Preseason Football Plays

8/12
Bucs -2.5

All about the coaches here... Tampa's coach has chip on his shoulder and something to prove... They will be the more prepared more serious team tonight... It seems the sharps agree with this line moving from +2 to -2.5... Good luck all

[kernssca]

Not bad logic and preseason is usually more about coach mentality

8/13
Browns -1

This one is all about the fans... Yes Green Bay superbowl winners, but starters will probably only go 1 series if that... Also Browns have brilliant ground game, and those fans are nuts up there... They will treaat this game like its their superbowl and will convince the players that they game matters... I see 17-13 win for the browns.

8/14
JEts vs. Texans Over 34.5

On the surface you would say this game is a huge under with these two defenses... Again this is preseason though and we need to think about what the coaches want to work on... I'll to you the Jets want to work on their vertical game, so they will be stretching the field whenever possible... Texans will use spread offense with alot of halfback screens, then when first team defense comes off the field texans will score... 24-20 final... Take the over.

i'm on the jets texans over. gl to us all.

[GemSportsPicks]

2-0 so far... Hoping to get the TURKEY tomorrow night. Ooops I mean monday night.

[GemSportsPicks]

3-0

[FJ_islander]

You have a great run going on here. HAve done really well. Wishing you all the best this football season. May you have a great season.

8/21
Jets ML -320

I'm never one to take big moneylines, but this is as close to a lock as it gets... After seeing Rex Ryan throw a temper tantrum about losing to the Texans, its obvious he wants to win... Jets much better team, mistakes they made will be fixed they are home, and Ryan has them playing to win... Jets roll here.

[FJ_islander]

I hope that you are on the spot with this pick on Jets my friend as I would be tailing you. Lets get that green. All the best.

8/18
Pats vs. Bucs Under 37
On the surface I see over over over... But after i thought about it... Pats first game went way over cause they wanted to put on a show for their fans... This game is a little different, they are playing in Tampa and I really don't think they are going to want to be there... Look for them to sit back on defense not taking any chances... And offensively lots of short little passes and running the ball to keep the clock moving and get them out of the stadium as fast as possible. 20-10 final... Under is the only move here.

I am torn on this one myself, was thinking over initially. The Patriots ran up the score because they executed and Jacksonville let them, Bill is not about putting on shows, he is about execution and getting it done is good practice for getting it done. They will have a balanced attack, but will be committed to moving the ball and scoring. I also think they will approach this game seriously because of the lack of time to prepare for the the regular season and the fact that they will also be starting the season with a trip to Florida. Going to go with Pats 1st half over 7 1/2.

[GemSportsPicks]

True, I feel where your coming from... My feeling is that Tampa is one of the most underrated teams in the league... I have them getting 10 wins this year.. Freeman is awesome, the defense is young and fast, but also have discipline which is rare combination... Alot of it has to do with the young tampa coach who is from a ghetto where I live... He is no nonsense tough nose guy, and these young thug althetes respond to him... I love under here.

You are right about Pats coach not putting on show... But the players all wanted to score for fun while they were home... Tonight should be much closer game, which will lead to more situational play calling and clock managment practice... We will have to wait and see, but under to only advantage i see.

[GemSportsPicks]

3-1 terrible play.

[GemSportsPicks]

Dolphins -6
Panthers are feeling out which QB they want to go with... Dolphins with be playing aggressivley and should be able to run the ball well... Dolphins 24-13

[GemSportsPicks]

Back on track 4-1

[FJ_islander]

Yes in deed, Back on track you are. Keep up the good work and keep winning and we will keep tailing you and making some cash for the regular season. Cheers.

[GemSportsPicks]

YEa to bad I've gotten absolutely smoked in MLB last month and a half down close to 10 grand... Not good not good at all... At this rate, I won't make it to football regular season.

Rams -3
Well this one is more of a technical play more then a fundamental play.... On the fundamental side, this game is more of a learning expierence for the titans who will be adjusting to alot of new pieces...

More importantly and the reason for the play is on the technical side... Line opened at -3 which is key number, I believe it is going to go to 3.5 which will move it off this key number... When lines break through such as this it is significant, well atleast in my mind it is... I'll be on Rams -3... 16-10 final.

[GemSportsPicks]

4-2 was scared about the spread here and with good reason... Should have went with moneyline... Jets should get W today and like I said I hate laying the juice but sometimes its worth it... Hopefully this is one of those times.

[GemSportsPicks]

8/21
Jets vs. Bengals Over 33.5
I know the sharps are all over this under, but even sharps have to be wrong sometimes right? Jets will be working on chemistry on offense... They already know they can run the ball so I see them throwing early and throwing often... More throws complete or not, the more plays there will be in the game... Also Jets defense could be good for 1 or 2 picks 6's so it should cruise over... I hope. Jets 27-10

[mm2011]

I had the same feling you had last night and I took the money line that was crazy end! What do you think of the Dallas game on the over?

[GemSportsPicks]

No really opinion on that game... I mean all things point over... I just can't see any angle there... Doing my best to limit plays before I go into Junky mode and start taking everything on the board.

[GemSportsPicks]

6-2, do I get bonus points if I hit the final on the head... 27-10 is looking like a real possibilty

[GemSportsPicks]

8/22
Giants -4.5
I will possibily be taking the moneyline as well, but I really don't see the spread coming into play here... The bears were hurt most by the new NFL rules because now their avg. starting field position is going to suffer dramatically. Bears defense is good but they will allow some check downs for Manning... I don't see bears offense doing much as they should be pressured to throw the ball quickly... Giants win 17-7

[GemSportsPicks]

8/27
Arizona ?
Don't know the line on this one yet... But regardless of favorite or not, I'll be taking Arizona to win in this spot... Chargers just beat up on Cowboys on Network TV... This will inflate the line more then it should be... There is one key happening in this game, though that will lead to cardinals win... Gaving Floyd, getting hurt... whether its serious or not is irrelevant... Wide Recievers getting hurt has been Chargers BugBoo for the last 5 yeaers... They will not risk this again in preseason. They will close the playbook and stick to simple simple stuff... Cardinals win 20-13

[GemSportsPicks]

Oh I ment Malcom floyd.

[GemSportsPicks]

Line is out Carinals +145

[GemSportsPicks]

8/25
Panthers vs. Bengals Over 33.5
Bengals only scored 7 against the jets, but thats the jets... They will be excited to face a normal defense and should move the ball decently agaisnt the panthers... Panthers offense should also move the ball against Bengals... Like the final 20-17 in this one.

[GemSportsPicks]

Giants -250
Love the late line movement here... BEat the spread by a bunch so I figure I'll double down on the Moneyline. Good luck all

[GemSportsPicks]

So far looks like a great late add... I hate big fav moneylines, but it seems to be the way to go so far this preseason.

[GemSportsPicks]

8/27
Cardinals +4.5 -150
Buying the 1.5 here... This is really a hedge... I believe cardinals win 20-17, so incase I'm right and its late in the game and Chargers score a TD... I atleast want the split that is the reason for buying the 1.5

[GemSportsPicks]

8-2

[GemSportsPicks]

8/27
49ers +3.5 -150 Bought 1.5
Texans got big win at home, 49ers look atrocious... 49ers will be taking this game very seriously working on exectution execution execution... Their defense should be able to slow the texans offense and I like there to be one or two big plays on offense or special teams from the 9ers to give them the lead. Like the 9ers here 20-13. Good luck

[GemSportsPicks]

Really hate to see this line dropping... To bad locked in at 33.5.... For those that still like the over, definitely think about buying it to 31... This is important cause it will make 17-14 a push instead of a loss.
