Game 1 : St.Louis Rams vs Dallas Cowboys
Rams: St.Louis is in pretty rough shape. Bradford has a high left angle sprain and is in a walking boot
The struggling Rams offensive line could be hard-pressed to contain reigning NFL sack leader DeMarcus Ware, who has seven to tie for the league's third-highest mark in 2011.
The Rams are dead last in average points per game at 9.8. Defensively St. Louis is 30th in average yards allowed per game at 403.4 and second to last in points allowed at 27.4 but in all fairness to this unit they have been on the field too often as the offense has failed to put together drives or even gain first downs
Cowboys: The Cowboys are tied for 30th in the league in red-zone touchdown efficiency at 33.3 percent, with only the Rams faring worse at 25.0 percent.
Dallas's chances of making the playoffs at this point are looking grim unless they turn some things around, and turn things around is just what they are going to do heading into the rest of the Season. Dallas has a pretty soft schedule from here on out.
The Cowboys’ defense is fifth in the NFL in yards allowed at 307.6 per game but they are 19th when it comes to points allowed at 24.2 while totaling 16 sacks, five fumble recoveries, and six interceptions. Sean Lee has 47 tackles, DeMarcus Ware has seven sacks, and Orlando Scandrick is returning from injury and he looks like he is going to be a force this season.
Maestro's Pick: Although the Cowboys have had a rough season. They blew second half leads in each of their three losses this season. There is nothing convincing about the Rams. Although the line is a little high and I am not a fan of Romo. I will take the cowboys at -10 (bought 0.5).
Cowboys -10

Not worth it mathematically to buy a .5 point though
Agreed. There are margins of victory that come up more often than others, and 11 is not one of them. If you're going to buy points, get the line down to numbers like: -2.5, -6.5, -9.5, and so on.
My gut is saying STL to cover the ridiculous spread (IMO), but I made the decision to stay away from this game all together (had thoughts of making a play on STL).

I think Dallas blows them out. Romo throws 3 td's and Dallas rolls. You're all right. The spread is ridiculous but I just have this gut feeling the Rams get destroyed.
Cowboys have 3 major weapons in the passing game and the Rams pass defense is horrendous.
Cowboys----34 Rams----17

Yea i meant to buy a point i was just in a hurry when the line came out to get to work. Stuipid on my part. Just wanted to lock in the bet before the line went up
I will have more picks coming up. Just haven't had time to do the write ups but i have 3 games locked in already.

Washington Redskins:The Washington Redskins (3-2 SU, 3-2 ATS) have lost two of its last three games including a 20-13 loss to Philadelphia in Week 6 as a 3-point home underdog .Washington is 23rd in scoring offense. The Washington Redskins have turned to a new quarterback for their week seven tilt. Rex Grossman was very ineffective in the loss to Washington, so Mike Shanahan turned to John Beck. Washington is in need of a lift on the offensive side, where they are picking up 341 yards per game.A problem with this Washington team in the past has been winning games on the road. Will they provide enough offense to be able to beat the Panthers?
Carolina Panthers :The Carolina Panthers (1-5 SU, 4-2 ATS) have lost three straight including its 31-17 loss to Atlanta in Week 6 as a 3.5-point road underdog. The Newton to Steve Smith combo has been one of the most exciting tandems this season, and the offense can be tough when the running game gets it going. The Panthers are 4-0 ATS in their last four home games and 7-1-1 ATS in their L/9 games as a favorite of 3.0 points or less.
Maestro's Pick: The skins are ranked 3rd in points allowed defensively but they’re also in rough shape offensively as they only average 19.2 points per game. Cam Newton is ten times better than either of Washington’s two mediocre quarterbacks, Rex Grossman or John Beck (who is starting). I am leaning with the impressive panthers to squeak out the win. I know with a 1-5 record I shouldn’t but they have impressed me more then the redskins have this season. I don’t believe their record is as good as it indicated.
Carolina Panthers -1 ( Pinnacle sports)

I thought the OP bought a 1/2 point so that he doesn't lose @ 10.

Maestro's Pick: It may not be needed but i bought 3 points to make it -6.5. The 3 points may not be needed . I think Packers are going to take this by double digits like they have in their 5 of 6 games. Antoine Winfield out, New Qb starting. Minnesota have only covered the spread once in their last 5 games. I am going with the Pack -6.5
Good Luck to you all ! Nothing better during the week then football on Sunday. I apologize for posting late and will post earlier next week. Hope your all having a great weekend

Good luck this week. Don't think you needed to buy the points with the Packers, as I see them cruising Sunday. Packers will blitz Ponder all day, and their 3-4 defense is a lot better than the soft cover-2 shell for the Bears in the fourth quarter last weekend. My only concern is the Packers secondary - they're not good, and they're banged up; I believe they're something like 30th in the league. This would be an issue for GB if Minnesota had adequate receivers, but Percy Harvin is their only decent weapon. Berrian hasn't been targeted much, and dropping balls when he gets the chance. Aromashodu and Camarillo don't scare me.
Green Bay will once-again key on Adrian Peterson this week, and make sure to stay in their gaps so they do not over-pursue and give up lanes on the back-side. They'll have to keep Shiancoe and Rudolph in front of them. I think that'll be the gameplan.
Good luck bud.

PackFan12 : I use Pinnacle to bet. I get my lines in early, actually the line for the panthers game was -1 last night. Cowboys game i got right away before i created an account. Love that game. And buying 3 points for the packers was unnecessary. Vikings have a strong defense that has underperformed in several games this season and they are coming off a blowout loss.
it’s hard to envision the Vikings stealing this one with their new quarterback, but stranger things have happened.
Minnesota might be able to take advantage of Green Bay’s most notable weakness – pass defense. As it stands, the Packers are giving up nearly 300 yards per game -- good for 31st in the league -- to opponents. In their last game versus the Rams, specifically, they allowed that completely disheveled bunch to rack up 424 total yards
I know Ponder is the QB. I think this is a blowout game, i just bought the 3 to be safe.
