I like the Jets.

Early looks, I kinda like KC -3 and STL -3. I'll have to see what the lines are at Sports Interaction, because they're never the same.

EDIT: My book has the KC game at -3.5 110, which is annoying. Nevertheless, I think the line changes and I wouldn't be surprised if it got as high as 4. I threw a unit on TEN -19 110, not for any other reason than to root for the biggest underdog this weekend. :)

Ouch :eek:

I like the Rams a LOT. I expect that line to move.

I'm one of the richest and baddest muthafucka's of all time. Hold my drink, bitch.

:thumbsup:

IT's kinda weird... I have almost every single line a half point less for the favorite ( for example TB vs NO I have -6 not -6.5 etc)

Yes the KC line will move to -3.5, possibly to -4

I currently have the Oakland/ SF line at -3, but it'll eventually move to what u have listed as -3.5

I also have SD at -3, which will also move to what u gave listed

I dont have the Rams/Packers line listed on my site -- but I'd be weary about this game. As bad as the Packers are, they can pull things together on their home turf and the Rams are not a good away team

Philly is on a short week, but Im thinkin a basic pick'em at home vs the cowboys is a decent bet... We'll see how the week comes about

Picks for the Week

TEN -19 IND
Fun pick. I haven't seen this disgusting of a spread for a while, and on a whim I decided to take the dog w/ the points. Let's go TEN!

KC -3.5 ARI
Matt Lienart has the start for ARI this week, and I don't think that's a good thing. That's not saying that Kurt Warner is the guy I'd go with, but playing your first real NFL game with ARI's offensive line is going to be rough. Oh and yea, KC has Larry Johnson.

NYJ +7.0 JAX
I like JAX, I think they are a good team and I often find myself rooting for them even when money isn't on the line. That being said, however, this pick is made purely for financial reasons. NYJ lost to the Colts and the Pats (in close games), while JAX recently struggled w/ Washington. If Mark Bulger was able to blow up JAX secondary, I don't think Chad Pennington will have that hard of a time. Laverneous Coles is questionable to play, which might throw this pick off at a closer spread, but getting 7 pts, I like NYJ.

Anyone else?

That would be Brunell. The jags are tough to figure.They never seem to quite get it together.

Ty. I thought Brunell, but I typed Bulger.

me too. not just cuz im from STL either.

Good start for this pick.

Looks like it'll be 10-0 IND going into the half. We'll see if TEN can come out and put something on the board. You know IND will.

EDIT: LOL.

Actually, it was 10-0 TEN at the half!

Funyn thing is, when you typo'd TEN -19 earlier, I almost offered to put up any amount of money against this... and here (at least at the half), it looked like they had a chance to cover that!

I knew that Redskins game was a trap game (after big games against Pitt and Indy)... glad to see our defense back to form today, even w/a number of starters out.

Chargers are looking good right now, that NT is a load.

Off topic, Congrats on being handed todays a game on a silver platter by the way :o

I only bet one game this weekend: GG Eagles!

Great finish to that game, btw.

How did the Jets win 2 games?

Steelers 1-3. Wow.

This was a huge off day for the Jets.....3 INTs 2 fumbles, 2 blocked punts and 2 roughing the passer calls....WOW

They will finish 10-6 though this year (mostly due to a weak schedule...but still) and that should get them in the post season....

Zy, there was only 1 punt blocked and 1 fumble. I will give you that those roughing the passer calls were very questionable.

Has their run defense been that bad all year? And have they always been using max protection for Pennington? Just seemed like he had no one to throw to with so few receivers running routes.
