I should just fade Artie Lange, that fat bassard....LOL. But here are my picks for the week, gang...
COLTS -9 -102 vs Jets
Indy is due for a blowout win, and I think the Jets have played a little over their heads so far against average teams. Manning goes off Sunday in a big statement game. Colts by 20.
CHARGERS -2 -111 vs Ravens
Rivers will be fine. I could hand off to LT 35 times, throw a couple floaters to Gates, and get the win for the Bolts. Ravens really should have lost to the lowly Browns last week. Who's better Merriman or Lewis? I'll take Merriman, LT, Gates and the Chargers by 10.
VIKINGS Even +107 vs Bills
This is my play of the week. Minny should be a fg road fav in my books. Vikings have surprised alot this year, and look like a real solid team. With steady and under-rated Brad Johnson they are strategic, they avoid mistakes and they take advantage of field position. Last week they had the Bears beat if not for a fourth quarter fumble and they would have been 3-0 against a tough early schedule. For Buffalo, JP Losman really reminds me of Rob Johnson (this is not a good thing) he has the tools, but finds a way to lose. The Bills had a 300 yd passer, a 150 yard rusher, and two 100 yd receivers last week and STILL LOST to the lowly Jets. That means something bigger is wrong with them Bisons. Minnesota by 7.
JAGUARS -2.5 -112 vs Redskins
Yeah...nice work Brunell, nice little record you got there....but that was against the fucking Texans. Jax could have the best defence in the NFL, and Brunell will struggle this week. The Colts needed a punt-return touchdown to beat Jax last week in a game dominated by Jax in the first half. Washington is still shit, and that big win over Houston gives me a gift of a less than fg line. Thanks Houston, at least your good for something. Jax by 13.
BROWNS -2.5 -108 vs Oakland
I still can't get that Raiders/Chargers game out of my head. Wow was Oakland bad. This week at QB they start some prick named Andrew Walter?? Didn't that guy sell me insurance last year?? Last week Walter completed 10 passes to his own team, and 3 passes to the other team. He also lost a fumble and was sacked 6 times. Browns looked decent last week against Baltimore, Charlie Frye had 298 passing yards in a confidence-building game. He should get his first win of the year against the Raider-ettes. And Walter....why is my deductable so bloody high?? Browns by 10.
BEARS -3 -120 vs Seahawks
Bought it down to a FG as I really think Chicago gets it done at home against a Alexander-less Seahawk team that seems to play better in Washington. Without last years MVP in the game, the crazy-tough Bears defence can concentrate on shutting down Hasselback and the passing game. Bears by 6.
SAINTS +7.5 -107 vs Panthers
See alot of UC'ers all over Carolina in this one, but New Orleans has looked great, and it comes down to simple math...a 3-0 team getting more than a TD against a 1-2 team? I'll take the 7.5 and hope for no letdown. Carolina by 7.
GL everyone....and have a great weekend. :booz: :yeah:
