week 7: Best bets you can find so you'd better pound them

[GoldGlove]

• Bears ML @ Redskins -103
• Bengals @ Lions over 47 -101
• Texans +6.5 @ Chiefs -103

Just take them all, you'll have a 2-1 day at worst.

Let's get a

[rainman993]

can't trust the Texans, they have a 3rd stringer at QB

[GoldGlove]

Precisely. He won't be worse than Schaub.

[rainman993]

True, maybe Arian Foster will have a great game. Chiefs have a badrun D anyway

[thebestthereis]

Precisely. He won't be worse than Schaub.

he needs to mix in a pick 6 to keep up tradition. I still like the Texans here in a defensive game.

[slacker00]

Precisely. He won't be worse than Schaub.

Good point. Texans confuse me right now. But I'm on the Bears with ya and the other one looks reasonable too. GL!

[Time is Money]

Texans run D is even worse and Charles is a better back than Foster. Chiefs team is first in the league in INT's, INT TDs and Sacks, you can't run the ball every down and that boy is gonna get rattled and turn the ball over at least once. Other side of the ball, Smith is a vet that knows what throws to make and what ones to just throw away and get back in the huddle. Chiefs at home get it done and cover.

Thank you for responding with a sensible explanation. Couldn't have said it better myself. Chiefs will win by two scores. They will lose a game soon, but not against the texans.

I wouldn't be too certain about bengals covering on detroit either...

[GoldGlove]

The Chiefs will struggle to score big time.

Yeah I don't get this play at all. KC is at home, undefeated and has been playing great. Houston has a great D, but hasn't been playing well they are on the road, and have a new QB that hasn't played a game all year???

I hope I'm not the only one on KC..

[LGHT]

Possibly, but they only need 1

[Mako-SBR]

Anyone even remotely thinking about taking the Texans with their multitude of issues (Schaub is just a SMALL part of that team's issues) against a dominant defense at home needs to check their medication levels.

Chicago is a solid pick, anyone who watched RG3 airmail all those WRs against Dallas knows they're a team in trouble. Bengals/Detroit is a toss-up, that one could easily go either way. Far from a lock unfortunately.

So one out of three OP, sorry.

[GoldGlove]

If Kansas would've been so great, TRUST me, the line would be AT LEAST 7.

Kansas has a dominant D indeed, but the line tells you everything you need to know bro. Houston is a mess, KC is 6-0, you don't think the average joe thinks exactly just like you? And still you'll lose.

3-0 man, don't fade me or else you'll have a bad day tomorrow.

[Eddy Munny]

I lean Texans too. I've watched the Chiefs fight tooth and nail the past two weeks against mediocre competition before pulling away and padding the final score in both. Keenum may be a 3rd stringer, but you have to start from somewhere. If he can just avoid throwing a touchdown pass to the wrong team on Sunday, it represents an immediate upgrade from Schaub.

Thanks bro, let's cash this one.

Agree with the KC critiques, no fan of that awful "game-manager" offense and the OG clock-mismanaging-assassin Reid, hell even ridiculous Dallas could have won their game there if LB Cutler doesn't drop an easy unopposed pick-6 INT...but the public has been right over 50% this season ATS to date...actually close to 53% as of right now, and they'll be right on this one as well.

Also will be right on Denver, unfortunately.

The "sharp" money may yet have a comeback in the second half of the season, but as the Seahawks proved on TNF (where the vast majority of "sharp" money and sharp-tail-happy SBR forum posters' money was on AZ), the public saw AZ's QB/WR situation heading into the league's best secondary as the farce it wound up being.

The same applies for this game, with a third-stringer getting his first start and a suddenly old/broken Andre Johnson not contributing significantly. As for Foster, uh, yeah, I don't think a 6-7 man box with four recent pro-bowlers in it on every play is going to make his life any easier either...

KC won't go 16-0, and they won't continue their ATS streak as it stands now, but this isn't the week either end.

Last I checked, nobody from that Seahawks-Cards game you speak of will be suiting up for the Chiefs-Texans. I'll keep you posted if this changes though.

Last I checked, you, and 75% of the rest of the board, took AZ alllllll week because you were just so sharp sharp sharp. How'd that work out?

Nearly an identical scenario in this game, with a nearly identical same result coming.

[Eddy Munny]

When did I mention anything about the Cards? You just taking a stab in the dark? Thought so moron.

You are not the only one. I put KC in a teaser but there is no way in hell I would trust the Texans to cover in this spot. Anything is possible but it just seems to me that KC has a winning attitude at the moment while the Texans are in disarray.

[mcgeezer1883]

A 3rd string QB starting his first game in arrowhead against the undefeated Cheifs?

[psych]

Imma Chief.

[GoldGlove]

Oh yeah, 3rd string QB, undefeated Chiefs at home, and still the line moved down to 6. Go ahead and take KC, feel free to come back after the game and say sorry GG, should've listened to you.

[Fred The Hammer]

I LOVE Bengals/Lions Over 46.5 myself!! Big receivers....great weapons out of the backfield in Bush and Bernard on a fast track. Bears @ Lions was 40-32 a few weeks back. Cincy's D just got burned by a no name rookie last week....not as good as advertised. I lean Houston too....prob tease it if goes up at all to 14. Its not like KC has a high powered offense....Alex Smith prob throws the ball downfield less than any QB in the game. Case Keenum might do ok....give them someone to rally around. Lean Washington though....Alfred Morris might go for 150 on that beat up Bears D-line. Cutler will light them up too though....laying off this one too.

2-1 at worst? Which one is the possible loss?

[GoldGlove]

Maybe the Bears.

BOL to everyone!

Love it how many posters are on the Chiefs

Bears up 10-3, 14 pts in the 1st Q at Detroit. So far, so good.

If not for Chicago's inept D, this would've been a 3-0 day easy.

LMAO at the squares who took Kansas.
