BOL

Just posted my write-up I think the Bears are drained, their running game did nothing last week so I don't think they'll be able to fully rely on it this week and the Raiders will be hungry to get a home W

Thanks man!  Ya the Ravens had that game completely in control by winning the battle in the trenches- they've been great to me hitting big against the Bengals, Steelers, and Niners

all i care about in the philly game is brady taking aim at the pathetic iggles secondary and ben jarvis ellis pounding the ball hard on the awful iggle run defense. Ps the iggles are banged up just as bad as the pats missing vick maclin cromartie and even if he plays asomougha will be banged up. pats 30 phi 20

Love your insights mt..I was just about to blast you picking the bears again until I saw your write up. I've been on a good roll the last two weeks..my big downfall was my bet against the bears v. detroit 2 weeks ago.  Maybe you need to worry cause I'm going with the Raiders too...

 Haney has the heart and wants to play badly..he's no punk, but he can't put the ball in windows like Cutler.

He still gets a lot of love for the NFC C-ship game last year. I think he played well there because he didn't think he was going to play so he didn't have time to get nervous,  and he had the home crowd.

Different story this week..Raiders will get after him, he's gotta' learn how to deal with a crazy ass road crowd, plus he's had a week to think about it and the weight of a great sports town like Chicago depending on him. Don't think it'll work out for him this week, We will see.

Peace brother.

Hey my friend, good to see you posting this early, great explantions and insights on the games.
So the Raiders, I'm not really convinced, partly because of their many penalties (# 1 on offense). Also, the TO ratio I do not like really.
Do not get me wrong please, I do not want your pick bad. I just wanted to write what keeps me off the Raiders in this game.
The Raiders have to complain of some injured, and there by the loss of Cutler, I also think that there will be a lot of running game on Forte.
But then I read the failure Hester and I think that's great loss. I remember how often this guy the egg after a punt/kick return worn deep into the opposing half with his athletics.
At first I thought it would be under a better game, but since the line is already fallen from 45 to 41.5, I know not. What do you think ?
The Eagles game I like, but like any game I do not have enough inside information because I can also track unfortunately not so much games live.
Man, that were these times in the early 90´s than AFN here brought the games live every Sunday and I still had much more time to pursue everything that I knew the strengths and weaknesses of most players. I was so infected, but as I got older I've seen less and less football and now I'm not really into the matter. Therefore, I am very grateful for your views of the Games. It helps me very much to get a better feel for the game.
Also Eagles and Rams you got me bought, half Browns
Tampa, Raiders (my book still offering +4,5)
I am considering a parlay with
PHI +3,5 / STL ML / CLE +7 / SD -6 and maybe adding NYG Ov51
What do think of this ?

All the best this weekend my friend and keep it rollin
and remember all found grammar errors you may keep.

very tough game- a lot of signs point towards a Jets rout but people seem to forget how poorly Sanchez is playing of late and it's never easy for a team with talent like the Bills to get blown out 4 times in a row.  Although I don't want to back Fitzpatrick at all and the total is just as muddy can't tell how the offenses are going to do today.

They grossly outgained the Giants and Packers on the road but were blown out. You can't judge this Rams team off one game. The Cards pass rush isn't great but against a o- line that is decimated, a fragile Bradford that has clearly regressed and without weapons for him to use outside Llyod. I see the same game as last week vs the Hawks. The Rams are clearly the worst team in the NFC.

This play is as much of a play on the Rams as it is a fade of the Cardinals.  It is very similar to the Browns-Jags game last week.  I just don't think the Cardinals will have much energy here in an early East Coast as they won't have to fly out here again for a really long time.  Skelton didn nothing against the Rams in the other matchup and the Rams pass rush can expose the Cards O-Line.  The injury to nose tackle of Cards is huge because the Rams can now run the ball unlike last week against the Seahawks.  This gives Bradford short yardage throwing situations which he does well in against a non-existant Zona pass rush.

This is coming from the same guy who said that the Giants would cover against the 49ers and told me to stop telling people to take the Ravens +3.5 against the Steelers.

Brady hasn't been sharp lately and this Iggles secondary that you refer to is miles better than the secondary that the Pats will be putting on the field today.  Sorry bud, the hungry dog is jumping all over a Pats team that has played poor ball of late and is really banged up.

haha I completely agree about Hanie not doing well here.  I have had a good read on the Bears this season and they are in a very tough spot against a Raiders team that wants to prove themselves.

Hope we cash on OAK and keep heading in the right direction!

Thanks for the post man!  I lean under for the Bears game but I still feel as though both teams could put up points as they are not impotent offenses.  I love the Eagles this weekend and throw in the Redskins +3 into that parlay.
