2011 NFL Pro Picks with John Ryan

**John Ryan** · 09-25-11, 02:38 PM

Tennessee obviously not a good selection. Looking at Buffalo comeback. Vick hurt again, but honestly the Giants have been getting the key plays when they need them the most. How can any team be dominating in the stats like the Eagles with 23 FD to just 10 for the Ginats, 177 rushing yards to 102 for the Giants, have run 64 plays to just 39 for the Giants and be trailing in the game? And Ried once again showing an inability to adjust to the flow of the game and manage the situation. Wow, can't wait to see the headlines in Philadelphia tomorrow if this score holds up and the Eagles are 1-2. The Dream Team. In the movie Goodfellows, an elder says 'You learned a good lesson. Never rat on your friends and always keep your mouth shut. Eagles should take note of the second part of that sound advise.

another bad start from rams

"Become A Pro!"

**thefonzo** · 09-25-11, 04:11 PM

Bears look like they are running all over the pack... Seriously, if Carolina couldn't run the ball, and the Saints couldn't when they needed to, what makes u think the Bears ever could.

**Dayman** · 09-25-11, 04:46 PM

Alright, so I guess the obvious play for tonight is Pittsburgh -10 1/2 over Indianapolis. But then again, the patriots were supposed to beat the bills.

**jjaycuny** · 09-25-11, 05:03 PM

Any plays for tonight? I wanna take Pit at 10.5 but after the eagles and pats game I dont know

**fecgp40** · 09-25-11, 06:27 PM

I liked John's selection on the Bears + 4... Unfortunately, 4 yards rushing is what killed them this game. John stated he expected the Bears to grind it out on the ground. I agreed with this analysis... but they just couldn't do it. Without a running game, Cutler was a sitting a duck. Oh well. Can't win'm all.

**Dayman** · 09-25-11, 06:29 PM

Bears would have covered if it wasnt for that holding call. Really thought we had that one

tennessee -7 -110 over denver
st. Louis +5 -110 over baltimore
chicago +4 -110 over green bay

these are based on the sim projections and final gradings. I will back later tonight with some additional insight and may have an additional totals play as well. Thanks again for all of the compliments and i am looking forward to adding on to our 8-2 ats nfl mark this week. As always i look forward to your feedback and constructive opinions. It is enjoyable for me to hear them and discuss football and football handicapping.

**fecgp40** · 09-25-11, 06:34 PM

Everyone can have a bad day. John has been on fire. It was bound to happen sooner or later.

**fecgp40** · 09-25-11, 06:35 PM

Teaser for Tonight

Colts + 17.5 and under 44. What do you all think? I think the Colts keep it closer than most people think. They're going to be motivated at home on national TV. All they've been hearing all year is how they are garbage without Manning.

**drew2** · 09-25-11, 06:36 PM

john any pick for tonight?

As I had stated and almost set myself up to happen, it was poor day all around with only KC coming through as a winner. The least likely to win quite frankly. The bears was frustrating too. Bad breaks even out with the good ones. Overall I stand now at 9-5 ATS with a 10* and 20 winner ATS within that mix. Still playing with a bunch of the house money. Carolina was the 20* winner that was solid throughout, but then need a back-door cover last week. So per hasp that is offset by the Chicago 'thing'.. I am glad the record is 9-5 ATS.

For tonight let's make it a 5* Play on the Colts. As one of our posters suggested if you want to tease them up with the total then I agree that is a suitable opportunity.

**John Ryan** · 09-25-11, 06:44 PM

To clarify the Colts +17 1/2 and tease the total up for an UNDER play.

**CROANT** · 09-25-11, 06:47 PM

Indy might not score!

C'mon now...They'll get a field goal at least lol.

**drew2** · 09-25-11, 06:54 PM

john colts +10,5?

**khicks26** · 09-25-11, 06:59 PM

just said on pregame, that Manning will be calling plays tonight. if Collins can execute them, the Colt,s may have a chance. or keep it within 10.5

**John Ryan** · 09-25-11, 07:01 PM

thanks john good luck tonight

**K2daL** · 09-25-11, 07:11 PM

I'm down a lot today & probably PASS on tonite game... GL to you guys

**Stevedore** · 09-25-11, 07:33 PM

Already on the Colts straight and teasing to over 32.

What I don't get is why were you on the Bears? In the roundtable discussion video you didn't have an opinion, and the other guy made a compelling argument for GB that you didn't refute.

That was before I ran the simulator and got the 5* grading on the play. Honestly, on that round table it was a little hard to even get a few seconds to speak about the games (laugh). Believe me when I am working during the week it takes tons of hours to get to the point of releasing the plays. You will here the host Peter Loshak often say that John do you have an opinion on the game knowing that you have not completed your research yet. I will make it more clear in the videos to get the final status all plays here at the thread.

Tomorrow I will do a very short video on opening lines and if there are any I see as soft or just outright surprising to me. So, for the BEST info I provide this thread is certainly tops on the list. Hope this helps clarify your question.

**John Ryan** · 09-25-11, 08:42 PM

Now how about that? Talk about being the dog instead of the fire hydrant. Now, I can't wait to see the half just end. Laugh.. Seriously long way to go, but when you get a turnover for a score it increases the chances of covering the spread big time.

What do you think of my chances of covering the under 44 John? The + 17.5 looks really good.

**drew2** · 09-25-11, 10:39 PM

great pick, thanks john

**PhillyeagleIrish** · 09-25-11, 10:41 PM
