NFL 9/21

BlackampGold · Sep 20, 2003

6-10 YTD 37.50% (-9.75U)

Slow start in pros, on to week 3..

Baltimore/SD UNDER 39.5 -107
2.14/2.00

In week one vs. Pittsburgh, the Ravens did not run Jamal Lewis a great deal early in the game, they got behind and were forced to throw to catch up on the road. Last week, they ran Lewis early and often and they crushed Cleveland at home. Look for the Ravens to learn from their mistake and try and establish the run again to take pressure off their rookie QB on the road. We also have Tomlinson in this game so look for a battle of running in this one which should churn the clock. Combine that with the lack of big play threats for both teams and I think we have an under. This would be a bigger play for me except I am siding with the public on this one so I will keep it at 2 units.

Rest of my day card:

Arizona +7 -107
3.21/3.00

The Packers just have not showed enough to lay a touchdown on the road, even against Arizona. This line has actually came down despite 80% approximately on the Pack.

Cleveland Browns +7 -107
3.21/3.00

Well, I thought the Browns would have a decent team this year. So far it looks as though I am wrong but I will test my theory again this week. I am looking for the Browns offense to get on track this week as the Ravens and Colts defenses are in my opinion superior to SF. I flirted with playing some ML with this on a hunch but I'll just take the seven.

Indy/Jacksonville UNDER 42.5 -107
2.14/2.00

NY Jets/NE UNDER 37.5 -107
2.14/2.00

I am calling myself a chicken-sh-- right now for not playing the Brownies on the ML. Note to self - go with your gut sometimes.

BTW - I did add a unit to this play before gametime because of all the favorites covering earlier but could not post to problems getting on the site. However, I will not be counting it in my record here because that opens up a whole can of worms.
