NFL Week 3....(YTD: 34-27-1, +9 ujnits)

[Assani Fisher]

Please note that I have not factored juice into my units won/lost. Obviously this would affect my total a bit. All lines are from sportsbook at the time of this post.
Jets +5.5 at Buffalo, o/u 34.5
Jets are my surprise team this year, so I'll stick by them. I see this as a low scoring game that the Jets will cover even if they lose. Buffalo shouldn't be able to score more than 14 points here imo.Jets +5.5(3 units), under 34.5(1 unit)

Cincy +2 at Pit, o/u 42
Tough call, but I simply think Cincy is the better team. They win this one outright imo, sending Steelers fans into worry. Cincy +2(1 unit), under 42(1 unit)

Jacksonville +7 at Indy, o/u 44
Seven points is way too much here. Jacksonville showed a lot on MNF, although it was at home. Their D will not let the Colts rush the ball at all, making them very one dimensional. I expect a lower scoring affair, and I'll go ahead and predict that Jacksonville wins outright. Jacksonville +7(8 units), under 44(2 units)

Tenn +10.5 at Miami, o/u 36.5
Miami simply isn't good enough to be laying double digit points. Tenn +10.5(55 units), under 36.5(1 unit)

Wash -4 at Hous, o/u 37.5
Pains me to say this, but Washington shouldn't be laying points on the road here. Hous +4( 1unit), under 37.5(1 unit)

Chi -3 at Minn, o/u 34
Been on the Minnesota bandwagon all year. BTW, what the hell kind of schedule is it to open open against 3/4 of last year's final 4 NFC playoff teams? No way Minnesota should be a home dog to any team in the entire league...they're so underrated its funny. Jacksonville was too, but maybe not after Monday. Minn +3(5 units), over 34(1 unit)

Car -3 at TB, o/u 34.5
Meh...flip a coin. When in doubt, I'll go with the home team getting points. They both seemed very good last year; They've both been big disappointments this year. As I said, I'll go with the home team getting points. TB +3(1 unit), under 34.5(1 unit)

GB +6.5 at Det, o/u 39
I don't think Detroit is good enough to blow anyone out, so I'll take the points here. GB +6.5(1 unit), under 39(1 unit)

Balt -7 at Cle, o/u 33
Another game I'm rather "coin flippish" about. I went against the Ravens last week and it cost me...not this week. Balt -7(1 unit), over 33(1 unit)

Stl +4.5 at Ariz, o/u 45
St Louis sucks on the road. I was all over SF last week. This line is definitely more fair, but I'll still take Arizona.Ariz -4.5(1 unit), under 45(1 unit)

NYG +4 at Sea, o/u 44.5
Tough game to pick. I think the line should be 3, so I'll take the extra point. NYG +4(1 unit), under 44.5(1 unit)

Philly -6 at SF, o/u 41.5
Philly is one of the more overrated teams in the league. They're simply not a good team, as evidenced by them giving away a game last week. Why are they a TD road favorite? I think this game should be pick 'em. SF +6(5 units), over 41.5(2 units)

Den +6.5 at NE, o/u 39.5
Denver has just looked so bad its tough to go with them. NE -6.5(1 unit), under 39.5(1 unit)

Atl -3 at NO, o/u 42
I'm going to hold off on the Monday night game for now....will pick later in the week

[/ QUOTE ]Play on the year. lol. How is Tenn not a favorite in this game? Are the oddsmakers already assuming Joey will play? I am stacked up heavily against Miami and I will be all year as long as Daunte is playing or until the lines adjust dramatically. I have nicknamed Daunte "retirement fund" as he is going to be the one building mine. I had to suffer through too many years of his horrid play as a Viking fan. Miami now gets to see how bad this guy is. He was the most overrated player in the league by a HUGE margin. The way the ball just fell out of his hand last week was priceless. it is nice to see him detroy a different team for a change.

be even more impressive if u were betting the ML.

I love because Phili lost late to the Giants they suck yet...Minni barely beat either Car or Wash...both two average teams in their current state..and yet they should be favorites over any team at home.

Minn is no where near as good as you seem to believe and Phili is no where near as bad.

[/ QUOTE ]So what happened last week? I've been telling people all year that Philly is overrated and Minnesota and Jacksonville were underrated?

How come last week wasn't a "wake up call" for you? If Philly wins and Minnesota loses as you predict then do I get to say "Oh well...but week 4 will be a wake up call for you"? How about admitting that you were wrong regarding last week?

I am pretty sure that I didnt say anything about either team last week, so I don't know what you are referring too.
To say that Philly is bad because they gave up a lead late is just strange. They were a play away from winning 34-7 and if Carolina doesnt try the fake punt, they probaly win.... so then what, now suddenly Philly is great and Minn can't beat a good team without there second best player.
Those games are the ultimate of judging teams by who won.
Are you saying that MIN will win this week and PHI will lose, because I will go on record to say that neither will happen. This doesn't mean that I think that MIN is bad, but not nearly as good as the other top teams.

How exactly can a team that has been ranked to finish last in their division almost every NFL publication months prior to the start of the season be considered overrated???

Minn barely won in OT against a team that got completly destroyed the week prior and is in complete disarray.

Phili dominated the Giants for 3 quarters then had a meltdown with fumbles etc in the final quarter...and the Giants pulled of a miracle comeback.
The Giants are a superior team than either Car or Wash or even Minn.

Why would last week be a wakeup call for either team?

If Minn puts a beat down on Chi then yes its a wakeup call...that would be impressive
If Phili gets up by 14 points on SF in the 4th quarter and lose in OT then yes its a wakeup call on Phili. Neither outcome is likely...so Phili will remain a very good team in a tough division and Minnsota will remain a solid team in a lousy division.

And how was I wrong about last week?


"
your kidding about the being one of the best teams right?
they aren't even the best team in their own division.--TRUE

they beat a crappy team without their star player-portis at 100%.
and they barely beat them...squeaked by--TRUE

both teams looked crappy.--TRUE

I don't see Carolina being as good as everyone says, SB bound etc, but there is no way Minn is a better team than Carolina...Carolina is just [censored] right now cuz of Steve Smith's injury. --TRUE"

Minn won in OT field goal...honestly...with a healthy Steve Smith you don't think that greatly affects the outcome?

Like I've said all along...Minn is a solid team...but until they dominate or at least win by a TD against a good team you can't call them great or one of the best teams in the league. Nothing stands out about them
great qb-no
great rb-no
great wr-no
great def-no

their solid all around n dont make many mistakes.

so far and have gone against two teams who were missing their star player and who are in disarray and not playing well--both times they sqeaked a win out at the end of the game with 3 points.
