Juiciest plays for Week 5 :

[EJandV]

Try this same title thread again : My Bears croaked at home to the Cowgirls the 1st time on this titled thread .

Titans - 8 = any team that has to rely on a te (Crump) like Vick did in the past so often and rolled a fat 0 , I take Tenn .
Jags = solid ? is 2007 , Chiefs still watching themselves on HBO . I like Jags .
Cards is sun morn looking better for away fav on the surface.
Skins -3 > is saturday am getting off of the Skins here .
Ravens -3 could the nfl be turned around this much ? good ?
Bears +3 > one more time (due) (Pack to turn lemon here )
under 46 in Colts game .
Cowboys over 44 > prediction 30 - 16

an early take subject to change .

Best 3 of these 7:
Skins - retract this play since key inj to wr may have adverse effects on offensive prod.
Ravens
Titans

Week 5 of 2006 all the favs won straight up ( 14- 0 ) .
Ats it was 9 - 3 favs got $ ( 2 pushes)

The 3 dogs that covered were :

Titans +19 ,18.5 ,18
Bucs +6 , 6.5 ,7
Browns +9 , 8.5 ,7.5

Who were the 3 lemon favs ?
(Colts) won by one pt at home vs Titans.
(Saints) won by only 3 at home to Bucs .
(Panthers) won by 8 at home to Browns , technically the Browns +9 covered but the line actually dropped down to 8.5 to 8 and stopped at 7.5 . funny style people tryed to trick me

Examining :

WEEK 5 of last year there were ONLY 2 ROAD FAVS . ( THIS YEAR IS > jags cards ravens and Cowboys on mon night .)
Lasy year at this time it was :
Rams -3 at Pack
Chiefs -3 at Cards .
both of those games were actually pushes going by the original spread of 3 .

So , it was big fav week in week 5 of 2006 right ?
What could be the biggest reason ?
Common sense would be that 12 of the 14 favs were PLAYING AT HOME . ( setting this nice fav day up )

That does not mean much you think ?
Well if we look at this past week in the NFL there were 9 AWAY FAVS ... ( results were 9 - 5 dogs day for week 4 ) (Pats snuck in there mon night to create a tiny bit more balance for the final #s) (could have been 10 - 4 dogs if Pats didnt show )
Anway ,Of course it means something ( it can very easily pan out the way of the favs because of this ( bounce here , break here , good call here , etc ...... )

Note : if the dogs kick a$$ again I will be almost as amazed as I was when Tyson bit my boys ear off or better than that when the guy flew into the rink by parachute (1993) . I was trippin my azzzzzz off .

CONCLUSION IF NOT CLEAR : 10 HOME FAVS TODAY CAN CREATE A GOOD FAV SHOWING FOR THE DAY <<<<<<<<<<< .

Titans -8 = lost by a pt
Jags = won
Cards = won
Ravens = won
Bears +3 ( due theory for both teams is the only reason) = won
under 46 in Colts game = lost by a pt
Dog in the rough : Dolphins +5 = win
Browns +16.5 : dogs doin so good why not back it = loss by half pt
Saints ( livin in the past here ?) = loss

Mon night : Cowboys over 44 = pending

hard to get a true (confident) read on chargers and da bears = not cool whatsoever . sniff sniff .

10 picks = 6 - 3 after 9 games
