I like Pitt and Jacksonville. I'm on the fence with Eagles/Bears. I like Green Bay to smack Atlanta in the dome

Its my least sure pick of the bunch, which is why I only have 2 shares on it. Only reason I went with ATL is because Ryan is 19-1 at home. I'll take those odds.

I didnt have a chance to look at the later games yet, but so far

JAX -3.5 (4 shares)
CIN +9 (3 shares)
ATL -7 (5 shares)
TB -1 (4 shares)

CIN +9 (3 shares) loss

TB -1 (4 shares) push

was +11 shares thanks to BAL -3 @ 5 shares and that very timely Pick 6 in OT.

This week:
DAL -6 (5 shares)
HOU +1.5 (4 shares)
NO +1.5 (3 shares)
KC +3 (4 shares) Id be amazed if Cassel doesnt start
NE -13.5 (5 shares)
CHI -7.5 (3 shares) I guess Im hedging my bets on Webb ;D

capt. scotty · Jan 07, 2011, 11:40 AM

INDy -2.5 (3 shares)
BAL -1 (7 shares)

Id still take BAL at -3 which is where its at now

Im really tempted to take SEA +11 but I dont think I'll pull the trigger.

I'm gonna hunker down and crunch numbers tomorrow but I'll guarantee a Jets win straight up. I agree with u on Seattle. At Qwest with Hasselbeck starting

capt. scotty · Jan 07, 2011, 01:49 PM

You guarantee the Jets will win?? I dunno. Colts on a 4 game win streak, Peyton threw at least 2TDs in each of those games (9TD/2INT) with a 100.3 passer rating. Sanchez was 1-3 his last 4 games, 1TD/5INT, with a 59.6 passer rating. LT hasnt broken 60yds rushing in a game since week 5 and only averaged over 4 YPC in 2 games since then. All those things make me like Indy but the biggest reason is that the game is in the big gas station.

I think Im goin to add GB +3 the more I think about it as well, for like 4 shares. GB hasnt lost a Rodgers started game by more than 3 all year, and I actually heard they havent trailed by more than a TD all season.

I got green blinders on but much of the public has Peyton ones on. Jets played some tough D's down the stretch. They are a better team than the one that almost pulled it out at Lucas Oil last year and the Colts are not. I just have a good feeling that we'll be able to move the ball and create a TO or 2.

Pack +3 is a no brainer for me. They are my NFC favorite.

I don't like the KC/Bmore game but I'll take the Ravens. Chiefs may be a year away.

I read that all of the Seahawks' 9 losses have been by 13 points or more. So if you think the Saints are gonna win, they'll likely cover the 11 too right? ;D

the Jets might be a better team than they were last year, but hard to say. The additions of Cromartie and Santonio would make me believe that, but they lost TJones who was more vital to them last yr than LT this year (although Greene carried them in the playoffs). I had to actually look up Sanchez's stats this year to see if he really got better. He clearly did stats wise, but half his TDs came in September when he had his 3 best games of the year based on passer rating. They might be better on paper this year, but I think they were playing better going into Indy last year coming off 2 playoff wins.

The Colts clearly arent as good as they were last year, but theyre playing better than the Jets going into this game.

1 thing I am pretty sure of, is that this will be the best game of this weekend. It wouldnt surprise me if the other 3 games are decided by double digits (Saints, Pack, Ravens wins).

Can't over analyze here. We're gonna make it happen. F the Colts!

Didnt pick the Seattle game, but went with GB +3 for 6 shares....+10 shares for the weekend, I'll take it

Ruckus · Jan 10, 2011, 10:04 AM

An up and down weekend for me and I finished where I started. Kinda wish I had just thrown it all on the Pack which was my pick of the week.

Pitt -3 and Pats -8.5

My heart and my wallet tell me two different things. I may have to take the Ravens straight up but concede the Pats on this line so that I win either way.
