NFL Plays

It's week 8 already! I think I have a decent idea of what's going on. I think ya take Atlanta to bounce back at home this week vs the Packers. Atlanta still has that dynamic offense, but leaky defense. They made a bad decision in OT last week to lose by 3 to San Diego, and let's hope they've learned from it. Last year they had a major meltdown and just faded completely in the end.  Now they have lost two in a row, but by one point on the road to one of the top teams, and then to the Chargers who are definitely the best 3-4 team in the league. I know their defense is shaky, but their offense is great. I really do think Atlanta is much better this year, due to the play of Matt Ryan. Last year he was just kind of bad, and now this year he has gone ape shit with stats.   Green Bay is very injured, and just not that good this year, and I will continue to say that, most probably.

** ATLANTA -2.5(-135) vs GREEN BAY
I'm buying it down, and I suggest that, or maybe ML, for insurance

Predicted Score : Falcons 38 Packers 27

I also think you load on New England this week at the Bills.  The Pats just got shut out at home this year, for the first time in a long while, by the Bills. Now, the Patriots always seem to get revenge on their division foes, especially Buffalo. In this game, they really will be seeking to shed blood, and now they have Brady playing, and not a third string rookie QB. Watch out!  I could see New England in a shut out this time. I've seen that story before

 *** NEW ENGLAND -6 at BUFFALO

Predicted Sxore ; Pats 30 Bills 17

COLLEGE FOOTBALL PLAY

** LOUISIANA TECH +3(-130)   VS   WESTERN KENTUCKY

I'm still trying to figure out why La Tech is  an underdog at home in this match.  I guess it must be that they have given up a lot of points and W. Kentucky hasn't really, and they play better defense than Tech, usually.  Well, the Bulldogs can play in defensive battles, because they lost a 21-20 nail biter to Arkansas earlier in the season.  I know they blew a rather late lead, but they're not supposed to be able to win a road game like that.  You know what "they" say.  If it seems too obvious, then stay away, or go the other way.  As much as I see it as going with the obvious, I just can't find a reason to not like the Bulldogs at home tonight.  Especially, because the last time they played the Hilltoppers at home 2 years ago, they stomped them 59-10, and in last year's match in W. Kentucky, they lost in a shootout by 3.  It seems as if this game could be a lot like that one, so I will take the 3 just in case La Tech can't pull it out.  I really think they win, though.  Another nice fact, is that W. Kentucky has lost one game at home in five years, so they are really good there, and not as much on the road, and the Bulldogs barely lost last year.  I think Tech is a little better this year, and they have given up a lot of points, but it was to some very high scoring teams.  As I said, they hung in a defensive battle in Arkansas.  The last home game the Hilltoppers lost was to Vanderbilt, and we know that's not really an SEC team.  This should be a real good game.  I will be watching this and not the weak NFL game that will be on too.  GO BULLDOGS!
