ok assholes here is some simple reasoning behind my plays:
first off the tampa/philly game. i think everyone will agree that these are the 2 best defenses in the NFL and I think that tampa bay has a slightly better defense than the eagles. i think the numbers are there to support that. i give slight edge to tampa defense. special teams is just about a wash as both teams have decent return men and above average kickers. dont be surprised if karl "the truth" williams busts a return for a touchdown this game. now the offense is where i think tampa bay has an advantage. many people think the eagle offense is better because of donovan but that is simply not the case. with brad johnson running this offense they are very solid and he wont turn the ball over. the eagles offense on the other hand hasnt shown me anything with donovan at QB, hell they looked better with feeley running the show. the last 5 games mcnabb has played in(not counting the arizona game because i could even put up 38 points on that terrible defense) they have scored 20, 13, 19, 17, 20 points. not very impressive is it? compare that to the last 5 games brad johnson has played where tampa has scored 31, 23 ,34, 20, 21. the 2 teams have gone against comparable defenses over those 5 game stretches too. oh yeah that stout atlanta defense they held philly to 13 offensive points last week was carved up by brad johnson and the bucs a few weeks earlier for 34 points. looks like to me the bucs have a much better offense and that will be enough for them to overcome the home field advantage and win this by a touchdown.
now to the titans and raiders. oakland favored by 8 points are you fawking kidding me???? this has to be a joke right??? did somebody not tell vegas that the titans have won 11 of their last 12??? well i guess vegas knew what they were doing because there are alot of idiots out there jumping on the raiders and pushing the line upward. thanks guys drive up that moneyline as high as you want because the titans win this game. the raiders were given no respect last week as everyone was saying the jets are on fire and are going to beat the raiders at the black hole. yeah right. this week the titans are given no respect and they have the complete team. mcnair is the best QB in the league, yes i said best in the league. he can do it all. hes very tough to bring down and has a rocket for an arm. him not practicing this week will be a good thing, as he didnt practice the last 5 or so weeks of the season and he completely tore up the opposing defenses. the titans will light up the scoreboard against this average raiders defense. this titan defense is very solid and kearse and carter are going to wreak havoc in the oakland backfield. if gannon isnt given time to throw their offense is crap. kearse and carter will be able to pressure gannon and knock him out of rythym without even having to blitz him. nobody is giving the titans a chance in this game and thats why i love them even more.
hey scotty TITFD on tampa and titans moneylines!!!!
