Real Men win Green$$$$$$$$$$$$$

No way the Raiders will be able to run the ball on Baltimores top ranked run D. That means they will have to rely on Russel trying to beat Ed Reed and Ray Lewis through the air. Not happening.

Baltimore 17-3

seems like an easy Under unless BAL turns the ball over.

I've been absolutely banking on Oakland unders lately. This will be the yawner of the afternoon (morning for me). I like the Raider's D. UNDER is my play here. I will be posting all my picks for Saturday and Sunday from now on, so I can be documented. Wish me luck.

Both teams are pretty up there in offense

Baltimore ranking 25th in passing and 7th in rushing.

Oakland ranks 27th in passing and 5th in rushing.

Baltimore is ranked 4th in passing defense and 1st in rushing defense.
 
Oakland is ranked 22nd in passing defense and 24th in rushing defense.

Oakland scored 16 points total on below average defenses the Saints and Jets under Tom Cable.  Baltimore scored almost doubled that against 2 top 5 defenses the Titans and Steelers.  I'm going with the Ravens.  GL to all.

Ravens -9

that's not east coast.  the saints are in a diferent time zone and i don't count them as part of the system.

regardless, the play is the ravens.  i got on it on monday or tuesday and was able to get it at -7.  i'd probably feel comfortable playing this one as high as -9.

Ravens 16
 
Raiders 13


My thoughts exactly.  What we have in this game is one shitty offense going up against a good defense, and another shitty offense going up against a good defense.  The Ravens have played 3 very good games at home, which made me want to lean their way, however the underdog in this series has won straight up 3 of the last 4 meetings.  Either way, it's more than likely going to be a field goal battle all the way, and 36 points is a lot of field goals.

UNDER 35.5

Prediction:   Ravens  16   Raiders  10

Not sure I would classify New Orleans as East coast and since Oak and San Fran are the farthest West of any Pro Team they travel East for all of their games...
 
I will take the Raiders and the points, no reason just a gut feeling.
 
Good Luck

People saying Ravens one of the easiest bets of the week.  Maybe.  Maybe not. 

Of all the games this weekend, this is one where the public is really siding with one team.  They are hammering the Ravens.  The line has been adjusted accordingly.  Vegas really is trying to get some Oakland cash to even it out at this point so I can understand the movement.  They went to do that in the event Oakland lays an egg which they are capable of doing.  HOWEVER, the I think the smart play is Oakland +9 here.  Like someone already mentioned, they already proved they can travel east and win against the bills.  I was on Oakland in that game BTW.  I think they'll prove they can at least hang tough again today.

Oakland +9 for a MEDIUM sized play

I am crushed this morning.......I dropped 5000 places in the contest pool.......was ranked 541 in the country......but went 17-27 yesterday at $500 per play(fake money) and got hammered........I've been in 90th percentile of both college and pro all year........now I'm just another middle of the road flake in college ball.  
 
But I'm still hangin tough in the pros........so take my game of the week here guys.........Balt isn't going to let Oaktown come across the country for a 10am kickoff and put up much of a fight.  This is the Balt defense at home!!!!  Oakland will be ready to throw in the towel by the mid 3rd quarter.......and Jamarcus Russell("the greatest QB prospect in years!" how many idots said that two years ago??)  will be running for his life and throwing all kinds of erant passes under pressure in the cold, chilly, wipping winds out east today!!!

Balt -7

you have no shot if you bet on Oakland... how blind can people CONTINUE to be?  i feel like i have said this every single week for the last month... it's easy!  don't assume something is going to change, especially if it requires betting on Oakland to make it change... it will not!

Please chill kid, spare us the ego.  We have all jhad great streaks and losing streaks also.  I have been plyaong for 27 years, won 9 of the last 11 in the six fuigure range each year.  And I could easily get pounded at any time.


Tell me - how many points do you honestly think the Ravmnes can score?  Their offense blows.  They have a rookie QB.  Oakland has a very solid defense under Ryan.  EWverything in your little rant could be applied to the Ravens as well.  So be careful what you play today.  I am taking the Raiders and the Under, small plays.  My money for the week was made with my 5-0 Saturday.  GLTA.

sports.com (SBR rating D-) cancels player's winning wager
sports.com canceled a bet on the 2nd quarter of Thursday's Auburn versus West Virginia game when the quarter was near completion.
Player: This bet was clearly on the 2Q and action was taken on it during the commercial between the 1st and 2nd Qtr and the line moved the whole time. Then during the 2Q, after it was obviously going to be a winner, it was cancelled---unacceptable.
sports.com customer service initial response to the player was that the offering was not labeled correctly for a 2nd quarter wager and all bets placed on it were canceled. The player feels as though the sportsbook created a situation where it could not lose since it had the ability to cite the error if the outcome was not to its liking. sports.com is operated by Sportsbook.com (SBR rating D-) which has canceled winning wagers in the past due to clerical errors."

I'm not sure about the whole story, but they are with sportsbook.com and that isn't good. You have about a 20% chance of receiving a payout from these guys.

Research your sportsbook before you use it.

They just announced on the pregame that McFadden is doubtful due to turf toe.  I took the under 35.5 only, scrapped the side play on Oak.  GLTA and don't buy the hype...

You all realize that the Ravens offense is just as bad right?

People seem to think cross country flight was just invented last week.  These guys are pros and know how to handle a couple of time zones.
 
That being said.  Ravenes will take the Raiders too lightly and fuck this up.
 
Raiders by a field goal
FIRE!
