i2iGUY’s 2009 NFL Pigskin Picks Week 8
You cant win if you don't play
The best investment in these hard economic times.
CHA-CHING ! Week 7 I went 5 for 5 on the CHA-CHING picks. They were solid gold, money inthe bank. That makes me 25 for 33, 76% on the year for the big picks ! On the big picture, my picks for all the games is not doing so well. last week I went 6 for 13, OUCHocinco baby, which makes me 55 for 103, 53% on the year. Well the good news is the CHA-Ching picks are solid and paying off BIG TIME.
Home vs visitor, spread
CHA-CHING
Colts vs 49ers, +12.5 pts - The Colts are undefeated and Peyton manning is on a tear with Reggie Wayne reporting back into the line up which is bad news for the 49ers. They finally got Crabtree to sign and he looks good real good. Alex Smith came in for Shaun Hill and got the 49er passing attack moving. However, Smith is not consistent, so the Colts win and win big covering the spread.
Chargers vs Raiders +16.5 pts - The Chargers have been playing extremely well lately and are at full strength. The Raiders after their fluke win against the eagles returned to form last week getting demolished by the Jets. The Raiders may suck, but they are consistent as in consistently BAD. They continue to live up to their consistency getting wiped out by the Chargers this week. S.D. easily covers the 16.5 spread.
Saints vs Falcons +9.5 pts - Drew Brees is the bees knees and his come from behind victory over the Dolphins has made a believer out of me. The falcons got a lot of things going for them, but they are not reeady to beat an elite team. Despite the fact that they are divisional rivals, the Saints will open up a big lead and easily beat the Falcons. Cha-Ching.
Best of the rest
Bills vs Texans -3.5 - The Texans are showing signs of life and they definitely look like the might sneak into the playoffs this year as a wild card. The Bills are a mess and after slugging it out last week against the Jets, they are in for a crash landing. Take the Texans to cover.
Bears vs Browns +13.5 - The Bears are very inconsistent and part of the blame lies with the erratic play of jay Cutler. The Browns are a mess as well, but as they say “the sun shines on every dogs ass once in a while”, so take the Browns to keep it close.
Cowboys vs Seahawks +9.5 - The Cowboys got a big win over the Falcons last week, but they just aren’t consistent with their play. The Seahawks are only as good as the play of their QB and Hasselbeck is due for a good day, so take the Hawks to keep it close if not outright win the game.
Lions vs Rams +3.5 - The who gives a shit game of the weak. I’m taking the Rams to win one on the road for no particular reason.
Jets vs Dolphins, +3.5 pts - The Jets just aren’t that good. they got off to a lucky start, but reality has caught up with them. The Dolphins aren’t that much better, but their D and maybe a few Wildcat plays will be the difference. The calls to bench rookie sensation Sanchez get louder in the big Apple. Take the Dolphins.
Ravens vs Broncos +3.5. - The Broncos are for real and who have thunk it (unbeaten too). The Ravens are a good team as well and have lost a coulple of close games they almost could have won. This week the ball bounces the Ravens way just like it did week one, when the Broncos should have lost to the Bengals, but didn’t thanks to that lucky bounce. Take the Ravens and the unbeatens fall to 2 (Colts and Saints).
Eagles vs Giants +2.5 pts - The Eagles finally figured out how to beat a really bad team last week. Thank goodness for that, because if they had lost to the redskins after losing to the Raiders, heads were going to roll. This week however, the Eagles will be brought back to earth and exposed as only a average team. The Giants want to wrap up the division and this is a big game for them. Eli will have a big game as the Eagles continue to confuse fans and pundits by rotating in Micheal Vick for no apparent good reason. Take the G men.
Titans vs Jaguars +2.5 pts - The jaguars are mediocre at best. the Titans flat out suck, however with the owner calling for Vince Young to start, the Titans will roar back to life. Superman will lead the hapless Titans to their first victory !
Packers vs Vikings +3.5 - So far its been a fairy tale season for Brett Farve. But you know what they say “pay backm is a bitch”. Karma has a way of evening things out and what comes around goes around, so the tables are turned with Aarron Rodgers having a brett favre like performance and leading the Pack to victory. The cheeseheads go crazy at lambough field !
Cardinals vs Panthers +9.5 pts - This Cardinals are actually looking like a good team. Warner is playing well and their defense seems to be getting better every week. The exact opposite of that is the Panthers. This game is an easy call. take the Cards to win and cover.
Are you ready for some football.
