Episode XV "The Rattler Stikes Back" (Week 15 picks)

[Mr Rattler]

Today, we are making amends for last week's 2-5 horrible record. Sorry, not much time for write-ups.


Sunday 1pm

2 Team 7 Point Teaser Win

New England -2
Kansas City -4

Two home teams playing revenge games. Pats have not lost to same team twice in one year in like 10 years. Chiefs are in must win spot/


Cinn/Clev UNDER 45 Win
2 sputtering offenses vs 2 decent defenses. Johnny Football will have problems today and so will the red head.

 

[Mr Rattler]

Ravens UNDER 45 Win

Jags will have difficult day, as usual, offensively. Ravens bring to much pressure for the rookie to absorb. Talk at the camp says that Forsett will get limited touches today as they try to rest him for the tougher opponents. Ravens try to get the big lead then get conservative. Jags defense could actually cause some impedance. Would lean Jags +14 and Under for Forsett's rushing total (Both winners)

2 Team 7 Point Teaser: Win

Atlanta +10
Colts Pk

-Falcons have played best ball of late. Close games past 6 weeks. Soft Steelers defense will prove ripe for Ryan
-Luck vs Fitzpatrick. Houston just doesn't have what it takes to win a big game like this on the road



*** Back by 330pm

Thanks Rattler, this teaser is money! Colts have won 21 of 25 meetings in the history of this matchup and NEVER lost to the Texans at home. Good luck today

agree....I think Atlanta/pitt and cincy/cleve are the two most interesting games today(one defensive struggle,one shootout).....I`m actually going to stream the cincy- cleve game(I seldom stream nfl with redzone on the tube)....

the over/under on the steelers/falcs must be around 60....

Not sure how anyone can handicap Pittsburgh this year. I watch every game and I cant tell which team will show up. The secondary got much better with Ike out.

2nd Half Play

Ravens -7.5 Win

A rare 2nd half play for me but trust me, that locker room is going fucking berserk right now. Chairs thrown, maybe a fist fight or 2. Ravens will come fired up in the 2nd half. Jags SHOULD be up by double digits

 

[Mr Rattler]

Afternoon Starts

Tenn +3 L
Hold your nose on this one, but I can't see the Jets laying wood to ANYONE on the road. JAke Locker starting may be a plus


San Fran +9 L
The Niners will give A effort today and at least keep this one close. Lots of points to give a good defensive team.

 

[tulah]

I like the Tennessee play. Jets shouldn't be road favs to anyone.
Best of luck today.:0074

 

[Mr Rattler]

5-2 day. Passing on tonight's game, but leaning Dallas. If Philly wasn't coming off a loss, it would have been a play.


*** Will have play tomorrow. Check back by 7pm Monday. G/L ****

 

[Four Corners]

Nice comeback yesterday Mr. Rattler.

Monday Night

Saints -3

Saints defense is awful, giving up 27 points or more in each of the past 5 games. However, in the Saints last 3 wins, they held their opponents to under 100 yards. Chicago's run game has disappeared. Bears have totaled 48 yards on the ground the past 2 games combined (24 yards/game). Bears 1-5 ATS and SU in games where the posted total is 50 or more.
