Week 5 plays & thoughts

[Hoosier Action]

1 unit: 9-12 -4.20
2 unit: 15-12 +3.60
total: 24-24 -.60


Arizona - 5 1/2 (2)

Zona got it handed to them on primetime by the Colts. They have had the week off to nurse injuries and to work on things. I just think they have way to much fire power for Houston. Houston held that mighty Oakland offense to 9 points last week. I think they give 30 this week to Zona.


Atlanta +3 (2)

Frisco is playing well no doubt about that and have definitely adjusted to coach Singletary's style of play. I still think Atlanta is the better team imop and with the better qb. Atlanta also had the bye and should be ready and well rested for this WC game. I'm sure they have already been in Frisco for a few days so hopefully the travel won't be a factor. It also helps that Gore is still out.


Carolina -4 (2)

Definitely my fav game of the week as Carolina needed a bye more than any team in the league. If their going to get a W now is the time. I wish it was a fg line. I just think they put it all together against a team that is struggling to score points.


Dallas -7 (BTH) (2)

KC is struggling and they would have been much better off if Dallas was coming into this game with a winning record. At 2-2 Dallas really can't afford to drop to 0-3. Romo usually looks good every other game. It's time for him to look good.

Cleveland +6 (2)

Cleveland is a much better team with Quinn on the sidelines. Anderson at least gives them a chance to compete. Buffalo struggling some right now to be almost a td fav. Besides check this trend out:

Buffalo are 3-15 ats last 18 games after playing Miami. 4-14 straight up

I'm taking a chance


The rest of my thoughts on the other games:


Minny/Rams: The Rams offesne has been non existent. 10 points could go real quick with the Vikings offense. I believe there is a chance that this could be let down for the Minny. Staying away from this one. NO PLAY


TB/PHILLY: Philly have been putting some points up on the board without McNabb. Now their coming off a bye week where fav's are very succesful after a week off. Point is their giving a ton of points and I'm staying away even thought TB is a hapless team right now. NO PLAY

Oak/Giants: The lines are just unreal for this early in the season. Is there reall that much disparity between the top and bottome this year? Right now it appears so. Last year teams getting 10 or more points were 21-11 ats. Right now they look so bad I'm afraid to take them with all the points. NO PLAY


Cincy/Balt: Now this is a tempting game. Getting 8 points looks like a bargain but when you think you got a bargain you usually made a bad deal. This could be on of the games where the dog loses but could cover the spread. I'm staying away though. NO PLAY


Pitt/Detroit: Definitely thinking about Pitt in this one. They really looked like they got their offense on track. My goodness if the Bears lit up the Lions for 48 then Pitt might due the same. MAYBE A PLAY BY GAME DAY

Pats/Denver: No way am I losing on the Bronco's again. I'm staying away and NO PLAY.


Jackson/Seattle: Seattle showed some signs of moving the ball last week in the Colt's game. Jacksonville just smoked the Titans. This line is very strange and I just don't have a feel one way or another for this one. NO PLAY


INDY/Tenn: I'm a Colt fan and I have to be honest with you. This one worries me. Tenn plays INDY tough and you know 0-4 vs 4-0 and only get 3 to 4 points is very fishy to me. The way Tenn giving up points Manning may pick them apart in primetime. Don't know on this one. If I bet it of course I'd take the Colts. LEAN INDY because they are the better team and we all know it. That really worries me!!!

Comments and info always welcome

Good luck my friends

Pitt -10 1/2 (2)

Was leaning towards Pitt and decided to bet them. Detroit wounded at qb and if he does play how effective can a injured rookie be anyway. I do like the way Pitt picked up the offense last week. I see no reason why it should not continue against a very poor defensive team.
