detroit tigers vs tampa bay rays
washburn - shields

if the rays want to repeat as american league champions, they're gonna have to beat the competition.
the tigers have a good team, but it cannot compare to that of the rays.

its got a fair price as the rays are underdogs in this one.

easy win for the rays

tampa bay rays vs boston red sox
sonnastine - lester

the rays have seriously owned boston over the past two seasons.
it makes no difference to me where they're playing, or who's pitching.
the rays are the better team.

tampa bay rays vs boston red sox
price - buchholz

since last july, the rays are 21 - 12 against the boston red sox.
the rays will just keep getting better as the years pass.
i expect the rays to win 75 percent of their games against the red sox, through out the next couple years.

price is without doubt, the rays best starter.

philadelphia phillies vs san fransisco giants
martinez - lincecum

lincecum has paid me very well in his wins as i seem to bet on him a lot. i've even bet against the man at very high prices when he's lost.
the giants have a legitimate shot at competing for this years world series.

toronto blue jays vs ny yankees
halladay - chamberlain

halladay has lost his 3rd game in a row, giving up 25 hits and 17 runs.
funny enough, the jays are favorites here again, against the yankees of all teams.
halladay and the jays have been our money makers this season.
thank you so much for sucking.

bet on the ny yankees

indianapolis colts [-7.5] vs jacksonville jaguars

the colts are not the same team they were the past couple seasons.
its not so much their attack which has replaced harrison with a worthy gonzales.
imo, the jaguars were drafting last season.
in this game, i can see the jaguars running really well against this colt defence, keeping manning off the field.
of course i'm gonna bet against the spread, as i would not be suprised if the jaguars win this game .

new orlean saints[-13.5] vs detroit lions

this should be a shoot-out.
not too many teams can stop brees.
on the other hand, the saints defence can't really stop any team, let alone this above par lions attack.
don't put the house on this game as high scoring games can get out of hand either way.

bet on the detroit lions

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

new york giants[-7.0] vs washington redskins

the giants defence is not what it used to be... just look close and you'll see.
the giants have a serious running game, but manning is without targets.
there is no way that this team can compete this season.
the redskins defence is the elite in this game.
although true contenders find form later in the season, i can't look past this bet.

bet on the washington redskins

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

arizona cardinals[-7.5] vs san fransisco 49ers

not too much seperate these teams.
if gore has a good year, this team should win this very very weak division.
people's perception about the cardinals comes with fluffy clouds.

bet on the san fransisco 49ers

atlanta falcons[-6.5] vs carolina panthers

the falcons attack is amazing.
both the running game and passing game is elite.
carolina will not be able to stop it.
6.5 points is nothing here.

bet on the atlanta falcons

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

jacksonville jaguars[-3.0] vs arizona cardinals

the differences between these two teams is much greater than the spread.

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

kansas city chiefs[-2.5] vs oakland raiders

the raiders looked really good out there on both sides of the ball in week 1.
the chiefs, with or without their overpaid qb, suck... and to think that it can only get worse each year that passes.
the chiefs may not be the worst team in the league yet, but they are by far, the worst franchise in the league.

bet on the oakland raiders

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

buffalo bills[-5.5] vs tampa bay bucs

the bills attack may have looked good against the extremely under par patriots defence last week, but it will not look as good as they start facing better teams.
the bucs are not as bad as the media has made them out to be.
this game is up in the air, 5.5 points are too much.

bet on the tampa bay bucs

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

san fransisco 49ers[-1.5] vs seattle seahawks

the 49ers are the better team and at home.
the 1.5 point spread is non-existant.

bet on the san fransisco 49ers

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

miami dolphins vs indianapolis colts[-4.5]

its not gonna be too hard for the dolphins to stop this colts attack without gonzales.
the dolphins will find it much easier to score against the colts than it was against the falcons.
this should be a win for the dolphins, the 4.5 points is a bonus.

minnesota vikings[-7.0] vs san fransisco 49ers

adrian peterson has a much easier task than mr.gore, however, the 49ers passing game should score quite a bit.
add 1-3 picks from the old man with the cane, and you have a possible 49ers win.
the point spread makes this an easy bet.

bet on the san fransisco 49ers

new england patriots [-3.5] vs atlanta falcons

there is no comparrison whatsoever between these two teams.
i will be suprised to see the falcons punt in this game.
the patriots need to rebuild.... that will take at least half a decade.
best bet of the week.

bet on the atlanta falcons

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

seattle seahawks vs chicago bears[-3.5]

i was very suprised last week to see the bears beating the steelers with such a small margin.
the seahawks are about as weak as the steelers overall.
expect the bears to finally wake up and get an easy win.

bet on the chicago bears

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

oakland raiders vs denver broncos[-2.5]

if the raiders want to compete with the chargers for this division, they're gonna have to win this game against this weak broncos team.
based on what i've seen from the raiders so far this season, it won't be too hard.
taking points in oakland does not make sense....jump all over this.

bet on the oakland raiders

dallas cowboys[-9.5] vs carolina panthers

carolina is going through some serious issues.
their qb, despite renewing his contract, is underpreforming.
their in previous years, stellar defence, seems to have weakened.
delhomme, this week, has a chance to turn his season around.
he faces a very weak cowboys defence that does not seem capable of stoping a mediocre college team, let alone a team in the nfl.
the stadium is top of the line, romo is elite, but thats about it.
the 9.5 points make this a gift.

bet on the carolina panthers

hoston texans[-9.5] vs oakland raiders

houston will be happy to squeeze out a win in this one, nothing justifies the 9.5 points.
the raiders have a solid running game, and an above par defence.

bet on the oakland raiders

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

jacksonville jaguars vs tennessee titans[-3.5]

i made a bet with a friend before the start of the season, that the titans would finish in last place in their division.
the person i made the bet with, thought he was ripping me off.
now, with the threat of going 0-4, the titans look like the greatest candidate for that spot.
the jaguars are clearly the superior team, the points are a bonus.

bet on the jacksonville jaguars

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

miami dolphins vs buffalo bills[-2.5]

the bills are really not that good.
this perception people have of the bills will alter as the weeks pass.
the dolphins are the better team, and should have no problem winning this game.

bet on the miami dolphins

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

pittsburgh steelers[-6.5] vs san diego chargers

without a doubt, this is the best bet of the week.
double digit win for the chargers against this very week steelers team.

In that Miami game - that 2.5 point spread is weird, isn't it? Why is it less than a field goal. Those always scare me

[Shawnee123]

Two point conversion.

[classicman]

Thanks shaw, I'll take it.

so far this season, 4 games have finished with less than a field goal difference.

[classicman]

I understand that WHIP, but the betting of games that have a spread of less than a field goal are still tumultuous, at best. Out of curiosity ... what was the breakdown on those four games? Did the home team win or the dog?

colts 14-12 jaguars ...jaguars beat the spread
patriots 25-24 bills.... bills beat the spread
redskins 9-7 rams... rams beat the spread
cowboys 31-33 giants... giants beat the spread

all 4 were underdogs and away, and yet all home teams won except the cowboys who lost to a superior team thats for lj
