Degenerate's corner - How are you laying your action today?

Keyser Soze · 09-09-2002, 08:14 PM

So what are you laying down tonight?

I'll take the Steelers giving 2.5 pts and the under (36.5)

Ken'sPen · 09-10-2002, 04:56 AM

good call

Keyser Soze · 09-10-2002, 05:05 AM

you were waiting all night to post that, weren't you?

Ken'sPen · 09-10-2002, 05:07 AM

It is the only reason I am still awake.......
I will pay you to bet on Philly next monday.

Gooch · 09-11-2002, 03:35 AM

sorry, keyser...but you should have known these two things:

1. Steelers offense was a mess during pre-season and it was obvious that it was going to carry over

2. NE is better than last year's record, b/c they came together during playoffs...

NE looked like Superbowl winner as they dismantled the hapless Steelers. Next week should be a better barometer of where they are vs. the Jets. My money is on NE next week.

Next weeks betting thoughts:

TAKE THE UNDERDOGS WITH THE SPREAD...
Take Jags over KC
Bear over Falcons
Bills over Vikings
Texans over Chargers

By the way, folks...I was 4 for 5 on my picks. (Texans fell back to earth...though San Diego will fall to earth soon enough too)

It's too bad I ain't a betting man. I also would have taken the Giants with that ridiculous spread they had with the Rams. Who figured they'd actually win.

Ken'sPen · 09-16-2002, 04:33 PM

So who is gonna break down tonights game for me,
I give Philly an edge in special teams, but aside from that are equal or Skins have the edge.

That being said I don't know why Philly is favored in DC.

I must be missing something...

DIG will be my bitch by midnight tonight.

Big Advantage the Eagles have is at QB. Watch McNabb bitchslap the Redskins Defense tonight.

Gooch · 09-16-2002, 05:33 PM

Skins will lose. Philly maybe a one-man show...but they have a good defense that'll shut down the Skin's Spurrier offense, and McNabb will scramble his way to a win. 21-9

Ken'sPen · 09-16-2002, 05:41 PM

see with the skins linebackers being as big and fast as they are,
I think they will limit the ability for McNabb to scramble his way to victory.

Gooch · 09-16-2002, 05:46 PM

we'll see, kennypoooo.

he'll scramble, those bigblowhards will chase, and then he'll pass. We'll also see if the Skin's secondary can be exploited. I think they can. And, I'm by no means a Philly fan. Philly is one-dimensional and overrated. But Skin's have a ways to go, I think. "Sugar" Shane Matthews will look like Browning Neagle in this one.

Ken'sPen · 09-16-2002, 05:48 PM

The Skins secondary is Baily and Smoot, the best corner tandum in the NFL,
Sam Shade is the strong safety....

they will not be exploited.

AND

I am talking smack now.....
so I can talk it later if they win....

I won't be DIG a typical Philly fan silent until after a win.

Teenweek · 09-16-2002, 06:17 PM

Philly=31
Redskins=17

Galt · 09-16-2002, 06:21 PM

I need at least 3 TDs between Gardner and Davis to win my matchup this week.

Gooch · 09-19-2002, 06:45 PM

Like I said...they'll be exploited, chum. :burnfucker:

Keyser Soze · 09-19-2002, 08:42 PM

I like Philly again this week at home against a weak ass Cowboy squad.

Gooch · 09-19-2002, 08:48 PM

i don't like alot of the matchups this week in terms of spreads. Could go either way...if I was a betting man...i'd skip this week.

Keyser Soze · 09-19-2002, 08:53 PM

i'm in a suicide pool where you can pick one team once all season each week, this week i think eagles are a good pick.

i used the phins week one, took panthers week two

Gooch · 09-19-2002, 09:06 PM

Eagles over Dallas (ignoring the spread) is a good pick.
