[doctoro]

What is up is down and what was down is up!

 

I was way Down now I am barely up. But finally, a good week at 3-0, overall 5-4. I also won the week without the spreads in my big money pool with 40 people. Thank you Burgundy and Gold and the Chicago Bears the most differing picks were from those two games.

 

Stock Up! The Washington Redskins, The Cleveland Browns, The Chicago Bears, The Detroit Lions, The Seattle Seahawks, The Tennessee Titans, The Miami Dolphins, and wait for it, wait for it, wait for it....drum roll, please! The -17point road dogs...Bills, Bills, Bills. What was way down in previous seasons, and other than Chicago and Miami this season, is now up!

 

Stock Down Green Bay Packers, Jacksonville Jags, The streak ending New York Jets, The Fitztragically hip Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the impotent New England Patriots offense, the even more impotent Cowgirls offense...Dak Prescott has no targets and he is not Romo, and what happened in Minnesota did not stay in Minnesota that black cloud travels to the sunny state of SOCAL as they take on the best team in the NFL the La Rams...stock has been up since McVay came to town. Kirk Cousins what happened??? Outplayed by a rookie on the road??? Shame! Shame! Shame!

[tocino]

depending on the lines, for week 4 I think I'm leaning toward Rams taking out the Vikings, Chargers over SF, and either the Raiders finally getting into the "win"column or i might pick the under for that game

Soooo good

I love tres leche. I love Key West, and I love the citizenry will tell the tourists, "This is where the weird go pro." Flats fishing, tarpon fishing, alcohol flowing 24 hours, and sunshine... my word is it beautiful. Naked Halloween party? Key West has it. This has nothing to do with football, but if you have never been to Key West, even if you don't want to be naked on Halloween, it is worth a look. This craziness has to rub off on the mighty Dolphins. While the NE Patriots practice the Calvinist ideals of industriousness, the Dolphins are in a Dionysian cesspool, and I think the Patriots get out of their slump and beat the spread against the Dolphins. And seriously, you will never see anything like Key West unless you go to Key West.

I recently was at the Franklin Institute in Philadelphia, and it was as cool as I remember it as a kid, another plug for a far flung place. I also, harking back to my days as a kid, jumped a fence in front of Independence Hall only to have security converge on me like i was a felon. Thank god i had ridiculous golf pants on, or I probably would have been tazed in front of my family. As it is, I like Philly though I struggle with our new friend "Gritty" who will be the Flyers mascot. Again, this has nothing to do with football, but Carson Wentz is back, and I think he has a week under his belt and I expect him to be much better this week. We don't hear much about the Titans, which leads me to believe there is not much there, so I will take the Eagles and the over in this match up.

Lastly, let's cross the state. Roethlisberger is in the news again, this time for chatting up (and ultimately scaring) now famous, Stormy Daniels. AB put on his big boy pants against the Bucs Monday night, and LeVeon continues to ride jetskis in Miami and refuses to put on big boys pants. Perhaps he is eyeing a sponsors deal for Pull Ups? I see Sleepy Eye Joe tuning up a porous (at best) defensive backfield and Keith Butler continuing his quest to be the most consistently out-coached DC in the NFL, but I also see a Steeler victory. The Ravens have covered the spread consistently over the years, and the Steelers have not covered the spread consistently against the Ravens. My head says to take the over and just sit back and watch these teams go up and down the field with impunity, but my heart says to take the Steelers and the cover. In a nod to Big Ben, the heart wants what the heart wants, and while I won't be scaring any porn stars with the pick, I am taking the Steelers to cover.

 

Have a great week folks, and definitely get out and see the country...

This sucks... but I guess it's supposed to.

 

The Bills have been eating up NFC North teams so far, and if there is a team that could run the ball fewer times than the Vikings (4 handoffs), it would be the Packers. I'll pass.

 

The undefeated Miami Dolphins, who only needed 32 plays from scrimmage to score 28 points, are getting 7 points from the 1-2 team that lost to the Lions. Oh yeah, it's the Patriots on a 2 game losing streak. Pass.

 

The Baltimore Ravens... pass.

 

The San Diego Chargers are giving 10 points to the Jimmy Garappolo-less 49ers. SF giving up 30 pts/game, and I don't see them scoring 20.

Super Chargers -10.

 

New Orleans Saints vs NY Giants. I kinda like the under (50 pts), since the Giants are only giving up 20.7 pts/gm and scoring even fewer. But, the Saints score a lot and have a balanced offense. I'll give the points.

Saints -3.5

 

Seattle did enough to beat a struggling Dallas team by 9 pts. The only team that scores less than the Cowboys is the Cardinals. I don't think you can go wrong giving the points or taking the under (39 pts). But, I'll probably found out differently, lol.

Seahawks -3

I wanna jump on Minny/LA so bad tonight after last weeks performance. No players like playing these Thursday night games. Sloppy football and the under look very intriguing.

Miami always plays the Pats tough. But not sure the last time they played them in Foxboro while being 3-0 and the Pats 1-2. Staying away from this one.

Seattle a small favorite playing a rookie QB getting his first start. Both teams struggle to score but you'd think a Super Bowl winning QB can beat a rookie QB by 3 Points.

 

Cleveland +2: Cleveland 3-0 ATS this season....... So why not. Raiders suck, Browns keep it close. Hell, may even win or tie again. Brownies cover either way.

Saints -3.5: Eli wont be able to keep up with NO high power offense. Kamara and MT will be too much to handle. Saints win/cover.

SF/LA Under: Look for SF to run and try and take the air out of the ball. Chargers win 30-13 and the under prevails.

Well, we have a southern team playing in a cool climate after wearing down those Raiders in the 90+ degree heat smartly wearing those black jerseys.

 

They will not be so fortunate in Foxboro, with a caveat. New England has very little offensive weapons, Gronk is being double teamed and bracketed, Edelman still out, Gordon looks iffy to doubtful, Burkhead out for the year.

 

The Patriots should have some guys back on defense. Give me the Pats on the money line, but we can not bet the money line here. So I like the +7 but I can not in good faith take the Dolphins on the road against a Belichick team that has lost 2 in a row. You have to believe he will focus on special teams, defense and ball control. That said Tannehill is 13-1 in his last combined starts. That is better than Tom Brady. I will take a pass on this game but still think the Patriots find a way to win it.

 

 

 

We have those wild and crazy Cajun Crawfish of the delta traveling to the Big Apple looking to take down Eli and Odell as we watch two of some the most talented young running backs in the league, Kamara, and Barkley, This is another game where the home team is traditionally the team you give home field advantage a lot of credence. Not this time. I think the Saints will prevail in a close fought game, but not willing to lay the -3.5 Pass

I will take the Over 50 in this game a little risky if the Giants defense plays better at home. But give me the over 50.

 

I have been hearing if the Chiefs come in and blow out the Broncos on primetime TV the Defensive coordinator might be fired. Broncos will lean heavily on the run and try to keep Mahomes on the pine drinking Gatorade. That is not going to be enough to stop that train. "All my rowdy friends" hate the ESPN coverage of MNF but this game should be fun to watch. I will take the Chiefs -5

 

I think the Bears will bring the heat on Fitztragic and it could be a long day for them on the road. That said the Trubisky train has yet to leave the station. I think the train starts to chug a little more this week against the suspect Tampa defense. And Tampa should score just enough to push this line over 46.5 Taking the Over 46.5 Bear vs Bucs

 

I think the Bucs can win this one on the road if Trubisky does not lead them to at least 21 points. I think he does, but Tampa "is scoring is scoring does"... already!

 

Good Luck All

[Qqq123xx]

N.E. -7 yeah can't believe the line is this big but I got to go with my boys.

 

N.O. at Giants over 50. Manning won't play like last week but should be enough to do me right.

 

Philly -4 Picked Philly once before and they didn't do me right so am sure that is on their mind.

It is indeed a pressing concern said Doug P.!

[F171615]

IND -1

ARI +3

NO -3.5

[knock it close]

Oak -2

Den +5

NE -7 (faded and beat them the last two weeks but you don't get rich betting against Tom and Bill 60% cover rate since 2012)

[touch]

Trying hard to rebound from the last two weeks terrible 1-5 record.

 

 

Ravens +3 Very good defense in Baltimore. what else is new?

This season the Ravens have a sneeky good offense. I will take the 3

 

Raiders -2 This is a decent 0-3 team, really Carr has a 75% completion rating. But greater than that

is the stat that going back to 2003, all overall first pick qb's in their official first start?????

are 0-10. I will lay the skinny 2.

 

NY Giants + 3 1/2 I'll bite on the home dog. This is another tough road trip for the Saints. They spent a lot in the ATL.

G men might get this one outright.

 

 

 

this weeks lady happy squad member is from my Redskins

Falcons cover.

 

Raiders -2. I dont think the browns win twice in a row. They are still the browns

[CommerceTiger]
