coming off a ridiculous 3-5 week that saw me snatch defeat out of the jaws of victory in the tampa,chiefs(thanks priest)and oakland games.....and a total second half collapse by atlanta....real tough losses....the skins win was satisfying and kept me from a potential serial killing spree....
1)the giants+3....this is the typical bounce back game for the new yorkers....have been struggling a bit at home and playing fairly well away.....some of the giant players were miffed that the stadium was emptying out fairly early in a reasonably close ball game last week....not sure that new england has the defensive front to exploit the giant offensive line.....
right now,new england doesn`t pose the same problems as miami.....
just like the way this sets up for the gi`nts.....
2)eagles+2(buy half).....just flat out taking the eagles on the road....something about mcnabb on the road(except before a bye)...they are showing signs of waking up...the running game is clicking.....is dallas gonna run away and hide from the rest of the division?....i don`t think so.....they are talented....but i believe q carter comes back down to earth...
i`m gonna tease and maybe parlay these two.....
3)jaguars+4....i`ll buy the full point if i have to....perfect spot....miami coming off a huge road win vs the g`nts....fred taylor beginning to come around....jimmy smith back with a bang....those huge tackles for the jags (haynesworth and henderson) controling williams....jags have a bye week coming up and i have to think this game means much more to them(in-state rivalry and all).....and maybe most importantly,why is this line -3?......doesn`t make any sense to me.....consensus sites showing miami as the strongest consensus percentage on the board this week......i think the jags will finish quite strongly this year....i like the set-up here...
4)seattle-3(bought half) and over 45....seattle has some crazy stat/angle about covering the game after not covering and losing by more than 10.....they walked into a buzzsaw last week in the resurgent packers....looking for a big bounceback vs a still soft,under achieving `9er team....the 49`ers lack something...chemistry?....i don`t know.....until they show something,i`ll take the new improved seahags.....looks like ships passing in the night,heading in opposite directions,division-wise....3`s a bargain,imo.....san fran still has name recognition and garcia and t.o........that gets us the favorable line....i`ll take shawn alexander,hasellbeck.daryl jackson and koren robinson to atone for the poor packer showing and last years infamous "sharpie" stunt by terrell owens....san fran`s rushing defense stats are a little misleading and their pass defense is poor without jason webster....seattle gets huge offensive lineman chris terry back to go along with "also huge" walter jones....leans....not strong.....seattle really doesn`t have a quality win...
leans....of course,i want to jump all over the bucs-3......they have to be in a very foul mood....or do they just tank?......i don`t think so...but this appears to shape up as a very public bounce-back play.....why isn`t this line moving?....consensus boards are showing a heavy lean to tampa....a little scary.....still,gonna play `em very small
also considering pittsburgh+7..with this pass defense vs the denver offense,it looks very easy......that`s why this game is showing over a 70% consensus on denver....a great spot for a pitt bounce back...there is talent on this club,regardless of the recent results....potential for jake and portis to be at less than 100%....
oakland +4(buy a full point)....just hate cleveland as a home favorite....especially off a huge win in which they scored at will.....i know the raiders are bad....just another good situation....
carolina +4....colts in a letdown situation after scoring at will in big tampa win...love to play against clubs that put up huge points the week before and won....
a definite on the gi`nts..a definite on the eagles..a definite on the jags and i`m getting 4 any way i can...also playing the seahags and the over
leans..... the bucs minus the trey lightly....the steelers plus 7....oakland +4..carolina +4.....jets +3....all small
