CAN'T AFFORD TO SLIP.

i really never take preseason very seriously as far as wagering, unfortunately i saw beautiful opportunities yesterday to kill with a solid 4-bagger....
TENNESEE....(and the over)
SEATTLE.....(and the over)

OUCH!!

the next 2 games, today and tommorrow i happen to view in the same light, hopefully my totals will be kind to me.

i don't want to come off cocky,(before the ripping starts), but...

BANK THIS 4-BAGGER.

NY JETS 31 CINN 17
PHILLY 20 NO 13

GAME.

Any particular reasoning behind the picks?

well, in the jet game i believe pennington will see a little more time, as will martin and chrebet, etc.., guys who didn't play at all.
i think they'll play a little better for the home crowd. i also think edwards will want to tune it up as far thier last output.
they started fast and ended fast.
with the fact that they have a game under thier belt(against the bucs no less), i think they'll find the bengals first game in thier backyard a better fit.

in the philly game it just seems to me being from wisc, remembering what i do about andy ried, he's a hard ass.
when somebody does him wrong or challenges him so to speak, he'll go out of his way to make that person pay or at least nervous(duce staley).
this means he's going to be trying like hell to make other running backs look good by letting them run a ton of times.
ball control eagle football eating the clock.
the defense should hold thier own against new orleans back up players, i might be generous by giving the saints 13, hopefully.
then i looked back at philly's first games the last couple of years on the road, and no's at home.
they have been low scoring, why try to buck history.

GAME.
