I just think the whole RG III mania has gotten a bit out of hand and Vegas is starting to figure that out with this line. I am sure coach Harbaugh and his defense watched the game on Monday night and listened to John Gruden cup RG III's nuts the entire game. And after losing to the hated Steelers last week, I think Baltimore comes out a very angry and their defense comes out lke a pack of wild dogs this Sunday. I think they're pissed that their record stands at 9-3 and they are being completely dismissed as contenders. I'm sure as hell not ready to bet a 9-3 team is going to lose back-to-back games.
Further, let's take a look how the Skins have fared against the AFC North. They lost at home 38-31 to the Bengals, and got absolutely dominated by the Steelers at Heinz field. Don't think for a second that Baltimore doesn't know that. They will soak up the film and be prepared. While their defense isn't as stout as it used to be, they still have some decent players that will have the discipline not to get gashed like the Giants did on Monday night.
I also think Flacco will be able to stretch the field on this secondary. One thing I noticed from Monday is that Eli was really close to connecting on a couple deep balls. Say what you want about Flacco, but the guy has a live arm and a great deep ball. Wouldn't surprise me at all if he put up some numbers. And of course, we can't forget about hey diddle-diddle Ray Rice up the middle.
My final point is that the Redskins aren't the only team fighting for a playoff spot. The Ravens would clinch a playoff birth with a win and the division with 2 more wins. Don't think for a second that they don't want this game too. I will take the measly 2 points and hope that Harbaugh and his resilient Ravens get the job done. 
Good luck


I fuckin love this guy!!  Great insight, always a pleasure reading your analysis.

How about that dropped pass in the endzone?

People remember the Redskins Thanksgiving and Monday night national tv games so everyone is on them. Redskins will be the parlay busters this week.

RG3 is now the new wildcat until the defense catches up and they always do. That's why any new rule changes always favor the offense.

BTW, this type of offense is what killed Army against Navy, ball, ball who has the ball?
Good teams win games, Great teams cover the spread!

      Time   Out

Thankfully, more than ever ,these threads gives opportune to sort out fakes from pros with results and intelligible insight speaking for themselves .
However there must certainly be a kiddy park section amongst Covers list for chronic losers seeking  
? "Playpen" ?
to
? " Boohoohoo" ?
As for this game related posts ,fascinates that none mentions obvious and crucial fact that Ravens D is amongst one of NFL's Oldest Units veritably showing significant signs of wear from age n' Injuries :  LB Sugs,Bynes,Ellerbe n' Lewis making things much worse facing 3 headed Shanahan Dragon attack that Ravens are all NOT so familiar with.
Highlighting  end of season ,wear and tear was Ravens inexplicable loss @ home , gettin' Charlie Biatch slapped by most hated divisional Pburg rival.
Hum . . .
So battered n' bruised ,in more ways than one , ready n' focused on the road ( where Ravens can blow ) vs 
non divisional foe 
?    ?
Two teams going in opposite directions,one certain to make playoffs having shot it's early season load while other fights for Playoff spot ,obviously showing high stride signs at top 
of stretch,riding  HIGH stride after  tri-sweep of Division foes.

 Shanahan's Skins have masterfully put  pieces together during DC break n' results are paying off.
True , Blues O was flagged down @ most inopportune times.
However there is little doubt that Skins D stock , FAR from perfect ,has risen considerably limiting last 3 foes to scoring Mid  T' s
Unfortunately for Balty, they are showing age and perhaps worst ,must play with severe losing indigestion being unable
 ( once again) to throw KO punch @ home vs vulnerable n' hated rivals , led by 3 rd generation string QB.
That  Hurts
Red Flag goes if Skins Can't pressure Flacco.
More than capable to pick Skins secondary apart ,
However , little Skin rattle n' off Flacco goes like a deer stuck n' phucked in DC headlights.

SKINS 35 RAVENS 19
BOLA
Hate to say this. . . Perhaps a bad Blue dream.
Read all about it tomorrow :

3 way NFC East Tie

The following is Teddy Cover's free pick write up, which in my opinion is pretty solid. Im still leaning Baltimore, but definitely not with the same conviction that I had earlier in the week.  Good luck

Baltimore has been an extremely lucky team all year.  And 'lucky' is the appropriate word -- a 4th and 29 conversion at San Diego isn't an example of 'good offensive football'.  A win at Pittsburgh where the offense didn't score a TD isn't good offensive football either.

The Ravens didn't score a TD in their win at KC either.  Against Dallas, they gave up more than 200 rushing yards and the Cowboys held possession for more than 40 minutes,  Baltimore still won, thanks to a missed two point conversion.  Against Cleveland, it was a 63 yard interception return touchdown that provided the seven point margin of victory.  

I could go on and on, but I think you get my point.  A Ravens team that is being priced like a 9-3 contender could easily be a 4-8 bottom feeder or a 6-6 mediocre team.  And after winning SEVEN straight  competitive games in which the game was tied or they trailed in the fourth quarter, the Steelers finally knocked the Ravens back to earth last Sunday, playing with a third string QB.  Baltimore is a paper tiger, and the Redskins are primed to catch them!

Washington, on the other hand, is coming on like a freight train down the stretch, reeling off three consecutive wins and covers following their own stretch of UNlucky football when they lost five times by a single score in the first nine games of the campaign.  RG3 is essentially unstoppable these days, the most dangerous dual threat QB in the league already as a rookie.  Their defense has stepped up and RB Alfred Morris is another legitimate rookie of the year candidate.  The Redskins are the better of these two teams right now, regardless of what the records say.  Asking them to win by a FG at home seems perfectly reasonable to this bettor!  Take the 'Skins.

I don't understand the love for RG3.  He won a low-scoring game last week despite throwing for only 160 yards and one TD.  And the other TD came when RG3 FUMBLED into the end zone.  Karma is gonna catch up with this guy.

 BALTIMORE -1

I agree, any given Sunday thing for sure!  Skins are playing good though, however the Ravens after that loss against the Steelers last week will be hungry.  Don't like the Ravens on the road but I don't see them losing 2 in a row either. Should be a interesting game to watch! 

Ravens +1 (office Pool only)

Karma does not " Catch up " while Karma signs are on rise.
Beyond Pigskin headed angles... 
Personal analysis : RG3 is incredibly mature n' humble for one his age , loaded with talented speed smarts.
 Signs are showing ,better n' beyond a Cam Newton type who lacks humility ,partially explaining 2012 Karma Bite back Cam is going thru.
2012 RG3 Real deal indeed..2013 remains to be seen.

Do some homework friend and come back to me.
You're new ,dont expect you to understand.

For past years , same  BS unfortunately saturates this here NFL  forum .
Finding it comically absurd , Have taken little time it takes to jot down weekly picks  to expose play pen types typing off bogus points and results while using multiple avatars for self stroke purposes.

Take pen and paper ,add it up for yourself if you must.
You will soon be able to sort between winners and losers.
It's all about making money .
 Picks,points and money management.
Covers contests does not reflect picks in this forum.
However since you are using a contest section as referral and since we are here to make money ,you should then tally up total units combined from all the football related contests in page you gazed upon.
What do you see ?  Big Time.

As far as this forum stands it is what it is : 78 - 88 - 4

I think this is a classic letdown game for the Skins.  Gotta go with the Ravens here.  They are the better team, AND i'm getting points.

You continue to distort my record for you & the amusement of a few other clowns that enjoy bashing        people efforts. Your rantings & ravings don't amount to a "hill of beans".  I post games where I consider  (just like you), where I have a valid opinion after doing my research. As far as I know, like  Redstick stated, the only "official" record on Covers is on their contest. I have maintained, an RSI in the NFL between 1/2 to 1 1/2 red stars all season long. Most people know I try very hard to put out a good handicapped selection. Actually I bet a few games each week, (only pro football), and the money I make is good enough to supplement my retirement income. Thanks to the bashing by you & others, I achieved more notoriety on these threads, than I could possibly imagine!

Distortion ?  

In fact being used to your BS year after year ,I have kept track of your posted picks on this forum .
However if notoriety is your thing as it appears to be ,would be a pleasure to post your posted picks / record once again from  week 1 till week 14. 
Your call Vue...

About Your Stars ? LoL...For entertainments sake ,one should check out your past posts to  find you whining n' crying for your missing stars ...." Boohoo Boohoo " ???

No distortion needed Vue, just puzzled ,trying to figure out if you were born a Bumbling Buffon or just becoming senile .
63 years old ? Find that hard to believe ,less you be one of them Red Necks from cast of Deliverance.

Hummm...Do hear Banjo music ...That you Vue ? LoL

" That enjoy bashing  people efforts " ? See what I mean ...

No distortion needed...

# 1 take a grammar course .

# 2 Take that corn on the cob out of your nose ,let that bloated air out , because you 're not  " The people".

Mine attention goes only to you since you're obviously the only clown in this forum doing best picking his nose than football games.



My whole hearted
