(31-22) +18.15 Units
<OWell guys its been a rough month and a half, had two deaths in the family (my grandpa, wife's grandpa - both expected) and work has been crazy. They cut a few guys at work, "due to economy", and basically increased the amount of work I have to do almost double. I'm an auditor so its not like double work that i can put off, its jobs that have deadlines and large amounts of work, basically working 60-70 hours a week. Anywaise this weekend i finally feel like im getting caught up, although im sure come monday ill be right back in the hole. Although i haven't posted in awhile, i've been reading everyones insight and thoughts and as always very impressed with the information put out here. Hope i can add my 2 cents. Just put these bets in, about to do some typing of my thoughts, be right back ... :shake:</O

</st1:City>Jacksonville -6.5 at <st1:City w:st="on"><ST1Detroit</st1:City> (3.5 units)
Jacksonville hasnt been playing to the level most people thought they would be at, at this point in th season. Unfortuntaly they are in the same division as the Titans, who should win that division, but luckily for them the AFC is all bunched up with 5,4,3 win teams. If they are going to make a run for a wild card spot now is the time to get started. I'm not going to suprise anyone with the ugly stats of detroit, just gonna say they have a new quarterback, Culpepper, who hasnt even seen the play book longer than a week, and who may be passed his playing days anywaise. We shall see what he has left, but jacksonville finally gets an easy win today in detroit.

<st1:State w:st="on">Tennessee</st1:State> -3(even) at <st1:City w:st="on"><ST1Chicago</ST1</st1:City> (2.5 units)
<st1:City w:st="on">Had Orton not been hurt, i probably would have stayed away from this game and even leaned towards a great spot for Chicago to pull the upset, but not now. Due to the fact that Grossman will be playing, I expect to see alot of running in this game, both teams have been great against the run, Tennessee giving up 91.6 and Bears giving up only 81.8. This is going to be a low scoring affair, lots of running. Chicago is 30 in pass defense, giving up 247.7 yards in the air and after establishing the running game with LenDale White and Chris Johnson I think the Titans come up with a few big plays in the air and secure the win.</st1:City>

Going with the better team here, IMO. Not to mention getting a gift of 3 points, i shall bite. Packers pass defense has steadily been improving, rush defense is pretty damn poor, giving up 146.4 yards a game. But i think once they figure out peterson, this shifts to an air game for the win, and I think Rodgers is going to win that battle.

<st1:City w:st="on">Carolina</st1:City> -9.5 at <st1:City w:st="on"><ST1Oakland</ST1</st1:City> (2 units)
Lets be honest, nobody takes oakland seriously. Meaning us the fans/media, the players hopefully take every game seriously. Anywaise not going to dive to deep into this game, Carolina's defense is having a great year, the raiders cant seem to get into any type of rythem. McFadden and Russell both are beat up, defense is giving up almost 400 yards a game, just dont see how this game can be close. Carolina could easily win this by 3+ touchdowns ... gotta take the chalk.

Surprise, surprise ... I will say i expect this to be a great MNF game. With that being said i'm going to take the points in belief that my giants will either outright win or at least i know their defense will keep them in a close game. Statistically these teams defenses and offenses are pretty dead on. Its going to come down to who executes, doesnt turn the ball over and red zone TD conversion. Lets go GIANTS opcorn:
