*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Oakland Raiders @ Baltimore Ravens(-7.0)

This is a game where both teams will have a tough time moving the ball as both teams defence is superior to the offence that they face.
Low scoring game where either team can win.

Bet on the Oakland Raiders

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

New York Giants @ Pittsburgh Steelers(-3.0)

Is this some kind of joke?
One of the greatest pass rushing teams against the weakest line in the game!
The Giants run all over the Steelers on both sides of the ball.
Easy double digit win!

Bet on the New York Giants!

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Indianapolis Colts @ Tennessee Titans(-4.5)

At the start of the season, i did mention how I thought that the Colts would have a mediocre year.
This particular game though is lop-sided as the Titans will not be able to handle Manning.
Easy win for the Colts!

I've wagered a little too much this week.... Let me give you the rest of my picks:

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Kansas City Chiefs @ New York Jets(-13.5)

First of all, I don't think the jets are any better than the Chiefs this year.
KC's #1 weakness is that they can't stop the run.
Brett and the Jets aren't that much of a running team.
13.5 points makes this a must bet.

Bet on the Kansas City Chiefs

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Buffalo Bills(-2.5) @ Miami Dolphins

Its in my greatest interest for the Bills to win this game as I've bet heavily on them to win their division at 12/1.
This game though looks like it might just go the Dolphins way.
The Bills will win in Toronto.

Bet on the Miami Dolphins

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Tampa Bay Bucs @ Dallas Cowboys(-2.5)

Don't get me wrong, Unlike the Patriots, the Cowboys actually have a good team... not so much on defence, but the offence.
Now that can't show so much this week as the Bucs are elite on defence.
This won't be an easy win for the Bucs, but under the circumstances, they should take advantage and steal this game in Dallas.

Bet on the Tampa Bay Bucs

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

St.Louis Rams @ New England Patriots(-7.5)

Did the Patriots suddenly become a team? NOT!
Your perception after last week is false.

Bet on the St.Louis Rams

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Arizona Cardinals @ Carolina Panthers(-4.5)

The Panthers defence is not equipped to handle this Cardinals offence.
The win is up in the air.
4.5 points is a greater spread than it seems.

Bet on the Arizona Cardinals

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Washington Redskins(-9.5) @ Detroit Lions

I'm breaking the rules here as I generally suggest that one musn't bet against a team that is without a win, however, these Redskins are too good on both sides of the ball.
I can't contemplate this team not winning the superbowl this year.

Bet on the Washington Redskins

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

[W.HI.P]

Going for 6 out of 9 for some great profit this week with tommorow's Colts cover in Tennessee!
in the mean time........

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Tampa Bay Rays @ Philadelphia Phillies
Sonnastine - Blaton

Rays regain home field advantage here.

Bet on the Tampa Bay Rays

buffalo bills[-6.5] vs new york jets

there is no comparing these teams.
they are dimensions apart.

bet on the buffalo bills

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

tennessee titans[5.5] vs green bay packers

the numbers will tell you another story, but i believe that the packers defence is superior to that of the titans.

bet on the green bay packers

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

denver broncos[3.5] vs miami dolphins

as time passes, a teams defence becomes more of a factor inside the games.
denver lacks in that area where the dolphins remain solid.
did you think bill would be a failure in miami
i didn't.

bet on the miami dolphins

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

washington redskins[1.5] vs pittsburgh steelers

best bet of the week
this would be used as a base
the potential superbowl champions redskins vs a strong derfence and a weak offensive line.
easy win for the superior team here.

bet on the washington redskins

[lumberjim]

only betting 4 games this week? are the spreads that tight?

[lumberjim]

our pool at work requires 6 games picked. for a 5 point bet, this week the pot is appx 2200 pts. there was no winner last week, so it rolled over.

i won once this year on a week where 9 other people hit it too.....so i netted out 80 points because i had split the card with a sales mangler here.....( i dont usually play these) so, since i'm playing with the house's points.....here are my 6 this week:

Cheifs plus 7 at home vs the Bucs

Cardinals giving 3 visiting the Rams

Lions getting 13 at the Bears

Packers getting 7 at the Titans

Broncos giving 3 at home vs the Dolphins

Raiders plus 3 hosting the Falcons

kinda.
one must start considering teams resting at this time.
its time to protect the assets for the teams that are playoff bound.
its also time to start positioning for the upcoming draft.

chiefs vs vikings[-4.5]
the vikings are superior to the texans, but they won't be able to stop houston's passing game, and 4.5 points is the most tricky spread there is.

bengals vs jaguars[-9.5]

even here, you'd have to question motives.
on the jaguars side that is.

browns[1.5] vs ravens

the team that wins this game will probably win the division.
the other team should start looking at the draft.

rams vs cardinals[-3.0]

there are not too many differences here.
the spread is right on the money.

bears[-13.5] vs lions

leaning towards the lions here.
a]the bears are a team that is known to rest during a lead.
b]never bet against a team without a win.

raiders vs falcons[-3.5]

i've already bet on the raiders here.
motives are in question for both teams though.

giants[-9.5] vs cowboys

this cowboys season does not come as a suprise at all.
their defence is too weak to compete in this division.
the spread in this game is probably too large too touch.

seahawks vs eagles[7.5]

lets not forget here, the seahawks were the odds on favorite to win this division at the start of the season.
spreads accurate.

colts[-6.5] vs patriots

leaning towards the colts as key players return.
the patriots need to re-group and rebuild.
it'll take 6-7 years, but if they start now, they'll be competitive then.
if not....well, it'll be a tough decade for new england.

.

hmmm...interesting.....how do you think they'll do against the CHIEFS, though?

[W.HI.P]

they're not playing the chiefs, they're playing the texans.

the chiefs are playing the bucs in a game where one should avoid for obvious reasons of resting and motives

[lumberjim]

well, something is fucked up with your post. i didnt bother to check against the actual schedule, scroll up, you'll see it. you have the vikes v the cheifs on the title line, but then describe the vikes v texans.
i was just being cute anyway. dont try to meet me at a train station or anything.

georgia vs florida[-5.5]

the team that wins this game will be looking like a championship contender.
georgia has the advantage at home.
georgia imo, is also a greater team overall.

bet on georgia

[trupiks2]

im back from a long vacation after my winnings from last season and i have been keeping an eye on this season. i also see that whip has improved from last season but still his numbers arent up to mine. though i will give him respect on the d-rays pick for only a witch who can see into the future couldve predicted that one. enough chitter-chat here are my picks of the week.

Baltimore @ Cleveland -2.5
The Browns are finally healthy and you are not going to see the ravens do what they did to them earlier this year. Flacco and this offence isnt anything special and Clevelands d is a very good one. baltimore doesnt score more than 10 and the Browns win this one in Cleveland, as they will win this division this year, 24-10.
One of the best bets of the week. Take the Browns

Arizona -3.5 @ St. Louis
With Kurt Warner leading this team i can see the Cards go real far in the playoffs or even to the Super Bowl. If this defence can stay healthy they are a well rounded team. i cant see the Rams doing anything in this with S. Jackson hurt even if he does play. The Rams also have a few starters banged up on their d. The Rams fans will se a great show on turf but not by their team.
Best bet of the week. Take the Cards

Miami @ Denver -4.5
I know the Bronco d has been playing poorly but on paper they're pretty good. Like the Colts D they cant play well when behind and this week they wont be. With Young, Scheffler and Stokley returning Jays gonna look like he did earlier this season. At Mile High, off the bye week with coach Shanahan Denver wins big. 41-24.
Take Denver

Dallas @ NYG -8.5
The Cowboys are banged up but they have alot of depth and in an important divisional match-up like this one this game is gonna be close. Brad has had a couple of weeks to get into a groove and he will put outagood outing in this one. Elis gonna see the most pressure hes seen all year. Dallas will send the blitz for their secondary is banged up. This game will be decided by a fg.
Take the Cowboys

NE @ Indy -5.5
Peyton knows this defence very well and with them aging and being less talented and not having Rodney, Peyton will have a Peyton kinda day. Also the fact that Sanders and Addai should be back for this one the Colts are going to go through teams from here on out. You didnt think the Colts with Peyton Manning still playing werent going to make the playoffs, did you? With the Pats backfield banged up their not gonna run well, (add to the fact that manning will have the colts up early) they will have to rely on Cassel to throw the ball and that front four of the Colts will be putting pressure on all day.
Take the Colts

Pit -1.5 @ Was
This will be a close game as both teams will struggle to put up points. But with the Steelers most likely to make more mistakes will cost them the game. i cant see them running the ball. Ben might make a few plays but nothing big. they might contain Portis to maybe 80-90 yards on 25-30 carries but with Jason managing the game better than anyone this year and making plays when they ask him to Washington wins this one 19-13.
Easy pick. Take the Skins

Other games to take into consideration.

NYJ @ Buf -5.5
this will be a high scoring affair where i believe the Bills prevail. The bills d will slow Favre more times than the Jets will Edwards. Bills win 44-34.
Take the Bills

Atlanta -3.5 @ Oakland
The both teams will find success running the ball. it comes down to which young qb will play better than the other one. I think J. Russell will win the battle at home as the Raiders grab their 3rd win of the year.
Take the Raiders
