I kind of like the cards this week. I already took them so I haven't really looked at that game. But I like still like the 'skins better.

I like the 'skins out of those four. I like taking teams that have something to play for at this point of the season. I would keep an eye on how much NYG starters are supposed to play this week.
I wouldn't touch the vikes this week. Chi has been playing well and Min has been playing terrrrrible. Go pack! I was hoping that TB would win last week so I could take them this week but they are on a little slump and may come out flat after last week since they need a miracle to make the playoffs. I am torn between the 'skins and chiefs this week. hmmmm Good luck!

I saw that Manning was supposed to start so they aren't necessarily resting everyone. I think NYG would love to knock their division rival out of the playoffs. I do believe that is probably my strongest play this week but I am going to have to use the rest of the week to ponder it. This week is the longest I have had to consider my pick but I guess this one is pretty important. Thanks

I agree with the above.
Not to hijack your thread but I can still take Ind, KC, TB, Was, Buf, Den. I was leaning KC but I honestly don't know how SD responds to their loss last week. Wash seems like a good pick. I have to read up to see if NYG are resting starters. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

I am thinking of taking the Titans in my survivor league this week. I am impressed by their D this year. D.ick LeBeau is a genius. I am hesitant for one reason. Looking at the Browns schedule this might be their best shot to win a game this year besides maybe vs. the NYJ or SD week 16 since the chargers will most likely not be in the playoffs. I don't like taking the premier teams early which is why I am thinking Tenn. I have taken the 'Phins & Jets on their only wins, Hou, Bal, and Oakland so I have plenty of good teams left to take. I am nervous about Pit b/c they might be looking ahead to next week and Buf because Kaep getting his first start throws an unknown variable in there.
I know this isn't about betting per se but it is about picking teams to win with a potential of winning big. Any advice is appreciated. Talk me out of it, say it's a solid play, tell me something. Thanks.

Never put all your eggs into one basket. And avoid parlays. Good luck. typo...

He's a blazing 10-10 on the year.
I really like Oakland this week. |

"Wow! Experts are on Oregon??? This is not the same Oregon many years ago and this is the best Washington yet. Dogs have crazy offense and solid defense while quacks have offense and no defense. Wash will score at will and will stop Oregon from scoring 56-24 WASHINGTON"
I believe the term "expert" is used loosley in this situation. |

TCU hasn't held much back as they were shooting for the final 4. Ol miss has one of the best defenses in the nation and with a month to prepare for TCU I think they will handle that high powered offense no problem. This reminds me of the Georgia Tech Iowa bowl game 4-5 years ago GTech was 5 point fav's and had crushed everyone all season but Iowa was known for their defense and come bowl game day they stuffed the Gtech offense all day long. Ol miss showed it can play in the last game against miss st. that offense can score points but that defense is phenomenal and with this much time to prepare I'll take my chances with ol miss +3 might wait a little more and see if it goes up any Great insight and great reference. I was at the 2010 orange bowl as a student. In my young and naive ways I unloaded my entire account on the hawks ml. I still regret not throwing a $50 parlay on the ml and under, but that is just me being greedy. I will not be greedy in this game and will take the points.

I like teams with good defense and this team certainly has one. Small play for me as I do not usually like taking lines so large. |

I do not think it applies for this game since the line is small, but like last week OAK +14... final was 19-6. Definitely more applicable to college where the lines are higher than 10 more often. Like L. Tech vs Auburn last week +32.5 and under 64, please I'll take that all day especially with LSU on deck.

More urgency on the side of KC. And as for the most important factor, KANSAS IS AT HOME! Kansas City ML LARGE The transitive property does not apply in sports. Atl beat NO. NO beat Min. Atl lost to Min..... A lot more goes into these games besides such as individual match ups and motivation. I think Mr. Brady is tired of hearing about how he is struggling this year and I am not sure of a more competitive individual on the football field.

But who knows.... 1 special teams ruNyack and over it is! Gl I am glad you cleared this up. The guy you responded to made a completely false statement. It is a lot easier to hit the under and the dog, rather than hoping that the dog "keeps up" and taking the over and the dog. Especially f you think it's going to be a close one score game, hence a defensive battle. Bigbaseballbets go review your algebra son, a lower scoring game would mean that it is easier for the dog to cover those points they are getting. NOT the other way around. With that being said, I am leaning on the under, but I do not have the cajones to lock it in for a primetime game. I do know both teams have solid Ds. I just think the Pats show up this week, but KC is a tough place to play. I might just enjoy the game as a spectator, but I doubt it.

Who is getting the nod tonight? I thought they just announced it was not Hiller, but maybe it was just speculation. I was watching NBA during intermission.
