Bret's Football Bet Em' For the Week

  • St Louis Giving 1 1/2 - I like this game because the Rams have been hot and the Steeler's well...they haven't been. The home field factors sort of throws me but I really don't fear Heinz field in anyway like I used to fear the old riverfront joint. Good Weather means bigger bet! The bye week is always a mother...but...I gotta go with the hot team here.
  • Seattle Giving 1 1/12 - This weeks "sucker if you do sucker if you don't game" is Seattle. Cincy coming off their big upset welcomes Seattle who just squeeked by a bad Bears team. You look at the game and say, "Seattle's gonna smoke em'" And then you think like a bookie and say "Only a sucker would bet Seattle". Well here I am world. Sucker
  • Baltimore Getting 2 - 4th string QB at home. Denver is really overrated besides Portis and I believe we can shut him down. Baltimore walks after Kyle finally has his breakout game of 12-21 266 3 tds NO INTS. We win the turnover battle we win the game.
  • Carolina Giving 2 - Carolina came off a loss to Ten. last week but that's not gonna stop the train. Good D, Good RB, Excitable coach = win.

    I like the close spreads of 2 or less. I like games with spreads of 5 or 2. This tells me usually that the bookies don't have a fucking clue what they are picking. I stay well away of anything over 8 and the evil numbers 7, 3 and 6. I like meaningless games out of division and that's what I liked to bet this week. Except Carolina, but who cares about them anyway.
