LedZeppfan77 Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 I got smoked picking the games straight up but I did great picking against the spread. Example. Dallas plus 3. I made alot of money on that game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LedZeppfan77 Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 Anyone see the early line on Seattle next week? Minus 19 1.2 vs Jacksonville. I am going to lay the points and not break a sweat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul carruthers Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 ^^ You mean you're going to bet the Jags as the underdogs? Not that I'm in a position to give betting advice, but that seems like one I would steer clear of. The Jags are the worst team in the league & may get their asses smoked, or it will be a struggle for Seattle. I'm leaning towards the ass whoopin' though...

paul carruthers Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 ^^ Ok, I get you Rick. Better hope Seattle has no trepidations about running up the score on the Jag-wads. And just from a "straight up" point of view, I don't know who to pick in that Kansas City/Philly game. The Eagles can score but their defense couldn't stop my grandmother from getting in the endzone. I think I might go with the home team though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New England is not that good. they are ripe for the picking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walter Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 The Eagles are similar to last year. The Redskin game made them look better than they really are. I mean, the Chargers come across the country, play an early game, and then come from behind to beat Philly - that just shows the Eagles don't have "it". They'll be hit and miss, much like the rest of the NFC LEast.....0-4 yesterday, 0-3 vs. AFC West! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul carruthers Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 I'm looking at the Cowboys schedule right now, a pretty tough stretch of games coming up, Rams, Chargers and the Broncos, the NFC East could be very wide open in a few weeks, especially if the Skins get their shit together. And Rick, I agree the Pats are ripe for a butt kicking, but I just don't see Tampa doing it. The Bucs seem to be a lot like the Lions, they lose more games they should win than anybody.

New England will be overconfident for this game no matter how much Belechek screams at them. They are known for losing this type of game at home. I will come right out with it.

Strider Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 Paul, just to clarify...if you 'lay' the points, that means you're taking the favourite. If you 'take' the points, you're going with the underdog.San Fran kicks Seattle into Puget Sound. You read it here first. Ummm...what happened?

Strider Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Should've said toward Alcatraz... Hey, it happens. I picked SF too...although I didn't think the 49ers would blow them out. If nothing else, I think we all have December 8 circled on our calendar now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strider Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 ^^^ I don't know Rick. At first glance, that sounds good. Last year, Seattle won their home games by an average of 18 points. But Carroll doesn't have a grudge against Jacksonville like he does against Harbough. I'm worried Seattle will ease off the pedal once they get up two touchdowns and allow Jacksonville a couple late cheap scores to blow the spread. Plus, there's the possibility of a Seattle emotional letdown after last night's huge win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A back door cover is possible for sure. And you are right, no reason for them to run the score up and they will be overconfident. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul carruthers Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Philadelphia (I've been struggling with this one, but the Eagles are home even if they can't play a lick of defense) Green Bay Dallas (Wouldn't surprise me at all if the Boys lose, but once again I'm going with the home team) San Diego Minnesota New England (An upset in the making if it were not the Bucs, the Keystone Cops of the NFL) New Orleans Washington (RGIII and the Taters get well vs. the Lions) NY Giants (another tough one to call, but something tells me Eli is better than Cam Newton) Houston Miami (My upset special of the week, go Fins!) Buffalo (What will Rick do if the Bills lose this one?) San Francisco Seattle Chicago (The Steelers 0-3 to start a season, say it ain't so?) Denver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LedZeppfan77 Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Another tough week Philly Cincy(this game is tough) St Louis San Diego Minnesota Tampa (yes I believe NE is overated) New Orleans (reluctantly-cant stand them or coach) Detroit (Wash will go with a backup QB until RG is healthy-Lions can outscore) Carolina Houston Atlanta Buffalo (all the way) San Fran Seattle Chicago Denver I just noticed the hot capper on CBS Sportsline is picking Tampa to upset New England as I am. He had Miami over Indy and Tampa only lost by two at New Orleans. Cant you see this coming? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
