Agreed. Dennis Erikson one of the worst coaches in football. Classic right place at the right time type story his whole life, in my opinion. Oddly, Pinnacle only bumped the 49ers up a point, to +4. I have seen too many games this year be blowouts in this spot. ie: Miami/Jacks, Ten/Jacks....Maybe Jacks has something to do with it, but as brought up in this forum many times this year, the public looks like they've come out on top this year for the most part. I had this game circled as a play on SF, but w/Garcia out, and Erikson at the helm, and a FG kicker trying to learn the system, this could spell disaster. Although, one of my old theories was to play a team starting a new/backup QB their 1st week, thought is the team rallies around them, and they can come up w/a pt. spread cover. However, Vegas usually helps out in this spot, as the team is usually a 7pt doggie. Guess Tim Rattay is only worth 1 pt. Scary thought folks....:shrug:
Baltimore seems overpriced I think....Jacksonville is just a terrible team though. At home, Baltimore's defense works on all cylinders...However, they will need to go to the air to cover the number, I feel. Jacksonville is allowing an avg. 91.6 Rushing yds, but 214.3 in the air. Mysteriously, this game could stay close. Opened at 6.5, guessing the wiseguys pounded it to 7, and the public is sending it back down to 6.5...?
Found these on some site...

With the hometown Patriots playing on Sunday, our 4pm game is Dallas/Washington. Good time to take care of some yardwork! If there are two teams that I loathe more, I'd be hardpressed to think of them off the top of my head. Cowboys overrated, Washington overrated. Total of 38 seems low for 2 teams that just toss the ball aimlessly around....
Good luck guys!
