Week 3

Anyone out there?

Well, two games jumped out at me this week:
sf +11 SEA
phi -4.5 DET

I'm a totally biased Niner fan, but this team has fought hard in their first two games, and I don't know if Seattle is as good as their 2-0 record.

The Eagles got some lucky breaks against the Vikings, but they look like a damn good team. The Lions have scored a special teams or defensive TD in each of their first 2 games, and they're being out-gained by 100 yards a game.

I'm also liking these three to be ugly, under games:
dalWAS under 35
pitMIA under 32
cleNYG under 37

Betting anything under 40 makes me nervous, but these are some UGLY teams.

And then there's a bunch of intriguing underdogs I'm thinking about:
ari +10 ATL
sd +10 DEN
gb +6 IND

    I think Green Bay is a good pick. Farve and Green will pick apart Indy's D and GB's D is good enough to hold Manning and James to under 3 TD's

      Goddamn, the Niners were ugly. Luckily, I tempered my homer sentiments and went small on SF and big on Philly. I also jumped on the pit-MIA under and the Raiders in the 2nd half after I saw how ugly Tampa Bay looked.

      What do you all think about the Cowboys-Redskins tonight? I'm staying away from the line, but I've got a few bucks on the under 36. I'm a little nervous about Portis breaking some big runs or Testeverde burning the Washington blitz, but overall, I'm thinking this is going to be an ugly game.

        Too late to post but I took Dallas to win.

        Gibbs is still getting used to coaching again as you could see from the bad clock/timeout management.

        He tried to run Portis up the gut all the time which doesn't work either. I think Washington will get better every week though as Gibbs gets more used to his team.

        I also jumped all over the Miami/Pitt under in the hurricane. That was too easy. The over/under should have been 24 or something but I've never seen an over/under set less then 32.
