Result: Kansas City 28 - Green Bay 38
No Play Thursday night. The Giants are favored (1) because they are home, and (2) because they have beaten the Skins the last 4 meetings. So far the Skins are at the top of their game in defense, so we will see if the Giants have anything to counter that tonight. At 0-2 and the fact they were ahead and lost both games coming into this one, doesn't give me a lot of confidence in the Giants tonight. I want to see more of the Skins also. Well what do you know, the Giants won. Good for them.

You know the old saying "when it ceases to be fun, it's time to do something else"...
--------------------------------------------------------------
Week 1
I have no opinion on tonight's game (Thursday), as far as the
side or total. So, no pick tonight.
Good luck if you play it.
Turned out if you waited to play that game, it was a Push in garbage time
at the end at -7 on the Pats, with Pit getting a late TD.
Monday Night (early game):
I want to see how most of these teams perform in the first week. So, I am laying off the Sunday games and just going with one play on Monday.
Philadelphia -3 at Atlanta = Loss
Result Philadelphia 24 - Atlanta 26

Denver -6.5 (Loss)
Result: Miami 36 - Denver 39
Very disappointing Sunday. Almost had the Denver game
until they allowed Miami a TD in final minutes, and then came
back with a sure TD themselves, but RB laid down short of
the goal to let the clock play out. Lousy backdoor cover.
Two games Monday night. Be back if I see anything I like.
No Monday Night plays

Sunday Night, Oct. 12
NY Giants +1 (Loss)
Result: NY Giants 0 - Philadelphia 27
Let me just say.......$%#@&%$ !!!
Monday Night, Oct. 13
Let's try this again......
San Francisco -3.5 (WIN)
Result: San Fran 31 - St. Louis 17
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WEEK 5
Sunday, Oct. 5
Dallas -6.5 (loss, win but no cover)
Result: Houston 17 - Dallas 20
Both teams enter this game 3-1. While Dallas has Seattle on deck next week, I am more concerned about the focus of Houston...as the Texans will have a quick turn around to play on Thursday vs. division rival Indianapolis. The Colts are already 2 division wins ahead of Houston.
Cleveland +1.5 (WIN)
Result: Cleveland 29 - Tennessee 28
Have you noticed that 1-3 Cleveland only lost by 3 to Pittsburgh and 2 to Baltimore, and beat New Orleans? I think this bye was needed.
Rams/Eagles OVER 47.5 (WIN)
Result: St. Louis 28 - Philadelphia 34
Monday, Oct. 6
Seattle -7 (WIN)
Result: Seattle 27 - Washington 17
---------
Thursday night, Oct. 2
Green Bay -8.5 (WIN)
Result: Vikings 10 - Packers 42
Rain in the forecast, field could be messy, or not. Still, taking Green Bay when they have pretty much a full complement of their key players. Minnesota will have either Teddy Bridgewater or Christian Ponder at QB. I am not waiting to hear, because it really doesn't matter to me. We'll have to see if Rodgers is stymied by Minnesota's Zimmer defense.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
WEEK 4
Thursday night, Sept. 25
NYGiants at Washington
Obviously both teams will be fighting to avoid going 1-3, basically
a death sentence to even make the playoffs.
I am hard pressed to find any value in the line or total.
Pass

Sunday, Sept. 28
Saints at Cowboys OVER 53.5 (WIN)
Final: New Orleans 17 - Dallas 38
New Orleans now 1-3 and Cowboys 3-1. I don't think
anyone expected that.
No play on Monday night
------------------------------------------------------------------------
WEEK 3
On a road trip this week, so picks will be later than usual.
Update: Sorry, no picks this week. See you for Week 4.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WEEK 2
Thursday, September 11, 2014
No play for this game. I wasn't that impressed with either
team's performance last Sunday.
Remembering 9/11....God bless
Sunday day games, September 14, 2014
New Orleans Saints -6 (Loss)
Final: New Orleans 24 - Cleveland 26
New Orleans is now 0-2 to start the season. THAT was
not expected.
Sunday night game, September 14, 2014
San Fran 49ers -7 (Loss)
Final: Chicago 28 - San Francisco 20
Al Michaels said it best. San Fran squandered an opportunity
to go one game ahead of Seattle, as they also lost today.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WEEK 1
Thursday, September 4, 2014
Green Bay at Seattle: No play tonight
Thursday night's game showed us something about Seattle. (1) They were not suffering from a Super Bowl slump, and (2) the offense has improved. The "12th" man is still alive and well also.....always an advantage for them.
Sunday day games, September 7, 2014
I thought about passing on the first week of games, to sort of get a feel for the teams, and looking for improvements and downturns. However, I decided to pick some home teams I feel have the best chance of winning their games this week. Here are the teams and lines as of 4pm ET Saturday:
Pittsburgh Steelers -7 (Loss)
Final: Cleveland 27 - Pittsburgh 30
Leading 27-3 at the half, Pittsburgh allowed Cleveland to tie it up, and only
scored 3 pts the entire second half with the game winning field goal. What a crock!
Philadelphia Eagles -10½ (Win)
Final: Jacksonville 17 - Philadelphia 34
Jacksonville lead 17-0 at the half and then a miracle happened. Philadelphia
scored 34 unanswered points in the second half!
Chicago Bears -6½ (Loss)
Final: Buffalo 23 - Chicago 20
Uhhhh....Bears, take notice. Former defenses are embarrassed.
Sunday night, September 7, 2014
Denver Broncos -7½ (Loss)
Final: Indianapolis 24 - Denver 31
The Broncos took a page from the Steelers' playbook. Leading 24-7 at
the half, they allowed the Colts to come back with 17 while only
scoring 7 themselves in the second half. Very disappointed in this one.
No Monday night plays this week.
