Woodshed job is when you get whopped somethin fierce. The old thread had gotten packed with shit to the rafters so we had to start up some new-new thang right? Right. Well anyway I see some goodies for the week and here is where I'd like to go with my plays from what I have seen so far.
Thursday 8/27/09
The size of the line says it all for me. The Dolphins are the real deal and a force to be wreckoned with in the NFL. With this being the third week most of the regulars will play extended minutes. The Bucs are not in their league at this time as they are in full rebuild mode. This is the classic tale of two ships headed in opposite directions. The line indicates that the linemaker thinks that the Bucs aren't really a prohibitive favorite, and the truth is they really shouldn't be favored at all.
Dolphins+2.5
Friday 8/28/09
The Packers look to be able to both defend well and also score well when necessary. Aaron Rodgers is proving the naysayers wrong and excelling on the gridiron. The Cardinals are no slouch, but I do think that with Lienert seeing more time in this game the Packers will get a few picks or a few advantages in field position. Gotta roll with the sharp money on this game.
Green Bay+3
In what may turn into a laugher because of the coaching advantages the Patriots have, I suggest that this game be played early so as to get under the number. I don't anticipate Tom Terrific playing in the 2nd half, but it should be well over by then. I actually feel that the Redskins backup quarterback situation is better than the Patriots. So for this pick I am going with the Pats early. With there being a home dog in this game the rule of thumb is to roll with the under.
New England-2.5 1st half (Projected)
New England/Washington under 38
Saturday 8/29/09
The Panthers have no business being favored in this game. The Ravens defense is just as fast as their offense and more talented too. Any points given to the Ravens in this game are too many.
Ravens+3.5 -120 (Hook buy)
The Niners are getting a touchdown? No problem. I know what to do.
Niners+7
The Colts are going to play Peyton for the whole first half. A peek back at their previous results reflects that the Colts play their starters more in game 3, and as a result have a sterling 6-1 ats record.
Colts-2.5 1st half
Sunday 8/30/09
Broncos turn the tables on the Bears. End of story. I can't play against a winless team at home
Broncos-1
