6-0 last week = 5 straight winning weeks.

19-8 all up. (Anything above 66% looks pretty doesn't it! :00hour )

San Diego -10 (2.04)

League: 3-9-1 (1-11-1 this no...Av. loss 18.6) away 10+ dog, total 40.5+ off a BYE. [Oak]
(0-1 2006. SF 10-41 Chic @ +16.5)

Big 'dog, plus big total = bad D! Not sure why the BYE has such a significant negative impact, but it seems to hurt teams offensively...they av. just 12.9 ppg, and only one of those 13 teams topped 20!

League: 10-1 (Av. win 20.5!) home 10+ fav, off a 21q+ ats win as away (-3 to +3) with 30+ mins TOP. [SD]
(2-0 2006. Balt 28-6 Oak @ -13.5. SD 40-7 Ten @ -11.
1-0 2007. Dal 35-7 SL @ -13)

SD got rolling last week and shouldn't have too much trouble carrying it into this week against an Oakland D who are allowing 5.3 y/rush!
The Chargers have won the last 7 meetings and covered 7 of the last 8, and there's no room for complacency here with Oakland sitting atop the Div in a very tight early race.
SD flex some muscle here and win big. Happy to take the 10 at a good price.

SL @ Baltimore under 37.5

League: 3-14-1 under (Av. total 38.9...av. score 34.3) away 7+ dog, off a 1-3 ats win as a home dog, if opp is off a SU win. [SL]
(0-1 under 2007. Buff 3-26 Pits @ 38.5)
0-12 under (Av. total 38.9...av. score 30.2) if they last had <30 mins TOP.


Before last weeks explosion the Rams had scored 13, 16, 3 & 7. I know the Raven D hasn't been great to this point, but I have to think it's better than the Cards...(although they are 4th in overall D!)
...besides, they won't have Warner firing a no-huddle offense against them here either. They'll have boring, predictable old Baltimore, who controlled the ball for 38 mins this week for just 3 FG's!!! :scared
They held SF to just 6 FD's so hopefully that D is starting to warm up.

Carolina @ 'Zona under 41

League: 2-15 under (Av. total 40.4...av. score 33.6) home 3+ fav, off a 1-3 ats loss as away fav, ith 30+ mins TOP. [Zona]
(0-1 under 2006. Caro 21-18 NO @ 41)
0-10 under (Av. total 42.5...av. score 33.8) if total is >40.5


I know I just said how bad the Cards D is...but we've seen in the last 2 weeks how bad Carr is!
I watched the game last week and he appears to have very poor arm strength...I can't remember his throwing a ball more than 10 yards in the air. He also makes some very poor decisions in the red zone, so FG's instead of TD's could be the order of the day. (They only scored 16 last week against NO after all!!)
They've allowed 20+ in only one game this season, so they are holding up ok defensively.

Minni @ Chicago over 37

League: 18-3 over (Av. total 36.4...av. score 47.6!) as a 3+ dog, with more than 6 days rest, total <38, if opp last won 10+ ats in a game that went 'over' [Min]
(1-0 over in 2006. Mia 31-13 Chic @ 37.5)
10-1 over (Av. total 36.0...av. score 51.2!!) if opp was last away.


Just a case of this Chicago D being over-rated, currently giving up 23 ppg...and really should have been more with GB going ultra conservative in the second half this week. Minni should have a huge game on the ground, and they've been a bit under-rated offensively, scoring nearly 17 ppg.
I said in their last game that I thought their D was a bit misleading...played some low scoring teams and a Det back-up QB...Chicago have scored 27 both weeks now with Griese starting, so really like getting the 37 here.

That's it for now...will be on Houston, but hoping the line ticks over to 7.

Good Luck all :cool:

Thanks guys...appreciate the kind words. :toast:

Could be a bad week to jump onboard tho, over-due for a nasty one.... :scared

Tampa v. Tennessee under 37.5

Both these teams have very good D's...2nd and 3rd in passing @ 5.22 & 5.51 y/pass, less than 3.9 y/rush and around the 15 ppg mark.
In fact, Indi is the only team that have scored more than 14 on the Titans!!
20-13 last week v. Atlanta, but that included a 50+ yard fumble return TD and a 60+ INT return TD.
Again, Indi is the only team to have scored more than 20 on Tampa, and they've allowed just 14 and 3 at home.
I have the Titans in a 1-12 ats situation, with an av. score of just 13.3...but I simply can't see TB scoring over 20, so I think the under is the better option.
Williams and Pittman out of their running game. Hilliard day to day and will be limitted by an ankle injury...
Tenn are 0-4 under on the season as their defense continues to get undervalued...and TB have 'overs' to only the unstoppable Indi, and the unstopping Saints...and also remarkably both teams are running the ball more than throwing...Tenn @ 58% and Bucs @ 54%
20-17 looks a stretch!

Houston +6.5 (2.02)

League: 10-29-3 (Av. win 0.0) home 3+ fav, off a 7+ ats win as away (-3 to +3) with 34+ mins TOP if opp had 30+ mins TOP. [Jax]
1-10-2 (4-9 SU!...av. LOSS 6.3) if total <38.
(0-2 2006. Pits 7-31 Balt @ -3.5. TB 7-23 Seattle @ -3
0-1 2007. Caro 21-34 Houston @ +6.5)

Houston are in a 10-1 ats spot of their own...3 common games, but still a combined 19-2 at this number!

Looks to me to be a very even game. Can a team av'ing 15.8 ppg expect to be favoured by nearly a TD?
The Jags have a slight advantage on the ground, but passing stats are almost identical...
Houston 7.87 y/pass, allow 6.62
Jax 7.73, allow 6.85.
Houston won here SU last year as +10 'dogs...controlling the game with over 37 mins TOP!
In fact, they won both meetings SU last year and have covered 8 of 10.

I am going to the Bucs/Titans live and will put some money on it. Not sure what I am taking yet. Tampa locals realize that the most devastating injury was that of offensive lineman Luke Petigout. Graham and Darbry will split carries, but neither is a homerun hitter and I don't think the Bucs will average more than 3 to 3.5 yards per carry. I wouldn't be shocked to see Gruden air it out a little bit more than usual, but then again that isn't really Garcia's forte. Plus, Gruden knows that the only way to win this game will be on defensive side of the ball. Bucs seem to be very confident they can stop Vince Young. Bucs will play solid D and slow down Titans attack. Last week's poor defensive performance can be thrown out of the equation considering the Bucs played against the surgeon Manning who is virtually unstoppable this season, especially if you can't get pressure on him. More I think about it the more I like the under. Game will likely come down to turnovers, and I have to say that Young and Titans are more likely to turn it over than Garcia and Bucs, that is as long as the Bucs keep the ball out of Clayton's hands, who sucks and will fumble. I like the Bucs to win this game also, but they might only win it by a FG.

Well...not sure if it will help, Dizz, but I also have this...

League: 1-12 (Av. loss 15.4!) away dog, off a 1-3 ats loss as a 3+ fav, with <30 mins TOP, if opp is off a 7+ ats loss.
0-5 (Av. loss 20.2!) if they were a 7+ fav...

...and 0-9 SU (0-8-1 @ -3) as any dog, off a 1-3 ats loss as a 7+ fav with <30 mins TOP. [Tenn]

Indicates that they were lucky to even get that close to covering last week and so being over-valued here...
...but, like I said, I don't think TB can top 20. :shrug:


Anyway, have a good day...and same to everyone else. :toast:

Right...one last play and I'm outta here...

Ronnie Brown over 100.5 rushing (2.25)

Brown's last 3 weeks have produced 114, 134 and 112 yards.
He now faces a Brown's run D that is 4th worst in the NFL @ 4.9 y/carry, and 3rd worst 157.4 y/game.
So far Cleveland have allowed 109/27 to Parker [Pits av. 167 y/games @ 4.8], 118/23 to Johnson [83 @ 3.5], 121/29 to Jordon [194 @ 5.3], 104/14 to Lewis [113 @ 4.0] and 102/21 last week to Morris [155 @ 4.5]
Miami run for 103 yards per game @ 4.7!

Now, the downside is that Lemon will be QB, so they could stack the run...BUT he did go 114 last week (against a far better D)...
...AND, Cleo may well be his upside too...in that he will likely get more carries. (Last week was his equal high 23 carries v. his av. of just 15 in the first 4 games.)

Definately a better than even shot imo. :cool:

Thanks again. I like the way you think on the Brown bet. I listened to the Fins game last week on South Florida radio and everybody was talking about how Brown has come into his own this season. The guy is unbelievable.

MrChristo, I am on several of your plays and I like a couple more. Below is what I bet. Good luck to us.

Bears O37
Bucs U37.5
SD -9.5 (raiders give up 5.3 per rush, bad news vs. LT and Turner)
Houston +6.5 (texans playing tough D and Jax limited offense)
Bucs -3 (think Young struggles vs. Tampa D and turnovers will lead to scores for Bucs D or Garcia with short field)
Cowboys +5.5 (huge action game so I will go anti-public, the spread is too large for a team that is undefeated and at home. scare last week to Bills was wake up call for Dallas, who has a very good team. Brady and co. are great, but they are still human and crowd and homefield are huge edge for Dallas)

Great run. You're on fire!

On a sidenote, are you in Tasmania or New Zealand? I only ask because I have a friend in Tasmania.

"It's a game of inches" ...is probably the most over-used phrase in sports...
...but thanks Ronnie Brown, you're a star! :00hour

This is all getting a bit freaky...not one to usual believe in the "being due" theory, but tempted to quit the year right now... :scared

In Tasmania, Quagmire...bit surprised PAWA didn't chip in with a small town/every knows everyone comment there actually! :mj07: ...
...which part is your friend in?
