I'm feeling you on this one... Washington to the bank. I try fading the G-men against the Cards this past weekend and that was the "easy" bet of the week. Giants win, but don't cover the # this week.

If i was a Skins fan i'd probably lean that way as well. Its my team so definately a no play here. Don't sleep on the Skins though ;) If Campbell shows up its on.

Ok, 11-3-0 on Golden Picks and (17-4-0 overall) after dropping one last night to Drew Brees playing in "GOD" mode. Wow, what a freakin game. That boy is unstoppable.
Anyways, this Giants / Redskins game jumped out at me right away. I have no clue why the spread is Giants -3.5.
I personally was able to watch Manning and the Giants from 10 yards away this weekend completely dominate the Cardinals by playing sound and mistake free football with a very, very good balance team. They are truly the best team in the NFL as of now.
We all saw what the Steelers did to the Redskins a few weeks ago, and I see this game going the same way. Redskins are not successful playing against physical teams and I personally saw how physical the Giants play. WOW! They are beastly!
Redskins can not get to the QB (only 17 sacks), which means Manning will have all day to pick this Defense apart. Giants O line is incredible and their number 1 rushing Offense will be able to dominate the Redskins all game.
The Giants D (who is only giving up 18 more rushing yards per game than the Steelers) will stack the box to stop the "banged up" Portis and Jason Campbell will be forced to beat them. And if Warner, Boldin and Fitz can't beat them, I don't see Campbell and company doing anything here. Especially, when the Giants are bringing their 32 sacks at them on every play. Campbell has been sacks 28 times compared to Manning's 13.
Gaint's are playing their best football right now and Tom Coughlin is so extreme that their is now way they come out flat against the Redskins.
Skins are struggling and beaten up right now to say the least, they barely pulled out a victory against the lowly Seahawks this past weekend.
The side to be on here is Giant's -3 (buy hook). Get this early as I see the line going up.
Golden Pick - Giant's -3 (buy hook)
Feel free to discuss this game....
Hey Talent,
Thanks for all your insight, your writeups, and your money picks. I started following your picks last night but even though you lost I think that trend won't continue based on your record. I loved this bet when I first looked at it as well. The Giants will want to beat the Redskins bad as it is a divisional game and that if they win this game could go a long way to knocking the Skins out of the playoffs. I feel stupid for asking but I need to ask this and anyone else out there can respond if they know the answer too. What do you mean by buy the hook?

BigShotBill - "buying the hook" means buying the 0.5pt. Most places have the Giants at -3.5, so he's saying you should pay the extra 10 cents on the dollar and buy the line down to -3, so you can avoid losing by a 0.5pt or "the hook."
Good luck, Talent888.

FYI... I know this shouldn't matter much, but becareful about the Heart of a team. Just remember "21" Sean Taylor "RIP" is coming up on the 1 year anniversary. I believe Washington will be honoring "21" before the game. So the Skin maybe playing way over their heads. Emotion & Heart can be the difference. I probably won't touch this game.

Bigshotbill: Buy the hook means buy a key half a point to get it to minus three so a win by a field goal gives you a push, IE a refund of the amount bet. Tried like hell to do that with my Giants -3.5 bet over the Cardinals but my books were not having it.

I agree that the Giants look great this weekend. The great thing about the dominant teams this year is how tight their spreads always are. Nothing like when flashier teams like the Pats and Cowboys were on top last season laying two touchdowns left and right.

Redskinnut wtf man. You seem so depressed every post. "Enjoy your winnings" etc every week now. Like you are too honorable to actually start making picks that make sense. Bet you felt like part of a special club fading the public... me too, but that system was BS anyway. Betting on inferior teams based on the line is lame to me at this point. Why not make your picks first, then view the lines and if you see one that looks soft, attack? Why get demoralized and avoid betting something you know will probably hit? Which is the greater follower, the man who makes his own pick even if a lot of them end up being "public" or the one who just does what the lines tell him to regardless of his own thoughts on the game?
Get on board. This is not the pro public train, either, it's the one that thinks the league is not corrupt and some of these lines are in fact as far off as they look. Atlanta minus only three to Oakland, Cardinals minus only three to the Rams, Pats getting three in a revenge game with Miami, Giants minus only three to Cards who anyone with a brain knew they matched up well against... what the fuck were they thinking?!?
Take the money or I have no sympathy for you. It won't work all the time but it will work more than that old system of yours and feel a lot more honest in the process. GL.

The posted line makes you scratch your head, looks like a gift. I thought the Zona line was telling me to take Zona, and I did and my book made out...I might buy the hook early here and enjoy the gift just like New England last week.

Well, fortunetely for me and my bank account, I do not put too much on if a line "looks to good to be true" or how much of the public is on a certain side. I'm too much of a good capper for that.

I like the Giants and think they are for real. If giants secondary can contain and stop Santana Moss and Chris Cooley, and the Giants Defensive Line starts sacking and pressuring Campbell, and containing Portis, Washington will be in for a long nite. Also l would like to mention Washingtons defensive line is banged up and there might be some rearrangement of personal up front. With a healthy defensive line the Giants could run the ball against them and anyone in the NFL at this time. So with that said coupled with Brian Jacobs coming back, the NYG should be very successful on the ground. And to further my arguement the Skins lost ranking in Run Defense and went from 5th to 7th against a No. 1 Rushing offense. Also on th flip side of the coin, you have a healthy NYG Offensive Line protecting Manning, which will give him time to find his receivers, they should fair well with their air attack.
I saw what the Giants did to Baltimores defense and the Giants passed the ball when they wanted to, ran the ball when they wanted to and scored efficiently. And the same was said for the Giants against the Cards, cant see the Skins Defense being any better than Baltimores or the Cards at this juncture. Giants just dominate, keep the other teams offense off the field and Special teams seems to get back the ball for the Giants and put points on the board as well. I will admit Im a NYG Fan and hate betting on them, but I like them and will mostly bet them...... -3.5
seems like a gift. Call me crazy but that is how I see it. Any opinions let me know....
GL to all....

I was reading the NY post Today and One Guy said in his article that you could go broke going against the Giants..I would have to agree the way they are playing

Hard to bet against the G-MEN, no doubt, while I've made some good $$$ on them going to back to the playoffs last year, I did fade them @ CLE, @ Philly and last week @ AZ. 1-2 fading OTR, will pass this week @ 3.5 (or 3 for that matter). NFC east battle and probably more important game for 'Skins, can't bet on the 'skins and won't bet against the Giants. Do believe this game will be typical NFC low scoring dogfight, with 'Skins having slight chance to win. Gotta' believe there are better games to cap than this one.
LEAVING THIS ONE ALONE...
HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL!!!
