TB did the same thing, no?

They give teams the short stuff and rarely, rarely ever rush more than 4 and even more rarely blitz more than 5.  The underneath stuff is always open. They are not a great pass rushing team AT ALL.They are good against the run but not AS GOOD as they are perceived to be. Offenses can move the ball against them. Don't get caught up in stats.

BOL luck tonight, saying Skeleton is better then Smith is like saying you would rather me punch you in the neck over  kicking you in nuts.

A lot of us won on Denver last night, and that was the popular public play.  People who disagree with taking the non-public team now are always quick to say that those who are against it (like Cardinals backers today) are stupid and only fading the public.  I dont pay attention to where more money is, but I am guessing that my big wins yesterday (Giants and Denver) were both "public" plays, and that my Cardinals play tonight is not

There's just no way in hell I can put my money on Skelton and AZ even laying a TD. I am actually surprised to see as many people on AZ as I do. I would take SF at 8-9 even.

Lawson- you sound a little cocky after your 9-1 week or whatever. great week but don't get trapped.. You already posted smith is a good QB we both know thats not true. He was shit without the new head coach. 

Its a tough game to pick tonight IMO either way you go.

Not a tough game at all in my opinion (I already said Niners would win by double digits) but I appreciate you saying I sound cocky. Not just 1 good week also. I'm only trying to help others make money for them and their loved ones instead of giving it to the book by taking Arizona and Skelton.

After the Niners play hits I will refrain from posting my plays on this site and just post in other people's threads wishing them well and chop it up with the pbox homies.

Stuck at home with a hurricane, and probably had too much to drink already.  Talk me off the Cards, LJ.


are you back in new york or are you down here in baltimore

LJ you have my vote come November.  I am SO CLOSE to putting a 5unit bomb on Niners because of your post.  BUT me tailing Covers posts has about a 1-12 trend going itself.  But if I tailed ME, I would cashout the nickel and just watch the game, but thats not gambling and going to happen.  Love your take and no doubt I hit submit.  Good luck.

Before Harbaugh got there I dont even think alex smiths mom would say hes a good qb lol Before harbaugh alex smiths hands were too small to play qb.Remember that everyone.Did they all of a sudden grow a inch ummm no.Hes just put into a better system in which he still leaves you scratching your head sometimes on some decisions he makes.I wont touch this spread but I do believe it will be a game of more field goals than touchdowns.So ill take the under 38

First off, Denver was not public play, Saints were, Betting Drew Brees at +6 was very public, why do you think moneyline went from +240 to +180.

As for this game, I like 49ers -7. At first look the 49ers appear public square play, Smith being overated, but Arizona has lot injuries offense, running back, tight end, offensive line.Smith struggled against good defenses, Seattle, Giants, but these are teams that forced 49ers pass.  Arizona's run defense horrible, Docket not 100%. Smith solid when Gore gets going, and if Rams run over Arizona I think SF.

I haven't been watching Arizona, but when I looked back into their history, how did they win against Seattle? And why did San Fran have such a hard time playing against them? 7 pts seem like arizona can keep up. LJ, how much do you like San Fran? I like that they have more weapons but espn said they seem to always do better at home. Scared of San fran's turnovers...
