Gonna put a play on Pittsburgh as well, just hoping I can get them -2.5 at a reasonable price.

I've tried to pull the trigger on my Stillers but I just can't. Coming into this week, I thought that there would be some people on the Patriots, but there are just too many people on my boys. Lot of other interesting games however. Gonna add two 2 star plays to this card.

Oakland +8 @ Philly -101
Jax ML @ NY Jets +121

I said from the start of the year that I have Dallas winning that division and not Philadelphia. Philadelphia is just not a good of team as recent years. They only have one WR, they're RB's suck, and they will REALLY miss Corey Simon. If they were in the AFC they'd be a sub-.500 team. Only thing I don't like is that I'm betting on a Norv Turner coached team that is Jekyll & Hyde.

The under might be another bet in this Jacksonville game. Martin is banged up and Pennington is still having arm trouble. It doesn't matter if Leftwich is hurt because the Jags have a quality back-up in East Carolina's David Garrard. This game will be a slugfest, and the Jaguars will pull it out. Final score prediction 13-10 Jags

I agree somewhat on the comments about Philadelphia. When they play solid teams their flaws, such as a lack of a running game and porous run defense, will be more apparent. When they play poor teams at home, their deficiencies are less apparent. See last week against San Francisco. Although the Raiders are much better than San Francisco, this team is overrated. If these same players were a team other than the Raiders, they would get a lot less respect. Eagles should win by at least two scores.

Westbrook isn't that bad.

IS, I think Westbrook is highly overrated. In my mind, he's an Erric Pegram type of back. Not too big, very quick and can catch balls. I understand the logic about betting on Oakland, it scares me too. But they've played close with New England and Kansas City so far and I think they'll do the same with this one. In my eyes, Oakland will have Philly on the ropes then blow it and lose by one score.

This week went 2-2 -2.6 units. Glad I didn't pull the trigger on Pittsburgh or that would've been a double whammy. YTD record is now 8-4 +7.47 units Hope all who played had a better week than I did.
