Normally I would like to take a home dog after they were just blown out. Miami however is in desperation mode with the season on the line. The Miami pass rush will be ferocious. Expect more turnovers from the Hapless Jets. Miami scores early and often.

A lot of people are talking about
TCU's D being the best K state will face, but what about Kstate's D? They have been really good at forcing turnovers and getting stops against some really good offensive teams. Let's take a look at the common opponents. K state thrashed West Virginia 55-14, TCU barely beat them 39-38. They beat Kansas 56-16 and TCU won 20-6, TCU lost to TT giving up 56 points and Kansas State beat TT 55-24 and it wasn't even that close. TCU was dominated by Oklahoma state 36-14 and Kansas beat them by 2 TD's with their back up QB most of the game. Add in the fact that KState needs to win to keep national championship hopes alive, I don't see any kind of let down here. Iets hope theres all kinds of action on TCU's side so the line stays at 7 or less but I could see this line go to 8 or 9 by kick off.

I watched the Giants build a 23 point lead (btw should have been more if they would have got TD's instead of FG's) and then almost lose the game. That actually bodes well this week because Tom C. is pissed. That game was at Dallas. Now they're at Home riding the emotion of Sandy. I don't like Pitt's ability to defend the deep ball and Cruz is tearing it up right now. Eli will take advantage of this mismatch.

Bottom line is that Prime's picks seem to win more than they lose. As long as he's making a profit, it really doesn't matter how much he's wagering. Use this thread for information and formulate your own strategy and betting structure.
I agree with his Cincy and Minnesota picks this week. Haven't heard too much here about the Miami game, but I like the Fish here laying 4.5 at home. St Louis is coming off two straight upset ATS winners and now has to go on the road. Two of Miami's SU losses are in OT so their record is a bit misleading. Add in the fact that Amendola is out for St. Louis. I'd like to see this thread be more about picking winners than all the shit talk back and forth. Cheers.

Eli vs. Matty Ice....Eli
Cruz vs. Roddy white ....Roddy slight edge but Cruz is hot Nicks vs Julio Jones.....even Bradshaw and Jacobs vs. Turner and company.....giants backs slightly at home Ballard vs. Gonzalez....Gonzalez Offensive edge: Giants The Giants defensive line is the best in football.....Atlanta can get some pressure on the QB with Abraham, but Eli has been making great decisions in the pocket and even when he's pressured he gets rid of the football quickly to his checkdown backs. The Giants secondary is pretty bad, but with the way Pierre Paul, Tuck and Canty get to the QB, Ryan won't be able to get the rock to his talented receivers in time, especially on the road with the crowd noise....He will try to force the ball resulting in multiple turnovers Huge defensive edge: Giants Prediction: 31-13 NYG While I'll agree that the Giants secondary |

QB: Brady over Sanchez
WR's: Branch over Edwards(Edwards has more physical talent but who do you trust in a big game to catch a 3rd down pass) and Welker/Holmes even RB's: LT/Greene over Ellis/Woodhead TE's: even, although I like NE's blocking TE's better (Crumpler) so I'll give the edge to the pats. Defensive Line: Jet's Linebackers: Even Secondary: Jet's Special teams: Pats Coach: Pats Home field: Pats So we have the Pats grabbing a 6-3-1 advantage of the above categories....add in the fact the offensive line is playing MUCH better with Mankins back, and the Brady throws to everyone now that Moss is gone...very unpredictable and hard to game plan against. Revenge factor is huge in this game...add in the fact that the crowd won't let Sanchez hear the snap count...I forsee a couple of interceptions for the pats (Mcordy for a TD). I hope Mr. 15K looked at all factors before unloading his entire bankroll on the wrong side.. |

2 Seattle picks?.....boy you guys are in trouble if you blew your load with any of the big favorites on the board this week. Arizona made it to the SUPER BOWL last year and Seattle is coming of a 41-0 blowout last week...I'm loading up on Arizona +3 for the sole fact that you guys took the Seahawks in just week 6. Green Bay is my pick this week and I've already looked ahead to the rest of the seasons slate....You must do that before making a single pick or you're just wasting your entry fee.

Glad to see that the bookies have over valued a slumping, light hitting BoSox team. Ortiz is obviously still hurt and can't hit Sonnastine in his career. Hard for me to admit, being a Boston fan. Time for me to bet Tampa to get back some of the dough I'll be losing on the series. Tampa +130 is the play. If Boston wins, at least my series bet looks a little better.

Instead of just saying "Sox or Rays are going to kick ass", lets handicap the series game by game and see what shakes out:
Game 1: Dice K over Shields...Better record, better ERA, and was undefeated in the post season last year. Game 2: Garza over Beckett in a mild upset...Beckett is not the guy we saw last year and Tampa has hit him decent this year...both pitchers have similar stats but Tampa needs this game after losing game one at home. Game 3: Lester has been lights out and gets 2 extra days rest on top of that. A full earned run better per 9 than Sonnastine. Boston wins this one, 5-1. Game 4: Wake v. Kazmir....Kazmir with the slight edge although the Sox' bats might surprise here. I'll give this one to Tampa in a shootout. Game 5: Dice K wins this match up again and this time pretty easily. I don't think Shields gets out of the 5th inning. Game 6/7: Beckett most likely rights the ship and the Sox take the Series, however if it doesn't work out, you gotta love Lester in a game 7, regardless of the so called "hostile environment" of the Trop. He dominated the Angel's line up in California and will do the same to the Rays in Tampa. Bay v. Crawford: Bay's a better hitter Ellsbury v. Upton: Ellsbury has better stats and is a GREAT fielder Drew v. Hinske: Drew is much more talented, but health a question Youk v. Longoria: Longoria will be the best player in the AL some day but Youk is better today. Lowrie v. Bartlett: tie Pedroia v. Iwamura: Pedroia for obvious reasons Kotsay v. Pena: Pena Varitek v. Navarro: Navarro for his hitting but Varitek handles pitchers in the post season better than anyone. The skinny: Boston has the advantage 6 to 2 and one toss up Bullpen: Closer: Papelbon period, middle relief is a tie Manager: Madden is good, Francona is the best in the decade. Even though I'm a sox fan, I went through every possible scenario and backed it up with FACTS. Tampa will win 2 games in ALCS, a huge improvement over last year's last place finish. They'll be contenders for years to come, provided they can get their upcoming stars locked up. |
