Suicide Pool Help, Week 3

September 16, 2008 at 04:20PM View BBCode

Here's what I did last week:

http://www.simdynasty.com/oldforum-viewthread.jsp?tid=196546

I have two entries. I have used NYG in one entry already and ARI in the other. Week 1 didn't count for us.

Here's the games with big point spreads:
OAK at BUF, CIN at NYG, STL at SEA, NYJ at SD.

There are 3-4 other games with 5ish point spreads (all home team favs):
KC at ATL, HOU at TEN, NO at DEN, JAX at IND, DET at SF

OAK at BUF
I love Buffalo this week over Oakland. If I don't use Buffalo this week, I'd probably have to not use them or use them on the road. They've been playing good, beat 2 decent teams the first 2 weeks. Only concern is that the Oakland coaching soap opera will somehow make the troops rally around the coach.

MIA at NE
For my other entry, I am leaning towards NE over Miami. I think it is a safe pick, and I think it is likely better to pick NE early rather than later since they only have 1 game of film on Cassel.

CIN at NYG
I considered the Giants too, which should be another safe pick, but I like NE a tad more because I think Cincy is better than Miami, and I'd like to try to save the Giants for week 7 if possible which looks like a very thin week.

NYJ at SD
Don't like betting against Brett Favre, although I can't see SD going 0-3 either. SD just seems jinxed at this point. I was kind of surprised to see the spread was 7+.

STL at SEA
They have the Seahawks as 10+ favorites. The Rams have looked pretty bad so far. The Seahawks offense looked at least decent against the Niners. Thanks whiskybear for talking me out of them last week! What do people think this week?

Out of the other games, the only one I could see picking is Tennessee over Houston. I don't know if I want to bet on Kerry Collins though, and Houston should be well rested.

The other games just look too risky at this point.

Any comments? Should I roll the dice with SEA or TEN?

I really like Buffalo this week.

The second game, I would probably go with Tennessee. They are well-coached and they have looked fantastic thus far.

Seattle or San Diego are probably going to win by a wider margin than TN will, but they also are more prone to just lose, neither team has played won yet and bot hwill be hungry. Also, playing at home.

I would pick TN, but SEA and SD are very close behind.

Buffalo is my own pick. I also considered New England second. I like that one better than Ciny/NYG because I don't think the Bengals are as bad as they'ce shown nor do I think the Giants are as good as they've shown.

Buffalo won their first two games because they were playing against a team that had their top 4 WRs out, and a team that had 3 of their offensive linemen out. I know oakland sucks, but Buffalo isnt as good as they appear on paper. I still think Buffalo is a good pick

Seattle still has their entire WR corps injured, so it seems smart to wait till later in the year when they get some guarunteed steamroller victories against StL or Det or someone.

I think Mia @ NE is a great pick. NE is good, and cassel cant break games wide open like Brady, but he isnt dumb, so he wont screw things up and let miami win.

giants, i agree with you

SD...let them win a game before you start betting on them. Plus, they have two games this season against the chiefs, why waste a bullet when they are playing the jets?

Houston was supposed to be good. I havent seen any of their games, so i dont knwo what is up with them.

The Browns play in Baltimore. And I would be tempted to take the Ravens in that one.

I like the Patriots better than the Giants, but I think the Giants will win and it is smart to take them now before they start getting beat up by DAL and PHI.
