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.

bet on the san diego chargers

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

chicago bears[-9.5] vs detroit lions


the chicago bears, has had the greatest defence in the nfl for many years now.
in the past years, their attack has been under par, leaving the defence too much work to do, which resulted in the defence's numbers not reflecting reality.
their attack this season includes qb cutler, who will come into stride with wr hester, who's speed is of the absolute elite, many questioned his hands, however, he's been working on it, and now is a true big play number 1 reciever.
cutler will also, in time, get to know the value of rb forte, who's hands may be better than philadelphia's rb westbrook.
ullracher is out for this season, downgrading their linebacker situation, but make no mistake, this bears defence is the elite.
the lions are building a very good team, but imho, they'll need to draft 1-2 years to fill up some holes in the team
the spread is big, but are so are the differences between these two teams.

bet on the chicago bears

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

new england patriots[-1.5] vs baltimore ravens

it does not take an expert, all you have to do is watch.
if you've watched, then you know that this patriots defence, is about as weak as a defence can be.
i underestimated this ravens attack at the start of the season.
the ravens will not have trouble scoring in this game.
the patriots attack is not quite what it used to be.
it will be seriously tested against this elite ravens defence.
i will be suprised if the superior team does not win this game.

bet on the baltimore ravens

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

minnesota vikings[-3.5] vs green bay packers

the packers passing game looks like its gonna have a good day in this one.

bet on the green bay packers

nhl

eastern conference

atlantic

this division is without doubt, the best in the east.
i know that i projected the penguins to dominate from 2008 through to 2010, but i think a few other teams have caught up to them.
chris pronger joins the flyers, putting them immediatly into contention.
gaborik joins the rangers, upgrading their attack, putting them into contention.
its hard to say which team will be at the bottom of the standings between the devils and islanders.

northeast

the boston bruins remain contenders, and should be on top of this division.
the rest of the teams here are well behind boston, and yet not too far from each other.
ottawa and montreal seem to be a tad superior to the building leafs and the fallen sabres.

southeast

washington may not win this division as easy as some expect.
tampa bay picked up gold in hedman at the draft, and will dominate this division for years to come because of it.
we'll see how fast that will take effect... i would not be suprised if they started showing halfway through this season.
atlanta, florida and carolina seem to be a little further back, and should be below the playoff line.

western conference

central

i will be suprised if detroit manages to be in the top 3 of this division at the end of the season.
chicago, st.louis and columbus are very good teams, and should all make the play-offs.
nashville is out of luck.

northwest

this division has become quite weak.
calgary holds some good players, but you can't really consider them as some of their lines remain under par.
minnesota is a well run team and should be ahead of some of the teams here.
edmonton and colorado are well under par and will be below .500.
vancouver is the perfect example of how not to run a team.
easily the worst franchise in hockey.
a bunch of overaged, overpaid men playing in front of a mediocre goalie.

pacific


the san jose sharks are in a class of their own here, and should have no competition at winning this division.
the anaheim ducks, despite holding some serious youngsters, are probably drafting.
la, phoinex and dallas are all still below par, and should not be considered contenders to represent the west.

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

carolina panthers[-3.5] vs washington redskins

these teams are leagues apart, the spread should be the other way around and bigger.
this is going to be my base this week.

bet on the washington redskins

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

san fransisco 49ers[-2.5] vs atlanta falcons

i think the 49ers and the falcons will both win their division, so this match-up might be a preview of a play-off game.
the falcons attack is superior, and should win this game.

bet on the atlanta falcons

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

miami dolphins vs new york jets[-1.5]


the dolphins can win this division for a second year in a row.
the jets are good, but i'd have to give sanchez at least another year before they can be a serious contender.
its silly that the dolphins aren't like -4.5 point favorites.

bet on the miami dolphins

go Plymouth Whalers!

what?

I'm hopeful for the wings, but now I don't care quite so much because i've adopted an OHL team. happy to see you rate them as contenders

buffalo bills[-6.5] vs clevland browns

here's a good chance for the browns to get a win.
the bills are under par as a team.
their lines are weak, and they continue to have some injuries.
i don't think we'll need the 6.5 points in this one.

bet on the clevland browns

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

seattle seahawks[-1.5] vs jacksonville jaguars

this is the most lop-sided game this week.
seattle needs to draft this year and the next to be able to compete against a team like the jaguars.

bet on the jacksonville jaguars

ok, so we're coming off our best week of the season.
our base went through, with an overall 4 out of 5 = great profit.

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

minnesota vikings[-3.0] vs baltimore ravens

the minnesota vikings are really not as good as some percieve.
the vikings attack faces its biggest challenge yet.
on the other side of the ball, the ravens should be able to score against minnesota.
the ravens should win this game.

bet on the baltimore ravens

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

new orlean saints[-3.0] vs new york giants

no suprise in the saints success this season... their attack is of the absolute elite, and their defence has picked up a bit from its under par season last year.
but don't even begin to compare the saints to the giants, they are leagues apart.
eli manning is truly out of this world.
the giants running game is unbelievable, while the defence remains well above par.
the new york giants are truly the elite in the nfl.
its kinda funny that the saints are favorite here.
the only way one could consider the saints favorites here is if the giants decide to throw the game to rest.

bet on the new york giants

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

tampa bay bucs vs carolina panthers[-3.5]

i was watching the nfl network, and i couldn't believe that they named the bucs the absolute worst team in the nfl.
what tf have they been watching.
the bucs are actually a pretty good team, and under no circumstance can they compare with the lesser teams in the nfl.
this is a pretty good match-up here, but you'd have to like the bucs to win here at home against a seriously under par panthers team.

bet on the tampa bay bucs

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

washington redskins[-6.5] vs kansas city chiefs

the chiefs should've beat the under par cowboys last week.
the redskins are a much better team than the cowboys and should have no problem beating the chiefs, who's future see's them at the pit of this game for several years.

bet on the washington redskins

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

new england patriots[-9.5] vs tennessee titans

a part of me wants the titans to lose this game, but they face a weak patriots team that should not be able to stop their attack.
tennessee should be able to win their first game of the season against this well under par patriots team.
9.5 points is crazy here.

bet on the tennessee titans

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

san diego chargers[-3.5] vs denver broncos

this is actually a very lop-sided game.
the broncos, apart from beating a good bengals team 12-7 in week 1, have not faced a good team this season [browns,raiders,cowboys, patriots].
the chargers are by far, a superior team, who will run all over this broncos team.
how perceptions change as the weeks go by.
this is easily the base of this week.

bet on the san diego chargers

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

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
i'm gonna add a 7th game to this weeks picks......

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

atlanta falcons[-3.5] vs chicago bears

both teams are elite, but looking closer at the one on one match-ups, i'll have to give the edge to the falcons as their attack really can't be stopped by any team.
this might be the first team to win the superbowl with an under par defence in ages.

bet on the atlanta falcons
