Not a lot of conviction here as Celtics injury bug continues (Kyrie, possibly Morris, Baynes). But still like Boston -5... and the over. Celtics Jaylen Brown, Gordon H., and Rozier have suffered in the battle for minutes and touches, but all show signs recently of recovering their shooting stroke when the lineup is depleted and they can get a rhythm. Rick Carlysle pretty good ATS vs. Boston; Celtics a decent home cover team with a modest spread. Normally fade C's as a home fave this year, but in this case, Stevens and Celtics find a way. 121-114 Boston. Lotta points in paint for both teams. |

It's nice to learn from the make-picks menu at Covers that the Chargers are still in San Diego. ;-) |

congratchs to raider nation. i heard the raider radio play by play as the game wound down....
the NFL is better, football is better, when "the Rrrraiduhz" (Chris Berman voice) are a legit contender. -- cheezehead |

Sacramento should benefit from their weird cancellation the other night -- a 3-day rest in medias road trip. Hard to say much about this propsition until we know if Cousins is playing or not though. |

If eye test means anything, Washington wouldn't even be atop the Pac 12. USC thumped them. You want a rational system? They should turn it over to Vegas. I'm serious. Alabama, Ohio State, USC, Clemson.

good thread. i like this proposition -- Brady won't be around forever. Denver, tired coach, old lineup. Pittsburgh and Balty well-run, well-coached. It's hard to picture del Rio going all the way, but who knows. I miss Al Davis.... he had unfinished business. I always hoped he would become the first guy to fire a coach at halftime. Maybe Jerry Jones, or that global nincompoop in Jacksonville. - cheezehead

Can't help myself, lovin' Carolina in this one. Digitalkarma is almost right but I would emend what he says to, Cards were a great bet most of the year. Not any more. Panthers have put it together, and are at home.

it's hard to love anyone in this bitter rivalry. Bell smarting, Nada coming off suspension. which is why I like, not love but like, Balty +3. in a matchup that's usually this close, take the points -- and buy the hook.

Thoughts???? best bargains above: Green Bay, New England (Pats, always a good 50-50 bet to make the Superbowl in the weak AFC. Packers, have fixed some needs, and will have Aroj and Clay most of the year.) worst in terms of price value: Seattle, Denver, Carolina, New Orleans imho. |

at 3.5 mil against the cap, Peppers is a bargain. yah, he took plays off last year on a pitiful Bears that couldn't even win the division with no Aroj and no Clay for Green Bay. Still had 7 1/2 sacks. this year, he'll go 10-12, enjoying single blocking for the first time in his career.

Nope. Having a "top QB" is overrated, especially when their salary surges. SF, the Ravens, Seattle were all blessed with competent but low-cap QBs when they won, and note that Brady won all his Superbowls before he became established in most people's minds as The Man. Keep him under his current contract and let him show a little more consistency.

Mike North, who I love listening too even though he's a Flatlander, considers this a great move for the Bears --
but I'm optimistic about this rare free-agent move by Ted Thompson.... Yes, Peppers is getting old, but he also lacked motivation last year in Chicago... he won't this year. I believe Reggie White had one of his best seasons at about that age in 1998. Ditto Charles Haley. The quarter-of-a-step Peppers has lost will be made up for by the fact that for the first time in his career, he won't be double-teamed much... at least not if Clay Matthews can stay in the lineup. Don't need 15 sacks from him. Ten, with some forced fumbles, and other guys chipping in, would be a big help. Here's hoping too that the Packers give him a lot of rest and rotation. Could be just what he needs to have a little spurt here, especially as the Packers seem to be of a mind to run some different looks with him, sew a little confusion again. At only $3.5 mil on the cap, it's a worthwhile risk to take. Go get 'em Julius -- I've got the link for the Mike North video if you need any extra bulletin board material for offseason conditioning. |
