Week 6

Matt: Alright. Here we go. Starting fresh. I'm feeling an 11-2 week. Let's get straight to it.

Different set up this week folks, we will list the game and the odds and then Matt and Scott will comment on the game right after in one wild and crazy column.


Buffalo at Detroit (+2)

Matt: I've completely lost a handle on the Bills this season. They've been up and down so much. But I do know about the Lions, and that means bet against them. I think that 2 point line is really an over/under on Kitna's suspiciously intentional-looking fumbles/ints. – Give me Buffalo

Scott: I am going to take Buffallo here giving the points even though I hate J.P. Losman more than Satan. I need this one to be an offensive juggernaut due to me starting John Kitna in fantasy (there is a reason I am 1-4 this season)

Carolina at Baltimore(-3)

Matt: I live in Baltimore. That qualifies me as an expert. I was in South Carolina when I was thirteen. Therefore, I am an expert in both. – I will take Carolina

Scott: I have been saying it for 3 weeks now, Steve McNair has finally learned the Ravens offense of losing close games, take Carolina and win some money


Cincinnati at Tampa Bay(+5.5)
Matt: Gradcowski? Who knows? I'll take Carson and the Chain Gang.

Scott: I hate both these teams, give me Carson Palmer over Brucey G any day though


Houston(+13.5) at Dallas

Matt: Remember when it looked like the Texans were going to go 0-16 last year and then the eeked out a win to wreck it? Well, this year that's the Raiders story. Anyway, the point is, the Texans will put up a fight in this one. Still lose of course. But not by that much.

Scott: Drew Bledsoe sucks, Terrel Ownes makes Terry Glenn look stable, and Parcels man titties are bigger than Phil Mickleson’s at this point…look for them to be in NFC East basement. They will win this one but not by 13.5 over David “Best Fantasy QB” Carr (how is this happening again?)


Giants(+3) at Atlanta

Matt: Vick off of a bye. E-cry Manning vs John Abraham. Abraham only plays four games a year so he makes them count. Atlanta Falcons with the win, give the points.

Scott: Giants defense sucks, they can only do one thing well. However, it’s stoping the run. Take the Giants with the points. Also Vick needs LT to throw the touchdown pass to beat some High School kids….so he sucks


Philadelphia at New Orleans(+3.5)
Matt: I really like New Orleans this year but Philadelphia is still better than people think. – Philly, give the points

Scott: Philadelphia is worse than people think. They couldn’t even beat that high school football team from the Nike commercials


Seattle at St. Louis(+3)

Matt: I have no idea. I figure the home dog has a chance to win outright. So take 'em.

Scott: Take St. Louis, Seahawks suck w/o Shawn


Tennessee(+10.5) at Washington
Matt: The Redskins suck like always. Young Vince almost took down the Colts and the Titans D held them to what? 14 points? They probably won't win but they'll cover that spread.

Scott: I have to agree if they can hold the Colts to 14 (though they always play the Colts tough) and Redskins can only score 3 versus a Giants defense, this looks like a much closer game than 10.5


Kansas City (+7) at Pittsburgh

Matt: That spread is probably too high. But this is a must win for the Steelers. Plus I lived in Pittsburgh for six years, that qualifies me as an expert. (You'd think my 18 years would make me an expert in the Scranton/Wilkes Barre/Hazleton Red Barons... but it doesn't work like that. You don't get it at all, do you?) Pitt will win it out

Scott: Take KC over Pitt, over/under on Big Ben being benched is set at 3:13 left in the 3rd…take the under


Miami at N.Y. Jets (-3)
Matt: Jets favored? Now I've seen it all. – I’ll take the J-E-T-S

Scott: Jet’s D = awful, Miami’s Offense = awful…….take the points


San Diego at San Francisco (+10.5)

Matt: No freaking way do the 49ers cover this. I would probably take this line at +21. Don't hold me to that.

Scott: If you bet the moneyline on San Fran to win outright its 4 times whatever you bet……….this is not a good sign for the 49ers. Take the Chargers


Oakland (+15) at Denver

Matt: I'm actually very tempted to pick Oakland for the first time this year. They have to start covering at some point don't they? Can a team really go 0-16 against the spread. But alas, I am a coward and I'm taking Denver.

Scott: Denver is averaging less points than this spread. I am still taking Denver (thank you Art Shell for being a bettor’s dream)


Chicago at Arizona (+11.5)

Matt: A team with an average margin of victory of 20 points against a team with an average of two boneheaded game killing plays a game. +11.5 is nowhere near enough give me the Bears

Scott: Bears and their cupcake schedule could very well face the Eagles with their cupcake schedule in the playoffs in the battle of “How the hell did we get this overrated?” Take the Bears

Matt's Confidence Picks:
Buffalo over Detroit (+2)
Atlanta over New York Giants (+3)

Scott's Free Money Game of the Week:
Carolina(+3) over Baltimore

Summary:

Games we bet the same team on, as if we actually bet real money at a real online site. However we would never actually do this. Any similarity to an online receipt is completely made up in your dumb head.
