week 4 is here and here is typically when gambling should be a bit easier
proof: 9 road faves!!
-looking to be on a couple of these home doggs
another interesting thing: many big players are playin their old teams:
Shaub comes back to Atlanta
Jamal Lewis plays Baltimore
Daunte Culpepper might play Miami
Darrel Jackson plays Seattle
should be interesting to see how these players/teams react. In general, I think it is a good role of thumb type thing to bet on a big player that left a team because the team no longer wanted them, because this player would want to prove/show what they lost. One situation that I find different is the Shaub case, because in this case, everyone is calling Atlanta dumb for losing Shaub and are saying how if they kept him, their season would've been slightly saved. In this case, the whole Atlanta team will want to prove that they DONT need Shaub, thus needing to prove more than one player. Jamal Jewis and Daunte were just unwanted and these are 2 players that seem like the type to hold a grudge. Does anyone know what happened in Seattle? Mutual type trade for Jackson?
One game I really like is Niners/Seattle
-Seattle is a completely different team on the road/at home. look at their season so far: win at home against TB, lose on road to Arizona, win at home to Cinci. Of these three: TB, Zona, Cinci, I'd have to rate Zona the worst, but Seattle lost to them because they didn't have "the 13th man" homefield advantage. Niners off the first loss against Pittsburgh, so these 2 are tied for the division lead right now. Holmgren guarenteed that they wouldn't get swept by the Niners this year. Up til last week, although 2-0, Niners were accused by everyone for not opening up the playbook and making everything conservative. They opened it up against Pittsburg, and they looked really good (although the scoreboard won't show that). Alex Smith was throwing really well, coming out of the pocket, tucking it and running.. this coming against Pittsburgh- one of the toughest Defenses for a young QB. This O-line is better than advertised, and has something even great O-line's don't have- depth. This entire team is pretty damn deep. No real superstars, but many ok players at all positions.
losses: Manny Lawson, Vernon Davis,- out Keith Lewis, Mark Roman- unsure.
If keith Lewis and Roman are both out then the secondary will drop even more. These are both of our safeties.
Vernon Davis will hurt. Alex Smith was looking comfortable ass hell throwing to Davis and Davis was running routes and making nice catches- tip-toeing out of bounds.
ok enough babbling
overall Niners want this division lead. This defense is tough for anyone. The MLB crew of Derek Smith and Patrick Willis is amazing. We cannot handle speed backs. (willie parker) I've known this and it was shown over the weekend. Shaun Alexander is not very fast, much more of a power back (kinda like SJAX) Nate Clements should do an OK job limiting Deion Branch. Niners off their 1st loss
shit brb
