Week 11 NFL First Glance & Discussion

[Dr. Jack]

All odds from thegreek

Miami @ Carolina -3, 43.5
Panthers playing well. My homer side says Fish wins this game. Ronnie Brown will most likely be out.

Buffalo & Jacksonville -9, 42.5
Bills really stink and Jacksonville is probably the worst 5-4 team

San Fran @ Green Bay -6.5, 42.5
Packers defense looked better against Dallas. Lean Niners here

Pittsburgh -10, 40 @ Kansas City
Steelers will be out for blood but a lot of points to a road team that might have some confidence and nothing to lose

Seattle @ Minnesota -11, 46.5
Seattle looked good for a half against Arizona, Vikings are rolling along.

Washington @ Dallas -11, 41.5
Just seems like a lot of points in a division game. Skins coming off a win

New Orleans -11, 51 at Tampa Bay
Don't be surprised to see The Bucs score and keep this one close. Maybe

Arizona -9, 46.5 @ St. Louis
Rams looked a lot better this week vs. Saints

Ny Jets @ New England -10.5, 45
Let's see Belichick of a loss where whole world is talking about him. Jets stink since 0-3 start and oh yeah, Jets talked smack and beat the Patriots this year. Patriots run this one up?

Cincinnati -9, 36 @ Oakland
Like Bengals have ever been a 9 point road favorite? lol. They look good but how much left in the tank do they have after emotional, physical game this week. Raiders could catch them sleeping early.

Philadelphia -2.5, 44.5 @ Chicago
Both teams need a win. Can Jay Cutler come back? Can Eagles win on the road?

Tennessee at Houston -4.5, 48
HArd to believe Titans were 0-6. Houston is in thick of playoff wildcard race if they keep winning.

What are your thoughts?

I never seen so many big lines in my life

[Dr. Jack]

No parity in the NFL. You have very good teams (about 6), several okay football teams and a good chunk of terrible teams. We'll see what happens

[Bisket]

49ers have been undervalued lately

I like the Panthers against Miami.....Ronnie Brown's impact on the Wildcat offense is huge and losing him is going to be a big impact on how they flow. I don't believe Ricky Williams and Chad Henne are going to carry them against a gelling Panther team. DeAngelo and J-Stew get it done BIG at home.

The Saints had MULTIPLE injuries in the secondary. It wasn't hard for the Rams to move the ball on a beat up defense. Arizona playing great on the road and Warner seems to have his swagger back with Boldin/Fitz/Breaton. I like Beanie to have a solid game as well. Cards by 17 or more.

Philadelphia defense is better than Chicago's. McNabb is better than Cutler. Philly offensive line is far better than the Bears. I think the Eagles come into Chicago and make a statement. This is a big game for the Eagles as they try to keep pace in the East. I think the Bears are done.....no chance.

424 - if Carolina can run on Miami I would agree but their run defense is strong. Will be interesting without Ronnie though. I know he hasn't been ruled out officially but looks like books don't care much. Think line was 3 either way

[perfect420]

well jets is ranked #1 in rush yds... so i'm sure they will exploit the weak patriots defense. and if jets could run the ball patriots have no chance.. my money on jets win

[perfect420]

miami is only 2 games behind to gain a lead in division..so it doesnt matter if they go behind 3.... panthers need the game more...so yeaa i'll b on panthers on thurs

[DecodingMorris]

carolina/miami over 43.5
pittsburgh -10
oakland +9
houston -4.5

10 pt teaser: Pitt pick, Minn -1, NE -1/2

I agree Jack. I just think losing the "leader" of your offense is a big deal. Ronnie Brown makes the wildcat what it is in Miami. I think going on the road on a short week after a tough win at home will be too difficult.

New Orleans/Tampa Bay OVER 51. Easy.

[walk066]

I'm shocked to see the Beagles as favs in Chicago. Not good for me.

I hate top say it but I like Carolina. Miami has a handful of key players banged up with the obv one being Brown who is huge to that offense. I think they are going to have their troubles Thursday.

Also like Oakland plus the 9. Maybe im underestimating Cincy still but after that Pitt game going out West I think they win a close one.

I think NE hammers NY. After the SNF loss coming home they wont be down with the Jets coming to town and all the smack the Jets talked/talk, I can see a 31-16 game.

Also really like Philly, they are a better team and NEED a win here. Philly ML seems a good play.
