Couple of must win games for some good teams. NO and Philly better figure out a way to go 1-2. I think both teams will. The Rams are in trouble going on the road to Tampa.

Possible bets

Indy(-6) @ Houston

Houston has looked good thus far but without Andre Johnson they don't have a lot of firepower. Colts defense has looked good so far and I really thought this line would be higher.

Detroit(+6.5) @ Philly

I think this line is far too high. Philly's D didn't look great at all and the Lions can put up points. McNabb seems to be pretty shaky right now, I expect Westbrook to have a better game but I still like the Lions to at least cover the spread, if not win outright.

Those 2 are the ones that stood out for me. I'll probably talk myself into 3 more bets by Friday.

Be careful of the Philly game. I saw a stat this morning about how the Eagles are historically bad for the first two games under Reid. Then they went on to say how good he is for the rest of the season.

I'm with you about the Colts though. If the line is still the same on Friday, I'll be putting some money on it.

Dallas getting 3 at Chicago, I like that.

Also like the over (43) on Green Bay/San Diego.

**psychopuck** · September 19th, 2007, 06:35 PM

I also like the Chargers -4.5

I don't know. They might lose that game. Green Bay's defense is pretty solid this year and Favre can tear that SD secondary apart. Rivers still is nothing special and Jackson is not a #1 WR... but LT is going to break out eventually. If the GB o-line can do an OK job of protecting Favre I think the have a real shot to win. If Merriman is in the backfield all day SD will win. Not touching that bet either way.

Definitely agree on both of these.

Interesting pick, what is your reasoning? Green Bay's defense has looked good and San Diego hasn't exactly looked explosive. Plus I don't see the Packers putting up a ton of points on the Chargers D.

Who are you seeing run up the score?

Maybe he thinks LT has a big game. I agree that Green Bay's defense seems pretty legit, but part of me thinks that LT is due for a big one.

If I had to bet though, I would bet the under.

Yea, that is a tempting bet as well. Dallas' offense has looked great thus far and while the Bears defense is still very good they aren't invincible. What concerns me is Dallas' pass defense. They've been torched in both games really and while there is the Grossman factor he has shown the ability to throw a really nice deep ball. I think I will jump on Dallas in this though.

Another bet I'm talking myself into is Carolina(-4)@Atlanta. I don't know what to think of the Panthers yet but I think they can beat 4 points on Sunday. Atlanta has shown nothing and there's a big chance of DeAngelo Hall saying something stupid to Steve Smith which would lead to Smith destroying Hall the entire night.
