$ $ $ $ $ NFL WEEK 4 ** MONEY PLAY $ $ $ $ $

I am now officially upgrading my Minnesota -3 play, which is what I got it at on my site, to a * * Money Play.

NFL WEEK 4 PICKS

*Minnesota   -1.5   at   Kansas City                - So they didn't look too bad last week on the road, but that was against a division foe.  Doesn't count, basically.  This team has problems, with their best offensive and defensive players out and Cassel playing like dog shit, they are just not good.  On the other side, the Vikings are not very good, but not bad at all.  In fact, their rush D has looked pretty dang good son.  They are winless and they finally get to play a not so tough opponent.


Predicted Score : Vikings 24  Chiefs 14


*Buffalo -3   at   Cincinnatti

*Baltimore -3   vs   N.Y. JETS

NFL WEEK 3 PICK

Almost forgot about this one....


*Baltimore -4.5   at   St. Louis

I think the Ravens will definitley bounce back this week after their no-show last week.  The Rams are banged up and coming off a short week, and there's not much to plea their case.

NFL WEEK 3 PICK

Just do your research and look at the history of this series.  The Bills usually come close in the initial game, and that tells me that Belichek just does much better on teams after a little tape.  This one factor is not at all everything, I mean their TE Hernandez is out and without both of their TE's they're just not as effective.  Being honest, this is the best chance Buffalo has had at breaking this losing streak in forever.  I'll take the Bills with all those points at home, because Fred Jackson, in my eyes, is a 1,200+ rusher this year and can keep Brady off the field.


*Buffalo  +9  vs  New England


and FYI  I put a little something on this game...

NFL WEEK 3 PICK

*Denver  +7  at   Tennessee            I don't think much of Tennessee, even though I know they are not that bad.  I don't expect much consistency from the Titans, and Denver seems to match up pretty darn well with them.  Despite all the injuries the Broncos have I'm still going with them and the points.  So the Titans beat a greatly hungover team in their home opener.  I'm not that impressed, and think they could lay the egg this week.

MORE NFL WEEK 2 PICKS

*Green Bay  -11.5   at   Carolina

Usually I wouldn't pick against a QB I don't know what I'm going to get from, but that's why there's no action on these games.  Well, this isn't the Cardinals secondary and the Packers have had extra days to prepare and Cam Newton will most probablly not look half as good as last week.

Predicted Score : Packers 34  Panthers 13

*Baltimore  - 7.5   at   Tennesee      Predicted Score : Ravens 27  Titans  14

*Houston  -3.5   at   Miami           Predicted Score : Texans 28  Dolphins 17

COLLEGE FOOTBALL WEEK 3 PICK

*Utah  +5.5   at   BYU 


The Utes will most probablly end up winning this one, kids.

NFL MONEY PLAY

**New Orleans  -6.5   vs  Chicago

They will definitely bounce back big in this home opener.  The Chicago victory against the Falcons is a bit deceiving, plus, there is some history here.  We haven't yet had them come to our house since the NFC Champ. loss, and their fans completely insulted ours and showed zero class for a city with great history.  Brees and the boys take that personal.  I think Ingram and the rest of our backfield will get going.  I expect #28 to rush for over 100 yds and score at least 1 TD.


Predicted Score : Saints  28  Bears  14

NFL PICK

*Pittsburgh  - 14.5   vs   Seattle


Ok, well I'll just go ahead and say it.  The Seahawks are fucking terrible and terribly dumb for choosing Tavaris Jackson as their starting QB, but even if they were an average or above average team, nobody wants to play the Steelers this week.  Trust me sons.

Predicted Score :  Steelers  35  Seahawks 13

COLLEGE FOOTBALL MONEY PLAY

**Oklahoma  -3(-140)   at   Florida St


I recommend that if you have a sports betting account online, and they will allow you like mine has allowed me, buy the points down to 3 just in case.  I think Florida St. may be a littlle overrated at this point.  This should be a close game for the most part, but I thimk the Sooners offense will be too much.

Predicted Score :  Sooners 27   Seminoles 17

NFL WEEK 1 MONEY PLAY

** Buffalo +6   at  Kansas City       -  This really doesn't have anything to do with Cassel's broken ribs.  I really think the Bills are going to win, because they have not had any trouble playing in Arrowhead.  They are 2-1 in the last few trips there, and this team is more competitive than people think.  They lost quite a few close games last year, including one against the Chiefs on the road 13-10.  Do your research.  I'll take the points, because it should be competitive

                                                                Predicted Score :  20-16 Bills

NFL WEEK 1 PICKS

* Detroit + 1.5   at  Tampa Bay       Predicted Score:  24-21  Lions

* Houston - 10  vs   Indianapolis    - Trust me, they will get their revenge this Sunday   
                                                        Predicted Score:  35-17  Texans

* Baltimore  ML  vs  Pittsburgh     -  Take the Moneyline because I wouldn't be surprised if it comes down to a point, but I think the Ravens will definitely take this one.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL PICKS

* Mississippi State -7   at   Auburn      - C'mon man, they almost beat em last year.  Nothing against Utah St., because they're not bad, but they are no SEC team.  Auburn returns only 4 starters and are up for a rude awakening this season and it starts this weekend.   Predicted Score: Bulldogs 31  Auburn 17

* Alabama  -11  at  Penn St   -  Predicted Score: Tide 21  Nittany Lions 6

* Notre Dame  -2.5   at  Michigan     - I know the Irish struck out last weekend, but that was because Crist messed up big time.  Rees makes this start and because of him they actually started to come back last week.  They will bounce back this week.   Predicted Score: Irish 24  Wolverines 20

WHAT A FINISH!

Well, I hope y'all were able to see the end of that Maryland  vs  Miami game last night, because it was something.  It's 26-24 Terps and I got Maryland -4, and Miami is on like their own 40 or something, and I'm thinking my chances are slim to none, because they will just stop em or lose.  Sometimes in this business you catch breaks as well as some bad ones.  Dude from Maryland picks it off, and there's like 30 seconds left, and instead of going down, which is the safe and smartest thing to do at that point, he takes it to the house and Mr. Moss gets paid.  I forgot the dude's name, but coach Edsall would have been a lot less calmer when he pulled him aside,  if they hadn't just sealed the victory.  Sometimes it happens like that my friends.

Maryland vs Miami

This was suppossed to be my opening power play - Maryland + 5.5.  Everyone should know what happened to the Canes.  Their QB won't start along with like 7 on D.  Al Golden should be able to do a good job, but he stepped into a BAD situation.  Now Randy Edsall, for Maryland, on the other hand, I think comes from a special breed of coaches, and Miami should have hired him,  and to his benefit they went elsewhere.  Both coaches are making their debut, and with the Terps playing at home and all the turmoil for the Canes, I think they have a huge advantage.  Although the back-up QB playing for Miami started against Maryland at home last year and the Canes won 26-20, that was  in Miami, and that was before Edsall.  So I think it's time for a little revenge.  Watch out for Terp's Sophmore QB Danny O' Brien, who should somewahat light it up, and I expect their D to play well, as well.


*Maryland -3.5   vs   Miami

Predicted Score:  Terps 33  Canes 20

Notre Dame vs South Florida

So, the Bulls pull off the upset and I start my season off with a loss.  First game of the year can be tricky, thats why I listed this as only a ** play, although I liked it a lot and it is college, which I don't wager on too often.  Bottom line is I was dead wrong, because first and foremost I underestimated Skip Holtz and his defense.  Looks like South Florida is a pretty good team and will contend for the Big East title.  So I was caught sleeping on the fact that Crist should not be the starter, and did not think he would be turing the ball over a bunch in the red zone.  It happens like that sometimes.
