14-13-1 (-1.28)

Things just aren't going according to the script early! :cursin:

Big week ahead tho...Really do like a few of these games.

Baltimore -4 (1.83) 2 units.

Not much really to say in this one! Lewis had a huge week with Ogden back in the team. He should be able to run all over this terrible KC defense again this week. Ravens D should be able to hold a limited KC offense to cover the 4.

NYG @ GB over 44 (1.99 @ Pinnacle) (2 units)

League: 22-3 OVER (Av. 51.3) home 7+ fav off 7+ ats loss as away 3+ dog. [GB]
10-0 OVER (Av. 56.5!!) when total >42'


Even without those 'trends' I was expecting a total much closer to the 50 mark. BOTH defences are under-manned and very poor against the pass. Indi exploited GB by passing 22 straight times in the first 22 plays yesterday!!...No reason why Warner and the Giants won't do something similar. NYG scored 27 points (and knelt out the last minute 1 yards from their TD line!) against a much better Cleveland pass D. We know Favre and the Packers can score. One of those games where the stats don't lie...Definately expecting a shoot-out here.

Jacksonville +4 (1.95 @ Infinity)

League: 10-2-1 (Av. loss 0.1) home 7- dog off 3- SU win as away 7- dog. [Jax]
9-1 (7-3 SU! Av. WIN 0.9) if opp was last at home.

League: 22-32-1 (Av. win 2.3) away 7- fav off 7+ ats win as home 7- fav. [Indi]
12-24-1 (Av. win 1.8) if opp was last away.
2-8 (Av. win 3.1) if opp off upset SU win.

I expect Jacksonville to be able to run on this Indi D, who is allowing 4.7 ypr. If they can control the ground game, their D will be able to keep them in the game all the way. 3-0 is no fluke for this team. Defense wins games.

Pittsburgh -3 (1.80)

Bought this game down to 3 to be ultra-safe, but I'm pretty sure the Steelers roll all over a poor Cinci team.
Cinci allowing a massive 5.7 ypc...Steelers only 3.1. Rothesbuger looks very capable of leading this team, and their pass rush should give Palmer more problems. There's also the small matter of revenge from last season's home loss. Think the Steelers win this one easily.

Have 2 more definate plays, but lines moving in my favour atm, so will hold off.

Good Luck all :cool:

No kidding eh! I'm still trying to recover from the severe ass-kicking I took in Week 1. Nothing like starting the season in the hole and having to climb out.

I'm liking some of these plays, in particular Jax. When was the last time you saw an undefeated home dog in Week 4 in the NFL? The 30/90 Systems also support a play against Indy, among many other factors. I have a feeling I am going to be riding these Jags for a long time...until they don't cover, at least.

Good luck on your plays!

Raising Jax +4 to a 2 unit play.

WAY too many good trends/systems that favour them this week.
GM's systems picks, Nolan has some good ones in his thread...and now I've gone back a little further in my own....

Dating back to '89....
League: 24-3-2, home 7- dog off 3- SU win as away 7- dog!! [Jax]
15-5 SU!!! (18-2 ats...Av. WIN 3.8) if opp was last at home!!


Also the 2-8 Indi situation becomes a 6-12 SU (4-14 ats...Av. LOSS 1.2) since '89!

Oh, and there's also a 27-1 ats League trend since Wk.12 '90 with the Jags that Nolan highlighted in Wk.2.

I should have the spuds to take the Jags on the ML...but I'll stick with the +4 at this stage.


Tenn -3 (2 units)

League: 13-1-2 (Av. win 9.1) away 3- favs off 3- SU loss as home 3+ fav. [Tenn] (Since '90)
League: 9-25 SU (Av. loss 7.7) home dog off 10+ SU loss as away 10+ dog. [SD]
1-8 (Av. loss 12.0) if 3- dog.
0-7 since '99.

Really do like the way this game sets up.

Volek is extremely capable...Possibly the best back-up QB going round. (Besides Ferotte maybe?).
Get a low line on the Titans who roll SD by a TD or more...who-ever starts as QB.

New Orleans -3

Got a League trend that is 0-18-1 this number for Arizona here!! (since '89)

Last 3 years NO: 5-0 as road fav of 3 or less.
7-1 on the road when total 38-42

Simply a trend pick.

Right, reckon that's it for me.

Good Luck everyone. :cool:

I definitely agree with you on Tennessee laying just a field goal on the road in San Diego.

Volek is a proven QB who can handle this offense. Tyrone Calico is also apparently returning this week. Calico will help take attention off Mason when he returns.

Tennesse should be looking sharp in sunny San Diego. :shade:

GO TITANS!!

christo, curious : why are the one man off "titans" a good road fav and the colts are not ?

seriously, what is the reasoning ? not trying to be a dick, but the titans are hurting. i have tremendous respect for mcnair. but every year his cast gets weaker. the colts are loaded on off adn weak at def. but they will score 21+. can the jags keep up ?

That's cool, Elvis! (ha...did you like that! :lol: )...sorry! :D...

2 reasons.
i) The opposition. San Diego are (imho) terrible, and the Jags are for real.
LOVE the Jags D...and someone else (sorry!..can't think who atm) made a great point about their offense. Aneamic?...Yeah, but they have played Buff, Denv and Tenn...all definately in the top 10 D's in the league....now they face an Indi D allowing the WORST pass yards in the NFL and 4.7 ypr.
I'm of the firm belief that defense wins games. I love it ugly! (Football only of course! :scared ).
Remember last season, in much the same situation, Jax won 28-23, and had 174 yards rushing to Indi's 47!!!!
Jax defense and running game keep them in this one all the way, imo!


As I said, SD are crap! Tenn are still a good team. Solid D. Volek quality back-up if required. Brown 100% better than that over-rated dud, George! They WILL score on a terrible SD defense.

ii) I do put a lot of faith in history, and league 'trends'....and as you can see:
Jax are in a 24-3-2 situation...and a 27-1 situation since 1989!!!
Tenn are in a 13-1-2 situation since 1990.
I'll take those % every time. :toast:
