Baltimore @ Cleveland -2.5
The Browns are finally healthy and you are not going to see the ravens do what they did to them earlier this year. Flacco and this offence isnt anything special and Clevelands d is a very good one. baltimore doesnt score more than 10 and the Browns win this one in Cleveland, as they will win this division this year, 24-10.
One of the best bets of the week. Take the Browns

Arizona -3.5 @ St. Louis
With Kurt Warner leading this team i can see the Cards go real far in the playoffs or even to the Super Bowl. If this defence can stay healthy they are a well rounded team. i cant see the Rams doing anything in this with S. Jackson hurt even if he does play. The Rams also have a few starters banged up on their d. The Rams fans will se a great show on turf but not by their team.
Best bet of the week. Take the Cards

Miami @ Denver -4.5
I know the Bronco d has been playing poorly but on paper they're pretty good. Like the Colts D they cant play well when behind and this week they wont be. With Young, Scheffler and Stokley returning Jays gonna look like he did earlier this season. At Mile High, off the bye week with coach Shanahan Denver wins big. 41-24.
Take Denver

Dallas @ NYG -8.5
The Cowboys are banged up but they have alot of depth and in an important divisional match-up like this one this game is gonna be close. Brad has had a couple of weeks to get into a groove and he will put outagood outing in this one. Elis gonna see the most pressure hes seen all year. Dallas will send the blitz for their secondary is banged up. This game will be decided by a fg.
Take the Cowboys

NE @ Indy -5.5
Peyton knows this defence very well and with them aging and being less talented and not having Rodney, Peyton will have a Peyton kinda day. Also the fact that Sanders and Addai should be back for this one the Colts are going to go through teams from here on out. You didnt think the Colts with Peyton Manning still playing werent going to make the playoffs, did you? With the Pats backfield banged up their not gonna run well, (add to the fact that manning will have the colts up early) they will have to rely on Cassel to throw the ball and that front four of the Colts will be putting pressure on all day.
Take the Colts

Pit -1.5 @ Was
This will be a close game as both teams will struggle to put up points. But with the Steelers most likely to make more mistakes will cost them the game. i cant see them running the ball. Ben might make a few plays but nothing big. they might contain Portis to maybe 80-90 yards on 25-30 carries but with Jason managing the game better than anyone this year and making plays when they ask him to Washington wins this one 19-13.
Easy pick. Take the Skins

Other games to take into consideration.

NYJ @ Buf -5.5
this will be a high scoring affair where i believe the Bills prevail. The bills d will slow Favre more times than the Jets will Edwards. Bills win 44-34.
Take the Bills

Atlanta -3.5 @ Oakland
The both teams will find success running the ball. it comes down to which young qb will play better than the other one. I think J. Russell will win the battle at home as the Raiders grab their 3rd win of the year.
Take the Raiders

[W.HI.P]

-------------------------------------------------------------------

detroit red wings 4.50
the team does have some problems in the front and in the back.
changes that were made don't look like a good idea, so there will be transitions within that will hold detroit back from running away with their division.
i highly doubt that detroit can repeat.

bad bet

-------------------------------------------------------------------

san jose sharks 6.00

in my eyes, this team is the top contender for the stanley cup.
this team will at least be competing in the western conference final.

good bet.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

montreal canadiens 8.00

this team will not be going away any time soon.
as a franchise it is being run perfectly.
the speed and depth of this team makes them a contender in the eastern conference.
the only team in their division that looks competitive or remotely capable is the boston bruins.

good bet

-------------------------------------------------------------------

pittsburgh penguins 10.00


gonchar imo, along with whitney, we're the main reason why the penguins found success last year.
they are both out for plenty of months.
ty is gone as well, leaving the penguins weak.

bad bet

-------------------------------------------------------------------

ny rangers 11.00

my friend called the rangers last year, and i couldn't quite see how it could happen.
they kinda look good this year, but still, i can't see this defence holding up despite the swede in net.

bad bet

-------------------------------------------------------------------

anaheim ducks 13.00

pronger is the best defencive school in the game.
the team remains elite, tough conference though.

good bet

-------------------------------------------------------------------

washington capitols 17.00

this team is full of stars
semin and green accompany the greatest forward in the game.
solid goaltending make this team a top contender in the eastern conference.

good bet

-------------------------------------------------------------------

minnesota wild 17.00

no no no, this team is not ready to compete.
too weak in too many places.
gaborik is the best winger in the game, but the team cannot compete with the other elite teams competing in the western conference.

bad bet

-------------------------------------------------------------------

calgary flames 17.00

very impressive names in the line-up, but don't let that fool you.
the rest of the lines remain weak.

bad bet

-------------------------------------------------------------------

buffalo sabres 17.00

how could anyone contemplate that this team can compete for anything this year. the play-offs are far fetched.

bad bet

-------------------------------------------------------------------

there are 4 more good bets and high prices and tell you why after the weekend when i'll have more free time to continue this.

Cheifs plus 7 at home vs the Bucs bucs 30, chiefs 27 win

Cardinals giving 3 visiting the Rams 34-14 cards win

Lions getting 13 at the Bears 27-23 barrrs win

Packers getting 7 at the Titans 19-16 titans win

Broncos giving 3 at home vs the Dolphins 26-17 miami loss

Raiders plus 3 hosting the Falcons ooof....24-zip hotlanta loss

the first 4 games were all 1 pm games. it was looking good.....and then ....the 4pm games were very discourteous to me. i missed them by a lot!

cock.

clevland browns[-3.0] vs denver broncos

you'd have to be crazy not to bet on this game.
the clevland browns are finally starting brady quinn today.
he's up against one very weak broncos defence which will be missing their greatest asset, mr. champ bailey.
if that isn't enough, the broncos attack will be one dimensional as their top 2 running backs will both be on the sideline.
this'll be a double digit win for the browns who have no other possible motives in sight given the fact that they've traded away their top picks for this upcoming draft.

bet on the clevland browns

chicago bears vs tenessee titans[-3.5]

you need to take a reality check on the titans defence.
its really not that good.
as this years goes on, the numbers will start looking more realistic.
the bears defence on the other hand remains number 1 in the league.
the bears offence isn't as bad as it has been in the past.
the bears, based on the fact that are few teams in the nfc that are play-off material, have a chance to go pretty far this year.
easy win for chicago.

bet on the chicago bears

---------------------------------------------------------

new england patriots[-4.5] vs buffalo bills

there is no comparing these teams.
buffalo will get the easy win to take control of this division.

bet on the buffalo bills

---------------------------------------------------------

pittsburgh steelers[-3.5] vs indianapolis colts

the colts are still in there despite looking kinda weak this season.
i can't see how this steelers team can be a threat here.

bet on the indianapolis colts

---------------------------------------------------------

philadelphia eagles[-1.5] vs new york giants

this should be a very close game, as both defence's should dominate.
low scoring game... the eagles at home have the edge with their missing pieces healthy again.
can you believe it....its november and donovan is still playing

bet on the philadelphia eagles

---------------------------------------------------------

arizona cardinals[10.5] vs san fransisco 49ers

ok, i've bet on both these teams winning their division at high prices....but now the media's being retarded as calling these cardinals superbowl bound [a week before their monday night game]
...take a friggin reality check, the team is weak.
the only reason they have a chance at making the playoffs is cause of the weak division.
don't buy this hype, not much seperates these teams ....next year, the 49ers will have surpassed this arizona team.

bet on the san fransisco 49ers

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Jacksonville Jaguars vs Tennessee Titans(-4.5)

Miami Dolphins(-1.5) vs New England Patriots

tennessee has a mediocre defence and a mediocre offence.
the titans are a mediocre team.

Dallas Cowboys(-13.5) vs Seattle Seahawks

i was the first to knock the seahawks when they showed up as the favorites to win the division.

however here, the cowboys defence is under par, and seattle isn't quite as bad as they seem.
this will be a close game

Bet on the Seattle Seahawks

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Philadelphia Eagles(-3.0) vs Arizona Cardinals

the cardinals will play one dimensional offence tommorow.

dude. you are such a hater. If you want people to respect your opinion, you should at leastresearch your claims.

the cowboys' defenCe is ranked 8th of 32 teams. sub par would be 17th or worse.

and I'd like to see where you ever glorified Romo.

all that said, I agree. 13.5 is too much. my prediction is dallas 27, seattle 17

[W.HI.P]

lj lj lj, stats are a very small factor in looking at a defence.
if it was at the end of the season and all teams faced all teams once or twice, then, you could almost determine the rankings off the stats.
but thats not the case in the nfl.

in regards to you calling me a cowboys hater ....you're wrong, i've called the cowboys wins as much as their losses.

when i glorified romo was before he played his first game for the cowboys.
you don't need to look to far, its all in this thread.

you need to start facing reality lj ...your team sucks

[W.HI.P]

lj, why don't you do a little research before making silly posts.
if you were to wager a dollar on each of my reco's regarding the cowboys since the start of this thread, you would be in the profit zone.
maybe you could do a little more research and see that the cowboys have lost more games against the spread this year than won...meaing that its wiser to bet against the cowboys this season than to bet on them.
this is a betting thread ...no hate here, just reality.

[lumberjim]

i was merely refuting your statement that the defence was sub par. bet on theeeeese
