Well, Hammer had a terrible week last week..........seems the only ones worse were me & Northcoast. He just signed a new contract with ESPN, so you'll be seeing him on TV for awhile to come.
LAST WEEK: 4-8
SEASON: 20-18-1
LAST WEEK ESPN:1-4
SEASON ESPN: 7-8
This Week's Games:
SDIEGO 5-0-2 last 7 on the road. Pats 2-8 as 2nd home game as a fave. Likes the over.
DEN/JAX It will be hot and Denver wilted in Miami in week 1. Tempted to take Denver, their D came up tough last week. Close game, low scoring.
CINN Won't let down, too many weapons for Hou. 3rd in scoring defense.
IND/TENN PASS Indy playing great on D, Tenn not a great team.
PHIL A Reid tough on the road, KC tough, too, but without Roaf.
BALT/NYJ Lean to Balt, but won't lay the 7 as it is too high for a team that can't score. Lewis only has 58 yds. this season & Martin not too much better.
ATL/MINN PASS Atl to have success in running while their 2ndary is banged up . High scoring game = Over.
TAMPA Greise & Cadillac both playing well. Their receivers have blocked good downfield & Detroit has some secondary issues. Lions 2 for their last 9 off a bye.
NYG Rams bad special teams, Bruce dinged up. Over.
NO Duece to run
WASH/SEA PASS Tough game to cap, can't trust Seattle.
OAKLAND Dallas on their 3rd trip west in 4 weeks and can't defend the pass. Sometimes a team (OAK) matures with a loss. Over.
SF Take SF if really forced to.
GBAY Really doesn't like the game.......laments that seasonally he needs some room for error as he often is forced to pick games that he doesn't care for. Carolina 5-16 last 21 as a fave. G Bay is bad & A. Green is done.
Slants for ESPN picks: CINN,OAK,TAMPA & NOR.
More later............THE HITMAN
