This here NFL Week Ten!

Thursday Night Football:

Chicago Bears +3.5.....4* - not buying Alex Smith. Liking the Bears passing attack tonight!

Oops. Chicago is terrible. They need an OL and WR BAD.

Alright, terrible start to the week, but here's looking to rebound on Sunday!

Early games:

New York Jets -7

Pittsburgh Steelers -7

Minnesota Vikings -16.5

New Orleans Saints -14.5

Couple of things about each matchup: Like the Jets defense this week against the horrendous Jags; Pittsburgh is the best team in the NFL... the Bengals will want to run the ball with Benson, but they're not going to be able to and Mendenhall will be showing him up as the better RB in that game. I HATE laying the points with the Vikings in a typical NFC North matchup. I think it's a ton of points, but the Vikings were lackluster in the last meeting. Childress has had a week to tune up his team and I think they come out with a ton of carries given to AP. Calvin Johnson scares me a bit, but Winfield is out again and that matchup would scare me anyway - the body size difference, anyway. Saints laying the TD.5 here and I see the defense teeing up on St. Louis. Dome team going to a dome is just like home. Where's the offense for STL? Shut down Steven Jackson.

Best of luck fellas.

Late games:

Seattle Seahawks +8

Green Bay Packers +3

Indianapolis Colts/New England Patriots u50



The Seattle/Zona line has me perplexed. Arizona too streaky of a team, and I'd really like to see the Hawks get their offense rolling again. They need to stop the run to keep this close. Much debate in the discussion thread about the Dallas/Green Bay game. I think McCarthy has his team ready to play. On paper it looks like Dallas is going to tear Rodgers head off, but I think they find a way to keep this competitive, and I might have a small, unposted ML bet. Green Bay needs this game to have a prayer in the division/wildcard race! The total on paper in the Indy/NE game looks like a shootout to me, Indy banged up in the secondary, but me thinks both teams try to run the ball. Both Addai/Brown have been wanting the ball more, and Manning will oblige as long as the OL can do it's job. Maroney, from what I've seen, isn't the ****-machine he was last year. Actually seems to have some burst from the line.

Best of luck fellas!

edit: all plays are 4 units
