Season Record 28-22-3
LastWk 3-3-1
Tough card this week, but heres who I like:
Week 8 Winners:
New England -3 (@ Pittsburgh)
In recent memory, the New England Patriots have been dominant over the Pittsburgh Steelers, namely Tom Brady dominating the Steelers Defense. Bill Bellichick is also 6-0 in his last 6 Games following their Bye Week and when were talking Future Hall of Famers like Bill, I LOVE those kinda Streaks! This Game could turn into a BIG TIME Shootout, in fact I think ill be playing the OVER 51, still waiting to make the play but I'm 'at worst' going to Tease it down. NONE of the Steelers Wins this season have impressed me AT ALL, theyve come against teams like Seattle, Indy, Tennessee, Jacksonville, and Arizona (Barely Beating Jax n Indy!), Like i Said NOTHING Impressive AT ALL!! Meanwhile, theyre still one of the oldest teams in the League and banged up, with Hines Ward probably OUT this week (Emmanuel Sanders will Start in his place, while Antonio Brown will rotate and play the Slot WR). Bens got some weapons this year though on his Vertical Passing Game, while Mike Wallace has emerged as a Top10 WR, and Brown/Sanders provide solid WRs with PLUS SPeeD as secondary and third options. Mendenhall just hasnt impressed me though this season, he just doesnt do anything great, he just does everything "OK", hes a solid Back but hes certainly NOT a "Game Breaking" RB. New England hopefully spent the Bye Week gettin reps for their VERY Talented/Speedy Rookie RB Stevan Ridley, and Im hoping Chad Ochocinco spent the Bye Week BURIED in his Playbook and im hoping we get an Ochocinco sighting! I HONESTLY could see Chad racking up 5 grabs for 50 Yds w/ a Score. Im expecting Bradys 2 Dynamic TightEnds to do what they do and rack up about the same lines as Chad, but in Gronkowskis last Steelers Game he racked up 3 TD's, i could see him hauling in 2 TDs with about 65-80 Yds this Sunday. Welker will put up his "Typical" 9 Catches, 145 Yds, 1 TD... I expect Tom Brady to disperse 3-5 TDs on the Steelers Pass Defense (which I KNOW is VERY Good on Paper, but Seattle, Indy, and Jax HORRENDOUS Passing Offenses will SKEW their Defensive Numbers BIG TIME!!!), which I personally feel is VERY Overrated, Tom Terrific will EXPOSE them! Ben will throw for 2-3 Himself and both should go OVER 300 Yards Passing... (Laying 3 Units on NE-3 / Laying 2 Units on OVER 51)
Denver +3.5 (Vs Detroit)
Detroits clock struck midnight a few weeks ago versus the 49ers. Their Running Game is CRAP, their QB is injured, and their D-Line is getting the Reputation as "Dirty" (which could enduce some Personal Foul Flags). Despite Detroits DLine being FEROCIOUS Versus the Passing Game, they do struggle against the Rush, with the Wide-9 being exposed as a POOR Rush Defense. Though Willis McGahee is OUT, I expect Knowshon Moreno to have a BIG Day! Moreno will be Running for an increased workload and Willis will be OUT for a couple weeks so this is Morenos ONLY shot to basically 'audition' for the Job, i expect the former 1st Rounder to Step Up BIG with a 125 Yd Game.... and then theres Tim Tebow (im "Tebowing" while writing this, lol - JK! Tim will neutralize the DLines pass rush with his ability to Break the Pocket and make plays out of Nothing. Tims had 4 Starts in the NFL and Last week was BY FAR his Worst to Date, I expect him to improve upon lastwks stinker big time this weekend. Tebow will account for 300 TOTAL Yards (passing/rushing) and 2-3 TDs. Demaryius Thomas had 10 Targets last week and i expect him to have a solid game, while him and Tim build report. Denvers not as bad as their 2-Win record would suggest, as theyve been in almost ALL of their Games at some point in the 4th Quarter. Detroit should NOT be going on the Road into a HOSTILE Mile High Stadium LAYING Points! MoMorris is NOT Jahvid Best and Stafford is one BIG Shot away from being OUT. Megatron is awesome but if u can somehow slow him down, Stafford REALLY Struggles to get it going. Put simply- if you're One-Dimensional in the NFL- You're in BIG Trouble, and the Lions currently are! (Laying 2 Units)
(3 Team Teaser): NE@Pitt OV41 / Baltimore -2.5 / Houston PK
I already explained the first leg, but I LOVE Houston and Baltimore to Win their games, but I dont necessarily see them covering the BIG Number. Jacksonvilles Defense is DEF Legit! Houstons coming off of a Shellacking of the Titans which worries me, but the Jags are also coming off of a VERY Impressive Win vs the Ravens on MNF. I WISH Andre Johnson were back here, I might lay the 10, but hes not. Arian Foster will set the tone and Houstons OLine might be the BEST in the League. Arian will set up the Play Action Pass for Schaub to hit his fav target Owen Daniels, while Jacoby should grab one "Big Play" of 30+ Yards... Houston should easily Win this one! The Ravens are PISSED OFF and @ Home. Arizonas Defense is NOT EVEN CLOSE to the Jaguars and Flacco will look MUCH Better! Plus i expect Harbaugh to give Ray Rice MORE THAN 8 Freaking Carries!! Baltimore MURDERED St Louis after their Wk2 Let down to the Titans- I expect some of the Same this week! (Laying 3 Units)
Thats it for me- FOR NOW! lol... I'll 100% be adding MORE Plays this week. I'm definitely Playing the SNF and MNF Games and I'm probably gonna play the Cinci @ Seattle Game, plus the Buffalo Vs Skins Game intrigues me. Im just working out the angles before I make them Official Plays.
Best of Luck to ALL !!!!
Those WITH Me !!!!
Those AGAINST Me !!!!
