i like both tickets.

I like Houston. Jets appear correct, too.

Any leans on the Miami/Oakland game?

Brent13081 · 12-03-11, 10:07 AM

your gonna get rick rolled if you take the houston texans.....3rd string qb is a bum...and then they sign sorry ass delhomme.....Atlanta falcons will beat the texans by 2 touchdowns..

Brent13081 · 12-03-11, 10:10 AM

mark sanchez one of the worst qb's in the league.........not a good formula for winning to bet on below average qbs..

RealRickBennett · 12-03-11, 01:39 PM

Hey GamblerSpirit, thanks for the support... and yes, I'm leaning towards the Raiders (+3) in the OAK @ MIA tilt.

Best of luck!

Brent, you may very well be right this week, but what can I tell you? I'm going with what's gotten me this far! I believe the Texans D and running game will carry the day tomorrow.

ATL is overvalued this year. 11-5 ATS last year. 4-6-1 ATS this year.

I'm on Houston also.

Despite a long list of injuries (18!), over 80% are probable. The team is healthy. They will have to rely on TJ Yates making short plays down the field and the RB's getting the rest of the job done. Houston's run game is very good, being 3rd in the league. Atlantas defense is 2nd in the league, but they have some CB injuries that might open the door for Houston a little.

Cashing both tickets!

Just needed to say that I'm pumped about cashing both of my top picks today... now 19-9-1 on the season... congrats to Chopperocker, SteveRyan and to all others who were with me.

GamblerSpirit, sorry about "leaning" you the wrong way on the Raiders.

I also had the same picks as you except had cincy +7.5..Good job, I'll have to check in next week see what you got going on!

3pound · 12-04-11, 05:08 PM

Impressive....what you think of the NO/Det game tonight. I like NO -8.5 and and the over 54.5.

RealRickBennett · 12-04-11, 05:14 PM

I'm in a "pick every game" pool with some firends for low stakes & took DET +9, but it's definitely not a favorite game for me. I'm not going to try and sway you away from your Saints pick. (Picking every game, I'm at 92-76-8 coming into this week - 55%.)

burchfield · 12-04-11, 06:33 PM

Like your honesty on the every game part, alot of people cant fess up the truth and makes ur heavy leans look even better. Wished I found ya sooner

BernardMadoff · 12-04-11, 06:37 PM

Pick the Saints game.

RealRickBennett · 12-04-11, 11:04 PM

Thanks burchfield... appreciate the kind words. I plan on being a regular here & I'll always be transparent. Even the best can't expect to do much better than 60%... I'm just on an incredible heater right now - especially since Week 5. I've been running a blog since the beginning of the season on WordPress, you can find all my picks there (same user name).

And Madoff... I already stated above that I lean slightly towards DET (+9) on the Sun night game... although that was a very low confidence game for me this week.
