Panthers -3

I think Carolina is giong to win this at home....

it just seems a little to easy....

both teams run the football well so I would initially lean towards the UNDER... but Miami has been putting points up every week... only NE held them to under 20....

probably going to stay away from the total...

GL TO ALL!

I'm with everybody so far - I think the Panthers are for real & Miami's Wildcat "gimmick" is wearing thin. Panthers by a bunch.

Couple of thoughts on this game:

Panthers -3 is disrespectful to the Fins. So the books are saying that these 2 teams are even? Is you kiddin me?

Joey Porter should be back. Thankfully it will be in a very limited role.  thank you Coach T for being a big enough man to put to this fool in his place. Miami is now playing defense with 11 men. With Charlie Anderson and pass rushing demon Cameron Wake in the game, the Dolphins pass rush drastically is better.

Ronnie Browns loss is HUGE. However, I is still much anxious to see what Reefer Ricky and Pat White will do with expanded playing time.   

Play the OVER!! My book has it at 42.5. I think you'll find yourself around 30 at halftime with the home team down. Carolina will be forced to fight back and may or may not win, but will score trying. I'm not sold on the wildcat, but Henne, Ginn, & Williams are a nice trio to bet with. If Carolina had more consistent QB play, I would find myself on the other side of this equation. (Yes I saw the horrible throw Henne made Sunday, but he bounced back and won)  

I like Miami to cover... I think they win outright, on the road, against a weaker NFC opponent! I think Vegas would like you to think Atlanta is somehow comparable to the Saints, but this just isn't conceivable. If Miami does lose, I don't think they lose by more than a field goal. (My book has the line at 3.5)

NFL Network... The NFL runs this shit. They like viewers and won't let them down. This should be a nice rebound game from Monday. Holy HELL!!! I knew it would be bad, but not that bad!!!

Miami - 24                              Carolina - 21

Dolphins +3                  over 42.5

Going with the fish to pull off a mild upset on tobacco road..

Over McGrumpy

I believe you hit this one on the nose Colonel.  How have ya been by the way?  I see it at 45 and 3 points either way also so might as well go with the dog.

Miami +3

Over 42'

GL all,

Dan Henning wants revenge for John Fox blaming the 2006 season on him & will have some tricks up his sleeve to make Fox look bad. Miami is also 3-0 all time against the Panthers.

Miami-27     Carolina-20   Miami-3 Over 42.5

I like this game more and more... I'm putting my play in now, so I can lock in the line/total. I think it will move a little tomorrow and I like it right where it is. I've watched both teams play a couple of times and I am simply going off a gut feeling and not a "trend" or particular stat. 

I'd like to take a moment and express my deep admiration for NFL Redzone (Channel 82 for all you Dish Customers). If you have the opprotunity/means to purchase the channel, do it. It's worth it! No commercials, every score is shown live (if possible), and up to the second stats & scores make it a degenerate's bestfriend. No sales pitch here, as I have zero affiliation with either the NFL or Dish for that matter, but I am one that likes to spread the word if there is a particular product, or service that I feel is exceptional. 

Final play(s)...  Ov 42.5 ($2) & Miami +3.5 ($1)

Good Luck to ALL!!  

With these Thur games the team that has to do less traveling benefits from a short week. Ronnie Brown WAS the wildcat. This will hurt. The Panthers injury report looks Belichicklike. The over and home team usually takes the Thur thunder. Delhomme has been removed from the equation offensivewise. Lets get that large with CAR and OV.
