Hey Chad - good picks

Like I said before I like the pats here too and I'll be on them too.

I'm suprised the line didn't drop sooner - its down to pk now many places. Does anyone know anything about Travis Henry's injury? I didn't know he was injured but it says here http://www.vegasinsider.com/u/odds/offshore/NFL_lines.html

'BUF -RB- Henry probable'

maybe I just havent been paying attention but this should have been big news - I'll haave to look it up but I think that he was the big scare (if there was one) in the 2 pats wins over buffalo last year.

The Pats will be favored by Sunday...

What do you base you bets on? Colts and Pats games aren't even close to a lock browns and bills are playoff type teams. Bills just let gary go so henry aint hurt.IMO these games aren't playable. The teams are to even. What are you thinking of?

ChadC · Sep 2, 2003

I said I would post write ups when I have a chance. So you can take your 30 posts and get bent loser. Don't you come in here baggin people like you know something. What's your documented record the last 3 years? That's what I thought....

Redskins -2.5 (Skybook)

Everyone is on the Jets here for some reason, I just don't understand why. Vinny is a dinasour, Martin is winding down to the end of the road and Curtis Conway is their #1 WR? I see the Jets taking a big step back this year. The Redskins are going to spread the field and fry the Jets with their speedy WR's. The Redskins have the advantage to me in every aspect of this game, special teams, defense, and offense. I have the Skins -5.5 in my power rankings. Of course it would be wise for everyone out there to bet small on this game, no matter which side you are on because you just never can tell the first few weeks how things are going to pan out. The season is a marathon, not a sprint!

Adding:

Detroit -4

Playing on the road I can't see the Cardinals coming close in this one. Their #1 WR at the moment is Larry Foster. Larry Foster is so bad that he was traded by the toothless Lions. I see a big breakout game for Detroit and their new coach in this one. Duane Starks, Arizona's best cover man is on the IR and Detroit actually has some depth at WR believe it or not. With Arisona's weak pass rush and Detroit's sturdy line I see Harrington having all day to torch this secondary.

Chad,
I think its fair to say Detroit are not 100% either injury wise. Their D line might have trouble with Arizonas run game. I also think Arizona will play the pass until Detroit can prove their running game hasnt been affected by injuries. Just some thoughts, GL

ChadC · Sep 6, 2003

Winbet,

I agree that Detroit is banged up to. As far as the D-Line goes Shaun Rogers and Big Daddy Wilkinson will be clogging the middle all day, and Robert Porcher the future hall of famer on the end. That is a whole lot of meat up the gut. Their D-line isn't as bad as people think. I just like the fact that they are at home the most. The Lions showed last year for the first time since the Billy Sims days that they actually have a good O-line. The Cardinals are much worse off on the D-Line than Detroit anyday. There will be holes regardless of who is running the ball.

ChadC · Sep 6, 2003

Wow, the Colts are up to 1.5 in some places.

RPM · Sep 6, 2003

chad,

why the colts bro?

ChadC · Sep 7, 2003

RPM,

My Power Rankings have the Colts -2.5 here. I would tell you my formula, but I would have to kill you

Think about this now, the Browns have lost 2 starting lineman to injuries and are starting a rookie at center. I don't think the Browns will be able to run to well, even though this is Indy we are talking about. You know the Colts are going to get their points. They looked sharp in the preseason and I really like Edgerrin james to come back big this season. Early power rankings though have flaws, but I cannot find a reason to play the Brownies here anyway.

ChadC · Sep 7, 2003

Adding:

Atlanta +2

Even without Mike Vick I still have Atlanta -3. The Cowboys are the same team as last year without Emmitt Smith and lets face it, they were hideous. Now Quincy Carter steps in at QB. This guy hasn't shown anything ever in the regular season. I see absolutely no plus side to taking Dallas here other then the fact that they are at home. Atlanta is a much better, more talented team without a doubt.

xoxojoe · Sep 7, 2003

O NO! you dis'ed me! falons and lions look like great picks.How bout them fish and broncos?

ChadC · Sep 7, 2003

Sunday Night Play:

Oakland +3 (+100)

Everyone is all over the Titans, even after the Raiders trashed them twice last year and return pretty much the same team. In my oppinion the Raiders strength is the Titans weakness, PASSING. My power rating (which seem to be on so far with the exception of the Pats) have Oakland actually favored by one point. If you look hard enough you can find the hook for free I bet.
