THIS WEEKEND'S PLAYS

COLLEGE FOOTBALL WEEK 7

* NORTHWESTERN -3.5  at   MINNESOTA

NFL WEEK 6  MONEY PLAY

*** ATLANTA  -9   vs   OAKLAND

The Falcons are a very focused, well coached team, who are probably the best team in football inside their dome.  The Raiders, on the other hand, are just a complete mess of a franchise.  I mean where does one even start to begin?  They are coming off a bye, but that doesn't scare me because I don't think they're well coached at all, being the fact they have a dynamic RB and are averaging a mere 60.8 YPG.  They obviously don't know how to utilize the little talent they do have on offense.  Atlanta's offense will pose a problem for just about any defense in the Georgia Dome, not that Oakland's is any good.

PREDICTED SCORE :  FALCONS 38  RAIDERS 20

THURSDAY NIGHT NFL GAME

I have been listening more to the Las Vegas ESPN radio on my Android device and I've heard a female handicapper, Kelly in vegas (Kellyinvegas on twitter).  Her and another woman have a free site called hottiehandicappers.com.  I read her piece on the play with Rams +1.5 tonight.  She thought the Rams would be able to play well and stop the Cardinals light offense, but also mentioned how they love the home dogs this year.  She also said that 74 % of the betting public is on the Cardinals, so that helps her play.  Understand this bettors and such handicappers, no trend, and I mean no trend at all, such as betting against a side because a big majority went the other way, will help your play.  In fact, once you do your research and make your bet, it's out of your control.  Nothing helps you, and sometimes the "public" are smart bettors who have been picking games for a very long time.  So good luck to both sides tonight.  I actually lean toward the Cardinals to win tonight in a sort of a slug match.  Ryan Williams is getting the start at RB, due to Stephens-Howling being hurt, and I think that is a good opportunity for them to get the run game and whole offense going.  St. Louis has a solid shot at pulling the upset, though

ANOTHER COLLEGE FOOTBALL WEEK 6 MONEY PLAY

*** OKLAHOMA  -5   at   TEXAS TECH

The Sooners are coming off an extra week's rest and seeking revenge on the Red Raiders from last year.  This is the type of game Stoops' teams come up big in.  Right after their first loss of the season, which gives them a lesser chance of playing in the game that they wanted to.  I also think this will be a reality check for Tech, because they haven't played anybody yet.

NFL WEEK 5 PLAY

* MIAMI +3.5   at  CINCINNATI

I think Tannehill and this team are still better than what most think.  I know this may not seem to be so bold, but I think this Dolphins team, with this rookie QB, will go into Cincy on their second consecutive road trip and win.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL GAME OF THE WEEK

*** BOSTON COLLEGE   at   ARMY
Not that this will be one of the featured games or a don't miss, but this is my play of the week.  BC is not too good, but they play in the ACC and have been somewhat competitive.  Army, on the other hand, probably wouldn't be able to stay within 10 points of any team in that conference.  They can score a little, but I personally don't think they could stop a high school team.

PREDICTED SCORE : GOLDEN EAGLES 41  BLACK KNIGHTS 21

TO JAY CUTLER :

Oh Jay, you poor, dumb, diabetic piece of stool.  Who in the hell do you think you are?  You haven't ever won anything, you waste of a great talent, and even if you had, nothing excuses your attitude.  Even if you don't agree with what a coach is telling you, you don't walk away.  It's called respect, and leading by example.  The guys that win in this league, or any league if that, follow the rules, respect their teammates and coaches at all times possible, and are modest.  Ask Aaron Rodgers, ask Drew Brees, or Tom Brady.  It's a shame too, because you had a great game last night and you have an unbelievable talent, but you won't ever win shit because you're not a true leader and don't have what it takes to be a champion, in my opinion.  Your Bears are pretty good, but I'd take a QB with a better head on his shoulders or a real team where everyone gets credit for winning.  Good luck asshole.

NFL MONDAY NIGHT PLAY

** DALLAS  vs  CHICAGO  over 41

I typically never bet on game totals.  Maybe  4 or 5 times in my life, usually for recreation.  These two teams have gun-slinging QBs, which may not get the best protection, but have good RBs and WRs.  Guys like Peppers for the Bears and Marcus Spears and DeMarcus Ware for the Cowboys are playing this game banged up.  That should tell you there could be more points than usual, and I think it would go at least 43 anyway. 

PREDICTED SCORE : 27-23 EITHER WAY.   ENJOY!
