Not many games that I like this week. Vegas is going to try and recapture some of its money that escaped on last Sunday. Hopefully none of it will be my money.........or yours if you are reading this site. Here is what I have so far:
Seahawks +2 I know that the 49ers are the trendy pick here, but I have to stick to my guns on this one. I know that the 49ers beat the Cards on the road but the Cardinals looked rusty. While the Seahawks dusted off less than stellar Rams team. I just do not think Shaun Hill is ready to be laying points to a healthy Seahawks squad. Both teams have a less than stellar secondaries and the 49ers might be a little over confident after beating last years NFC champion. The 49ers bottled up the Cards run game last week but their run game is less than impressive. If Jones can establish a run game Hassleback should be able have the play action opportunity. If the Seahawks can bottle up Gore that will force Hill to throw, which isnt a goood propostion. Loss.
Falcons -6 I don't like to bet on my team, but the defense looked good last week Peterson and Williams paid immediate dividends. Hopefully Ryan is a little crisper this week with his throws. Delhomme is on the hook and will be pressing in this game which will lead to mistakes and money in my account. I half expected the spread on this game to be -9, so I am a little surprised. This is a divisional game so I expect the Falcons to bring their A game. Turner was contained against the Dolphins, who have a nice defense so hopefully he has a coming out party for this game. Win.
Raiders +3 Did I just write that? I was impressed with the Raiders on Monday night against the Chargers, while they had a late loss, this Raider team is too young to let it bother them. Seymour made a huge difference on the D-line. I hope to see him doing push-ups on top of Brody Croyle a few times during this game. The Cheifs are hot garbage, yeah they put up points on the Ravens but 14 of those points were dumb luck, the Chiefs had no offensive production and the Raiders D was great against the "powerhouse offensive juggernaut that is the Chargers". Bowe won't even catch a ball in this game you can write that down. I like the Raiders running game too as well as Russell hitting his TE. I am looking for the Raiders to come in to Arrowhead and get a win against their hated division rivals here and I will gladly take the points! Win.
Saints +1 This is my projected line here as the actual spread has not been posted. The Eagles O-line is in bad shape and that will show in this contest especially with Kolb under center. Drew Brees is quite possibly the best QB in the game right now. Sean Payton knows how to beat Andy Reid. Brees is known for torchinfg the Eagles secondary and that was while the Eagles had Dawkins. The Saints D is improved and with Kolb as the signal caller the Saints will focus on containing Westbrook, willing the Eagles to throw on an improved Saints secondary. Don't be fooled by the Saints giving up 27 to the Lions. 14 of those points were scored on special teams and the Lions D, the Saints got 3 picks off Stafford and with the old ball hawk Darren Sharper roaming the field he will look to feast on Kolb's bad decisions. Win.
Ravens +3 This is another projected line from yours truly as Bodog is taking thier sweet time posting the spreads. Cam Cameron will have an excellent game plan lined up for his former employers, just as he did against the Dolphins last year. Flacco will have deep throws available due to the Chargers inability to pass rush. Look for Rice, Mcclain to have big days as the Chargers have some injuries up front and were unable to conatin the Raiders rushing game.Win.
Giants +3 I almost fell off my chair when I read this line and immediately dropped an 8 unit play on the Giants. The Cowboys will be under enormous pressure from Jones to win their home opener in their new stadium. The Giants are road warriors and will not be fazed by the 600,000 square foot screen hanging over the field. The Giants are 21-6 ATS on the road since 2006, Plus teams opening new stadiums are 5-7 ATS. The spread on this game suggests that these teams are equal, which they are not. The Cowboys struggled against the lowly Bucs who do not even have a play book, Dallas was unable to sack Leftwich, who is slow and taked forever to wind up. The Giants D-line is nasty and will dictate this game. I like this game alot. Vegas is trying to trap the casual bettor into laying money on Dallas don't buy it.Win.
There we go folks, a HUGE slate of action for us on Sunday as the Blanket attempts to improve on his 4-0 NFL start!
Season Record 9-1
