Healthy Portis will not help them with Brunell playing scared like he is. They may lose @ Houston this week. They need to get thier sh1t together. Havn't seen the spreads for this week, but it's looking ugly.

Carolina at Tampa Bay 1:00 p.m.
Chicago at Minnesota 1:00 p.m.
Cincinnati at Pittsburgh 1:00 p.m.
Green Bay at Detroit 1:00 p.m.
Jacksonville at Indianapolis 1:00 p.m.
N.Y. Jets at Buffalo 1:00 p.m.
Tennessee at Miami 1:00 p.m.
Washington at Houston 1:00 p.m.
Baltimore at Cleveland 4:05 p.m.
N.Y. Giants at Seattle 4:15 p.m.
Philadelphia at San Francisco 4:15 p.m.
St. Louis at Arizona 4:15 p.m.

Atlanta at New Orleans

I'll post my guesses right now and then look at vegasinsider.com and getthe real spreads in my next post.
Carolina 3
Chicago 1 1/2
Pittsburgh 1
Detroit 3 1/2
Indy 7 1/2
Buffalo 4
Miami 6
Houston 1
Baltimore 4 1/2
Seattle 4 1/2
Philly 3 1/2
Zona 3
New England 5
Atlanta 3

Here are the lines at Vegasinsider.com as of right now

Carolina 3
Chicago 3
Pittsburgh no line posted yet
Detroit 6 1/2
Indy no line posted yet
Buffalo 6
Miami 11
Washington 4
Baltimore 7
Seattle 4
Philly 6
Zona 4 1/2
New England 6 1/2
Atlanta 3

I do this each week as a mental exercise. I'm in a year long pool at a restaurant/bar here and you have to pick every game agaisnt the spread. In cases where I am way off on the line with my guess I always take the team in my pool that is getting way more points than I thought. Im 18-14 so far this year against the spread in my pool.
Based on my guesses, I automatically have to take San Francisco, Green Bay, Tennesee, Houston and Cleveland. Other games I missed by two points or less and just have to choose a side.

MIke - at first glance Atlanta looks good this week

[whorstman]

Yeah, Atlanta looks good too. Saints are getting better, but road wins against Browns and Packers? I also like Miami, I know 11 is a lot, but Tenn has NOTHING. Enjoy your first win Dolphins. I may even go with the Ravens again, and hell, while I'm at it... DAHH BEARS. I'll take a guess at these games and see how I do.

Bears 24-10
Dolphins 30-13
Ravens 27-6
Falcons 24-17

I'll probably take 3 of these and 2 college for another 20 spot. I think I may do a teaser with these 4, I dunno. I'll be checking injury reports and such, so this may be subject to change.

I'm far from an expert on football. I never bet sports and only participate in a yearly pik em all each week pool down at a restaurant here.

Clinton portis will help brunell and if you can't realize that then you shouldn't be betting football. Redskins have zero running game right now so the onus is on brunell to win football games. Thats not going to happen. Teams are blitzing like hell and playing the pass, they dont have to respect the run or play action. Talk about making defense easy. With clinton back and healthy that offense will look much much better.

Come on,Dixie dude, I like this Oracle guy, but he did nothing here but re-state the obvious.

Plus he has picked Notre Dame to cover each of the last three weeks.
They have covered once, were all out to squeeze by a so-so G Tech and were pummelled by a lowly rated Michigan team.

I like his racing opinions much better.

Hey Oracle--are you going Hollywood with Mr.Pletcher?
Those tracks and running style may well ruin a lot of nice horseflesh.

But they are very lenient about drugs out there.
