No play for Thursday, way too tough but leaning Ravens.
(Colts -7.5 vs Bengals) The Bengals could have won the Monday night game & the refs helped them a little but the refs seem to help the Steelers more & more as the years go by. It took the Bengals 3 quarters to get going but finally did. They showed spark & a will to win (did I just say that) in the 4th quarter but fell short of the goalline for a win.
The Colts has some serious help from the refs last week & those calls were just plain awful but when you're Manning & are an underdog which rarely happens, you gotta snatch up those points. The refs helping made alot of bettors furious & for good reason but if those bettors want revenge, this is the game!
Bengals +7.5 (HUGE) buy hook
(Jaguars -1 vs Texans) I see alot of people on the Texans & just cant understand why? If you're backing the Texans, you are backing a team that is in a downward spiral. Their defense is shredded week after week & I just cant see how even the Jaguars wont go threw them like swiss cheese. The Texans held a lead over the Chargers last week for most of the game but fell apart. Sure the Texans can score but it wont be enough in this game.
Both teams are sitting at 4-4 & need a win badly. The Jaguars are coming off a bye week & well rested after beating the Cowboys pretty bad on the road. The Texans lost 2 tough games back to back weeks & I dont see them rebounding this week against a fresh & well rested Jags team.
Jaguars -1 (HUGE) (Biggest play for me in 3 years)
(Vikings -1 vs Bears) I looked at this game for more than an hour trying to figure out why Minnesota is a favorite while the Bears are the team with the better record.
The Vikings are coming off a come from behind win to the Cards with Favre's heroics. The Vikings are sitting at 3-5 & in a must win game & dont have a game to throw away. Favre is looking for revenge to last years loss on Monday night as the lowly Bears coming off 7 straight losses wound winning. The Vikings are hosting the Packers next week & losing this game would have them sitting at 3-6
which can happen but imo wont.
The Bears can afford a loss which will take them to 5-4 & still in 2nd place only a game back behind the Packers who are on a bye. The Bears won in a too close for comfort game that had them battling it out with the winless Bills. Bears could have easily lost that game but got lucky in a few drives, but then again, the Bears have known to be lucky this season.
Vikings -1 (HUGE) play
(Giants -14 vs Cowboys) The Giants are looking like the best team in the NFC but lets not get carried away. The Saints, Falcons & Green Bay all have 6 wins as well. The Giants coming off a well rested bye week beat the Seahawks pretty bad. The Giants beat the Cowboys 3 weeks ago on a Monday night game & beat them bad & dont let the comeback by Dallas fool you, it was worse than the final score.
Dallas showed they have given up this season, atleast in the 1st half. Jerry Jones fired the Dallas HC after the dismantling of the Cowboys last Sunday night in Green Bay. He was embarrassed how his team played with a lack of emotion & decided it was time for a change. The change of coaches might not be enough for a Dallas win, but they will keep this game inside the number. Alot of people will ask why I think Dallas will finally show up after they have shown nothing in the previous games, trust me, I agree with you but with this coaching change, it will spark some life in this lifeless team & they havent forgotten the embarrassing loss 3 weeks ago on Monday night to this Giants team. I see a final score of Giants 24-13. This play will not be popular.
Cowboys +14 (HUGE) play
(Steelers -5 vs Patriots) Steelers on their 3rd road game in a row last week went into Cincinnati & got the win. They had a commanding lead but the Monday night games this season always have a way of getting too close for comfort in the 4th quarter & I believe its all for tv ratings. With that said, the Steelers defense kept the Bengals out of the endzone & got the 6 point win. Too damn close to the closing number of 5 at most places.
The Patriots got suprised by the Browns coming off a bye week & beating them convincingly. The Browns have beaten the Saints & Patriots in back to back games which suprised alot of people. Patriots have a pretty good record off a loss & I dont see much changing here. Belichick will have his team ready for battle & looking for a win, not just a cover.
Patriots +5 (HUGE) play
No opinion on Cincy and Pats...I think the line is right on in those 2 games.
