That Ravens line scares me. I have no idea why NE playing there first game without Moss against arguably the best team in the NFL is a favorite. Smells like red lobster. Crustaceany.

I agree.  Fishy indeed.  Gotta do it.  NE hasn't shown me anything against a Ravens team that is already diesel with an evolving passing game that finally decided to run last week with Mr. Rice.  I'll take the points.

I feel this is the game the Saints O blows up

I thought that 2 weeks ago against CAR and was proven wrong. Last week didnt make me any more confident. Maybe Bush is more important than anyone realized?!  :o ;D

They could turn it on against TB, Im guessing what Batch did vs them makes you more confident, but I think TB is actually a solid team, plus theyre at home. NO coming off a loss helps them youd think. That said, probably steering clear of that game

I almost never touch college games because I KNOW every game is fixed.  But, due to last evening's success, a small wager on a 3 teamer today.

Pitt -1.5
USC -2.5
Arkansas +3.5

[Murph]

Already up $65 from the Jets on Monday so here's how it goes:

$50 to win $130

Saints -4
Giants -10

$15 to win $216

Chargers -9
Scravens +2.5
Falcons +120 money line
Bears -6

Way to delete your post Trace ;D  I guess I should have parlayed the over on that one.  Seriously...WTF was that game?

[Ruckus]

Philly and the over got me some play money for this evening although the Bears screwed my big play.

Going against the grain here.  80% have taken the over @44.5 and 83% are taking the Colts -3.

Soooo, I'll be taking the under and the Skins +3

[capt. scotty]

Didnt have a chance to make my picks for the 1pm games....but did good at 4pm with MIN -1.5 and NJY -3 (phew on that one!)

Im staying away from this Indy game. Theyve been too Jekyl and Hyde for my liking.

Going with TEN -3 for tomorrow

My first week I will be over .500!

[Ruckus]

And the public was right.  Doh!

Told ya about the Saints El Capitan ;)

Wasnt the colts game a push?!  :-?

Yeah, no doubt bout the Saints. I think I picked them every week vs shitty teams expecting them to blow up and had enough of them so they were castoffs this week.

Week 8 - Likin a lot of road dogs here

Niners Pick Em
Cowboys -6.5
Skins +2.5
Jets -5.5
Rams -3
Dolphins +2
Bills +8 (pick o the week)
Titans +3.5
Bucs +3
Seahawks +2.5
Pats -5
Saints pick 'em
Texans +5.5

I parlayed the Cowboys and the over at 42
Also parlayed Skins, Bills and Dolphins...I think.. gonna have to check that

[capt. scotty]

Took

WAS +3
CAR +3
MIA +3
INDY -5.5

Carolina was a hunch that went wrong, but that WAS-DET game is still pissing me off..They were the winner until god damn Shanahan pulled McNabb and the game went to shit.

[capt. scotty]

SD -1.5
NYJ -3.5
Indy +3
PIT -3.5

Added GB -9 late on sunday and forgot I took NE -4...good week though, +5 shares.

Ive made it a bad habit of waiting til sunday to look at spreads this year, and glad I checked a couple days ago because I like a lot of the early ones this week :

BAL +1 (3 shares)
TB -6 (4 shares)
TEN -1 (2 shares)
DET +3 (3 shares)
HOU +3 (4 shares)
KC -2.5 (3 shares)
NE +5 (3 shares)
PHI -3 (4 shares)

I might have to throw more shares on the NE and HOU games...really like those spreads

[Murph]

ATL and the under tonight........please

[capt. scotty]

ATL and the under tonight........please

Not sure bout the O/U but it had to be close with that last TD...didnt realize Ryan was 18-1 at home  :o

Good call.

I'll take a wrong pick any day of the week though when it comes alongside a 30pt fantasy game by Roddy and Ravens loss.

[capt. scotty]

BAL +1 (3 shares)
TB -6 (4 shares)
TEN -1 (2 shares)
DET +3 (3 shares)
HOU +3 (4 shares)
KC -2.5 (3 shares)
NE +5 (3 shares)
PHI -3 (4 shares)
 

oof...need Philly to win just to get out of the red. Couldve been a good week if not for JAX miraculous winning that game. That shouldve at worst been a push and couldve easily been a HOU win.

[Ruckus]

Had a solid week going 9/13.  I take down our spread pick em pool if the Iggles win by three or more.  Between that and a nice chunk o change I put on the Pats +5 last night, may be a lucrative weekend.  Well timed after less than stellar two weeks

[capt. scotty]

Maybe Ruckus the gambling genius will disagree with 1 or both of these, but I had to jump all over GB +2.5 @ MIN and TB +4 @ SF because both of those opening lines looked terribly off and I think theyre so out of whack theyll change by at least a few points within the next couple days

If I was a gambling genius, I wouldn't be working but alas I get drunk and blow my football and basketball winnings on online blackjack ;D

I agree with you about those lines.  However, Troy Smith looks good and they are at home.  At first glance, I would stay away from that game.  

You have to like the Pack coming off of a bye with the quarterback situation in flux and Rice being out for another week.  Minnesota played them well in Green Bay though.  I like GB here more than TB in San Fran.

I have no idea though ;D
