and is small at almost every position. KC will do a ying yang stuffer on Indy. Oh, and Green is a capable QB, to hit some play action passes in key situations. Seahawks and Dallas are both lost right now. Holmgren is a better coach than the Tuna and games like this is where that's important. Holmgren will have a plan that protects his beat up secondary with lots of pressure on Romo (who's real shaky) and controlling the clock. The Cows cant come up with or execute a game plan worth ####. Their healthy safeties are horrible and Holmgren will attack them at the right times.

I hear you about KC, but what if the Colts get up by a few scored; will KC keep running? If KC can keep it close they should be OK, but they better get into the end zone. I just feel somehow the Colts will find a way to win. Manning should be able to score against this defense, but he has to watch that ball hawk Law.

 

[wrongheaded]

Edwards won't give up on the run, no way.

"What ifs" are what gambling is all about. Sure, they could get out to a big lead, KC does have a beast of a running game. Indy has not stopped the run all year. I like KC at +286, i will take that chance.
