I highly doubt Washington comes back to cover this game.  There are only 2 minutes and they are down 17 and I'm only laying 7.  So I'm just going to consider it a win If I lose I really could care less.

3-1 on Recommended Plays...5-3 overall for Week 7.  Things are changing though for the NFL...just like I did in College.  My Record now is 28-17.

The only lean I have right now is

Minnesota +3, I will be betting this no matter what.  I think Minnesota is going to kick their ass, and I think Favre is going to light it up.  If Clifton and Jermichael Finley are out Sunday I will unload on this thing. 

No plays yet..I'm going to be patient with the card.  I will play maybe 3 games between 1 and 7 and will be playing both the Sunday Night and Monday Night games.  5 plays or less a week from now on.

Time to start discussing Week 8

I like to get a jump start. 

Kinda glad the Bengals have a bye Sunday...think they needed it.

Have yet to look at the game

Initial look at -9 yes...

Carolina is kinda banged up. 

This is the week when teams will really start separating themselves from the pack guys.  The injuries are evening out time to see who the men and who the boys are.

Get off the Colts train this week and still say on the Saints train?

49ers seems to be stronger now with Alex Smith as thier QB instead of Shaun Hill. As well as Michael Crabtree as thier WR.

Minnesota +3 (10) - This is going to be my big banger of the week no matter what...so why not now fuck it.



Didn't even realize no Sunday Night game.

Don't you think books are prepared to take about 75%+ action on the Vikes?  The line seems really fishy.

Well heres my take on this.  Houston was up what 21-0 at halftime or something.  They bench Hill who Houston game planned for right?  Bring in Smith, who came in and of course looked like Joe Montana and threw 3 TD passes.  Crabtree is only going to play in his second NFL game.  Andre Johnson did leave the game as well.  Now the Colts have a whole week to game plan for Alex Smith

The Colts are a really healthy team right now, which is a big factor in the NFL.  I don't care what anyone says...Injuries are humongous in the NFL.

I am really liking the Colts -11, especially with Sanders getting an extra week of rest on the road at the Edward Jones Hotel in St. Louis.  If Sanders is at full speed, Gore will be neutralized, and this will force Smith to try and win a game with his arm, which I don't think he can do against Indy.  Niners have good run defense, but they cannot defend the pass, and their LBs can't cover good TE's...expect Clark, as usual, to have a big game.

Prediction: 31-13 Colts

That takes away from the fun..

Heres my prediction for this game.  Jared Allen sacking Aaron Rodgers over and over again.  Clifton is a huge loss for the Packers.  I doubt he plays and even if he does he isn't healthy.  The Vikings will not lose this game.

Don't care about being fishy don't care about percentages.  I don't look at shit like that because if I did, I wouldn't have bet Oklahoma State Saturday.

Zona seems like they are starting to peek right...they've looked pretty good.  I'm going to really look at this game tonight.

Well everyone is all excited about Alex Smith, and they shouldn't be.  Its not like Houston game planned for him, Houston seemed like they had let off the gas anyway.  They were really sticking it to the 9ers.  Which I admit I got lucky to push that game.

Agreed on Zona.  They match up really well against Carolina - great rush D to stop D-Will and Stewart, improving secondary that will get at least 2 gifts from Delhomme, passing game looking a lot better.

Warner is clicking...Boldin is really good.  I like Boldin more than Fitzgerald for some reason always have.  I'm going to look at this game tonight, because if I'm playing Zona I want to get it before it gets any higher.  I'll let you know how I feel about matchups.

Yeah, that Houston/SF game was much more lopsided than the final score indicated.  I'm not sure if the problem is with Gore's injury, or if they just fell behind too quickly, but for Houston's defense to take SF's best offensive weapon out of the game so quickly...that doesn't bode well against a team that can score quick, and score in bunches.

Thinking about the BILLS ....Ryan Fitzpatrick really sucks bad but damn he moves the ball and keeps the defense fresh.  Changing field position is a big key in the NFL.  Houston's pass rush will fly by and Fitzy can just take off and pick up 8 or 9 yards.  Plus Andre is hurt...Bruised Lung or something, I don't know how serious that is.  Day to Day I guess. 

If the Bills can avoid 3 and outs then the their defense will be much better....but again I don't know .  Wish I could get about 4.5

I can't say that, because they do play 2 halfs of football.  You can really tell when a team lets up...which I hate because the fucking Bengals do it all the time.  They didn't Sunday though they stayed on the pedal.  Colts can score in bunches.  I think this game really depends on the 49ers offense.  Because we know the Colts will score 3+ TDS.  So if you base it on that 21-9 would have to be the final score.  So I think if you look at it like that you can kinda assume how the game will go.  49ers defense has looked fairly decent at times.  Singletary is a hard ass.  Total is 44 so Vegas expects a score of something like 28-16
