So I ended up being wrong on the Packers vs Cowboys game! All you sports betting freaks out there know it’s time for a little comeback this Sunday. The game did come pretty close to my totals prediction though and although he wasn’t playing very well at the beginning, Favre would have made a great comeback in the second half had he been healthy. I just don’t know what McCarthey was thinking with his play calling in the 1st and 2nd quarters. Too much bombs away and not enough of the short passing game that had been so successful for them the entire year. Oh well, it’s on to the Sunday Games!
Money Picks
1. Seahawks +3 @ Eagles
Just because the Eagles stayed with the Pats last Sunday Night doesn’t mean they’ve turned the corner as a team. They still have huge problems in the secondary and that was a once in a lifetime performance for A.J. Feeley. The Seahawks are playing up to their potential right now and I gotta feeling old Alexander just might want to show the NFL he’s still around. Baldy Matt will get it done in the 4th quarter so…
TAKE THE SEAHAWKS +3
2. Bucs +3 @ Saints
We still don’t know if Jeff Garcia is going to be able to play in this game due to his sore back. It’s sounding like he won’t and even if he does he’s not going to have the mobility that is his trademark. Luke McCown isn’t going to get it done and neither will Gradkowski. This is a MUST WIN Game for the Saints unless they want to start making travel plans for 2008.
TAKE THE SAINTS -3
3. Browns +1 @ Cardinals
The JV Patriots come into the Crazy Desert for a showdown with the inconsistent Cards. Boy did they blow that game last week against the 49ers. They are going to be missing S Adrian Wilson, which is a huge blow to their Defensive backend. He is to the Cards what Rodney Harrison is to the Patriots. They both bring the intensity and leadership that you just can’t measure on paper. The Browns have too many weapons for the Cards to handle and if they don’t drink the desert water on Saturday Night they will come out on top by a touchdown.
TAKE THE BROWNS +1
4. Jaguars +6.5 @ Colts
This game should be a good one with 1st place in the AFC South on the line. The Jags have been one of the most consistent teams in the league this year and Jack Del Rio would love to avenge that Monday Night Loss to the Colts earlier this year. The Colts are starting to get healthy again though and Peyton is due for a HUGE GAME. Hell, he watched how bad his brother played last week and figures somebody better uphold the Manning Name. This game will be close for 3 quarters and then I think Manning will put up some fast points and the Colts…
TAKE THE COLTS -6.5. If you see them at -7 either buy down the 1/2 point or PASS on this bet. They are -6.5 right now on betonline
5. Broncos -3.5 @ Raiders
The Broncos are in a Must Win situation going against another McCown, this time Josh. Why don’t we see the McCown Father all over TV like we do Archie Manning? Can anybody tell me where these kids came from? The Raiders can run the ball and the Broncos sure as hell can’t defend the run, but Shanahan will load up the box on these guys and make Josh beat them deep. We all know that’s not going to happen so here’s to Cutler having a great day and maybe we’ll finally get to see an appearance by Jamarcus Russell.
TAKE THE BRONCOS -3. Buy down the 1/2 point or take a risk with the -3.5 line. I really believe the Broncos will win this by a touchdown, but I tend to get a little conservative when I see that HOOK sitting there on a 3 point line, especially in a divisional rivalry game.
THE REST OF THE BUNCH
1. Falcons +3 @ Rams
Does anybody really care about this game outside Atlanta and St. Louis? They are both playing for next year or draft picks in 2008. The Rams have a healthy Stephen Jackson and the Falcons have Joey Harrington.
TAKE THE RAMS -3
2. Bills +6 @ Redskins
I’m not going to sanction Betting on This Game due to the tragedy of Sean Taylor’s Death. I hope the Redskins are able to come out and play well for their fallen teammate. It is going to be an emotional roller coaster for that organization over the next 48 hours. I wish them the best and my thoughts go out to the Taylor Family and the Redskin organization in their time of grief.
3. Lions +4 @ Vikings
Well it doesn’t look so hot for the Lions anymore does it Detroit Fans. I’ve been waiting for the clock to strike midnight on you guys. The Vikings are starting to get more and more Big Plays on Defense and T-Jack is playing better at QB. I just hope ‘Purple Jesus’ stays healthy tomorrow, we’re going to need him over the next decade. Kitna will get sacked at least 5 times tomorrow and the psychic friends network can wait another year until they hire ole Jonny Kitna.
TAKE THE VIKINGS -4
4. Texans +3.5 @ Titans
The Titans better get it going or a season that was looking pretty good only 3 weeks ago will be over faster than Pacman Jones can throw dollars at a stripper. It sounds like they are going to finally get Albert Haynesworth back tomorrow which should shore up their D-Line. The Texans can score quickly if Matt Schaub gets a little time so this game should be close. In the end Vince Young will make a play to save the season for the Titans!
TAKE THE TITANS -3.5
5. Jets +1.5 @ Dolphins
I really don’t have much to say about this game other than hopefully in a couple of years the 2 young QB’s in this game, John Beck for the Dolphins and Kellen Clemens for the Jets will be playing for a whole lot more than they will be on Sunday. The Mormon will get his first win…
TAKE THE DOLPHINS -1.5
6. Chargers -6 @ Chiefs
The Chargers never play well in Arrowhead stadium and now they have to do it with the dreaded Norv Turner STD. You at least get to take the Chiefs on with Damon Huard as their starting QB. The Chargers have been looking good on offense lately and the Chiefs couldn’t score if you gave them a bottle of tequila and a naked Britney Spears!
TAKE THE CHARGERS -6
7. 49ers +3 @ Panthers
The 49ers just might start making a little late season run here. I’m kidding! They did show some flashes of the team they were supposed to be last week in Arizona. If Frank Gore runs around like he did last week they will walk away with this game. The Panthers are just brutal right now and have yet to Win a Home game this year.
TAKE THE 49ERS +3
8. Giants -1.5 @ Bears
I sure hope for Eli’s sake that he has somewhat of a good game or else the N.Y. Post might just throw rocks at his car or some crazy shit! The Bears counter with Sexy Rexy. Man, if you could be a fly on the wall in the Dive Bars of Chicago and NYC tomorrow late afternoon! I would love to hear some of the Drunken Poems that come out of the mouths of die hard fans who have $100 bucks on either of these two QB’s! In the end I think the Giants pass rush will get to Rex, but then Devin Hester will probably find a way to score as a wide receiver since the Giants surely are smart enough to not kick it to him, right? You see where I’m going with this? Just watch this game and all the soap opera aspects to it without having to sweat the money, okay!
TAKE THE GIANTS -1.5. Only if you are a true Gambling Junkie should you play this game. It’s just too crazy!
9. Bengals +7 @ Steelers
The Bengals are starting to play much better as of late. Getting WR Chris Henry back has helped along with Chad Johnson finally finding the endzone again. I think this game will be close, but in the end I like the ability of the Steelers to run against a really mediocre linebacking crew of the Bengals.
TAKE THE STEELERS -7
So there you have it sports betting junkies. I’ll give you my Monday Night Pick on Monday afternoon. Have a great Sunday and we’ll talk soon!
