Week 6 Predictions

[neospec]

Starting Week 6, I will be posting my predictions for the NFL. I'm only going to choose the games I feel strongly about, and lead up to more and more games as I go on.


Panthers +1
Lions -1

Pick: Panthers

Taking the Panthers on the road. Offense is ranked 13th in the AFC, they should pull this one out on the road.

Falcons -4.5
Saints +4.5

Pick: Falcons

This is the toughest one of the week. New Orleans is underachieving on the scoreboard, but in stats they are not. Everything leads to New Orleans winning this, but with the steadiness of Schaub, and the possiblity of Vick coming back - I have to take the Falcons.

Dolphins +4.5
Buccaneers -4.5

Pick: Dolphins

I think Miami will win this game @ Tampa, but only by 1-3 points. They're defense is quite stout with Brooks at the helm. With Ricky and Ronnie back this week, I believe we will be a tad bit more conservative (less 5 wide tight sets), and try to stick to getting the ball to McMichael 5-7 yards out. Less going deep this week I believe (3 INT's resulted of the floaters). Look for Miami to take this one by 3 or less

Vikings +3
Bears -3

Pick: Bears

Vikings are 0-2 away from Minn, and its not easy to win @ Soldier field against the #2 Defense. The bears have been able to muster enough Offense in the past weeks to convince me they will squeak this one out.

This is my pick of the week

You like Miami but you pick the Bucs? Miami wins this game by more then 3 points.

these predictions make no sense

I pick Tampa to cover the spread, which means MIAMI will win by 4.5 or less IMO.

miami-24
tampa-16

 

[Bumpus]

Lets see here... You think Miami will win by 3, and are getting 4 1/2 points ... but pick the Bucs?
:confused:

If you think Miami wins then why pick the Bucs? The points are for the spread. The Phins do not have to win by 4.5 to cover the spread they just can not lose by more than 4.5 If you're picking the Phins straight up you need to bet on the moneyline.

Let me know if you need some more betting edgucashun!

You have that backwards. If Tampa Bay covers the spread, that means they will win by 5 or more. If they win by 4 or fewer, or Miami wins, then Miami covers the spread.

Really. The Bucs destroyed the Bills. And the Bills whipped the Fins. That can't be good for the Fins this week. Lay the 5 points and pick the Bucs to not only win, but cover the spread.

If you cant tell from my post.. ot was a JOKE... see the laughing emoticon...

Your a bucs fan your supposed to think like that. However, i think we've seen that one team whipping another means nothing to the outcome of another matchup.

That is the dumbest thing I have ever heard. The Pats whipped the Steelers but the Chargers killed the Pats then the Steelers beat the Chargers. So things like that dont make any sense what so ever.
