2011 NFL Pro Picks with John Ryan

**5mike5** · 10-09-11, 04:57 PM

u like a strong pick on FALCONS +6 john????

**John Ryan** · 10-09-11, 04:58 PM

nothing I liked. I do think playing Atlanta on the first half line is a solid opportunity. Already have a posted 5* play on Atlanta. Super Bowl defending champs are just 1-19 ATS when visiting a non-division foe and being undefeated in the current season. Matt Ryan is also a perfect 7-0 SU and ATS when playing at home and facing a no-divisional foe, who is off a win of seven points or more.

Kansas City is now 3-2 on the season ATS.

Let's see what that record is by the end of the season.

For those teaser lovers I like teasing Atlanta and the 'over'.

I'm certainly off to a strong start. I will take each week as it comes and keep grinding out the winners. Yes, I have had awful days in my 18 years of sports handicapping. But, by being objective each week and not worrying about the record... the record then takes care of itself. Like a pitcher in MLB making one pitch at a time and not cluttering his brain with the fact that he just gave up a home run or just recorded a strikeout.

**bassaholicman** · 10-09-11, 11:19 PM

Thanx for solid plays John. I love your style of posting your plays early and never chasing. Do you look at subjective matchups as well as trends and statistical analysis when making your picks?

**Chandlergt** · 10-09-11, 11:19 PM

John thanks for your picks this weekend.

Any thoughts on MNF I am thinking the under on the game. What is your thoughts? Thanks

TJ

**TMoney33** · 10-10-11, 01:20 AM

WTF happened in Atlanta? Did someone take their heart at the commercial and give it to GB?

Oh well onto next week. I'll defiitely be checking out your plays. I'm really liking most of your picks. GL

**Ask Whole** · 10-10-11, 03:13 AM

Awesome Thread

**JR007** · 10-10-11, 08:08 AM

ats record great, but with all these 5 stars, how many "units" are you up ?????? and how much per unit ????

**IllyPhilly[DOC]** · 10-10-11, 11:04 AM

Last MNF we were on the under at 40.5 and the dam football gods cursed us with the total hitting 41. Me personally i like the under 47.5, though you can't be to sure in a division match up. Do u like the bears +6 John? The last 3 MNF went under the total besides last week .5pt differential, if you had 40.5 that is. MNF seem to favor the away team too going 4 of 5 (2 MNF games week1).

**jjaycuny** · 10-10-11, 11:28 AM

Any plays for tonight? I'm liking bears +6 too

**tommyminh** · 10-10-11, 11:46 AM

Hey john what u think about lion ? Are they gonna cover ?

**Hawk007** · 10-10-11, 02:09 PM

RU the John Ryan from Vegas Experts? Sorry, I'm sure this has been asked before, just curious...

**PickMeAwinner** · 10-10-11, 04:10 PM

Who is with me on Chi + 6?

Detroit to is a good team, but they are not great just yet. I was impressed by the way the handle the 3 games on the road so far with the wins. At home as a season opener they played KC and complete demolished them. Now its almost game time and they are at home once again. Im not convince that the can do it today. I teams they beat so far this year is sub-par in my opinion. Kc is on the rebound, Vikings are still iffy, they barely beat Tampa Bay, and of course they beat Dallas. Dallas to me is a team that cant finish games and they proved it once more. The lions are + 8 in turn of ratio this year, pretty good start. Chicago to me to me is the Lions toughest match up this year. Chi this has shown that they can take care of the ball with a + 2 turn over ratio. Chi is 2-2 so far and they played Green Bay and New Orleans 2 of the league's best. Chi did take the home game against Carolina and destroyed Atlanta ( this years biggest let down). Chicago defense not doing so well this to the Bears standards. Offensively they are being more aggressive with the passing game only because they were trying to keep up in games vs high powered offenses. The Lions are the same team from last year, the only difference is t-hat they are having a winning record. Detroit has a horrible record playing Chicago. Straight up Chi is in the lead with 8 wins and 2 lost vs DET and 5-1 when playing in Detroit. I expect the Bear to play better D vs a well know opponent. I see the Bear running the ball more today and grinding the clock keeping Matt Stafford and "MegaTron" on the sidelines. Its gonna be a close one +6 for the Bears is a lot. I'll take the points on this one.

Oh Dont forget about Hester and special teams

I have to agree with you and I would like to see what Mr. Ryan's simulator spits out. I am actually getting +7 at BETUS and I am also thinking of taking the under. I agree with your analysis...Chicago is the toughest that Detroit has seen and let's face it...Dallas gave Detroit that game. Had Detroit lost that game, the line would be a bit tighter. I think Detroit is just a bit overrated and although they win the game, I am not so sure they can cover the 6 or 7 points.
