Home Forums Skybox Sports Bar First and Goal This weekend in the NFL

Lets get some conversation going on the 4 matchups this weekend.<p>Saturday:
Pittsburgh @ Tennessee (-4) O/U 44
Atlanta @ Philly (-7.5) O/U 38.5<p>Sunday:
SF @ TB (-6) O/U 39.5
NYJ @ Oakland (-5) O/U 48<p>Still capping all these games but I do like the Under 39 in the SF/TB game and the Over 48 in the NYJ/Oak game.<p>Looking forward to hearing what everyone thinks on the sides and/or totals.<p>SeaVike<p> [img]images/icons/cool.gif" border="0[/img]

Pitts @ Tenn<p>Yawn. Wake me when this one is done. Who cares, neither of them are going to the show. I guess I'd rather take Pitt, since I'm getting 4 points, no ay I give em in this game. Look like a snoozer so I'll take them UNDER as well.<p>Atlanta @ Philly
What the hell are the dirty birds doing hanging around here. Don't they know it's playoff time and that means the Falcons should be at home WATCHING the games? Sorry, no more Vick magic bt I'm not into giving 7.5, so if I HAVE to I'll take the 7.5 and look for a garbage TD. Like the OVER though. Hey, Vick could explode, we've seen it happen before.<p>SF @ TB
Lay the wood, SF really shouldn't even be here. TB has a guy that can snap the ball to the kicker, so I guess that means SF is SOL. UNDER.<p>NYJ @ Da Raiders.
Raiders -5, nothing escapes the Black Hole, certainly not Chad Freaking Pennington. Raider run it up, take the OVER. Holla if ya hear me.

Went 4-0 on all my plays last week, hoping to keep up the magic.<p>Ten -4 over Pittsburgh<p>I see this as a trap. People thinking this game will be close. No way, these teams don't match up. I think eddie george will be catching a lot of small passes, and the titans will dink and dunk, and catch the steelers off guard. Tennesee by 7-10<p>ATL +7.5 o PHI<p>Just one factor, McNabb. I think he'll be targeted, and I doubt he's 100 percent. I don't think Vick can be understimated. The team is too hot to be a 7.5 pt underdog.<p>TB -4 o SF<p>SF is overated. Should have lost to the giants, and will get creamed by the bucks. The bucks D will smash the 49ers. Don't see this one being close.<p>NYJ v OAK<p>Anyone who says they know what will happen here is lying. Pennington's the hottest thing since fire, gannon's league MVP. Both teams have been playing great. I think one team will dominate the other, but which, I have no clue. Might play the toal here, but I'm not touching the outcome. I've got nothing to cap here, it's a coin toss as far as I'm concerned.

One more thing,<p>found a sweet prop on intertops.<p>Eddie George u79.5 rush yards<p>I think the pitssburgh D will shut down the run, and very quickly McNair will use the dink and dunk pass to George as a substitute to the run game. <p>Look what this run D did to clevland. I don't see Goerge faring much better.

San Fran at Tampa Bay.<p>Line: Tampa (-6.0) (39.5)<p>I can't believe this line going up still. Mariucci will out-coach that dipstick Gruden. Can tampa bay score.? Remains to be seen.<p>San Fran.....(+6.0)<p>San Fran/Tampa Bay....UNDER (39.5)<p>I also like:<p>Tennessee
Philadelphia, This will be a blowout
NY Jets, I would not be surprised if the jets win this outright.<p> [img]images/icons/cool.gif" border="0[/img]

I'm pretty heavy this week on two sides and zero totals. I like the AFC underdogs--PITT +4 and NYJ +5.5. I'll be splitting my wagers between the spreads and the money lines.<p>My picks are based purely on a number system I use, but if instead I were picking just based on my gut, probably my biggest play of the weekend would still be one of these two. I like the Jets a lot on intuition. I'm more impressed with Pennington every time I see him. And although the Raiders aren't unusually banged up for this time of year, the Jets have a phenomenal zero players on the injury report, not even a probable. You just don't see that, especially for a team that did not have a first round bye.

Chad Pennington? In Oakland? Now THAT was funny!
