i could see myself making plays on some of those picks except the browns, seattle, and packers... the packers could get upset next week in chicago ... everyone and their mother is gonna be on the packers on monday night football much like the saints tonight... and we know what happened there..

i wouldnt play seattle because they are such an aweful team, i dont see homefield being enough for seattle this week... and the ravens are gonna wanna prove a point after their tough loss this week and the browns will be on the road...

Bears are playin pissed off. i love CHI+ at home!!!

Alexgurv · 09-21-10, 10:14 AM

chooper rock - Thanks I usually dont play totals because it doesn't go well for me

uanl - Agree with you on the bears and I love them on MNF. About the seahawks, not too sure if I'm gonna play them but its worth mentioning they are a horrible road team and much better at home.

chopperocker · 09-21-10, 01:31 PM

seahawks/chargers is not an easy call. window is closing for chargers and seahaweks are in a rebuild. so im thinkin' chargers but not real confident either

mister king has a week three winless teams game goin' over the total & i heard teddy c. say the sharps hit it hard monday a.m. so get in quick before the squares figure it out and move the line.

Falcons +4 to win 1 unit

Saints arent playing the same way they were playing last season. The offense looks conservative other then there last drive against the 49ers. The defense can't keep getting lucky and having turnovers fall in there hands. Matt Ryan looked better last week then he did in Week 1. The running game is worrysome with Turner, but he is probable for sunday. I think that Bush being out could truly also affect the way the Saints play. Good luck

Cowboys +3 (-130) to win 1 unit

Bought half a point just in case, but I think with jobs on the line and what looks to be a weakness in the Houston defense we should see the Cowboys finally get there running game and hopefully Romo going. GL

I like your Atlanta pick, BOL with it.

******* tossers the Saints are, but they deserved to lose. Juiced out for Week 2.

Leans for Week Three

Browns +11
Cowboys +2.5
Seahawks +5.5
Dolphins -1

Opinions and insight appreciated

Alexgurv · 09-23-10, 01:21 AM

GL to you guys. Think I'm 100% laying off the Browns now though. Dolphins is a pretty strong lean at this point though, gotta look at it more

BustedPretext · 09-23-10, 02:58 AM

Leaning MIA as well. Not gonna bet Dallas out of hatred, but looks like very good value at +3 vs what I'm expecting is a super complacent Houston. They just beat their all time franchise rival and defending AFC Champs, then had a heroic 17 pt comeback/OT win. Tough to get focused on this week vs team with similar talent. Ware is healthy and Houston (who has been known for being unable to protect the QB) is minus their starting LT. Schuab won't pass for 5 bills this Sunday.

Alexgurv · 09-24-10, 11:38 PM

Thanks Busted Pretest, thats some good stuff...pulling the trigger on that Phins pick

Dolphins -1 to win 1 unit

I mean they can't win right? Revis is out. Edwards is a dick. Sanchez sucks. Dolphins have been playing there rocks off. There at home. Its a Sunday Night game in primetime. I just don't see a way that the Dolphins lose this, but I'll admit this game has the same stink of the Jets game last week as well.

hitman2010 · 09-25-10, 12:27 AM

want the money, go for the Seahawk and the Cowgirls.

Why has this thread been posted in players talk area?

Alexgurv · 09-25-10, 10:01 AM

not sure what you mean Ace, says it in NFL Handicapping for me

bleedtoledo · 09-25-10, 11:35 AM

Get off that browns play, they're gonna get blown out.

This is coming from someone whose favorite team in all of sports is the browns

jetstorm369 · 09-25-10, 11:36 AM

i think dolphins are gonna win. -1 sounds good

TheICON003 · 09-25-10, 11:38 AM

GL guys..shoud be an interesting and telling weekend

Alexgurv · 09-26-10, 12:16 AM

Toledo - laid off that game
Jet - Reverse jinx? lol
Icon - GL man

Alexgurv · 09-26-10, 12:17 AM

btw, I realize what Ace mean, why is this in the Players Talk forum and NFL forum? Posted it in the NFL forum to begin with. This happened a couple weeks ago with my NCAA thread too

Lovin the Falcons on Sunday

Alexgurv · 09-26-10, 11:06 PM

Packers -3 to win 2 units

Went 3-1 on Sunday, a winning day is better then a losing day but was really hoping for the Dolphins to win that one. I strongly thought about the Bears here but all I can think about is how incredibly inconsistent Jay Cutler is. Last year, Green Bay won both games. The thing that worries me is there defense, but I think GB's offense can make up for that. The Bears I think are a little overhyped. They should have lost 100% to the Lions if the refs hadn't helped them out in a big way. They went up against a Cowboys team who I think are really questionable on offense right now. Packers are far better then either of those teams and they are also a pretty good road team as well. Lastly I just don't trust Lovie's Smith's play calling.

nice sunday

... looks like ur on the wrong side for monday though.. the bears are a little underrated if you ask me, they torched the lions defense everywhere except on the scoreboard, if your counter is that anyone can torch the lions in terms of yards, thats fine.....they also went into dallas and dominated the majority of the game with their offense against a cowboys D that is really solid, you can see how solid the cowboys D is after they went into houston today and held them to 13 total points (and this is a houston offense that was the best offense in the league) ... the packers played one game against the bills (throw that game out the window), they played the eagles and Vick (the backup) came in and nearly completed a great comeback against that packer D ... i think the bears are a little underrated in this spot becasue everyone seems to think the packers are this unstoppable force and many people are punching in the packers ticket to the superbowl...add the fact that the bears will be at home, the fans will be going crazy on MNF ..plus the success the dogs have had in weeks 1 and 2..plus the fact that the public is heavily favoring the packers.... now, im not saying the packers suck, they might be one of the top teams in the NFC, just think that this everyone is hyping them a bit too much... bears are the play imo
