fantasy football bets week 8

YTD: 4-3 +120

This week's card was so-so at first glance, but I think there are some solid plays.

PLAY OF THE WEEK

Eli Manning over Cleo Lemon -3 -115 4 units LOSER -460:scared
Are the Dolphins going to have to go to another country to pick up a win? The only thing that worries me about this one is that it seems TOO easy. Seemed that way with LJ over Lamont last week, but cashed it easily.

Eric Johnson over Vernon Davis -.5 -115 4 units loser -460
Brees is constantly looking for Johnson, and the 49ers offense looks miserable, even with Alex Smith coming back this week.

Brian Griese over Jon Kitna PK -115 3 units LOSER :scared -345
The Lions passing game looks like crap, and Griese is playing better than he has in many moons. Plus, the Lions are on the road where they suckass.

which leads me to my next pick...

Kevin Jones over Cedric Benson -1 -115 3 units WINNER!:00hour +300
Kevin Jones is probably the lone bright spot on this Lions offense right now(apart from that SICK endaround by Calvin Johnson) I think he has a solid game. I am looking for 80 yds and a touchdown from him... squeaks one out over cedric.

Willie Parker over 18 -115 3 units WINNER +300:00hour
I like Fast Willie to run all over the Bungles.

Laveraneus Coles over 12 -115 3 units LOSER :com: -345 (he was much more injured than I realized)
Because we gets points per reception, I LOVE this number.

Lendale White over Lamont Jordan -1 -115 2 units WINNER +200:00hour
Until the Raiders do ANYTHING, I'm going against their players. And in this case, Tennessee's defense is pretty damn solid.

Reggie Bush over Frank Gore -3.5 -125 2 units winner +200

Good Luck

Yeah...solid pick I think.

Not into fantasy betting, but I've been looking pretty closely at a player prop of Jones over 60.5 yards @ 2.25.
Good luck.

Adding 2 units on Reggie Bush (-125) over Frank Gore. I was looking at this one anyways, but saw that Gore is dealing with a sprained ankle, and that cinched it.

Like the Coles bet alot (w/PPR, I should think he would have 6/70 easy)........I actually like 'em all; Hope Fast Willie doesn't get vultured out for you...... that Cleo Lemon bet scares me b/c of the potential for garbage time stats. Good Luck!!

 

[peteyboy]

you were right, doc. cleo lemon throws a garbage time TD to fawk my big play. didn't help at all that eli threw for 59 yards. Griese didn't help either by tossing 4 picks. He's worse than Grossman. Everything else pretty much went how I expected it. Down 5 american dollars on the early games.

4-4 but lost the 2 big ones. -610 on the day.

YTD: -490

Coles got dinged pretty good for you as well.......I took it pretty good from Gisele's man and that backdoor from Lemon myself. Nice Tuddy out of Fast Willie to keep it from being a disaster for you. Lookin' forward to your picks for the week........Doc
