Week 8 - Valuez

Agree completely.  I'm not thrilled about taking Oakland on the road considering how dumb their coach is and how many mental mistakes (penalties) they make but that's just too many points to be catching.  These are two very similar teams with young QB's, marginal receivers and great defenses.  I just don't see how there can be a seven point difference between these two teams.  I had it at -3 Ravens as well.  Under 36 I will look at strongly as well.  Not thrilled that it's a 1:00 p.m. start with the Raiders travelling cross country but in Week 3 against the Bills it was the same spot with the early start and the easily covered the 10 points and should have won outright.

Raiders +7

Im leaning to Miami...They've lost 2 games in a row now and people are probably thinking its the same old Phins and their two wins against NE and SD were just flukes.  I wish i could get a FG and maybe i will as Buffalo seems  to be flying high right now.  This is the type of game Buffalo loses though, Its a classic letdown spot for them

Your correct....While i do admit it, im a little afraid of the high line, i know if the line was 4.5, 5.5, 6.5, 7...i would take it with the confidence that Philly was going to win by 2 TDs, so thats why im trying to have no fear here.  Your correct though, Eagles seems to jump out fast and then let up a bit late in the 2nd quarter and 3rd quarters

I agree with you that this game is probably a fade-the-public play easily and initially it looks like more people will be on San Diego but once that line gets to 3.5, you'll see alot of New Orleans money come in to probably even the money out.  Watching The Saints their offense is in-ept without Bush, he makes it dynamic.  Both teams are in a must-win situation here.  I think a loss here seriously knocks both teams out of the playoff hunt, especially New Orleans but unfortunetly for them, thats the way the ball bounced this year.  If they beat Minnesota like they should have and came out on top in Denver, they would have been able to withstand this Bush injury.

As far as Brees wanting to beat his old team, im sure he does, but i dont think he has some type of major grudge against them.  On the flipside, i think Rivers wants to beat Brees just as bad, just to show that it was the right move and it should have been done even sooner.  Just like how Aaron Rogers wanted to come out in week 1 and have a great game which he did. 

What i've been doing so far with this game (but not posting) is playing Hockey parlays with San Diego -2.5.  Example a NHL team at home that is like -200 or something with buying the half with the Chargers, its getting me about 2-1.  Im not betting huge with it, cuz even heavy home favs are never for sure in Hockey, but if i can do that 4-5 times, i'll have somethin nice on the Chargers under a FG

WW....dont worry, im a big Philly fan myself...but im usually able to throw it aside in wagering as i layed off the Dallas game in Week 2 and took Chicago in week 4, while hitting them against Pitt and SF....but only losing Wash.  I like them having everyone back and i think Atlanta reverts back to their previous road play as opposed to how they played up in Lambeau
