    Close one RaM.

    Crosby, is there any reason we always seem to play NE in Boston?

    Do they flip the scheduling; that we would have been due to play them in Mile High this regular season but as we played them in the Play-offs last year in Mile High it reverts to Foxboro at the next game ie. this Reg season?

    Nah. Like for example the Jets played in Oakland like 6 times in a row recently I think. There's a lot that goes into scheduling, its just the way it works out.

    That's what I find so bizarre. Given the complexities of the scheduling and how much effort they put into it it's just mental that this match-up continues to be played in Boston.

    Its funny, there is a married couple that has been making the schedules for like 20 years. They spread everything out on their living room floor. Ive seen a tv spot about it.

    OK. Who is betting? Me. The Giants are awful. Going all the way to SEA. SEA not playing like last year when they were champs.
    None the less? SEA hurting and looking for a vamp.
    Giants perfect slap. Giants not playing well and hurting....easy money lads..

    Other than that? Hey Mark Sanchez is going to be so great for Philly? My Spidey sense is tingling guys!

    Mark Sanchez who threw 2 picks last week? Dunno about that!

    Opinions on my 4 team accum for week 10.

    Steelers (-3.5) 10/11 @ Jets
    Ravens (-10.0) Evs v Titans
    Lions (-2.5) 10/13 v Dolphins
    Cardinals (-7) 10/11 v Rams

    The Jets apart from a good performance in New England have been poor lately - hard to see them turning it around against heavy scoring Steelers.
    Ravens spread is high but they will be desperate for a home win after 2 narrow losses to divison rivals
    Lions / Fins is a close call and is probably going to scupper me, but Lions are just winning at the moment so they have the edge I hope.
    Rams are on the road for 3rd straight week - so I don't think they are good enough to follow up after last weeks sensational win in the Bay area. Cardinals are scoring pretty heavily and were impressive last week I thought.

    10 euro accum brings home a few cent shy of 140 euros with PP.

    Steelers look terrible. Bad bet for you. Don't discount home underdogs vs team in the same conf.

    Giants are shocking me right now. Sea really took a step back this off season.

    Last year was their one year. They clicked at the right time. Similar to Liverpool in the EPL last season. They needed to win when presented with the chance.

    Broncos will win the SB this year. No one else impressing me. Well, maybe the Rams,but that will end in tears. No harm losing in Foxborough against NFL's team.

    Peyton can have another clunker though. You don't think the cards are for real?
    The Giants need a new coach. Nick Saban? He used to work there under Parcells.

    I did forget about the Cardinals and I had intended to come back and rectify it but I got waylaid by the hockey.

    3-3 in the second!

    Funny how the Rams **** the bed there tonight just as I opened my gob.

    You are supposed to critique bets before the events not after. Easy to be wise after the event.

    Anyhow 3 / 4 was not bad and Steelers beat themselves rather than anything extra-ordinary the Jets did. Will have a go at this every week for the rest of the season if anyone is interested.

    I'd be very slow to write off the Seahawks at this this stage - not playing great and they are 6-3. Although they are not nearly as intimidating as they were last year.

    I felt sorry for the Rams late on - they have had a tough schedule lately. Kept it together last week - couldn't do it last night.

    I'd throw the AFC North into that; 4 teams split by 1 game!

    Sunday has some interesting games:

    I need to see Mark Sanchez, the new hero of Philadelphia, go into Lambeau and win. Until them I'm taking the Pack.
    Think the Vikings are a good pick right now. Bears are awful.

    Lions might take it to Arizona. Stanton is not a high % QB. That's a problem vs Suh and Co.

    Colts Pats is a toss up. I would be tempted to take Indy if it was a pick em but i don't want to lay any points to Tom Brady.

    I think my best bet is the Broncos. Rams going back to Hill at QB....he is not good. Only problem with spreads like that on the raod is if the Rams score a TD first you are kind of chasing it all day, unless its going to be one of those times PM throws for 6 TDs and it won't matter.

    Giants stink but that start time coupled with another x country trip for SF and the injuries they have, plus how cold its going to be here....be careful betting SF....Have a feeling Giants will grind one out. Kapernack kind of sucks too.

    Thank God for Miss State and Alabama tmrw. Takes the sting out of me taking time off again to watch Ireland lose 1-0. I'm not doing that anymore. Sorry to bitch and moan. But it's not fun enough to justify using my comp time!!! They need to put these games on saturday.

    What are your thoughts on week 11 lads? Texans need a win. Atl needs a win.
