NFL

Packers +7 Dallas 2-13 ATS after winning by 28+ points.
Texans +3.5 Titans 9-22 ATS as home favs by 3.5-7 points.
Bucs +3 Saints 2-9 ATS as a home favorite.
Browns +1 Cleveland 7-1 ATS after an ATS win.

NCAA

UCLA +20 Bruins 11-5 ATS in their last 16.
Boston College +4.5 BC is 11-2 SU in their last 13.
Mizzou +3 OU and Mizzou are 2-8 and 8-2 ATS respectively in their last 8

Missouri +3 against Oklahoma

Neutral field. I think this line is based entirely upon the general public's wish for Missouri not to be in the title game.

Packers +7.5 at Cowboys

I was shocked when this line came out. I figured it should be between 4 and 5. I think you could make the argument that the Packers are the superior team at this point. Dallas can be thrown on and nobody is doing it better these days then the Pack. I LOVE it at 7.5 but would still play it the same all the way down to 5.5.

EDITED AND NOW I AM TAKING

Cowboys -7 against Pack

I thought about this a little. I am no genius and this line shocked me. I don't have much faith in the rest of the world so I assume they were shocked as well. The natural result would be to jump on the Pack. Now, why would Vegas set a line that everyone would jump to on one side? Further, according to sites, the public IS playing the Pack. Even with the public playing them the line moved from 6.5 to 7. Then I see Nas and some other respected people on the Cowboys. My gambling senses are tingling on this one.

I still like the over, as both teams can be thrown on and both teams are strong at throwing.

Rutgers +2.5 at Louisville

Cards will not be able to stop Rice on D. Rutgers will be able to get a few stops on Cards O. Two disappointing teams but Louisville is the more disappoint

Dolphins -1.5 against Jets
Colts -6 aginst JAX

NFL
Green Bay +7 L
San Diego -5.5 W
Green Bay/Dallas under 52 L
New Orleans -3 L
Detroit +4 L
Cincinnati/Pittsburgh over 40 L

Waiting for the time when I can finally say
That this has all been wonderful, but now I'm on my way

Louisville- 2.5 vs Rutgers- dissapointing teams here, Louisville at home should take it.

Packers +7 vs Cowboys- WIth the Packers strong D, keeps it a touchdown or less.

Does the highlighted part mean you really like that pick Nas?

On the one hand I would go opposite you on both of those. On the other hand you won like 15 games in a row last week. On the other hand what are the chances you will be that good this week. You have me so confused.

5Dimes

Green Bay +7 over Dallas
Farve again shows he is king of prime time; Romo, not so much

Miami +0 over NYJ
It's Phins time

Phil -3 over SEA
East coast teams continue domination of West coast teams at home

Carolina -2.5 over SF
Ditto

You and others have changed my thinking. I'm on the 'boys like Liberace on a trip to Provincetown.

Packer +7...I just like the thought of giving Farve 7 points...i smell a backdoor cover!!

Over 51....Farve td pass in the last two min.

Packers +7
Packers U52
Louisville -2.5

Green Bay/Dallas under 52

Waiting for the time when I can finally say
That this has all been wonderful, but now I'm on my way

Army +14 vs Navy- Know more about Navy, just like to see Army win.

USC -19.5 vs Ucla- THe Bruins don't have much, especially after what should be a strong season last year, but don't, Trojans Roll.

West Virginia -28.5 vs Pittsburgh- I wouldn't mind seeing Pitt win, being a Georgia fan, but I see the Mountainners putting this one away early.

Central Michigan -3 vs Miami OH- Central Michigan is a good team that wil take care of this one and have back to back MAC titles.

Boston College +4.5 vs Virginia Tech- Boston College got them once and gets them again.

Missouiri +3 vs Oklahoma- I like Missouri to go the the national title game.

Hawaii -13
LSU -7
Missouri +3
Boston College +5

New Orleans -3
Detroit +4

Week 14 Early CFB

Army @ Navy -14

Midshipmen have a real team and will crush the Black Knights.

Tulsa @ Central Florida -7 1/2

This game has the chance of having more points than the Wash-Hawaii game. Tulsa fades in the second half.

MAC Championship

Central Michigan -3 @ Miami Ohio

The directional Michigan schools have yet another post season better than the Maize and Blue.

ACC Championship

Va. Tech. -4 @ BC

Boston College will figure out some way to screw this game up. Bring on the gripfest for Frank Beamers special teams.

Lines from WSEX

NCAA

Oklahoma -3 vs Missouri

Sooners have the Tigers number, pro Sooner crowd in San Antonio.

Hawaii -13.5 vs Washington

Hawaii looks to secure a BCS bowl bid with a big win over the Huskies.

Boston College +5 vs Va. Tech

Eagles do enough to keep this one close.

Navy -14 vs Army

Navy's offense will be too much for Army to contain. Midshipmen win big.

UCLA +19.5 @ USC

In a rivalry game like this, take the points, especially this many.

NFL

Washington -6 vs Buffalo

Have to think the Skins come out inspired and beat a depleted Bills team.

Kansas City +6 vs San Diego

Chargers have been too inconsistent, and KC is always tough at home.

Cleveland +1 @ Arizona

Banged up Cardinals secondary should let the Browns rack up the points.

Oakland +3.5 vs Denver

First game was close in Denver, take the Raiders and the points at home.

Phildelphia -3 vs Seattle

Long fly to Philly for the Seahawks, Eagles stay in the wild card hunt.

Bills +6.5
Lions +4
Jaguars +7
Jets +1.5
Browns +1
Giants pk
Eagles -3
49ers +3

Lions +4 vs Vikings- everybody saying Vikings, I seen what happens when everybody goes one way.

Jaguars +7 vs Colts- If the Jaguars want to prove their real, need to win this one.

Broncos -3.5 vs Raiders- I think the Broncos bounce back after last week's tough loss.

Giants -1 vs Bears- I think the Giants Defense will be too tough for the Bears offense.

Clevlnd +1

Jets +1.5

Jets/miami Under 37.5

bears +1.5...don't ask

St. Loius -3

Giants -1 over Bears

Cleveland +1 over Arizona

Seattle +3 over Philly

Jets +1 over Miami

Lions +5 over Vikings

St. Louis -3 over Atlanta

Buffalo +6.5 over Washington



Buffalo/Washington OVER 37

Bears/Giants OVER 38.5

Jags/Colts UNDER 45

Bears +1 Eli's misery carries into chicago. look for him to throw 3 more picks in a pretty ugly game the bears pull out due to their defense

Chicago/NY Under 39

Detroit +5.5 Definitely a trap game here, Detroit wins this outright exposing Vikings non existant pass defense *ignoring last week*

Tennessee -3.5 Tenn will bounce back strong at home, this won't be close

Miami -2 Dolphins to get their first win. 1976 Tampa Bay pop your champagne

Indy -6.5 They blew them out on the road they sure as hell will at home

Arizona -1 I am dropping off the Browns band wagon and betting on Kurt Warner *putting gun to my head*

Part II PrimeTime Insomnia Cure

Bengals @ Steelers -7 (39)

Bad turf equals plenty of Zzzz's. Cincinatti gets clowned. Take the under.

CIN 5 PIT 33

THE NE Voyeurs -19 @ Ravens (Forty Eight)

BAL may get shut out. Tom Brady is beautiful. Why do you think Bill likes all the cameras and such? Take the under.

Patriots 47 BAL 0

Bengals +7
Bengals U41

Pitt-7

New England -19 vs Baltimore- I think New England bounces back after last week's close game.

Patriots - 20 1/2

Looks like I'm late on this one with others buying a better line. Shouldn't make much of a difference here as they will be up big by half-time.

NE - 20.5 over Ravens, OVER 48
