I like Detroit but I took the points.

Jets

EGGY6199 · 10-04-07, 02:52 AM

I think the Lions, Falcons and Fins can all win.

I will play all on the points with small plays.

Lions: The Skins can be passed on late I see the Lions coming back from behind as they seem able to do. (I am skins Fan)

Falcons: This is a good match up for the Falcon. Will Joey have a big day?

Fins: Again a good match up. Houston also have some key injuries. May play the ML but its on Green again.

rams

MJFtheGenius · 10-04-07, 06:28 PM

Yea redskins will cover.

tblues2005 · 10-04-07, 07:06 PM

last year all the favorites won the game, I don't see a big upset this week because all the lines here make sense, the only upset I consider which shouldn't be an upset is the Rams over Arizona because of the new QB could make a difference, he is much healthier than Bulger is, so I wouldn't be surprised if the Rams did pull that game out, but I am sure not betting on that game this week.

I agree. STL Has it's best chance at a win this week.

Also considering NO (Favored), MIA, SEA, and KC.

GL to ALL.

laxdjock · 10-05-07, 04:50 PM

Dallas covers, but DET seems like a worthy ML pick.

EaglesPhan36 · 10-05-07, 05:57 PM

ML - Lions, Bears, Seahawks

onlooker · 10-05-07, 06:07 PM

Chiefs upset again. ML +115.

Wolfpack · 10-05-07, 06:10 PM

Good pick onlooker. I'm leaning that way as well.

swifty · 10-06-07, 07:32 AM

redskins will win, with yo on the KC onlooker.

B1GER1C828 · 10-06-07, 07:47 AM

The only thing the Lions really have going for them is Kitna & momentum. Redskins are a complete team, even if they've got an inexperienced QB. Redskins are rested and always improving. I think the Redskins "brain trust" of coaches have got a good game plan to take advantage of the various holes on the Lions team. The Redskins are much better than Minny or Chicago, or Oakland when the Lions played them. Lions are 3-1 after beating on some vulnerable teams. Redskins are not that.

Conclusion: Bet the Skins -3 1/2 unless you're drinking the "Jon Kitna 10-wins" Kool-Aid.

eglickman · 10-06-07, 11:24 AM

Both teams are evenly matched..it could go either way, especially with a 3.5 line..stay away from this game.

Redskins are the farthest thing from a complete team. Complete teams don't blow big leads at home in the 2nd half. Complete teams don't need OT to barely beat one of the worst teams (Miami) at home. Portis is still banged up. Moss is likely out. That means the game could be on Campbell's shoulders. I'll take my chances with the better offense in Detroit.

This week I think Detroit pulls off the upset.

Ok that's not a very big dog so here it is - I also think Tampa has a chance of beating Indy.

Detroit all the way!!! Go lions!!

swifty · 10-06-07, 04:42 PM

Washington's stop unit is one of the league's finest. More importantly, they're actually healthy. Kitna should be able to score 17-24 points, but I don't think he'll get anything more, considering that the Redskins are capable of getting to the quarterback (seven sacks in three games) and containing aerial attacks (they give up 217 passing yards per contest.)

I don't think we can take away anything that Detroit's defense did to the Bears last week. Brian Griese sucks; Cedric Benson is a fat bum; and Chicago's offensive line is old and slow. Instead, I feel it is more important to study Philadelphia's performance; the Eagles' offense, which has been mediocre at best in three of their four games, somehow put up 56 points against the Lions. In that contest, Brian Westbrook and Correll Buckhalter trampled Detroit's defensive front at seven yards per carry. Donovan McNabb, meanwhile, threw four touchdowns and just five incompletions. Clinton Portis and Ladell Betts will pummel the Lions' sub-par front seven, setting up play-action opportunities for Jason Campbell. I don't think anyone in Detroit's secondary can keep up with Santana Moss, Antwaan Randle El and Chris Cooley.

Tough game to pick. On one hand, I hate laying 3.5, especially with an offense that isn't exactly lethal. On the other hand, I don't really trust the Lions to select them as a short road dog against a very solid squad. With the public backing the underdog, I'll take the favorite, although I'm lacking any sort of conviction

Prediction:
Redskins 31, Lions 24
Redskins -3.5 (1 Unit) TD Washington
Over 46.5 (1 Unit)
