Big showdown tonite. Should be a great game. I love Seattle in tonight's spot.
Seattle is on fire of late, dropping 50 points each in their last two. granted that won't happen against the 49ers defense tonight, but I do see them moving the ball efficiently against them. 49ers are missing Justin Smith tonite due to injury, and this will affect the 49ers pass rush. Aldon was killing New England's O-Line last week until Justin got knocked out. They were able to double him and give Brady more time in the pocket and that's when NewEngland rallied from down 28 to tie the game at 31. Russell Wilson has been playing amazing ball of late. If Luck and RG3 weren't drafted 1 and 2 overall, we'd be clamoring about him as the ROY. He's very accurate despite being undersized, with the ability to move the pocket to make the appropriate throws to his receivers. I personally love Kaepernick. He's going to be the reason why the 49ers are going to be playing in the super bowl this year. He makes the 49ers offense very explosive, and takes downfield shots that Alex Smith would never have dreamed of. But he has struggled on the road...was unimpressive in St. Louis and in New Orleans. Granted he is coming off an impressive MNF win in New England, but he did have a couple of eye-opening fumbles that could have shifted momentum greatly if their Defense didn;t play so well. Seattle has a great 12th man, toughest place to play in the NFL. It will be loud in there and Seattle's defense mirrors that of the 49ers. Seattle wants this game more. They are at home on prime time, and are angling to win the NFC West and get that bye. It won't happen if they don't win tonite. I'm on Seattle large tonite. Picks: Sea ML -130 Sea 1Q

I'd vote for AP too. Stacked boxes. A QB who can't move the chains to save his life. If Minnesota gets in the playoffs he deserves it. If not I'd give it to Brady. He beat Manning head to head, and in my opinion has the reins to the best team in the NFL.

Lake show have owned this series in recent history. Warriors are playing extremely well, and it appears the books want you to bite on the home doggie by making the Lakers favored. I'm on LA tonight.

Detroit has looked bad much of the year, and I agree Schwartz usually finds a way to lose games. However, I think this is a good spot for them. Home dogs on prime time. They've played well at home. Lost by 4 to GB...a game that I wagered on Detroit. Detroit was up nearly the entire game, GB took the lead late 21-20, Detroit goes 4 and out from their own 20 and GB kicks a meaningless FG to make me push 24-20.
They are outplaying the Texans on turkey day, are tied or up nearly the entire game getting 3.5, when Justin Forsett gets tackled, then decides to take it to the house. Schwartz throws the flag, and the play is never reviewed. Detroit still covers in OT, but have numerous opportunities to win that game outright. Detroit makes cruical mistakes and I definitely want that hook...but they play well at home. Add in the extra motivation after getting destroyed by AZ last week and I see fewer mistakes and some value on the ML. They are killing Indy the entire game only to have Luck break their hearts on the last play of the game and lose 35-33. The

Good luck gentlemen.
There's been much talk about Stafford's poor mechanics. A lot of that has to do with teams being able to get pressure on him and forcing him to make some off balance throws. I don't see ATL being able to get much pressure on Stafford, and if he has all day, he'll carve this secondary up.

Therefore, take the Houston Team total under 99.5.
While Houston tends to push the tempo a lot, the Grizzlies are very good at slowing the game down with their 2 bigs Zbo and Gasol. This game will likely be played in the 90's. Not sure who wins, but I see a 95-93 type of game. Of Note, Memphis has not given up 100 points to anyone this year after their opening day loss to the Clippers where they gave up 101.

I generally don't like backing Matthew Stafford, but I think the hook makes this line too good to pass up. On the one hand we have Atlanta coming off a huge emotional victory against the Giants. People had questions about whether Atlanta could play with the Giants, after the embarassing home loss they suffered last year in the divisional round of the playoffs. They answered the call and more, and shut them out.
Now we have a short week traveling to Detroit who came off a very ugly loss at Arizona last week. 38-10 drubbing from the Ryan Lindley's. Detroit is angry. Even if they are out of the playoffs, they have an opportunity to show on America on primetime that this team isn't a joke. Calvin Johnson is after that receiving record, and as Atlanta (like every other team) schemes to double him over the top, that will open up running lanes for Leshoure and Bell against a very mediocre Atlanta run D. Atlanta doesn't pressure the QB very well either, and if given some time to throw Stafford can be very effective. I think this will be a close game. Give me Det +3.5, and take a small nibble on Det ML +180

Horrible, he may or may not have gotten it. But they should have measured. The ref even marked the ball short!

How did they even measure for the 1st down on that 4th and 1??

I've been doing pretty well to start the bowl season, so I decided to start this bowl thread, hopefully to share some holiday $. I have east carolina +14.5 (in game)and over 68.5 pending for the early game - but obviously won't count that for my record.
As for the Las Vegas Bowl we have a Boise Team that really hasn't played anybody. They've played three noteworthy games and a bunch of cupcakes. They opened the year against a Michigan State team, which is a mirror image of this Boise Team and lost. Both defensive oriented and both average at QB. They played BYU in one ugly ass ESPN game on thursday night. Both solid defensive teams, but both teams struggled with offense in a 7-6 stinker. They played SDSU who lost to BYU earlier this week. Close game, but they lost 21-19. SDSU popped a couple of big runs in the 2nd half, and despite some pretty good field position in the 2nd half Boise could not move the ball against them. SDSU is below average at QB with Dingwell, but has a reasonable defense. I know they recently beat Nevada, (not covering the 7.5) number in the WAC Championship. Nevada is a defense that cannot stop anybody, and made Southwick look much better than he actually is. Washington has played quite a Pac12 schedule. Not sure, but it might be one of the Top 5 toughest schedules in the country. Home wins against strong defensive teams like Stanford and Oregon State come to mind. Washington brings an above average QB in Price, who I think will struggle a little bit against Boise's solid pass defense. However, I also see Southwick struggling against Washington and throwing a couple of costly interceptions changing field position. I think this is going to be a low scoring game. 5 points is too much for Washington, when they very well might be the better team. Plays: Wash +5 Boise TT Under 24.5 -115 |
