    I have to pick one game to play using the moneyline this week. I really can't pick one. The only one I am thinkin is San Fran vs. Chiefs. I am looking for a game where I can bet a little and win more. I'm not making a large bet at all so it has to be worth it.

    Patriots +210
    Lions + 200
    Cardinals +280
    Titans +375
    Could aso always take the Jets at +350

    Patriots and cardinals seem best to me, along with SF

    I don't think there is any way Seattle is going to win, really. That's my fave pick ATS this week.

    Chicago struggled against Minnesota.
    Seattle dominated the Giants.

    One of those is more impressive than the other. And even without Shaun Alexander, those Wide Receivers and Tight Ends are tough to stop. Not to mention their defensive is top notch also. Guarantee Grossman gives up more turnovers than Hasselbeck.

    Ummm...what? So you're saying that since Seattle played better than Chicago last week, Seattle will win?

    I hate to break it to you, but the game is in Soldier Field, which makes a HUGE difference. Chicago was on the road last week. Seattle was at home, with Shaun Alexander playing.

    Yeah I was wrong but if you put equal weights on both bets there was a net gain.

    Pretty good also considering I think there was only two underdogs who won and I got one of them.

    only dogs I liked to win outright were Washington and Oakland. Only one won anyway. So it wouldn't have helped to post them.

    But the pick I posted here, although not an underdog, did work out.

    Yeah but the point of the thread was to pick an underdog with the moneyline because he wanted to bet a little and win a lot.

    In the TGG pool I only took one underdog- Washington.

    In a Yahoo league (no spreads) I took only one underdog- Baltimore.

    With the lines, it was a no-brainer. I took the two teams that play in Maryland because they were getting points.

    Here I took San Diego, there I took Jacksonville. All my other picks were identical so I went 10-3 in each pool. Still waiting on Eagles game (they lead 31-9 in the 4th quarter).

    the Baltimore line dropped throughout the week. I saw it initially at SD (-2.5) and then I saw it Sunday morning at PK.

    Yeah, both teams getting points at home.
