The Football Challenge at Station Casinos Week 10

[WhatsHisNuts]

Season: 24-19-2
LW: 2-3

Not having great success in the last couple of weeks, so I'm looking to break out with a solid week. Nothing looked good when I first reviewed the card, but they started looking better this morning.

Redskins +7 - This is a Don Wallace special. I don't like it, but I'm going to tail Don and hope for the best. I've tried to stay away from betting on teams away from home, but I like the 7 points in an important Divisional game.
What's everyone betting on: PHI 69% WAS 31%

Cardinals +7 - They have had a week off to get their heads on straight at home, and this is their chance to win back some respect. Dallas has played 3 consecutive tough games and this will be the final game of a 3 game road trip. Bad spot for Dallas.
What's everyone betting on: DAL 79% ARZ 21%

Falcons -8 - Time for a little Falcon revenge, and the Browns are in a very bad spot. Second straight road game against a tough offense, with their rival Steelers on the docket for next week. Falcons rested up against the Lions, now it's time to get back to winning against bad teams. CLE has been screwing all year, I hope this ends that trend.
What's everyone betting on: ATL 84% CLE 16%

Dolphins +1 - As mentioned before....If MIA is going to play well, it is now. They should be confident and ready to play a KC team that has been battling tough teams for four straight weeks, and now they are on the road for the second straight week.
What's everyone betting on: KC 97% MIA 3%

Giants -2.5 - Toughest pick to make. It was between the G-Men and the Bengals, and I decided this was the better game. I hate the fact that the Giants have a MNF game next week, but I have to believe they are going to be focused on the Bears. The Bears have to be a little less than confident after last week.
What's everyone betting on: NYG 58% CHI 42%

Gmo good luck but man i think this is a dangerous week to bet. Books won a ton last week and that usually follows a lot of public wins. Your Miami pick i like a lot. Probably my best bet of the week. Falcons in an honest world they just drill this team. They are (Cleve)completely banged up. My feelings this week is its gonna be an honest world. giants? in my opinion they are the best team in the east. I said it right after they played Indy and i still say it now. Unfortunately the injury bug is catching them. Grossman is a joke who is another quarterback in this league who's defense carries him. Wash its strange how the NFL works on how the teams tend to get closer with their records. If i was to take Washington it would be straight up. To me if Philly wins it wins big. Arz. Id like them better if the line was 6.5 but its 7. Good luck bro i think this is gonna be a very difficult week. If i was in this contest id be happy with a split. Oh by the way, what was the college game they offered?

Hey Sponge: I agree with you about the "dangerous week" for betting, but I have to pick 5 a week in this contest ...and I would be be happy with 3-2, but I need at least 4-1 to climb back towards the money.

Sounds like you like my side (for the most part) on these games, so let's hope they hit. Hopefully, the book will beat the public's dicks in the dirt this weekend and I'll get back on track.

College game offered:
Oregon at USC (-7.5)

Good luck this weekend. About the Wash/Philly game, I understand the divisional underdog mentality, but keep in mind Philly had a chance to rest up some key players last week during their bye. Also, Stallworth finally should be healed from his hamstring and will open the field up. Couple this with the fact that Washington won in an extreme fashion against probably their most heated rival. Lastly, this still is the Redskins offense we are talking about and on the road to boot. Tough call.

jr11: I'm tailing someone else on the Skins pick. I'd probably take the points anyway, but I do see your point. Colin Cowherd mentioned that Andy Reid is 7-0 after a bye week, and I'm sure Vegas is aware of that. 7 points seems a little high, so I think the Skins are a good value play here.

It was between the G-Men and the Bengals, and I decided this was the better game.

For the love of Pete, I hope the Giants kill the Bears because I was soooo close to taking the Bengals. This could be the third week in a row that I chose wrong on my last and final pick between two games.

Go Giants!

CLE has been screwing all year, I hope this ends that trend.

Let the porking continue....CLE 14 ATL 0

LOL. Scratch that thought. How do they go up 21-0 at home and lose? Stupid Bungles.
