do you think tampa can cover +16 on a teaser ?
i see a defensive battle.

I must say that the Bears have impressed me thus far. Better yet, they have played well in both of their road games. They will be playing at home in this one against a team that I think they will be able to handle.

I just got Carolina +3.5 (-115) now that Jackson is out.

Actually...I'm a huge Bears FAn (use to work with them and drink much Koolade). However, if I'm betting this game (and its a financial decision) I'm betting Tampa and the Under !

Tampa is going to be on the road here. The Bears have played well on the road this season. I think they should come up big in front of their home crowd.

eagles beat the steelers pretty easily, eagles probably the best team in nfl maybe 2nd to dallas.

i like carolina, other game is a flip.

fifawcs · 09-18-08, 07:45 AM

Yeah. Eagles/Steelers is probably the game I will stay away from. I do like bears and carolina a whole lot though.

I might add Titans -4.5 to that list. What do you guys think?

fifawcs · 09-20-08, 12:20 PM

These are my official plays for Sunday:
Panthers -3.5
Bears -3 (-115)
Titans -4.5

Adrian Peterson is Questionable and a game time decision. Line didn't move after that. Something's not right.

Bears-3 ..Tenn-4 1/2 Philly-3/3 1/2 N.E.-12/13 Buff-9........Dallas-3(lock)

buffalo is likely to not cover here, and the cowboys are hardly a lock, was thinking about taking gb+3, but with bigby out and woodson hurt, gb's secondary may not be up to par

yahoonino · 09-20-08, 06:03 PM

jacksonville+5,,,,,,,,,,,miami+12.5,,,,, ,,best bet on sunday

fifawcs · 09-20-08, 07:11 PM

Hoff, they are redoing the panthers line. It's a good thing I got it earlier this week. Do you really want to trust Miami on the road against the Patriots in this spot? I don't care if it is +12.5, the Pats are still a very good team even without brady. Jacksonville is a no play for me since I am not convinced that they are good, especially on the road against the colts. I don't like Philly either since the Steelers are a great team and Eagles are fluky.

tab · 09-20-08, 11:28 PM

I like TB +3. TB was lit up by new orleans in week 1. Drew Brees threw for 3 td's in that game. Devin Hester is questionable and probably will not play. To beat TB, the bears need Hester in this game. Orton has one of the lowest touchdown percentage in the NFL (12 touchdown passes in 501 attempts for a 2.4%). This is going to be a low scoring game and chicago may not score a td in this game.

fifawcs · 09-21-08, 10:15 AM

Tab, you are underestimating the home field advantage factor in this game. When a team like the Bears is at home, I expect their offense to become that much better and the opposing team's to be that much worse. The Bears managed to stop one of the best offenses in the league in the Panthers last week and I see them having no problem shutting down TB. The Bucs gave up a decent number of points to the saints in their first road game. I think that coupled with the Bucs having the 23rd ranked defense in the NFL spells a Chicago win.

laxdjock · 09-21-08, 10:56 AM

DAL could be a trap game. Do I expect them to win most times.....yes. Would I bet this game....Heck no! GB may be the real deal, and while DAL has looked strong, GB might be that buzz saw that knocks them a peg down.

PHI should stomp PIT, but I'm not on it.

I agree about CHI @ home. I think -3 is a gimme.

fifawcs · 09-21-08, 11:14 AM

Yeah. Green Bay and Philly games are too close to call. I think all of my picks have some kind of an edge.

fifawcs · 09-21-08, 03:35 PM

I went 1-2
