daquixers_is_back Posted December 5, 2006 Posted December 5, 2006 Wow. I just read an article and I certainly am going to be jumping on a few lines covered in the article. Detroit -2 home vs Vikings Tenn +2 away vs Houston Other interesting picks in the article: Ravens +3 in KC Falcons -3 vs Tampa Denver/Chargers over 42 Also just saw Indi -2 at Jacksonville (I look for Indi to be hungry after the embarassing loss last week)
daquixers_is_back Posted December 6, 2006 Author Posted December 6, 2006 No comments? Wow. Who does everyone else have?
12thman Posted December 6, 2006 Posted December 6, 2006 I ain't touching detroit..things are such a mess over there but you never know which team is going to show up. Roy Williams came out and called the team hopeless in essence. They want millen fired bad...I went to the phins/lions game and it was embarassing. What a contrast too from ford field to the ralph. Ford field is nice but they just can't get the fans into it..no atmosphere, when the lions are on d..man the place is silent, not like the ralph at all. I like Tennessee though No comments? Wow. Who does everyone else have? 858324[/snapback]
BuffOrange Posted December 7, 2006 Posted December 7, 2006 As usual I hate your picks. Don't really strongly disagree, it's just a tough week overall IMO. The Colts never have been a team that really feeds off emotion or anger - they're very mechanical. If Manning doesn't play great they're going to struggle, if he does they win. If I were to go w/ a road favorite I'd prefer Philly or Seattle over Indy or Atlanta. Leaning Miami +3.5 and NO +7 as the games I like most, but I'll probly just take the week off.

Without knowing the injury report... My favorite pick is Tenn +2 My least favorite is Ravens +3, in fact i like the chiefs at -3. Baltimore is overrated, and I think Buffalo will beat them in their stadium. Indy has lost their invincibility, which lets the opposing team BELIEVE they can beat them which has alot to do with positive thinking and motivation = easier to win.

See what I mean? Baltimore is overrated? They have beaten San Diego, NO, Cinci, Atlanta, and Pitt by a combined 63 points. Those are teams win a combined 36-24 record by an average of over 12 points a match. Indi I agree with on principle ... but I dont see them losing to a team that Buffalo and Houston(2x) beat.

Cincy they beat at home by 6 thanks to a defensive TD, and they lost @Cincy by 6 in a game that wasn't that close. Atlanta stinks, Pitt is 'meh', @NO is their only really impressive win in that bunch.
East Brady Posted December 7, 2006 Posted December 7, 2006 Bills 5-0 ATS since the bye week , ride it while you can!!

Note to self: disregard everything BuffOrange says about betting from now on and keep riding your own winning streak. End note.
2020 Our Year For Sure Posted December 7, 2006 Posted December 7, 2006 They beat SD by 3 at home in a Sept. game which they were outplayed for 55 minutes.

Atlanta stinks, Pitt is 'meh', @NO is their only really impressive win in that bunch. 859516[/snapback] The SD game doesn't count because they won it at the end? The Cincinatti game doesn't count because they scored a defensive TD? They won these games, end of story. The only way I question the outcome of a game is if there's a really bad call by a ref that decides it.

As far as I'm concerned, Baltimore is coming off of an embarrassing loss to Cinci, and should come back fired up.
BEAST MODE BABY! Posted December 7, 2006 Posted December 7, 2006 The line on the Jax/INdy game is Indy -1. I had to jump on that.
BuffOrange Posted December 8, 2006 Posted December 8, 2006 Wow. Note to self: brag about your phantom winning streak when Baltimore and Dallas were your biggest plays last week 859912[/snapback] fixed your post.
daquixers_is_back Posted December 8, 2006 Author Posted December 8, 2006 fixed your post. 860032[/snapback] My phantom winning streak? Edit: I just won a parlay of Pitt and Over tonight ...
Max997 Posted December 8, 2006 Posted December 8, 2006 Tenn is so ripe for a loss...it looks too easy and theres a reason Houston is favored, I think the Texans get the upset
daquixers_is_back Posted December 8, 2006 Author Posted December 8, 2006 Tenn is so ripe for a loss...it looks too easy and theres a reason Houston is favored, I think the Texans get the upset 860594[/snapback] I think Ill take my chances with the high-rollin Titans. Once you have a few wins behind your back things start gettng easier (think Bills 2004).

If McNabb slides out of bounds in a game the previous week and is carted off of the field, then NO I wouldn't bet on Phili the next week unless I knew for sure it was just something minor and he would play ... but if it is Indi and there #3 WR is questionable, I could care less. Harrison, Wayne, Addai (been on fire lately) are all fine, then I'm not too worried. See what I mean? P.S. I dont put large amounts of money down before Saturday anyhow.
