Early NFL Looks

[Eagles2005SB]

Philadelphia(-1) at Pittsburgh:

No team has ever beaten two teams with undefeated records as good as the Pats and the eagles have been, they are 0-4... The Eagles bring a potent recieving attack, great blitz scheme, great o-line, great qback, and Brian Westbrook is most likely playing this week... Look for Big Ben to have his first bad game of the season and eagles roll 24-14...

Kansas City(-3) at Tampa Bay

KC is rolling like they were last year... They are starting to resemble the team that started 9-0 and went 13-3 ... Priest is going to run them into the ground .... 34-20 Chiefs

New England(-2.5) at St.Louis

This team is too good to lose two games in a row. Period.

Baltimore(-6) vs Cleveland

Celveland is about to start the downward spiral... THey are not a good road team and Jamal Lewis is back and he is going to come out and run all over the place... Add the fact that there is going to be an angry Ray Lewis after last week's loss... The ravens D will put on a show

Like the picks a lot. Really like the KC, Balt and Philly picks. A bit hesitant on the NE-STL tilt and think I'll stay away. NE is banged up in the secondary and you never know what happens after the bubble bursts. I would probably think they'd cover under 3 for sure but too close to call, I'm hiding on that one.

BOL!!! I like the Eagles pick this weekend! Hammer 'em@!@@

[FearTheRaven]

I like the Eagles pick as well. I think I'm gonna wait til the line goes down to a pk, cause I believe the public will be all over the Steelers.

Interesting fact about these teams

Philly covered they're first 4 games against the spread and have not covered the last 2.

Pitt did not cover they're first 2 games against the spread but have covered the last 4.

Interesting how the ATS streaks are reversed, just a weird factoid.

[7&7]

line already dropped from steelers +1.5 to +1, should drop more since everyone is convinced the steelers are the team to beat b/c they beat the pat's. Hold off on the bets and you will reap the benefits.

EAGLES2005SB.
Great name!! You just jinxed your own team.

On the Pitt game. Take off the blinders.
Big Ben plays for Blitzburgh, he's faced the best defenses in the league and seen plenty of complicated blitz's from his own team. What makes you think he'll have a let down??
Unless Philly get's a big lead there won't be much throwing anyway.
Eagles D has trouble stopping the run. Duce right, Duce left, Duce up the middle. The Bus at the goal line. Can you say clock management?

The Eagles have more threats than NE? Smoke another.
The Eagles have 2 threats. TO and McNabb running.
Westbrook is a back-up RB on just about any other team, not that it matters. The Steelers D is great at stuffing the run even againts the best back's.

I would not count on either team having a let down, these guys are professionals.

Eagles key to a win: TO needs 100 yards receiving, McNabb needs 100 yrds rushing. Establish an early lead, get the crowd out of the game. Force Pitt to have to throw and get turnovers.

Pitt key to a win: Run the ball, control the clock, keep #5 and #81 on the sideline. Keep the crowd in the game.

Should be a great game to watch. To bet? I'd lay off this one.
I see no convincing information to go either way.

GL on your picks bro...im all over philly as well and still capping some others...should be some decent games out there this weekend

[dead garcia]

no reason to lay hard earned cash on this game....too many intangibles....wonder why on Earth we should look for Ben to have his first bad game??? maybe we should break out our crystal ball....lmffao....

[JohnnyMapleLeaf]

I'm with ya on KC & NE.
I have to go with Cleveland. I can't see the Rven's O covering a td!

[7&7]

it'll be a close one in balt... since lewis is back it IS going to open up the passing game somewhat now for balt., whether it's enough to cover a 6 pt spread that's hard to say.

[Peterdragan66]

Wonder if he was all over the pats, last week? You can't bet with your heart buddy....good luck anyway...I'll take the home dog 2 weeks in a row. Pitt 4-0 at home.

[Eagles2005SB]

hey the eagles are cursed anyway ... I havebeen at 2 straight NFC championship losses so I doubt my name makes a difference, we are like the red sox were with footall....haha... :bang: But i just think no one understands the strengths of this football team there are many of weapons, mcnabb exploits defenses with the best of them.... I just like the d forcing BEn to make mistakes, you have to remember no quarterback is perfect ... GO Birds

gl all

Eagles, I'm going with you on the Philly, Chiefs and Ravens this week. Should be a great week! These teams all have something to prove.
