6-2 (+4 Units) on the Season, Week 2 Winners inside...

Question

Heres a few games I like (sorry, not enough time for writeups... 4pm Games will have write-ups shortly):

GB-13: too much for Buffalo, could be close but GB has weapons for days! and they can defend the Run which is the only thing the Bills can do decent!

Ravens -2.5 (hook): B'more is serious this season! not enough respect yet with the linesmakers!

Miami + 6: like this spot for them, theyll run the ball today with success!!

Chicago +7: the Bears Offense can keep up with the Boys today!

Detroit +7.5: these arent your 08 Lions... theyll lose A LOT of 1 score games... take the TD here!

Seahawks +3.5 (hook): Better team than most think! Veteran QB with some Young Weapons at WR!

Writeups coming soon... Along with a couple more picks!

Sorry for the lateness today... As im doing everything while on the train, taking advantage of my Smart Phone!

Last week, I was lucky enough to finish strong with 2 MNF Wins in Baltimore and KC, unfortunately I only posted my Baltimore play so I cannot claim my KC victory for my records sake... but my Pockets don't care!

The picks above are all 1-Unit Plays, except for Baltimore, I've got them for 2-Units...

Seattle's my only 4 p.m. game that I've posted so far but I had to rush my 1 p.m. post, so that it wouldn't be too late.

Adding to my 4 p.m. plays:

Oakland -2.5 (2-Units): I figured this spread might be a bit larger but I guess Oakland hasn't quite gained enough respect to be laying anymore than a FG, even at home against an awful team with a Rookie QB starting under center... Since the Rams don't have a clear-cut #1 WR, Nnamdi will probably be on the strong-side or possibly on Mark Clayton (had 119 Receiving Yds in Wk1), taking him out of the game. Being as how Bradford's a Rookie, he might try and force the ball into Clayton but we shall see... I still believe Oakland's Defense was much improved through the draft with Rolando McClain and a healthy/happy Richard Seymour to anchor and lead that defensive unit. Their Offensive improvement with Jason Campbell has been well documented and they should be much more competent on Offense this season. St Louis is still rebuilding and looking to grow, whereas Oakland is convinced that they can Win Now and if they truly believe they can compete with San Diego, KC, and Denver out West, theyre gonna need to Win games like this, at Home against "inferior" opponents... and Im willing to Bet they Win by 3 or more!!!

NYJ +3.5 (1-Unit): Suddenly the Jets are gonna go 0-2? I don't think so... Yes they looked AWFUL last week and I LOVED the Ravens in Wk1... but this is Wk2 and the Jets will right the ship!! I like the Jets to test the Patriots young secondary and have some success, look for LdT to get the ball in some space and have a big play or two. Greene needs to hold onto the ball today and Sanchez cannot turn the ball over but he must open up his game more this week! The Patriots don't have a Running game anymore, atleast they don't have a bonafide #1 RB, but they have a decent fossil back there with Fred Taylor and Kevin Faulk is the do-all back, or jack of all trades, he can do a little bit of everything, but nothing all that well! I cant see the Pats having any success at all Rushing today, forcing them into passing the ball too much, and the Jets D is opportunistic. The ONLY thing that worries me is Darrelle Revis' Health, I do not know if hes really healthy, if hes not, that could be a big issue... if he is, and he is the "usual Revis island", the Jets will Win today.

Houston -2.5 (1-Unit): This pick troubled me the most. My Gut says Houston but my Head says Washington... Remember, last week my Gut said Houston, where my Head said Indy... Luckily I went with my Gut... Im gonna trust my Gut again here and take the Texans. Houston just has weapons for days! With Arian Foster's emergence, they add a versatile every down back to the Best WR in Football in AJ, 2 more VERY solid #2 WRs in Kevin Walter and Jacoby Jones (1 more possession, Walter... and the other 1 more big play ability, Jones), then you add in a VERY Quality TE (health issues but when healthy, he's a Beast!), and you Tie all of this together with a Pro-Bowl QB in Matt Schaub... and you get one of the Leagues Best Offenses!!! Their Defense appears so far, to have improved from lastyr... I DISLIKE this spot for them on the Road, and I always am against a Dome Team playing on the Road on Grass... Infact, this factor almost made me layoff this play but Im stubborn and im sticking with the Texans!!

Lots of Plays again this week!!! A LOT more Fav's this week (only 1 Played last week!) but I always LOVE my Dogz!!!

I look forward to your responses and I hope we all WIN $$$ This Week!!!

To those with ME!!!

To those against ME!!!

I just realized that Im supposed to have a 6-2 Record with +6 Units but I forgot to factor in my earnings from MNF! I added up the Wins but not their worth!!!!

Anyways... a few Games went Final from the 1 P.M. time slot:

Baltimore -2.5: Cincinnati Played Baltimore tough, like I thought they would... but Baltimore DID NOT play the Bengals as tough as I figured they could!!! Im still VERY confident in the Ravens as Potential League Champs but they've gotta play above average teams much better than today! Todays game means 1 of 2 things... Either 1, the Bengals are MUUCH Better than I thought!!!! or 2, the Jets are MUUCH Worse than I thought!!!! or lets add a 3rd option... the Ravens are VERY inconsistent, and today is just an example of that inconsistency!!!!

Chicago +7: Da Bears looked awesome in Dallas!!! I expected them to be able to keep up with Da Boys and eventually edge them out with a defensive stand when they needed it, but instead they pretty much just outplayed them all game long! Chicago really proved that they're legitimate and can hang with anyone in the NFC, even the Cowboys, who many predicted to take home the NFC crown!!! Da Bears have ALWAYS played GREAT Defense and Special Teams, its pretty much been a staple for them for the entire Decade, but now they're showing some competence on the Offensive side of the ball!!!!! With Mike Martz running the spread offense, a la St Louis Rams 1999-2001. Cutler is no Warner... Forte is no Marshall... Knox is no Bruce, and Hester is no Holt!!!! But Mike Martz IS Mike Martz!!!!!! BUT the Rams Defense and Special Teams on the "Best show on turf" wasn't even close to Chicago's 2010 Version!!! I might be getting waaaayyyy ahead of myself but I really like Chicago this season, as theyve finally found an Offense to go with the other 2/3's of the game!!! They go to the Super Bowl a few seasons ago, on literally JUST D/ST! The books should start to respect them... But until then, I'm going to continue to POUND them!!!!

Miami +6: Im not surprised at all that the Dolphins Won against Minnesota, but what I am surprised about, is that they did it while only Totaling 120 Yards Rushing. I guess it makes complete sense, as the Vikings have defended the Run VERY well for the past couple of Seasons! The Fins ran the ball when they had to, and they were successful doing it! They forced Favre into making A LOT of mistakes, and he made them... Ugly and Often!!! Brett has to protect the football if the Vikings expect to Win football games, as does Peterson!!! Miami capitalized on Minnesota's MANY MANY mistakes... on their way to a Solid Victory!!!! I hope you took them with me!!!

Detroit +7.5: Vick played much better than I gave him credit for!!!! Detroit played much worse than I gave them credit for!!!!! That underlined statement was made by me, about 15 Minutes ago, with around 4-5 Minutes left in the Detroit vs. Philly Game, when Detroit was down by 2 Scores and Double Digit Points!!! HaHaHaHa!!! I genuinely thought I lost that Bet!!! Thats the ULTIMATE Back-Door Cover!!! The Final Score was Very Similar to what I thought would happen... I figured that they'd be in the game, but I figured they'd come up a big short, while having a chance to actually Win the game late... Very Similar to Last Weeks Barn Burner!!! Wow, im just happy to escape this one with a W... I've said it before, and I'll say it again!! Id MUCH rather be LUCKY than GooD!!!!

Well I finished the 1 p.m. Games with a 4-1 Record (+3 Units). Well I've got 4 more Games to patiently await completion... Hopefully we can go 3-1 or 4-0 and that'll give us a tremendous afternoon!!! Worst case-scenario, I'll take a Split at 2-2 and finish off the day at 6-3, a Solid Day!!!

Wish me Luck Ladies & Gents!!!

To add onto this... I should&#x27;ve pegged this one! Not only should I have NOT Bet Baltimore, but I probably could&#x27;ve even convinced myself to Bet the Bengal&#x27;s. I say this bc of a few factors... First and usually most important, is that this game is/was a Divisional Game, which in the AFC North, means A LOT!!! This entire Division Plays each-other VERY well, and they bruise each other big time!!! Though I really like the Ravens to contend this season, their AFC North Foes will continue to play them Tough, despite their play against other Divisions, this is one Division where they "get up" for eachother!! I have a rule in the AFC North... if you get a Home Dog... take it!!! and I didnt!!! This Division is waaayy too good to NOT take the team getting Points... This Division is waaayy too good to NOT take the team at Home... Now if you can get BOTH!?!??! POUND IT!!!! and I didn&#x27;t! Like a fool!!!!! You live and you learn my friend...... You live and you learn!!! &#xA0;&#xA0;.... and sometimes its frustrating!!!&#xA0;&#xA0;&#xA0;i know, i know &#xA0; &#xA0;Also, I forgot to Update my Overall Record: 10-3 with &#x2B;9 Units... Solid Start to the Season and a Solid 4-1 Start to Wk2... Lets Finish Week 2 Strong!!!

2-2 (-1 Unit) on my 4 p.m. plays... Definitely stumbled a bit with Seattle and I just missed Covering with Oakland by.5 Pts

.... But thats Betting!!!

I was able to nail the NYJs Pick and I narrowly escaped my "Gut" feeling on Houston

Thank God for the Hook!!!

I was a half point away from being 7-2 on the day but instead, Ill take a 6-3 (+3 Unit) Day!

Overall, that puts me at a 12-5 Record with +8 Units !!!

Good start to the season! I took Indy -5 but I obviously didnt have the time to post my pick here

Its all good...

MNF, Im feeling.... SF +5.5... NOT Locked in yet... MNF Pick will be posted Tomorrow... I Really DONT LIKE this MNF Game, I actually might lay-off if my Colts pick holds up... Well see!
