    Okay - maybe you do know about me with American Football! ... I think your right - the Redskins will get over 7.5 wins but do you think they make the playoffs? .... Think the Cowboys will win the Division! ... and it kills me to say that!

      Cowboys look excellent.

      Washington have a tough schedule from here on in, its currently the 4th toughest projected in the league - but if they can beat the Lions on Sunday - they then have 3 games in a row at home v Bengals (in London) , Vikings, Packers - they could win all 3 of those but they could easily lose those three also.
      They need to beat Cincy and the Packers - if they do that they will be 7-3. Not a bad spot before they play in Dallas on Thanksgiving and then away in Arizona. They then finish with @Eagles, Panthers, Bears & Giants.
      I'd fancy them to win their last 3 to get to 10 wins. And Considering Washington are in the W/C spot at the moment - I can't see who would get to 11 wins below them.

        The Lions game this weekend will be a shoot out - high scoring I think - still don't trust the skin's defence - it will be close but the Redskins have a habit of winning the close games of late so here's hoping! - and if they win, we be level with the Cowboys but they have a game less played and have the advantage over us by having already beating us.

            Here we go week 8 to try and fund a bit of Jazzing.



            4 away teams all to cover, madness!

              Real,

              Going back on your original bet - don't think now that Washington will actually get over 7.5 wins! Think they will get exactly 7.5 wins - to many holes in that teams and the coaching sucks in fairest. Too many pens and some players are just not playing as a team - just for themselves! They just a average team in America!

                You are very tough on Washington swinford, they still have a winning record - I still think they get to 8-5-1 but that won't make them playoff eligible.

                  Week 6

                  Patriots (-7.5) v Bengals WIN
                  Ravens (+3.5) @ Giants LOSS
                  Bills (-8.0) v 49ers WIN
                  LA Rams (+3.0) @ Lions PUSH

                  €10 @ 13.23/1
                  Odel Beckham Jr's late TD for NYG scuppered this week's bet.

                  Week 7
                  Falcons (-5.5) v Chargers 20/21 LOSE
                  Buccaneers (+1.0) @ 49ers 20/23 WIN
                  Seahawks (+1.0) @ Cardinals 20/21 WIN
                  Broncos (-7.5) v Texans WIN

                  €10 @ 12.6/1
                  3 from 4 this week as the Chargers go into Atlanta and win. Chargers are not so bad!

                  Week 8
                  Patriots (-5.0) @ Bills 10/11 WIN
                  Chiefs (-3.0) @ Colts Evens WIN
                  NY Jets (-2.0) @ Browns 10/11 WIN
                  Vikings (-4.5) @ Bears 10/11 LOSE

                  €10 @ 12.91/1
                  All looking so good until the Vikings went into Chicago of all places and could only score 10. Norv Turner the fall guy for that on Tuesday by resigning.

                  Wagered to Date €130.00
                  Returns to Date €129.00
                  €1 down so far at almost half way.

                  Win - Loss - Push record so far is 22-9-1 - if I had €10 on each selection individually profit to date would be €108.82 - may need to look at strategy at the end of the season.

                    Who the four wins against?

                    They wont beat the Vikings, Packers or Boys in the next 3 games and then they will just fall apart! They beat the eagles and the giants I think so they need to beat 2 of 3 which is Arizona, panthers and I'm honest, don't know the other team they have to play! ... and 8-5-1 doesn't make 16 games. I think they record will be 7-8-1

                      8-7-1 I meant. Why won't they best the Vikings at home! They got 10 points in Chicago FFS! Anyway enough discussion on Washington!

                          I'd be giving up on GB at this stage. You never know what's gonna happen.

                            Last week was a poor week with Green Bay inexplicably losing at home to the absolutely useless Colts and KC also failing to cover the spread.

                            This week is tough with some surprising results last week. Taking a punt on 4 home teams:

                            Jaguars (-2.5) v Texans 5/6
                            NY Jets (+1.0) v Rams 20/21
                            Chargers (-4.5) v Dolphins 10/11
                            Patriots (-7.0) v Seahawks 20/23
                            €10 @11.77/1 with Bet365

                            Leaning on the Patriots but they are winning well without playing great - I hope the big game brings out the best in them tonight.
                            The Jets are only playing their 3rd game at home of the season in week 10 - (hardly fair - another day's work that discussion) but I think their record is not as bad as it seems as a result.
                            And the dodgy Jags to beast the dodgier Texans - and cover.

                              A week 10 wipeout - must try harder. 4 away wins - baffling.

                              Perhaps after seeing the 2, 3 and 4 NCAA seeds losing on Saturday, it should have been a que to maybe take it easy for a weekend.

                              But a tremendously exciting weekend of action. Really looking forward to the next 6 - 8 weeks.

                              Note too for the CFL semi finals - had a look at the Ti-Cats storm back from the Brink against the Eskimos yesterday evening only for a late INT to halt the comeback.
                              Conference finals next Sunday. The Esks' travel to Ottawa in the East and Calgary host the BC Lions in the West.

                                Week 11. A Cracking evening in Prospect.

                                Lions (-6.0) v Jaguars 10/11
                                Steelers (-8.0) @ Browns 10/11
                                Dolphins (+1.0) @ Rams 20/23
                                Raiders (-6.0) v Texans 20/21

                                4 fold 12.30/1 B365

                                First up the Steelers can't afford any slip ups against the Browns as a real division race is on now with the Ravens in the AFC North. With the Ravens playing Dallas as well.
                                The Lions owe me one and can't play a humdinger every week - can they? - coming off a bye week I think they cover against the Jags. Big game for the 'Fins in LA - they are getting a point and I'm hoping they win behind Ajayi. Finally on Monday night I'm backing the Raiders who look far too good for the Texans in Mexico.
