MattFancy Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 I like Minnesota -4. I know the Saints are at home and they could still win, but I think it'll be a close game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

illone Posted September 7, 2010 Author Share Posted September 7, 2010 bump to gather more interest... we need to get a good community to be active here.. so we can help each other make some $$$$$ Man, try to avoid those parlays. Vegas LOVES parlays for a reason. It's a lottery ticket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
illone Posted September 7, 2010 Author Share Posted September 7, 2010 Haha woops meant to hit the +. But yeah at +4 I think they are a good pick. My book has +5. I can't get on board with Minny yet this year. I could see them struggling this year and favre morphing back into the INT machine we all know and love.

sjinhan Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 how you feeling that Viking/Saints game? My gut tells me to take the Saints.. but my brain is reasoning that Vikings is the better bet with the points... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abdcskins Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 Oh boy, here we go! This year I am going to crush it. And I even have a legit bookie in NYC this time who pays in a quick fashion haha(dude ended up paying with interest). I am thinking: $110 on Colts -2 @ Texans $55 on Lions + 6.5 @ Bears Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could see them struggling this year and favre morphing back into the INT machine we all know and love. I feel like we'll see more AP Thursday night than Favre. Plus the Saints will be without Darren Sharper who was a force in their secondary. Like I said, I think the Saints win, but it'll be close. Remember the NFCCG was only a 3 point win for the Saints.

It's a new year with new players and it's totally different. Last years game means little sans maybe some revenge factor for the Vikes. If I had a gun to my head I'd take Saints and the over. Minny's secondary is hurting bad. Brees will be lighting them up and I could see Favre and company managing to score at least 24 points themselves. Sharper the INT grabber is not active for this game. Good luck on that game, I'll be staying away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have a pick 'em group at work where we pick against the spread each week and the highest total wins the money for the week, usually around $80 or so every week of the season. So this thread will come in handy and I'll post my thoughts (however horrible ) and it may be wiser to pick the opposite of me lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you ever had a undefeated week? No right! Pick your ticket the 100% totally randum just change 4 of your picks. It has worked great for me. I play in a pickem group of over 100n people. 2 years ago I got 1st place and last season I got 5th. It has worked for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoggLife Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 Ok so my work pool at the Vikings at +6.5. So I'm leaning towards the Vikes... Im having a hard time picking that game AND NE -4.5 Cinci. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattFancy Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 Im having a hard time picking that game AND NE -4.5 Cinci. Agreed. Both of those games could easily go either way and no one would be surprised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoggLife Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 Who is everyone taking on the NE -4.5 Cinci game. Im taking NO but still need help on the NE/Cinci game. My picks have to be in by tonight. At first I had Cinci picked but now Im really leaning towards NE. Man what to do? Also I picked Baltimore since they are getting 2.5 angainst the Jets what do you think about that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
illone Posted September 9, 2010 Author Share Posted September 9, 2010 I took Balt in my pickem league, but I don't have the cajones to bet on that game. If anything I like the under. Both teams will be able to slow the opposing offense down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoggLife Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 I think Im going to just do two tickets this year. The 2nd one I will take Minny, Chi, NE, and the Jets to switch it up. It just sucks cause I have only 5 underdogs. Oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
