    I like the Arizona -3 and Dallas -10 picks you guys made, especially Arizona. I'm done giving locks as 0-1-1 is a terrible start. I am up on the year though.

    I do like the Jets with the points. We're not a terrible team, and I still don't think the Giants are that good. I can see a high scoring game.

    I was thinking about taking the over (41) on that one.

    I'm posting my picks for the first time this year:

    5 picks:

    Saints vs Panthers UNDER 43.5
    The Saints have no offense; let me explain: The Colts game really opened my eyes. The Saints rely on the run to set up their passing game. The Colts used a 4-3, Tampa-2 system with a quick front seven to stop New Orleans' running game. The Panthers have a very quick, talented front seven. Duece is out, and thus there will be no running game. Since Carr is in for Delhomme, I think we have a sloppy, field position game.

    Steelers - 6.5
    A lot of people like the Seahawks with the points. I think the Steelers had a bad game last week. They will play physical football and dominate at home.

    Lions - Money Line
    Santanna Moss could be out. Washington just isn't that good. The Lions' offense has been on a roll. If their defense can keep Washington in check, I think they win outright.

    Team prop - Jets OVER 19
    Being a lifelong Jet fan (which isn't that long) my gut tells me that we'll come out explosive against a rival. Our offense sucked against Baltimore and New England because they have a good defense. Our offense sucked against Buffalo because for some reason we always suck in Buffalo. The Giants have a swiss cheese defense. I think the intensity of this game, coupled with Chad being one week healthier, will allow us to score over 19 points.

    Teaser
    Pats -4
    Jets vs Giants OVER 27.5
    Colts +3
    Chargers vs Broncos OVER 30


    Its a teaser. Most likely someone ****s up, but I think I'll be ok.

    Those are my picks. I hope I'm not crying Sunday night.

    Won 3 out of 4. The teaser is looking good - the Colts already have 13 points, and the Chargers already scored 14 points in the first quarter.

    life stinks for me so far -- 0-2 and needing the hated Cowboys to get me in the win column -- The Saints are a total disappointment -- Baltimore burns me again -- it is to laugh

    Okay, the Jets pick turned out bad.

    The other pick was golden considering the fact I picked the Ravens to win the game outright.

    Overall, I am 10-2 straight up and 5-7 against the spread.

    This is now two weeks in a row where I want head-to-head against several of you guys and turned out to be correct.
    Last week it was the Texans-Falcons game.

    I am not into teasers. I don't know much about them nor do I truly care. But anyway, Colts +3?

    Yeah, I got 13 points to add to each game. Pays out around .85 of every dollar so I bet a bit more on the teaser. I usually like to take 3 or 4 teams (usually heavy favorites or dogs) and tease their lines.

    Anyways, I went 4 for 5 this week. Went 4 for 7 in college football.

    Again, I have an up day sports betting (granted, college football was another issue...), and I have a crappy day with this.
