Week 3 (YTD:7-5)

I am having a hard time finding some good action this week. These lines are about as tight as I have ever seen. There is only one game I like right now. I like a few others but am holding out for some line movement.

St. Louis +3 The Rams haven't been overly impressive this year. But I did see something in the second half of their game last week. It looked like their offensive line finally figured out how to play football again. They all seemed to be on the right page. There is no advantage in my power rankings at all to support a bet here, but I have a feeling the Rams will win this one straight up. We'll get a chance here to see just how good the Seahawks defense really is, I am curious.

I am looking at these other games but waiting for line movement:

Miami -3: Everyone will be on the Bills here. I am not sold on the Bills quite yet.

Detroit +4.5: The biggest square bet of the day on Sunday will be Minny. People look at their record and think about how bad Detroit is. Instead of saying, "wow, a divisional home dog and I get over 4 points".

Oakland +5.5: After looking bad against the Bengals last week I smell a lot of action on the Broncos.

Looks good man Good luck to you.

I took seatlle cause I think the rams may be suprised about the D of seattle. Just a hunch and a lean to the momentum of Seattle playing in Seattle.

I'd be interested to see if "everyone" is on Buffalo... it could be that I'm falling for the trap especially with a possible revenge factor

In the Hilton contest the numbers were very close on this game, in fact this game got more balanced action than any of the others. I don't know if it will be completely indicative of the public but so far it's been close.

Doubt very seriously you will see anything other than a 3 hung on this game. Good luck either way.

Adding:

Chargers +1

I know, the Chargers blow. This week I cannot find one advantage in my power rankings at all so I am betting low and off of my gut. This is more of a "hey, they gotta win at some point" bet. You have to believe Jamal Lewis is still tired and a coast to coast trip won't help. I see 8 men in the box all day against the Ravens and Kyle Boller trying to win it alone.

Tampa Bay -4 (skybook)

Unless the Falcons block every kick in site like the Panthers a week ago they have no real shot at this game. I like the Bucs by atleast 7 here. I am looking for a more focused Bucs team fresh off an ass chewing from Chucky.

Jaguars +8

Redskins -2.5
