We had a nice rebound last week winning a few close ones for a 4-1 record. This week we look to go back above .500 and keep making money.

Chicago -6 – Newton has been impressive, but against the cover 2 of the Bears, you need accuracy and patience. Newton has struggled when teams drop 7-8, so it could be a long day for him. Under may be the better play, but we’re taking the Bears who are a strong home team. LOSS

New Orleans -7 – Saints offense has been clicking on all cylinders so far this year. Even though MJD may have a big day on the ground, Jacksonville doesn’t have the offensive fire power to stick with the Saints. WIN

Philadelphia -9 – This team is over hyped, and there’s a definitely game plan to limit Vick. Bring a lot of rushers from the outside and hit him often. He’s starting to hear footsteps in the pocket. However, the 49ers o-line is swiss cheese and Smith is the qb that will be running for his life. Gore is their only play maker and he’s banged up. Look for the Eagles to start living up to the hype with an easy win at home. LOSS

St Louis +2.5 – I like home dogs. The Rams have played decent against a very tough schedule. The skins are coming off a tough Monday night loss and are playing a non-division foe, so it’s not an important game for them. Look for the young Rams to bring home the victory.
LOSS
New England -5 (play of the week) – Brady is drooling over the weak secondary of Oakland. As long as his o-line gives him average protection, he will carve apart this secondary. McFadden could stay hot and keep Brady off the field. However, New England is often tough coming off a loss and Oakland is not good enough to beat a focused Bellicheck team.
WIN

This week: 2-3
Overall: 8-10-2

Went 3-3 last week and won our play of the week. 5-8 overall so far which needs to improve.

Kansas St +3.5 win

Boise St -27 loss

South Carolina -9.5 loss

Arizona St -18 (play of the week) loss

Troy -16.5 loss

Now that a few weeks are in the books, trends start showing in the NFL. With some tough luck and some erroneous picks, we are 2-6-2 for the season. Plenty of time to get your money back and then some.

Minnesota +3.5 (play of the day) - Detroit has been the better team so far, but do they really deserve to be road favorites? Queens are still a good home team and McNabb should be getting comfortable with the new system WIN

Miami +2.5 – Last year Miami was unbeatable on the road and couldn’t win at home. So far this year, they couldn’t win at home. Let’s hope last years trend continues. Cleveland is an improving team, but still a very beatable team
WIN

New Orleans -4 – After a year recovering from their Super Bowl hangover, the high powered offense of the Saints appears to be back. Houston is a team a like a lot this year with the moves they made on defense, but I’m not sure if their offense is clicking enough to score with the Saints.
WIN
NY Jets/Oakland under 41.5 – Neither team has a strong offense, mainly because both offensive lines are banged up. They both have very good defenses. The offenses will have trouble scoring, so as long as the defense/special teams doesn’t score 14+ points, the under should be a safe play. LOSS

Balt/StL over 41.5 – Ravens have a high powered offense and St Louis should put up some points at home. Baltimore’s secondary is banged up, so I see a lot of passing in this game. WIN

This week: 4-1
overall: 6-7-2

Our college debut was not a good one. Although we suffered 3 late losses, they were still losses.
