3-4 last week
Season 29-21


Played these earlier this week. Lines have moved since, but still would play at current lines. My not have time for write ups.
Two teams scored 6 points last week not including turnovers. Cleveland self destructed and scored 6 points. Pittsburgh scored two field goals until they scored 24 points in 3 minutes on turnovers - all inside the Houston 10 yard line.
Both scores were very misleading and the Steelers will be receiving the same treatment that the Bengals got from Indy last week.

The Browns couldnt play ny worse than last week and should bounce back against a rookie qb at home.

Indy -3 over Pittsburgh. < This is a 2X times bet)

Dont want to do back into first window.

Here are some writeups and additional plays.

Best Bets on the board are.
Colts - Absolutely should annihilate the Steelers. For those who dont believe in Indy and like the Steelers, here are some facts about who is who in this game. The Colts crushed the Bengals (who will likely beat the Steelers twice this season when they play)/ Indy totally shut down Cincy partly because they didnt have A,J,Green. No deep threat put Cincy in a bad spot. Dalton was held to 18 completions and only 133 yds passing! More revealing is that the Bengals only had 8 first downs all day. The run game vanished and the Bengals were smashed.
The Colts who are playing better every week, are still on the way up and traveling to Pittsburgh is a money maker. The Steelers had a whopping 6 points at home against Houston last week until the Texans fell off their horse and turned the ball over several times inside their own 10 yard line.The Steelers deep threat is Antonio Brown, who was manhandled by the Browns and became a non-factor in the one-sided Browns win over Pitt. Now we have a the Steelers who couldnt move the ball on Houston - and are expected to compete as a small 3 point home dog. For the Steelers to compete in this game they will have to have more completions, passing yards, rushing yards and first downs than they have had in any game this year or last. The Colts also had 4 sacks against the Bengals and Big Red can run better than Pig Ben (maybe by as much as 28 lengths).
Pittsburgh lacks defensive backs and the run game is far below what it takes to win against better teams. Steelers are a last place team waiting to happen - and todays loss gets them one loss closer. Keep your eye on T.Y. Hilton #13 for the Colts... he is a one man wrecking crew - and against the weak Steelers defense - it will show. (NOTE this game is a 2X times wager as posted near the bottom of my first window. ^



Zona - Philly is not ready for the Zona defense. The Eagles played one team to speak of and that was the Colts who were nowhere near the team they are now. The Eagles are not who they think they are with Foles at QB. I actually like Foles, but when they played any teams with better than average defense here are their numbers. The loss to SF . Philly offense. First downs, 11, passing 191 yds, rushing 12 carries for 28 yards and 4 turnovers. On defense they are allowing 375 yards per game and that includes four teams with losing records.
Zona has one loss to Denver in Denver. They played three winning teams, SD W, SF,W., and the Denver loss away. I wouldnt think that Philly could beat any of those three and flying into Zona with one loss is misleading to say the least. In common opponents Arizona beat SF while Philly lost o SF.


Browns- IF Cleveland can get past the whole defensive starting line being out then they should win this by at least 14 points. I dont think they can lose two straight against rookie QB.s They obviously became cocky after thrashing the Steelers a week before and werent ready for the inprovement with the Jags defense, Seeing that game revealed that Hoyer was completely out of sync because of the Jags pass rush. Having a restructured o-line didnt help with the loss of Mack at center. NO excuse for the loss, as they were manhandled and there was no way they could turn it around. Todays game is against a foe that should find the pass defense from Cleveland, too much to overcome.

Ravens. Black Birds are healthy and the Bengals are not. Neither team is stellar at all, so one turnover either way could produce a win. This is a revenge game for the Ravens and they will likely win it. The Bengals are really depleted without Green at 100%..

MNF (Writeup based on RGIII Not playing. Check back late on Monday.
Dallas
over Washington. This game is about Colt McCoy getting his first start in a long time. When he was in Cleveland he was a gutty gamer and scrambled well. He didnt do a lot of things right though when the offensive line couldnt protect him. Th Browns also didnt have a run game then. The Redskins are lacking plenty and heading to Dallas is going to be against the most prolific offense in the NFC. 10 points isnt enough for th Skins, so - as Cher said in the song 'Gypsies Tramps and Thieves', Lay your Money down.

Saints -1 over Packers. Rodgers has not played well in domes this year.
 
Agree on Dallas. 10 points is not a lot when the underdog does not have a legit chance at an upset.

Also these journeyman qbs typically don't perform well on the road in primetime games. The Fitzpatricks Cousins Mckoys of the world can't handle the pressure.

Personally I feel Mckoy is weak. Cincinatti was a great team with very strong coordinators last year. But I think it was more of mike Zimmer who was the reason for cincys success and not Jay Gruden.

Gruden to me is not a good fit.
 
Update on Cowboys/Skins play/ Redskins have a very good run defense and have faced one division opponent that was good/ McCoy is a good ball control passer and if the Skins get down early, this will get out of hand quickly.

Dallas -7 -145
