How does that compare to the return if someone had just made a single bet on each of the six games? Just wondering how much more effective these "defensive systems" are...

Washington Redskins @ Philadelphia Eagles(-5.5)

This spread is not realistic.
The Redskins are clearly a better team and should win this tough division.

Bet on the Washington Redskins

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Pittsburgh Steelers @ Jacksonville Jaguars(-3.5)

Easily, the best bet of the week!
There is no comparing these teams, they are leagues apart.
Jacksonville should be favorites by double digits.

Bet on the Jacksonville Jaguars

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

I'll make some more additions by the end of the week, but these two games make up 2 solid bases for this week.
I've already bet on them heavily.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

I'm not going to make any more additions, but I will give some advice.Avoid betting on teams that have not lost yet.
Also, avoid betting against teams that haven't won yet.

I've taken the two above games as bases and combined them with the Ravens +3.5, Chiefs +9.5, 49ers +4.5, Bengals +17.5, and Vikings +3.5.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Ohio State(-3.0) @ Wisconsin

I don't really get how they can have Ohio State as the favorite here.
It must be peoples perception.
Ohio State is far from being a top 10 team this year, where Wisconsin appear borderline. The home team should be favorite here.

Bet on Wisconsin

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

[W.HI.P]

Cool week, the Redskins continue to dominate, the Jaguars lost.
Got 3 of the mini games, Wisconsin with the push.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Oakland Raiders @ New Orlean Saints(-8.5)

This should be a close game.
On the defencive side, the Raiders are by far superior.
8.5 points makes this a really good bet!

Bet on the Oakland Raiders

New England Patriots @ San Diego Chargers(-5.5)

This is an extremely lop-sided game, double digit win foir the superior Chargers!!

Bet on the San Diego Chargers

I'll make some more additions by the end of the week, but these two games are the easy early bets.

Texas @ Oklahoma(-7.0)

Put aside this weeks rankings, the reality of the difference between these two teams is even larger than the numbers show.
Double digit win here.

Bet on Oklahoma

LSU @ Florida(-5.5)

Am I afraid of the Gators? ...... a little bit.
Question is, how suprised would anybody be if LSU got an easy win here?

If Boston can't beat Tampa Bay with Matsuzaka starting, then the Rays are already in the world series!
Kazmir is a lock.

Cincinatti Bengals @ New York Jets(-7.0)

If you're gonna beat the Bengals the way they're playing at this time, you're gonna need a running game.
The Jets are incapable of running the ball.

Bet on the Cincinatti Bengals

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Jacksonville Jaguars @ Denver Broncos(-3.5)

Despite the Jaguars attack being under par, they should look good against this defence.
There's nothing to worry about on the other side of the ball.
I'll be very suprised if Denver wins this game.

Bet on the Jacksonville Jaguars

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Green Bay Packers @ Seattle Seahawks(-1.5)

Both of these teams are weak and also depleted.
The Packers are a touch better on defence at this time.

Bet on the Green Bay Packers

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

New York Giants(-9.5) @ Clevland Browns

There is no doubt that the Giants are superior.
Monday night game with the superbowl champs against a team thats under-preformingXPerception&Money=an easy bet with the +9.5.

Bet on the Clevland Browns

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

[W.HI.P]

It looks like anothe good week in the NFL.
We're going on 4-2 with the Browns cover tommorow.
The Raiders looked as bad as they looked in week 1.
The Bengals couldn't cover in New York.
Jacksonville with the Win in Denver.
The Packers won is Seattle.
The Chargers are killing the Patriots 27-3 near the end of the 3rd.

Next week is very interesting, as there are many desperate match-ups.
I'll make an entry on Wednesday night/Thursday morning.

[W.HI.P]

Not only did Clevland beat the spread, but they beat the NY Giants 35-14!!

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Tampa Bay Rays @ Boston Red Sox

The Rays are up 2-1 in the American league finals.
Sonnastine vs Wakefield in game 4.
Now Wakefield can look impressive with that knuckle ball, but he can also get really hurt, really early, and the Red Sox don't have the kinda bull-pen that can pick a game up from an early stage.
Sonnastine on the other hand, the last couple times he faced Boston, gave up 2 runs in 13 innings allowing merely 7 hits recording 12 K's... I'd say he's got Boston's number.
The Rays win pays well, I suggest ya'll take it!
The Rays dominated the Red Sox this season, I don't see why that should change now.

Bet on the Tampa Bay Rays (2.20)

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

[W.HI.P]

Tampa Bay demolished the Red Sox 13-4 taking a commanding 3-1 lead in the series.

Tennessee Titans(-8.5) @ Kansas City Chiefs

The Chiefs should pick up their 2nd win pretty easily here against the mediocre Titans.

Bet on the Kansas City Chiefs

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Pittsburgh Steelers(-10.5) @ Cincinnati Bengals

Don't let this spread fool you.
The Bengals are a better team, and at home.
This is a no-brainer.

Bet on the Cincinnati Bengals

New Orlean Saints @ Carolina Panthers(-2.5)

I don't really get why Carolina is the favorite here.
The Saints should get the win in this one.

Bet on the New Orlean Saints

New York Jets(-3.5) @ Oakland Raiders

If the Raiders play like they can, they'll be picking up an easy double digit win here.

WTF is wrong with the price makers this week?
Jump all over this one!!

Wisconsin @ Iowa(-4.5)

Excuse me here for a second.
How TF is Wisconsin not 6.5 point favorites?
They lost in a close one to Michigan.
Ohio State beat them by a field goal.
And superteam, soon to be ranked #1 Penn State beat them up.
How TF can anyone consider Iowa a threat here?

Bet on Wisconsin

Vanderbilt @ Georgia(-13.5)

With all due respect Vanderbilt, Georgia is way out of your league!

Bet on Georgia

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Missouri @ Texas(-7.5)

Texas did pull off a miracle against superior Oklahoma.
Missouri is a top 5 ranked team in reality, and they'll be there in the end.
Their defence is too good.
Texas's defence was completely hopeless against Oklahoma's "score at will" offence.
Missouri can win this!

LSU(-3.5) @ South Carolina

LSU's defence remains amongst the absolute elite.

Detroit Lions @ Houston Texans(-8.5)

Detroit is a pretty bad team.
Houston is improved as expected.
The Lions will win this year.
Their remaining schedule looks like this:
Week-7)Texans
Week-8)Redskins
Week-9)Bears
Week-10)Jaguars
Week-11)Panthers
Week-12)Bucs
Week-13)Titans
Week-14)Vikings
Week-15)Colts
Week-16)Saints
Week-17)Packers

Week-7 & 17 look like the most likely wins Detroit can get this year.
-8.5 points makes this a very good bet.

Denver Broncos @ New England Patriots(-3.0)

2 Years ago, in this thread, I went into detail why this Patriots team was without a future.
Last year I went further into it.
This year, those who actually watch are starting to see what i meant.
Salary cap & Age are two very important elements in running a franchise proplerly.
Teams who neglect these things end up having to start from scratch.
The Patriots are now at this point.

Denver is no superteam, but they'll win this one.

Bet on the Denver Broncos

Clevland Browns @ Washington Redskins(-7.0)

I'm well aware of all the problems that some Redskins players face this week.
I'm also well aware how well the Browns looked last weekend, hell, I bet on them.
Lets take a step back for a second and take a little look at some of Clevland's remaining games:
@Washington
@Jacksonville
@Buffalo
@Tennessee
@Philadelphia
@Pittsburgh
If I ran the Browns, based on this impossible schedule away from home, I would accept the reality that we're not making the play-offs with a 2-3 record, and these remaing away games.
I would now be looking at College Football to see what Players I wanna get.
I would certainly finish the season with a 4-12 record at best.

Based on the fact that Clevland has functioned this way in recent years, i would say keep Quinn out of it till really late this season, protect your assets and add some more on draft day!

This has not been my favorite week so far, however, these Sunday afternoon games have a way of fixing things up.

MLB

American League Final (Game 7)

Boston Red Sox @ Tampa Bay Rays
Lester - Garza
Series tied 3-3

Well it comes down to this game in Tampa.
The last time these two pitchers met, Garza pitched a gem, where Lester got beat up.

The Rays have better bats than Boston.
They clearly have a better Bull-pen as well.

Get used to this Rays team Yankees and Bosox, they're not going away!

Bet on the Tampa Bay Rays!!!

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

[W.HI.P]

The Rays won the AL by beating Boston in game 7.

Philadelphia Phillies @ Tampa Bay Rays
Hamels @ Kazmir

Tampa Bay is gonna win this series pretty easily.
Hamels is the only pitcher Philly has that can be competitive.
However, he faces an unbelievable line-up, and he's up against Kazmir!
