IDBillzFan Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 I may just pass on this week. 774071[/snapback] That's probably the best idea for this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokinandjokin Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 I may just pass on this week. 774071[/snapback] I was discussing my bets last Saturday afternoon with a friend of mine who is a fellow wagerer. I asked him what he thought about the night game between Ohio State and Texas. He said, "I'm not sure...If I WAS going to take it, I'd take OSU...." I just started laughing and said, "So WHEN you take it, you're taking Ohio St." He just started laughing too. Even if it's your best intention (and a good idea) to lay off, once Saturday and Sunday roll around, there's always a few that look good. Might as well stop lying to yourself now.

eball Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 I gotta say Philly. I don't think it'll even be close. 20-7. 773971[/snapback] I'm not high on the Giants either. McNabb is playing like a kid again. I don't think it's a lock, but I like Philly to win. The Baltimore / Oakland game just screams at me. San Diego / Tennessee as well. Those could both be 20-pt margins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATBNG Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 Welcome to "overeaction to week 1 sucker bets" 101. 774623[/snapback] Yep. I like the Packers, Vikings, and Jaguars. Love points at home early in the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffOrange Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 Yep. I like the Packers, Vikings, and Jaguars. Love points at home early in the season. 774658[/snapback] Hey AT - personally I see no home dogs that stick out like the Lions & Rams last week. I've officially given up on GB in Lambeau after they screwed over my suicide pool each of the last two years, followed by last week's debacle. The only thing with the Vikes & Jags is that they're both playing phenominal road teams. Actually, every team in the NFC South seems to play better on the road. I kinda like the Bucs, the Browns who always give the Bengals fits in Cincy, and Lions who I really like this year for some odd reason. Overall, I think Rico has it right that it's a horrible gambling week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overall, I think Rico has it right that it's a horrible gambling week. 774713[/snapback] I often look at one point and say it's a horrible gambling week; then two days later I like 10 games. I usually only play three...maybe 4. I think Carolina is easy to defend without Smith. He makes so much of their offense and special teams go. Their offensive line is well below average. They look like an 8-8 team to me. There's precedent from 2004 when they were 7-9 off an amazing Super Bowl run. Minnesota is a home dog off a road win; always good. I'm high on the Vikings too this season since I think Culpepper and Tice were great subtractions and Hutchinson is one of the ten best players in all of football. I love the Vikings Sunday. GB - well, I'm starting to share your concern because it looks like the line move is being driven towards NO by real money. Perhaps it is best to avoid The Brett Favre Adventure these days. I hate to say it, but the Jets looks attractive at +6. New England is going to be perceived to be "angry" but that's always an overplayed angle; Jets are another home dog off a road win and they're underrated. As does SF at +3. They beat St. Louis twice last year, Nolan is pretty solid and I think the Rams losing McCollum is big. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

/dev/null Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 Baltimore over Oakland.

Almost everyone who didn't take the Pats last week went with Arizona so you're definitely not alone. This week was a lot more options, but with a healthy McNair and a tough schedule, this seems like the best week to use Baltimore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TigerJ Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 I'm in a survivor pool and I went with Baltimore over Oakland. I don't have to worry about the spread, but I don't think they'll have any problem beating that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I 90 Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 Green Bay gets healthy against Saints. The Vikings prove that they're for real. The Bengals spank the Browns. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
