ytd 70-54 (+45.18 units)
dog ml's (included in ytd): 8-10 (+3.91)

1pm games:

Buffalo Bills -3 (-125)

Green Bay beats horrible Miami and crappy Arizona (who I believe packed it in for the season after blowing the Chicago game), and now all of a sudden the public loves Favre and co again?

I'm not buying it. All I heard was how bad GB sucks and that Favre should have retired up until 2 weeks ago.

I believe Buf is favored for a reason here....and I see those reasons as:

Buffalo has enough speed on defense to force the issue with Favre, who will sling the ball around and make mistakes when constantly pressured, and because GB's pass defense is horrible, and the Bills speed and playmaking ability at WR should be able to exploit that, which would also open up running lanes for McGahee.

Not thrilled about the -125 juice, but it's not going any lower either unless I wanted to lay -3.5 points.

Miami Dolphins +14 (-115)

What a roller coaster love affair the pub has with Chicago. Completely in love with them after routing Buffalo and Seattle....until the Bears let em down and torch em at Arizona on SNF, then they decide they're overrated....taking crappy SF +16 at nearly 50% last week @ Chicago....despite that SF lost by 41 @ KC just a few weeks prior, and have no chance of covering from the opening whistle.

Now after pounding SF, they decide they're worth a play (83%) at -14 again and that Grossman is once again the next Joe Montana....after just not trusting him to be able to score on the horrible Niners.

I don't think the public can figure this team out....and the Bears will be a team who will burn them all year long.

I like Miami to keep this close by running the football, punting, and playing field position. I think the Miami defense can do enough to keep this game low scoring if they're not put in bad position by turnovers....and that's all I need with a 2 TD spread.

2.5 units each

Washington Redskins +3 (+110)

This is a desperate game for Washington here to save their season. 2-6 basically = elimination. Not acceptable for a team with high expectations whose not going thru a rebuilding period....and with 2 weeks to prepare, I'm going with the home team in this one, and banking that Romo is gonna not be the next Brady. I think he'll come down a little after looking pretty good last week. A little sophmore jinx perhaps, lol

Detroit +6 (-105)

I believe Atlanta's last 2 wins were a bit deceiving. Pittsburgh committed a ton of turnovers 2 weeks ago, leading directly to about 28 Atlanta points....and Cincinnati cannot stop the run....and they still barely won those games.

Detroit gets a ton of players back this week....which should help too.

Also an 81%+ system play is involved here, saying to play on any team as a +6 point or higher home underdog off the bye week.

2 units each

Washington Redskins ML +155
Detroit Lions ML +220

½ unit each

This might be it for me for the 1pm games, unless I stumble across something else I may have missed and decide that I really like.

Stif, An article on yahoo says Williams is talking shit about Hall. I hope they do to him, what they did to Chad last week. Hall pushed him out of bounds and another player knocked him on his ass as soon as he came back in bounds in the first few mins of the game. I hope they got the game on the tube this week, but I ain't that lucky. They will shut his ass up too.

Nice write-ups...

I like the Dolphins too.... They are ranked in the top 5 defensively, hopefully they can keep it close....

Miami was 6-0 ATS as a dog 6 > pts.... now 6-1 ATS when they lost to N.E. earlier this year by 10 (they were +9.5)

Anyway, Miami is 0-8 ATS this season, aren't they due for atleast a cover LOL.

Stifler's Mom
11-05-2006, 12:16 PM
That's the kind of thing I like....as a team gets worse and worse ATS, they get better and better line value. No one goes 16-0 or 0-16 ATS, LOL.

4pm games:

Cleveland Browns +13 (-105)

I keep hearing how Cleveland's defense sucks and they can't stop the run, etc. I dunno, while I agree that they're nothing special, they are still only giving up just a shade under 20 ppg this season.

They have played one of the toughest schedules in the league too, and have been pretty competitive in every game.

If i can get +13 points with a team that is only giving up about 20 ppg, I think I'll take it.

And, how will the SD defense respond to Merriman being out? He did alot for that defense, and it's been said many times that he is the best player on it.

Not my strongest play of the week here, but I like it enough to go with it.

Pittsburgh Steelers -3 (+100)

Now what in the hell sense does this line make? Why are the Steelers favored over Denver, even at home?

I see this much like their last home game against KC, and Washington's game today vs Dallas. A desperation game for the home team with high expectations and poor results to this point in the season.

The Steelers are not as bad a team as people are making them sound. Their defense only allowed 90 some TOTAL yards of offense last week....all be it to Oakland....and they have been moving the ball well on whoever they face, but getting burned by turning the ball over.

Turnovers may be the key here. If Pittsburgh avoids them, they should win this game and cover the number. If they continue to throw the ball to the wrong guys....well then they probably won't.

Ben is a better QB than he has been showing, and I think he's going to turn it around....and at home in a must win game is a good spot to look for that to happen. I have faith in Batch as well if he happens to see some playing time.

2.5 units each

I am still arguing with myself about possibly taking SF. I always like home dogs, but I cannot convince myself SF is going win outright today (or even has a good chance to). SF is not going to run on the Minny defense IMO....and I don't have alot of faith that they will move the ball thru the air like New England did Monday night.

Good luck!

Stif, I was going to respond to the Miami pick at about 3:00pm but I didn't want to jinx you. NICE, Should have tailed you on that one.

Nice hits at noon...tailed you on them all. Hope you have similar luck for the afternoon games.

Thanks guys :thumbs:

Looks like Pittsburgh just can't shake the turnover bug. You can't beat Denver with 2 turnovers already before the 1st qtr even ends.

I'm just hoping the Brownies can get me a split for the afternoon games at this point and I'd be happy with that.

Not likely, lol

What was that....turnover #4 already?

This is like the Bills vs Dallas in the super bowl that one year where they had like 7 or 8 turnovers and lost 52-17 :puke:

Yea but Denver is letting them stay in this game

Stifler's Mom
11-05-2006, 06:23 PM
I know. It's amazing that Pittsburgh is now within 4 points with all the mistakes they're making.

If Pittsburgh could even manage a push here that would be more than awesome :thumbs:

Looks like Jake the Fake wants to play the turnover game now?

Unless they overturn that

Wow, whoever is announcing the Browns/SD game obviously has a wager on SD today.

He just about shot a load in his underwear when Tomlinson just broke loose and scored :puke:

Stif, any thoughts on the late one? I lean to the Pats, as they are the home team with a better run game, but at the same time Indy could potentially throw all over the Pats...

Well this Cleveland loss will be the most rediculous one I've taken all season....that's for fucking sure

Braylon Edwards :yeah: :yeah: :yeah:

LOL, it only took em 7 tries (6 prior FG's)....it's about time.

Really didn't expect this drive to be any different. Drive down into the SD red zone, and kick a FG, except obviously this time they wouldn't have kicked a FG being down 14....so I thought I was screwed.

Cleveland deserves to cover this line anyway. They better not screw it up now.

Thanks. Not my most confident play of the day....because I don't trust the Colts defense....but, like Cleveland, I like it enough to play it.

Yeah....thank god for Cleveland, them and Denver were my only wins of the day.

Go Colts.
I think the Pats defence is suspect to....I'll ride Peyton.

Yep. Ya know, I think this line is made on public perception alone.

NE has looked like a world beater lately, while the Colts have been squeaking by.

After evaluating NE's schedule though, I come up with a different conclusion. One that says NE hasn't played anyone....and that could be a big reason they are compiling wins, and such big stats in those wins.

Their 6 wins:

Buffalo 2X
Jets
Miami
Cincinnati (how does this look now after them losing 4 of the last 5?)
Minnesota (how does this one look after they lost to SF today?)

Now I realize Indy has struggled against some mediocre teams, but they have beaten some good ones too (Jacksonville, Denver, NY Giants).

In no way am I saying I think the Colts will blow NE out....and the Colts run defense does concern me, but I still think they're the better team, and better play at +3.
