Yesterday: 3-4 (-0.77 units)
YTD: 30-19 (+11.51 units)
The writeups will be short today, but unlike most days, I have all my plays right away. No adds!
Miami +4 (-108)
Miami/Tampa Bay O33.5 (-106)
Reports are that Miami has a gameplan for this game, where as Tampa Bay will not as John Gruden says that he wants to get some new WRs familiar with the system before introducing a gameplan. Right away I believe this will help Miami as you'll see more of a regular season look from them here, most likely bringin more defensive pressure than Tampa Bay can handle (as they didn't game plan for it). Also, both teams had bad games last weekend, and with Tampa Bay having more rest than they did last week and Miami game planning here I believe that at this number there is a good chance these teams combine to go OVER.
Baltimore -3.5 (+100)
Save a few big plays against Philadelphia last week and the Baltimore defense was dominant. They'll play even more here tonight against a Detroit team that has a history of bad play on the road. Baltimore's defense wants to make a statement after last week, and at home I believe we'll see fewer INTs from Boeller/Stewart & Co. and this will lead to atleast a 7 point win for Baltimore.
Carolina -3 (+108)
New England/Carolina O37 (-105)
Some of Carolina's players are hyped up about this game, and they'll be playing a good portion of the game. New England will again go with a more vanilla scheme as they work to evaluate their talent to prepare for cuts. New England does want to come out and put points on the board, which they were unable to do, for the most part, last week. I see this as a high scoring affair with Carolina coming out on top. Also, Weinke's the man. :cool: He wins the #2 job tonight.
Indianapolis -4 (-110)
Plain and simple: Indianapolis wants both starting units to play sharp, and you'll see them play into the 3rd quarter. Also, Buffalo will be without Henry. Yes, McGahee is a good rusher, but I believe Buffalo will be hurt without having Henry to provide more depth.
Kansas City -5 (-109)
This is the final tuneup for both teams here, and KC wants to come out and dominate with their defense again. My only concern with this play is a few of KC's starters are out, but with homefield I like them in this spot.
Oakland -4 (-107)
Oakland/Arizona O39 (-108)
Norv Turner is putting special emphasis on winning this game, and I have read no reports that have Green doing the same. This will be another scorcher and as the longer some of these guys play I expect them to drain down and allow for more big plays up the field and more points on the board.
GL!! :bbang:
