Mystic Limey forsees" Easy Oakland win

I'm pullin for Oakland also, but there are a few problems...

Jacoby Ford ---out (Foot)
Denarious Moore ---out (Foot)
T.J. Houshmandzadeh ---out (Sat out of practice)
Darrius Heyward-Bey ---out (Concussion, head, neck)

Raiders are down to a handful of healthy receivers, including Chaz Schilens, Louis Murphy and rookie Eddie McGee, who is on the team's practice squad.

i havnt seen DHB ruled out as of yet, read somewhere he practiced the last 2 days...still get your point just curious if he has been in fact ruled out?

You're right. He did practice; still, the team is worn thin. Chicago is healthy, but how Hanie performs is mystery.

Maybe the under is the right play on this one.

oh no doubt, they are depleted.. just read dhb had a good chance of playing, making sure i didnt misread something...not much interest in this gm or really any nfl 2marro, prob play a few college hoops gms and do something with the wife, just bored and trying to find something to bet...

If you guys are basing your picks on whether or not dhb plays, you're out of your mind. Hes garbage. Im taking chicago and tbe points. Especially since detroit got beat. Bears cant afford to lose.

Update: When I finally was able to get the bet placed, this morning, I changed my staking:
10 units Raiders -3, 10 units Raiders ML

By far my biggest bet of the season - fingers crossed!

Surely the Bears could less afford to lose if Detroit had won?

Phew. My biggest bet of the season won. It was a bit hairy at the end, having looked all over when the Bears were down twelve points and had 3rd and 19 under their own goalposts with three minutes to play. I could have done without the ensuing events!

congrats Limey

Too kind, BigDan, thanks. I feel a bit lucky. When I make a large bet I place it fully expecting a comfortable win, and this didn't end up that way.

yea but honestly oak was in control wire to wire..it the nfl, not much comes easy... you were certainly on the right side, nice when that actually translates to a winning bet...
