Week 2...

So last week, I gave my money away to Tropix bar in Queens to watch my games... This week? DirecTV NFL Sunday Ticket welcome to my house.

I have a setup planned, which includes 2 TV sets in the living room and 1 in my room. The cables in my room can reach the living room so I will have 3 games going at once while throwing back some beers with my cousin and whoever else comes through... of course whoever comes has to put some up to help me pay for my service.

I DESTROYED AT FANTASY... 117-56 2nd highest total in the league (1st had Eagles D and Adrian Peterson) I had great balance, this is even with Santonio Holmes and Jeremy Shockey on my bench... NOT THIS WEEK!

Now back to my subpar performance last week...

8 out of 16 unacceptable (2 Monday Nighters killed me)... it shall not happen again, I needed to get acclimated with the way teams have declined/improved this year at first glance

Oakland +3 at Kansas City-
Da Raiderrrrrrssss looked real impressive Monday Night... Matt Cassell might play? Well blah, I'm taking the points on this one... Watch out for Louis Murphy rookie WR from Florida he impressed me in preseason despite a few mental errors, and did it vs the Chargers as well...

Houston +6 1/2 at Tennesee
If the Texans couldn't handle the Jets D, they should get shut out in this one... plus Jeff Fisher had 10 days to prepare for them... TITANS HEAVY

New England -3 1/2 at New York Jets
Brady sure seemed to shake off the cobwebs late and looked like himself, didn't he? I'm not convinced by the Jets yet, let's go Pats again... don't make me look bad again!

Cincinnati +9 at Green Bay
Palmer couldn't score on the Broncos, and against Green Bay what will he do? Let's be serious, also home field advantage in Green Bay will help the Packers cover.

Minnesota -10 at Detroit
Peterson has to not prove it to me this week (I play against him in Fantasy this week... I hate it lol) Don't be fooled, the 27 Detroit scored 7 was on a fumble recovery ran back for a TD, and a punt return to the 18 yard line ended in a TD and a kickoff return ended in a field goal... 10 points were on real offense. Vikings HEAVY!

New Orleans PK at Philadelphia
WHO DAT!? WHO DAT!? WHO DAT SAY THEY GON BEAT THEM SAINTS!? Refer to above explanation, defense is better. Since Greg Williams became DC including preseason every game has had 3 forced turnovers. Oh yeah Mr. Drew Brees has a golden arm, if McNabb doesn't play then go EXTRA HEAVY

Carolina +6 at Atlanta
I hate Matty Ice and his nickname, I see Steve Smith exposing the Falcons weak secondary... if DelHomme doesn't implode again... Last year every all NFC South game did not go higher than 3 1/2 point spread, the way I see it if the Panthers don't win they will cover.

Saint Louis +9 1/2 at Washington
Jason Campbell sucks... Coach Spagnolo is familiar with the Deadskins (do you see where I'm going here?) Also last week 2 out of 4 teams with 10+ point spreads covered, which is 50%... I'm rounding this up to 10 and saying the Vikes will be 1/2 to cover a big spread (leaving it at 50%) Rams on this one

Arizona +3 at Jacksonville
Cardinals give me a reason to believe in your team please. Jaguars can't even have homefield advantage if they can't sell out the stadium. Arizona in a lackluster game

Seattle +1 1/2 at San Francisco
Both impressed last week... Seahawks even had Julius Jones rushing well, he wont Vs. a better 49er defense buuut Hasslebeck has a lot more weapons and an equally good linebacker core (even though Pat Willis >>>>> 99% of mlbs)

Tampa Bay +5 at Buffalo
Bills won't have to choke on Monday Night, again, this time... Buccaneeers still suck. If Bills can get pressure on Tom Brady why wont they do the same to the statue known as Leftwich. BB here.

Cleveland +3 at Denver
Broncos defense surprised, Browns looked like... well, the Browns. Let's all hope Orton's finger is better so he can reach it to Marshall. Broncos barely cover

Baltimore +3 at San Diego
Chargers at home... Kansas City somehow put up 28 on the Ravens, and we all know Chargers > Chiefs by a mile or 3. San Diego better show up!!

Pittsburgh -3 at Chicago
Cutler is looking to break Favre's total interception record in a single season... Polamalu out will hurt but not more than Urlacher's absence seeing as Steelers have a totally better unit. Steelers here.

New York Giants +3 at Dallas
TAKE THE POINTS PLEASEEEE TAKE THE POINTS. Gmen will double whatever Tampa did on the ground last week (WHICH WAS A LOT!!!) Giants HEAVY

Indianapolis -3 at Miami
No brainer, Colts.

May the gamble be with you...

On the run updates...

It always seems like I don't have time anymore it stems from anything like working late the last couple of days, to hitting the gym, to going out and drinking. But enough of my complaints/excuses and lets follow-up on my last entry.

I did take Alabama -6, I was nervous at times and I felt like they should have won by at least 5 touchdowns... but because of this it stopped me from betting on LSU (We won, but didn't cover the spread) since I was not sure if Alabama would cover.

As far as my fantasy team, which I proudly named TheMostInteresting TeamInTheWorld abbrev. DosX, here goes the Roster:

QBs: Tom Brady, Brett Favre (I hope he only sees my team on Brady's bye week)
RBs: Pierre Thomas, Kevin Smith, Knowshown Moreno, Jamal Lewis, and Jerious Norwood
WRs: Randy Moss, Vincent Jackson, Lance Moore, Santonio Holmes, and Domenik Hixon
TEs: Antonio Gates, and Jeremy Shockey
D/ST: Vikings
K: Neil Rackers

I'm a lil weary about my rbs, but I'm confident a gem will come around (a couple do every season) that I might get my hands on, also my WRs make up for the slack. I am also a tad bit salty that I sat Santonio Holmes this week and he had 14 points in the 1st half but I got faith in my other receivers.

As far as the Lines go this week:

I took the Steelers -6 (I bought the half point but it's not helping since it's tied 7-7 3rd Quarter) the reason I took them was, home game of the season coming out fired up... plus they always get the calls *coughs*Right Seattle?*coughs*

Sunday's Games:

Miami +4 over Atlanta-
Matt Ryan sophomore slump starts Sunday... Also ATL's D is soft
Baltimore -13 over Kansas City-
Better offense for Ravens, and do I really need to explain this?
Carolina +2 1/2 over Philly-
Eagles are so overrated IMO & they don't take advantage of the Panther's biggest weakness since Keamatu (DT) got injured for the year, RUNNING THE BALL!
Cincinnati -4 over Denver-
Bengals with an underrated defense, and Denver with... umm... yea
Minnesota -3 1/2 over Cleveland-
No brainer, kind of feel likes a trap/sucker bet, but Peterson puts my worries to rest.
Houston -4 1/2 over NYJ-
Rookie QBs normally don't normally do great like Ryan and Flacco last year...
Jacksonville +7 over Indianapolis-
Jaguars are going to be better this year, probably wont win but I expect a close game... expect the downfall of the Colts to start happening this year
New Orleans -13 over Detroit-
Refer to last year's blowout... Plus, I'm a homer GEAUX SAINTS!
Dallas -6 over Tampa Bay-
Just picture Ware hounding the slow release of Byron Leftwich... Yeaaaa now you feel me.
San Francisco +6 over Arizona-
Division game, Superbowl loser let down... Be careful of the Madden Curse also...
Washington +6 1/2 over NYG-
Eli to revert to pre-Superbowl form without Plax (You saw last year) especially against this good defense.
Seattle -7 1/2 over Saint Louis-
Rams suck... Hasselbeck will bring the Seahawks back to respectablility.
Green Bay -3 1/2 over Chicago-
The only A-Rod who will perform well in the fall... Bears need to prove it to me, Pack will be strong

Monday's Games:

New England -10 1/2 over Buffalo-
Brady to Moss baby, for my fantasy purposes at least... Back to the 16-0 days...
San Diego -9 over Oakland-
Tomlinson historically kills da RAIIIIDERRRRSSSS... especially since preseason showed they can't stop the run... also revert back to last year's blowouts.

Till next time folks... May the gamble be with you

Tis the season...

No, not Christmas.... FOOTBALL SEASON BABY!

I'm doing this on the fly as I am on a College Football binge right now... My poor Mets have been cursed this year, the injuries were uncanny. Frankly I'm surprised that I didn't get injured by watching them lol. I've had my slight fix with Madden '10 (PS3 online name = AlzSpyder) but now its on like donkey kong.

LSU Tigers and New Orleans Saints all day.

This Tuesday or Wednesday will be my Fantasy Football Draft, 12 team league. I will post my roster as soon as it is done.

Gambling yay! I just took Alabama over VaTech -6 1/2, if I win that I'll take LSU over Washington -18...

Tomorrow or when I post my Fant League roster I'll tell u about my NFL bets.
