 Posted: Fri Sep 28, 2007 7:54 pm Post subject: My Picks of the week (CFB / NFL) |
|
|
College Football:
Penn State -3
Michigan State +7.5
Iowa State +21
LSU -41
NFL:
Oakland +4
Houston -3
Green Bay -2
Current record:
CFB: 16-8-0
NFL: 12-4-1
Getting five weeks in a row with a winning weekend isn't possible... or is it?
Good luck all  |

That Green Bay spread is ridiculous with the way they've been playing. Minny lost to Detroit and Kansas City for crying out loud.

I don't know much about betting but how is Houston a -3 when they're playing an unbeaten team?

Had to be a little careful on this one because it's a trap game if you think about it:
1. road favorite
2. off to better start than expected
3. playing in division
4. playing team they historically struggle with
5. sandwich game (chicago next week)
6. previously covered 3 straight
7. Minnesota will shut down GB's run game with their defense so the game heavily relies on Favre's passing game.
Overall, I still think Favre will do fine here. But the -2 spread (now it's -1.5) is not ridiculous. |

Atlanta is actually 0-3.
Houston could be without Andre Johnson, Jacoby Jones, Ahman Green and Steve McKinney on offense which could be devastating. Atlanta is 0-3 and hungry for a win and are playing at home. This will be a close one as well. |

Right I meant winless not unbeaten.
BTW, Penn State: loses by 7
Mich. State: loses by 3 to a Top Ten team
Iowa State loses
Now may I ask you why you took LSU? (-41 means they are heavily favored right?)

Yes, that means LSU had to win by at least 41 points to cover the spread. If LSU played like they did in the 2nd half throughout the game, they would have easily covered 
Penn State -3 [LOSE]
Michigan State +7.5 [WIN since they lost by 3]
Iowa State +21 [WIN since they lost by 18]
LSU -41 [LOSE]
2-2 for CFB
Adding one more game for NFL for a total of 4 games:
Pittsburgh -5.5 |
