Fade me, maybe.

[pixster]

CLE @ BAL: CLE +13, 2.5 units

[pixster]

Good sign...the CLE/BAL line now down to 12.

For primetime, the football gods usually order up a close game with a human interest story(s). The storyline tags for this matchup: Art Modell, Cleveland, Baltimore, relocation, controversy. Throw in the current replacement ref plot, and now you have the added suspense. This game has all the makings for a boost in TV ratings, especially if CLE keeps the score exciting to the end. Which is really what this is all about. Entertainment.

[pixster]

Better sign...the CLE/BAL line now down to 11.5

[pixster]

Just as the football gods ordered...1) a close game at the half 2) keep the fans interested so that the ratings don't slack off in the second half, and 3) rain to make 1) and 2) happen.

CLE @ BAL: CLE +13, 2.5 units W

[pixster]

Overall: 12 - 24 - 1, +10.5 Units

Week 4 picks...1st and 2nd half picks seem like a better option for me. May throw in a full game or two.

1st Half Picks...

Panthers/Falcons: Falcons -4, 3 Units
Vikings/Lions: Vikings +3, 2 Units

[pixster]

Damn the Falcons...close 1st half miss. Will be making some 2nd Half picks on the late games,

[pixster]

2nd Half Enticements
MIA/ARI
OAK/DEN

Maybe others depending on the line.

[pixster]

OAK/DEN (2nd Half): DEN -3, 5 units
DEN's 2nd Half avg pts at home is 19. OAK away 2nd half avg pts is 3.

[pixster]

MIA/ARI: U 18.5, 3 units
Combined, 13.5 is the 2nd Half avg pts for these teams (MIA away, ARI home)

Good luck!!!

[pixster]

Interesting 2nd half stat re Saints/GB: so far this year, Saints score an avg of 16 pts. on away games, while the Packers score an avg of 12.5 at home. However, GB has the no. 1 rated OPP Passing defense vs. NO's defense which stinks all around. We'll see what the 2nd half line opens at.

[pixster]

WAS/TB 2nd half stat:

The Bucs rank last in scoring. WAS ranks in the top 4, but only 13.5 when away. Leaning U on this one.

[pixster]

Saints/GB: O 27, 2.5 units

Both teams are above their 1st Half scoring avgs. 2nd half may go above avg also.

[pixster]

WAS @ TB: U 21.5, 2 units

[pixster]

1st Half Picks
Panthers/Falcons: Falcons -4, 3 Units L

3 - 3, +0.5 units

[pixster]

Going again with a 1st half pick...

NYG @ PHI: NYG +0.5, 3.5 units

[pixster]

NYG @ PHI 1st Half Stats (2012)

NYG scores an avg of 20 pts on away games. PHI scores an avg of 7 pts at home.

[pixster]

Wow, very conservative game. 2nd Half pick comin' up.

[pixster]

NYG @ PHI (2nd Half): PHI +0.5, 4.5 Units

[pixster]

NYG @ PHI (1st Half): NYG +0.5, 3.5 units L
NYG @ PHI (2nd Half): PHI +0.5, 4.5 Units L

Gonna try to make it up with an MNF 1st Half pick.

CHI @ DAL

First, some 1st Half Stats on these teams.
This is the Bears second away game. Their first away game was at GB a few weeks ago. The Packers defense is currently rated 6th overall. When the Bears played the Packers, GB's defense was not rated as high. In the first half of that game, CHI managed to score 0 points.

The Cowboys passing defense is currently ranked #1. CHI's passing game is 28th, fourth worst in the NFL. Forte is a game time decision, which means the Bear's running game is suspect. DAL scored 10 pts in the only home game they've had.
