Ended NFLX 19-14-1....

...Now onto the real stuff!!

Played these two already....

Detroit -3 (2.00)

Don't be fooled by Detroit's slow start to the pre-season. The coaching staff were quite happy to run a very cut back offense, so they didn't reveal anything for the 'real' season. They get their chance v. Green Bay. The Detroit offense should have no problems rolling over a very poor Green Bay defense, and I expect their run D to keep Green in check. Favre's best years are behind him, and there is usually a turnover or two when he starts to trow the ball too often. If Harrington can stay healthy, Detroit are a genuine chance to win the division and I expect them to start with a big home win first up.

Buffalo v. Houston under 38 (2.04) (Took it down a point)

Buffalo have shown through the pre-season that their defense is top class (as last year), but with Losman at QB they will struggle to score, and they definately won't score quickly! Houston will try to establish a running game, but will struggle to move the ball at all against this Bills' D. Provided there aren't a heap of turnovers creating short field oppertunities for either side, I expect this one to be a very low scoring game.

Good Luck all

Tease: Carolina -1/2 - Indi/Balt under 53.5 (1.91)

NO just have too many distractions to deal with, surely!
The Panthers will want revenge from last year...In that game Foster and Davis were both out and Carolina had 3 TO's to NO zero.
The Panthers should be able to run the ball effectively all day, and I can't see them dropping this game.

Indi still have one of th most formidable offenses in the NFL...Baltimore still have Kyle Boller!
The Ravens should have some success on the ground, and be able to put together some long, time consuming drives.
As good as Indi are, last year when they played top-line defenses they scored; 24 @ NE, 24 @ Jax, 24 v. Jax, 20 v. Balt, 14 @ Denver and 3 @ NE.
Last season's meeting ended 20-10.


I reckon that's it for me this week, so good luck out there!

GL this weekend, Lions should be able to move the ball on a terrible GB defense.

Thanks guys. :mj14:

Best of luck to you all aswell.

Seattle @ Jax under 39.5

This total is down to 38 in places and will continue to drop, as Hurricane Ophilia has parked itself of the Jacksonville coast. Heavy rain, thunderstorms and (more importantly) 20 mph winds are forecast all weekend, which will obviously make scoring tough.
Even without the weather, this is a high total for a Jacksonville game. They played 10 home games last year and 8 went under this total. (The 2 that didn't were 41 v. Indi, and 40 v. Detroit after OT).
Seattle only scored over 20 twice on the road last year (@ SF and Min).
At the very least I expect a decent middle shot here come gametime.
