[General Zaroff]

Ravens over Cincy

 

[The Ozzman]

That game will have a low score or a high score for both teams.

Should be entertaining. I want to see Ray Rice fuck some shit up!

Betting line or straight-up matchups?
I know we are not gambling here, but the only way to really pick games is with the point-spread...otherwise its easy to pick the faves and look good. Either way have fun, bout time we have some real games that matter!

 

[King Richard]

Washington +3.5 @ NY Giants -3.5
Cincinnati -1 @ Baltimore +1
NY Jets -3 @ Miami +3
Kansas City +16.5 @ New England -16.5
Houston +6.5 @ Pittsburgh -6.5
Jacksonville -3 @ Tennessee +3
Detroit -3 @ Atlanta +3
Seattle -1 @ Buffalo +1
Tampa Bay +3.5 @ New Orleans -3.5
St. Louis +7 @ Philadelphia -7
Dallas -4 @ Cleveland +4
Carolina +9.5 @ San Diego -9.5
Arizona -3 @ San Fransisco +3
Chicago +9.5 @ Indianapolis -9.5
Minnesota +3 @ Green Bay -3
Denver -3 @ Oakland +3

That's the point spread, and my picks would stay identical to what I did earlier, which is kind of funny.

Ha...nice work King D., good provide.
Your original take on picking straight-up was just fine...I was kinda being a boob.
However and ironically, this could be a good week of taking the U-dogs IMO.

My angst and thoughts have been on the injury status of both Brady and P. Manning, with much hinging on this. Looks like both will be o.k. and I hope it stays that way. Not really going out on a limb here but I truly believe one of them will be raising the trophy this year.

I bet every year for last 3 years and always the pointspread... but i never bet the first week and sometimes not even the 2nd week... i want to see how they perform those first week or 2 first before i decide to bet on the spreads or else your betting blindly.

Someone explain what those numbers mean.

the pointspread is very easy... if the spread is let's say 5 points for the favorite... then the favorite has to win by more then 5 points in order for you to win the bet... if you are betting the favorite.... if they win by less then 5 points you lose the bet.. no matter if they won the game..

if you are betting the underdog... then the Dog has to lose by less then 5 points or win the game outright for you to win the bet... if they lose by more then 5 points or lose the game you lose the bet... so :

GIANTS - 5 Ravens +5

The Giants are the home team and are the favorite at 5 points and have to win by 6 or more points for you to win the bet... Ravens are the Dogs and have to lose by 4 points or less or win the game for you to win the bet...
