I have a few I am looking at so far and would like some comments.

1. SF/ST. L. over 54- This will probably be the highest scoring game of the season in the nfl. San Fran and RAMS cand both score and the rams def is hurting. Not to mention the 49er's secondary is trash talking that the Rams recievers are soft. So I expect them to go all out on sun and prove they aren't soft.

2. Detroit+7.5 Hey they have to win a game sometime. I actually hate when people say that. Detroit is not as bad as an 0-11 team. I think Tampa Bay will be looking past this game because of the new QB who I think is really not that bad and can move the ball by passing or running it himself. Also Tampa Bay will be looking ahead with the showdown next week with my suprising bears team at Chicago.

3. SD/PHIL under38 SD offense is none existent but do have some good def players. I don't really have alot of faith in the West coast teams that go to the cold inclement weather of the East Coast. I believe that it is supposed to snow and or rain. Flutie can handle the weather but it seems to me that he lost some arm strength or something on his throws. Phil has good rush def and should keep the SD rushing down. All things point to the under to me.

4. Bears+6 This might be to much of my heart talking to me. I think the bears put more pressure on Favre and not let him pick them apart. The injury of Butler to the Packers is huge he holds the secondary together and calls out def plays. I believe that the away team has won the last 4 0r 5 games. Also the bears get A-Train back. I didn't know it but his hamstring was hurting the last game so maybe that was why he didn't have much yardage. I listened to him on some local radio sports shows and says he is close to 100% and ran full speed with cuts and everything.

5. Oakland-9 Gruden probably can't wait to play this game after losing to Ariz.(who I think is better than there record). All oakland has to do is take Priest Holmes away with 8 in the box and let Green throw int's. I think its more that K C is just plain bad.

Some other teams I am looking at but still are capping.

Dallas+3.5=Different team without Leaf fu*king everything up.
Jets/Pitt under 35=Pitt good def and jets erratic off plus most likely Bettis out to me sounds under.

Just some looks any comments or additional info is always appreciated and good luck to all this weekend

tampa bay's game plan:

get the rookie qb. sapp shines once this year, etc. this could be a rout. i would not put a plugged nickel on a teaser either way on this one.
actually this a big pass for me.

like sd under a lot, bears and have oak on some plays.

jets/pitt could turn into a free-for-all, with lots of passing by stewart due to bettis' absence. actually, jets and the over is not a bad start for a bigger parlay. i will do it.

pep- I probably do pass on Detroit. The line is dropping and alot of people here seem to be on T Bay. I still like the thought of them looking ahead to my bears next week. Will have to recheck. I am starting to like the jets pick more and more. Bettis out and Jets play better on the road i think.

Boilermaker- I am still struggling with the bears but I think I am going to grab the points and go with it. Bear down chicago bears.

Good luck guys may you make your guy cry today when he pays you.....

JC..... I think your thought on the Tampa bay game is completly WRONG.... TB will not be looking past this game.. they know they have to win out to have a chance at the play offs... TB will be after the rookie qb all day.. I think this game will be in the buc's favor.. if Detroit covers it will be the last play of the game just like last week with Cincin.... Like your other thoughts tho... GL
