am i the only one considering the rams in that game, maybe im over estimating what steven jackson can do, but i feel getting 3 at home vs cleveland might be good enough

No, I don't see any reason to lay points on the road with Cleveland either. I'm waiting and hoping for 3.5 at least.

I think the cle/stl line is well set. I'm setting myself up to get burned by philly once again, but hey, can I help it if they're just not playing up to their talent level? The other line I considered was the SF ML. Passed on it as college opportunities are better this week than anything in the NFL, but may put a bet in before the game. I actually like Was to beat the ridiculous spread as well.

It's because Cle has taken it up the ass in domes like forever now, and this is NFL. Of the few teams StL can beat at home, Cle is one of them. In fact, Cle can beat themselves while the Rams just watch and win.

How about PHI -1 ??? I don't think any Vikes QB passes to wide open receivers over the middle like Griese did last week. Eagles need this game and have experience to win it. McNabb may not look pretty this week, but he and Westbrook will make the crucial plays at right times...

im staying away from this one. im a big eagles/ pats fan and have been following the slow death of the eagles. that aside the big game they gave up to thomas jones and the jets concerns me. i just dont like their run d in general. if minn decides to let adrian peterson have a lot of carries this could be a tough one for the eagles.

Now, I changed my Cleveland bet to just the OVER.

Apparently, bookie had taken a lotta action on that side and wanted me to cancel [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

The only bets I've ever placed have been either in casinos or offshore books, so take this with a grain of salt, but that seems like a load of BS to me.

If your bookie already confirmed your bet and then calls you to cancel later, I'd either be telling him that's not going to cut it or I'd be looking for a new bookie.

It's not your problem that he decided he's taking too much action on that side after he already confirmed your bet. Unless this is something where he just realized it right after accepting and called you right back or something. If he's asking you to cancel as a favor, that's different. It sounds like you're saying that he's making you cancel though, in which case this sounds pretty wrong to me.

Anyone like NYG/Mia u48? Long trip, playing in a strange place, NYG def is solid, etc... The long trip is what does it for me.

Does that really matter though?

I mean, when is the last time Cle has been this good and Stl has been this bad? I think Cle covers here easy but I am kinda scared because of how low the line is.

Why has the line not moved on the Indy/Car game? From what I can tell people are hitting Indy at -7 pretty hard. Does Vegas know something that I don't know?

[colonel81]

im not sure what scenarios would have to play out for the cleveland game to hit the under. clevelands last 5 games have been all been over 50 except for one and that was against baltimore in which they still put up 27. Both Teams are in the bottom five in scoring d with cleveland giving up 30 and st louis 27 per game. Over 45 seems like an obvious play as long as St. Louis can into the endzone.

Anyone else think Detroit @ Chicago will be a similar game and is on the Over 45. Chicago's secondary is still decimated and they are giving up 24 a game and Detroit's D is giving up 28 a game. I like this game to be along the lines of a 31-24 type game as well.

I'm with you on both of those games. I got Browns/Rams at over 44.5 and Lions/Bears at over 43.5. Also a parlay of Browns -2, Browns/Rams Over 23 for the first half.
