I understand that WHIP, but the betting of games that have a spread of less than a field goal are still tumultuous, at best. Out of curiosity ... what was the breakdown on those four games? Did the home team win or the dog?

colts 14-12 jaguars ...jaguars beat the spread
patriots 25-24 bills.... bills beat the spread
redskins 9-7 rams... rams beat the spread
cowboys 31-33 giants... giants beat the spread

all 4 were underdogs and away, and yet all home teams won except the cowboys who lost to a superior team thats for lj

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

carolina panthers[-3.5] vs washington redskins

these teams are leagues apart, the spread should be the other way around and bigger.
this is going to be my base this week.

bet on the washington redskins

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

san fransisco 49ers[-2.5] vs atlanta falcons

i think the 49ers and the falcons will both win their division, so this match-up might be a preview of a play-off game.
the falcons attack is superior, and should win this game.

bet on the atlanta falcons

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

miami dolphins vs new york jets[-1.5]


the dolphins can win this division for a second year in a row.
the jets are good, but i'd have to give sanchez at least another year before they can be a serious contender.
its silly that the dolphins aren't like -4.5 point favorites.

bet on the miami dolphins

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

buffalo bills[-6.5] vs clevland browns

here's a good chance for the browns to get a win.
the bills are under par as a team.
their lines are weak, and they continue to have some injuries.
i don't think we'll need the 6.5 points in this one.

bet on the clevland browns

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

seattle seahawks[-1.5] vs jacksonville jaguars

this is the most lop-sided game this week.
seattle needs to draft this year and the next to be able to compete against a team like the jaguars.

bet on the jacksonville jaguars

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

ok, so we're coming off our best week of the season.
our base went through, with an overall 4 out of 5 = great profit.

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

minnesota vikings[-3.0] vs baltimore ravens

the minnesota vikings are really not as good as some percieve.
the vikings attack faces its biggest challenge yet.
on the other side of the ball, the ravens should be able to score against minnesota.
the ravens should win this game.

bet on the baltimore ravens

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

new orlean saints[-3.0] vs new york giants

no suprise in the saints success this season... their attack is of the absolute elite, and their defence has picked up a bit from its under par season last year.
but don't even begin to compare the saints to the giants, they are leagues apart.
eli manning is truly out of this world.
the giants running game is unbelievable, while the defence remains well above par.
the new york giants are truly the elite in the nfl.
its kinda funny that the saints are favorite here.
the only way one could consider the saints favorites here is if the giants decide to throw the game to rest.

bet on the new york giants

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

tampa bay bucs vs carolina panthers[-3.5]

i was watching the nfl network, and i couldn't believe that they named the bucs the absolute worst team in the nfl.
what tf have they been watching.
the bucs are actually a pretty good team, and under no circumstance can they compare with the lesser teams in the nfl.
this is a pretty good match-up here, but you'd have to like the bucs to win here at home against a seriously under par panthers team.

bet on the tampa bay bucs

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

washington redskins[-6.5] vs kansas city chiefs

the chiefs should've beat the under par cowboys last week.
the redskins are a much better team than the cowboys and should have no problem beating the chiefs, who's future see's them at the pit of this game for several years.

bet on the washington redskins

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

new england patriots[-9.5] vs tennessee titans

a part of me wants the titans to lose this game, but they face a weak patriots team that should not be able to stop their attack.
tennessee should be able to win their first game of the season against this well under par patriots team.
9.5 points is crazy here.

bet on the tennessee titans

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

san diego chargers[-3.5] vs denver broncos

this is actually a very lop-sided game.
the broncos, apart from beating a good bengals team 12-7 in week 1, have not faced a good team this season [browns,raiders,cowboys, patriots].
the chargers are by far, a superior team, who will run all over this broncos team.
how perceptions change as the weeks go by.
this is easily the base of this week.

bet on the san diego chargers

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
i'm gonna add a 7th game to this weeks picks......

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

atlanta falcons[-3.5] vs chicago bears

both teams are elite, but looking closer at the one on one match-ups, i'll have to give the edge to the falcons as their attack really can't be stopped by any team.
this might be the first team to win the superbowl with an under par defence in ages.

bet on the atlanta falcons

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

I'm hopeful for the wings, but now I don't care quite so much because i've adopted an OHL team. happy to see you rate them as contenders
