HOUSTON (-20.5) over Marshall
Chicago at TAMPA BAY: UNDER 43.5
Kansas City at OAKLAND: OVER 41.5

That NC game is a nice pick. Clemson is going to stumble at some point and NC could do it.

Thanks. I think that tight Miami game is going to get UNC back on track.

You really like KC/OAK OVER, given the QB situation?

I was thinking of BAL/JAX UNDER 40. Should be :easy: unless Baltimore gets 2 or 3 TDs on defense (which is possible).

Yeah KC is tops in the league in TD's given up...McFadden is going to destroy them. Cassel's been hot lately too.

Yeah, but KC has only allowed 20.3 PPG in their last 3. It's those first 2 games that inflate the numbers. I understand about McFadden, assuming Palmer is any threat. I just think I'd steer clear. Maybe you're right though.

Just food for thought...teams are 1-6 SU after the Bye this year.

Yep that is because teams have to give players 4 consecutive days off. That with the lockout is the key reason why.

Well if McFadden wouldn't have gotten hurt....would have been a much different game.

Yeah. Maybe Boller and Palmer would have only combined for 4 INTs and 1 pick-6 if McFadden was healthy. ;)

The pick 6's are big time helpers for the overs though....if Oakland could have only managed 10 points and KC got one more TD...it would have been golden.

22-13 on the year.

By the way...no one in the group went 5-0 last week....so the pot carries over and will have at the very least $1261 in it :nod:

Stick to gambling like that? Son, I'm 22-13 on the year. Hopefully 27-13 and the only one to go 5-0 next week so I can be $1261 richer.

Actually, that is 62.9%.

60% is the standard for making a living wagering on sports. 62 - almost 63 - percent is very good.

47.5 is a big total in the NFL.

Sportsbook doesn't have that Detriot game. That is a sure win IMO.

I don't like the over either but the others I do. GL

Both teams give up crazy amounts of red zone touchdowns. One offense is average, another is above-average.

Minnesota 31
Carolina 24

I understand, but you are talking about a game with 2 rookie quarterbacks. We'll see, I dunno.

Good luck.

Case Keenum is insane. Good start to the Pick 5.

Carolina is allowing almost 360 yards per game, with 225 of those coming through the air. Minnesota has the NFL's No. 29-ranked pass defense.

Newton will probably throw for 400 again :D I even went back and looked at a few things to see if I could change my mind, and I'm gonna stick with it...live or die :D
