web info you may already know my thoughts this week Nfl

The lifeless Rams are running into the wrong team at the wrong time. New Orleans' offense is clicking on all cylinders, while St. Louis has been holstering an empty gun all season. It's very hard to imagine these Rams marching into an energized Superdome and putting up much of a fight. Until St. Louis' offensive line gets healthy, the Rams will continue to get shelled on the field. Coming off of a bye might help St. Louis a little, but not enough to curb the momentum of the streaking Saints, who win this one big.

For the second consecutive week, the Saints showed why they led the NFL in passing yards last season. Drew Brees passed for 445 yards with three touchdowns and should have success against a Rams defense that struggles against the pass. Rams QB Marc Bulger and Gus Frerotte have combined for a 58.4 passer rating and could struggle against a Saints defense that intercepted three passes last week.

Finally a game that should be closeml -600 ha ha ha

My play is buy down saints -9

This should be a fun game to watch this week, as both the Steelers and Browns have been lighting up the scoreboard. Cleveland is anxious to avenge its Week 1 loss at home, but faces a tough task. The Browns' poor defense should have Roethlisberger and company salivating at the mouth, while Cleveland's athletic aerial attack faces a stiff test in arguably the best defense in the league. For both teams' sake, hopefully the weather in the Steel City will be better than Monday so that both offenses can shine. Pittsburgh's defense will be the unit that decides this game, however.

Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger, who injured his ankle, had the second perfect passer rating of his career at 158.3 last week, but will have to be patient against a Browns defense that gives up short routes to protect against the big plays. Browns QB Derek Anderson didn't throw a touchdown for the first time this season, but still passed for 364 yards. Anderson could struggle against a Steelers defense that sacked Steve McNair five times and forced an interception, before he was pulled from the game.

Teaser game of the day

The people are chanting over over. My play is +10 and the under

also will tease +17 under 54

Tennessee is riding a three-game winning streak and keeping pace with the 7-1 Indianapolis Colts in the AFC South. The Titans know Jacksonville is right on their tail, and a win on Sunday would give them some much-needed breathing room. It's important for Tennessee to establish the run early so Young can dissect the Jaguars' defense. Young is due for a strong performance after stringing together consecutive meager showings. He's made it this far without a top wide receiver, although White has helped along the way with three straight 100-yard efforts. Jacksonville will rebound from its worst defensive performance in team history, only to come up short against the rival Titans. Jones-Drew and Taylor have to face Tennessee's tough run defense, leaving a lot of pressure on whoever plays at quarterback. Jacksonville suffers from the same problem as Tennessee with its lack of a go-to wide receiver. That will show this weekend.

Last week, Titans RB LenDale White got his third 100-yard game in a row and could have similar success against a Jaguars defense that allowed Reggie Bush to rush for 72 yards on 17 carries. Jaguars QB Quinn Gray threw for 354 yards, but also had three interceptions. The Jaguars' passing game could struggle against a Titans defense that had seven sacks, while limiting WR Steve Smith to just three catches for 15 yards.

This has the makings of a close game or a sleeper. My play take the +4.5 Poss small bet on +180ml

The striking thing about the Week 2 matchup between these teams was how much more physical the Redskins were than the Eagles, who were smacked around for 60 minutes and failed to match Washington's intensity. A seeming lack of focus and passion has been an almost weekly occurrence for this Philadelphia team, which makes it difficult to pick them to score a road upset against a quality opponent. Talent-wise, the Eagles match up well with the Redskins, but clearly, something's missing with this year's edition of the Birds. 

 Redskins RB Clinton Portis gained 196 rushing yards on 36 carries and should have similar success against an Eagles defense that has struggled against the run. Eagles QB Donovan McNabb turned the ball over twice in the first half last week, but should have more success against a Redskins defense that allowed Kellen Clemens to pass for 226 yards and a touchdown.

2 things here. The eagles have a game chance to earn the paycheck they make. Some big hits are in store for this game. My thoughts is a possible push game. That's why I will buy up to +3

The season is pretty much lost for the Bengals, The Ravens were toasted on Monday and the short week of preparation will be no problem. Even without cornerbacks Rolle and McAlister, the Ravens have plenty of veteran leadership to allow them to rebound this week. All-Pro linebacker Ray Lewis always has something to say, and you can bet the members of the defense heard a lot this week in practice. Reed must make sure the younger substitutes do not repeat their performance in Pittsburgh, though. If the secondary suffers through another breakdown, Palmer will eat the defensive backfield alive with three talented wide receivers at his disposal. McNair can hear the criticism, but the naysayers won't have much to say after this weekend. McGahee will take some of the pressure off of McNair, who has enjoyed much success against Cincinnati. Baltimore will also have the home crowd in its corner, making it even more difficult for the Bengals to establish much on offense.

Last week, Ravens RB Willis McGahee ran for 50 yards on 12 carries and broke a 33-yard run for a touchdown. McGahee should have more success against a Bengals defense that gave up 153 rushing yards on 29 carries to RB Marshawn Lynch. The Bengals rushed for just 28 yards on 17 carries and faces a Ravens defense that swarms to the ball and held Willie Parker to just 42 yards on 23 carries.

This is the bouceback game of the week After last week, The raven will hurt the bengals. The helmet to helmet rule may show its face today.

Buy down -3 and take the ml -190

The Detroit Lions aren't supposed to fall victim to the dreaded "trap game." They are the trap game, or at least they used to be, since there is a new energy around the men wearing Honolulu Blue and Silver. Still, from a talent perspective, they match up fairly evenly with an Arizona team that has been saddled by some bad luck and untimely injuries but will have every opportunity to take control of the NFC West in the second half. Already this year, two quality teams - Seattle and Pittsburgh - have come to Glendale and wilted in the heat. 

The Lions will not impress anyone with their overall ranks of 28th in NFL total defense (359.1 yards per game) or 30th against the pass (258 yards per game), but in a game where forcing turnovers and applying pressure leads directly to wins, Detroit has been among the top units in the league. Marinelli's club has forced a league-high 24 turnovers through eight games, including a fumble return for a touchdown by end Dewayne White (31 tackles, 5.5 sacks, 1 INT) and an interception return for a touchdown from tackle Shaun Rogers (20 tackles, 4.5 sacks, 1 INT) last Sunday. Detroit sacked Broncos quarterbacks five times in the contest, two-and-a-half of which went to the reigning NFL Defensive Player of the Week Rogers. From a statistical standpoint, the Lions' strength is stopping the run, as they rank 12th in the league in that category (101.1 yards per game). Linebackers Paris Lenon (65 tackles, 2 sacks) and Ernie Sims (71 tackles, 1 sack, 1 INT) have shown consistent tackling ability behind interior lineman Rogers and Cory Redding (18 tackles).

Detroit holds a 31-22-5 lead in an all-time series that dates back to the 1930 season, when the then-Portsmouth Spartans faced off with the then-Chicago Cardinals. Arizona was a 17-10 home winner when the teams met in Week 11 of last season, snapping a three-game losing streak in the series. Detroit's last win in the series came in 2005, a 29-21 home affair. The Lions are 0-4 in Arizona since last winning there in 1993.

Detroit (6-2) at Arizona (3-5)

My mother always said: do not touch that! it's hot! That's what the lions are. HOT!

the cards are favored by 1.5? Look at the record. difficult game to call. But, The heat can burn. the under 45 is the only play I can do. 

This is really the last stand for both of these teams, who both need to open the second half with a win to have any hope of salvaging their respective seasons. Which is more capable of getting that done? It has to be the reigning NFC champs, who should come off the bye week in a better mental and physical frame of mind, and still have a good cross-section of talent left from their recent run of success. The Raiders have been competitive all year and will continue to be this week.

 Bears QB Brian Griese has moved the offense through the air at times, but he's also been intercepted 10 times in five starts. Griese could struggle against the Raiders' defense, which ranks forth in the league against the pass. The Raiders got their running game back on track with 153 yards on 33 carries and will attack a Bears defense that has been gashed repeatedly, including the 311 rushing yards allowed in Week 6.

This is the I lost my ass on the early games play. Dont bother with the ml. No over no under. ImoThe bears crush the raiders.

Lay the -3.5 I hope to hit big on this game.

 Stay the f$#k away I'll blast ya!
