NFL 2010-2011 Overall 22-21-1 -2.25 units (51.16%)
Last Week 2-3

Disappointing season this year, plenty of time to turn it around though

Patriots -7 to win 1 unit @ 5dimes

Not even gonna waste my time trying to talk myself into a Lions bet like I have done numerous times over the years. There is some myth that the Lions play better on Thanksgiving but apparently they haven't won since 2003. They've been beaten by DD in everyone of those games. Patriots are clicking on all cylinders. I admit Johnson will be a problem for the Pat's in all likelyhood, but this defense has improved a lot over the season. I say the Lions go down easy...as they do every season.

Falcons -1 (-120) to win 1 unit @ 5dimes

I guess this is probably the square pick. But its hard to ignore Matt Ryan is like 18-1 at home. The team looks like a different team at home. Greenbay is getting better but they have still looked inconsistent at times. Either way it should be a good game.

Bears +3 (+100) to bet 1 unit @ 5dimes

This bet pains me but it must be done. It seems like the perfect moment to finally bet against the Eagles. No one can believe the Bears are 7-3. There were times in the Eagles - Giants game where I saw signs of the old Vick come back and I think its pretty much bound to happen at this point. The Bears have the defense to stop him. Cutler has been playing well lately, can't even deny it, hes making good decision. The home field and the points talks me into the Bears

Colts -145 to win 1 unit @ 5dimes

Chargers always play well against the Colts. Maybe I'm just making the square play of the year but I don' see anyway that the Colts lose 3 in a row. They play a lot better at home then they do on the road. Peyton Manning is always spectacular in prime time too.

I like this play..The SI jinx will do in Vick and the Eagles this week.

Who's the team with the best scoring differential in the league +106, 2nd place team is Pitt. who's 36 points behind and has the two best road wins in the NFL this year in Philly and @ the Jets? The Packers that's who. They have the better defense and that's why they'll win.

49ers pick -130 to win 1 unit @ 5dimes

I dont even know why im throwing money out this window on this game. Little bit of upside to this 49ers team and they have some talent. They should probably have more wins then they do. Troy Smith has looked pretty solid at teams this season.
