Welcome back to the fun farm Big D!!!  Have fun with all that paperwork......I hate coming back from vacation.......but then again.......you live in vacation town, USA!!!!  It probably feels like a vacation day every morning you walk out the door........until you hit work!

Week 3: Kansas City (-3) v. Minnesota - Won 13-10
Week 3: Oakland (-3) v. Cleveland - Won 26-24
Week 3: Philadelphia (-3) v. Detroit - Won 56-21
Week 4: Miami (-3.5) v. Oakland - Lost 35-17 (3 losses/Bye)
Week 4: San Diego (-12) v. Kansas City - Lost 30-16
Week 5: Houston (-4.5) v. Miami - Won 22-19
Week 5: New Orleans (-3.5) v. Carolina - Lost 16-13 (3/Bye)
Week 6: Cincinnati (-1) at Kansas City - Lost 27-20 (3 losses)
Week 7: Seattle (-9) v. St. Louis - Won 33-6
Week 8: Jets (-3) v. Buffalo - Lost 13-3 (4 losses)
Week 9: Oakland (-3) v. Houston - Lost 24-17 (3 losses)
Week 9: Atlanta (-3.5) v. San Francisco - Won 20-16 (3/Bye)

I would do a write up in this one but basically following a trend and my friends know I just got back from vacation and got all kinds of paperwork to catch up with at work.
 
 
Washington at the half -2
 
Aloha and good luck to all

Merry Christmas to you and yours, my friend....Welcome back! Sure I speak for everyone when I say WE MISSED YOU!

Haven't picked a side yet in this one, but I like the under....I'll post my play in a bit.

(Interesting) Seems like the Bears have the Edge Tonite.
With Skins having one practice, Travel all that witch I'm sure yourall awhere of. yes all the money is on DaBears.
Just like last week when all the $$$ was on da Skins ov BUF.(house won) 
(As If, Emotions wins games?maybe, (not last wk:)
Now, every-one jumps off da skins. (Why one game) 
Back to the Edge, if Bears have the edge and all the Money is on them,
WHY, Is Skins the Fav.?
with most ofthe $$$ on Bears
Why, hasn't the line Moved.  ?
another example, the house isn't nervious, (Holding all thatBears $$$) So Why Should I. maybe the line will go up. Then you really have to (wounder) and Bet The Skins BIG)
As for now regular amount on the skins. best to buy it down to 2'
The Total is Iffy, seems like an over play, but some snow and the travel, not to sure, maybe best to skip it or play 1/2 Reg. amount on the public choice. Since public is usually right on one side.  
Best Of Luck!

I feel the pressure now, Obes...hope it comes through for us!  Very few of us like the home team tonight!

The total went from 37.5 to 40 in a single day at my place...lots of late money on the over...they also have the Skins -1 at the half and I will roll with big daddy on this one (now the pressure is on you! - LOL!)..

Good luck everyone!

Well, the Patriots screwed baby Gracie out of her new shoes but the going over the total gave us another opportunity.  The food stamps will buy the ham for Christmas and WIC has the milk and cheese. 
 
Baby Gracie hasn't had a new pair of shoes in a year.  So, for baby Gracie definetly blinked twice for the Bears.  Therefore we are taking the Bears +3.5 buying the half point at Double Juice. 
 
Please Bears cover for baby Gracie new Hanna Montana Shoes.

Also added Skins -1.5.  I like to have an even amount of wagers in a day for insurance.

Long time reader...first time posting.  Neither team's defense have been all that impressive this year.  Both defenses give up 23 ppg...Couple that with the fact that they're coming off a short week...I think the OVER is gonna pull...

No side???   The Bears have a top secret shock the world game plan which envolves Devin Hester, Hester will leave the Skins in total and complete chaos.  They will be looking around trying to figure out what the heck hit them.
 
 
Go BEARS all the way for Baby Gracie's Shoes.  A dime on the Bears....

FACE FACTS JASON CAMPBELL CAN'T THROW UP AND THE SKINS DEFENSE COULDN'T SACK GROCERY'S. CLINTON PORTIS AND IN MY BOOK COOLEY AND MOSS ARE THE BEST THEY HAVE BUT THEY WON'T WIN THE GAME FOR THEM. MAKE MONEY CHICAGO +3

Hey fella's.... just a little more to think about.
The whole Skins team glew down to Miami for Sean Taylor's funeral on Monday.....
This basically tells you they have had ZERO preparation for the Bears.
Short weeks for both teams.....
But a MUCH MUCH shorter week for the Skins.... Also who knows where their minds are, coming off a death of a teammate and a last second disappointing loss at Home.
You gotta roll with the Bears +3

Oh, my gosh baby gracie just said her first word!!!   She was listening to the NFL Network with me in my arms and Deion Sanders was talking about whether or not the skins will kick to Hester.  Baby Gracie said Hester......   That's gotta be a sign...

This is a must win game for both teams and my early lean was on the Bears +3 until i saw Scorps take on it. He pointed out some good points and got me thinking.
The Bears defense hasnt been as stout as they were in the last couple of years and has struggled against the run. As for their offense, I dont know if i can trust R.Grossman on the road and their running game hasnt been that great either. The only threat that they really have is of course, D.Hester but the Skins just wont kick the ball in his direction. He also dropped a WIDE OPEN pass last week that probably wouldve got me a win. 
As for the Redskins, coming of a loss and going through what they have been through recently, I think that they bounce back strong here at home. C.Portis was banged up last week but will play and should be able to to run on the Bears "D" like he has in the past which should set up some play action passes to S.Moss.
It should be cold but weather wont be a factor in this game.....
With that said, i'm going with my Cover friends Scorp and Obes and taking the Redskins -3 and the Over 37.5 for the game and also rolling with BigD on the Skins at the half...
 
BTW, welcome back BigD  
 
Good Luck 2 All
