Buffalo wil probably be my biggest play of the day. I will steer clear of the Dolphins simply because I have a rule about not asking bad teams to do something good for me till they show they actually can. I broke that rule yesterday with Penn St in a very easy spot against Iowa and got reminded why I have that rule, I think that is the first time I bet on a team that scored 4 friggin points and still almost got the cover.

Wow, Eagles almost lost today. But I'm glad they almost did- they needed that wake up call.

Everything went wrong in that Buffalo game. Bledsoe throws 4 picks, 1 that is returned for a touchdown, 1 that is returned to the 6. Can't win like that.

Well, everything had to go wrong for them not to cover that spread, but i still like the reasoning. And that hunch about the dolphins sure was right.

As someone mentioned, there's so much parity in the NFL it's almost impossible. And then there is the point spread too. Last week I lost the Phily game when the eagles gave up a nothing touchdown but I managed to win the 2 night games (Chicago and NYJ)

I made alot on hockey over the years so I miss that.
I have an NBA parley every night (3 games which give 7-1 odds)
I won on opening night but lost yesterday.

For tonight, I think Minnesota +2 At Denver is really a good pick.
I dont know anything about the new team Charlotte, they're a 4 point dog at home against the Wizards.

I like that T-Wolves game, Garnett is a freak, 28 points and 20 rebounds on opening night, what is wrong with him?

Charlotte has a chance to be the worst team of all time IMO. Okafur is okay, but I don't know if he has the jumper or inside game to be a dominant power forward or center in this league. He was a man among boys in the NCAA, but he won't be able to dominate any more and I don't see him as any more than at best a 10 point, 10 rebound guy, which is alright, but you'd expect so much more out of your first ever draft choice.

They got tough luck. It was a weak draft this year. Too bad they didn't come into the league last year, that class was incredible.
