    imgv NFL Week 9 (YTD: 24-34 -8.84 Units)

    YTD: 24-34 -8.84 Units

    After a few bad weeks in a row had a pretty decent one last week. Hopefully continue it this week as I have a very large play.

    My goal is to be within even units by week 13.


    2.5* Teaser -115
    Bengals +7.5
    Steelers -2

    1* Teaser -130
    Bengals +9
    Steelers -0.5


    Writeup:

    Whats the one thing everyone is saying about the Bengals? Their defense sucks, offense is the bomb Palmer,Chad Johnson, TJ Whosyourmama etc. But please let's realize that the Bills isn't any better.

    BILLS DEFENSE:
    Def Run: 24th (4.7ypc allowed)
    Def Pass: 29th

    ^^^
    BAD DEFENSE? Bengals shouldn't have much problems with this D.

    Again we all know that the Bengals have an explosive offense actually the 5th best offense in NFL


    Bills offense hmm NOT SO GOOD...............

    Bills
    Off Run: 20th
    Off Pass: 31st

    Bills really don't do anything good.


    Buffalo is only averaging 13.9ppg this season (29th)
    The most points the Bills have scored this season is 24.


    Is Buffalo's dismal offense going to outscore the NFLs 6th best offense in the NFL?

    Don't you think Carson Palmer will have a ton of success against the 29th worst PASS DEFENSE?


    Consider this as well, Bengals have lost by DD's twice this season to - New England who has killed everyone and the Steelers who have their # and is a much better team than the Bills.

    Bengals 0-3 on the road this season but they didn't lose any of those games by more than 7 points. Losing to three teams who are better than the Bills.


    Bengals and the points is the right way to go, Bengals are not losing by much to a Bills team who does nothing well.





    Whatever the case the Steelers have the edge in almost every category. Not only that but their @ HOME too.

    Better QB
    Better RBs
    Better WRs
    Better O-Line
    Secondary Neutral
    Run Defense: Baltimore but not by much cause the Steelers are still ranked 5th vs Run.



    We all know the Ravens have a great defense but the damn
    Steelers have a GREAT DEFENSE too.

    Steelers Def Run: 4th
    Steelers Def Pass: 5th

    Steelers may even have the better DEFENSE

    Points allowed
    Ravens 119
    Steelers 91

    Let's talk about offense now..

    Steelers have a pretty good offense averaging 26.7ppg
    Steelers have the 5th ranked offense in the NFL

    Ravens on the other hand are only averaging 17.7ppg on offense.

    Okay so the Steelers have an as good or maybe even better defense AND they avg nine more points a game AND their @ HOME!!

    Let's look even deeper......

    Pittsburgh has the better RUNNING game.

    Pitt Off Run:1st
    Balt Off Run: 16th

    Need more evidence?

    Pitt offense Run: 4.8 yds per carry
    Balt offense Run 3.9yds per carry

    OK

    Let's look at the pass now

    Baltimore Off Pass: 16th
    Steelers Off Pass : 21th

    Alright, the Ravens pass the ball a little better. Oh well

    BUT WAIT! This is a MISLEADING stat.


    Baltimore has yielded only 100 more yards in passing than the Steelers
    BUT
    Have attempted 83 more passes.

    Pass Attempts per game
    Balt: 39.3
    Pitt: 27.1

    Yards per Pass
    Balt 5.8
    Pitt 8.0


    So actually Baltimore doesn't have the better passing game...

    Baltimore has really struggled on the road this season:

    Balt 20
    Cin 27

    Balt 13
    Clev 27

    Balt 9
    SF 7

    Balt 14
    Buff 19

    1-3

    Outscored 56 to 80, all by teams that Pittsburgh have played and defeated by 11 or more.




    Let's see what the Steelers have done at home this season:


    Buff 3
    Pitt 26

    SF 16
    Pitt 37

    Sea 0
    Pitt 21


    Won all three games by 21 points or more.



    1* Pats/Colts Over 56

    It's going to take at least 30 points to win this game. These are definitely the two best teams,offenses and QBs in football. Both teams have been putting up big points all season I don't see why it should stop now.


    1* Cowboys -3 +100 (LAZERWAGER)

    I have my doubts about the Eagles. There are some stats that make the Eagles look good but I'm convinced that we have the best team in the NFL going against probably the 6th best team in the NFL.



    If I see the Packers go up to +3, I will be teasing them to +10 to the Steelers.


    GL everyone feedback is always appreciated.

    Well the Bengals game is a perfect example of how my season has gone.
    Outscored 17-0 in the 4th QTR. A perfect example of how my season has gone.

    So Far: 2-3 -3.17 Units

    Still have this pending:
    0.5* Teaser
    Packers +9.5
    Steelers -2

    So if I lose 2.7 units it won't be a complete disaster.

    Hate giving College winnings back to the pros. Oh well.

    This week:3-3 -2.67 Units.

    YTD: 27-37 -11.51 Units

    That 17-0 4th QTR in the Cincy game really stings. Things should balance out to where I win a game like that.


    Oh well. Take care.
