A nice winner on the Steelers last night! These are my early plays for week six. I may add one more later in the week....
NFL
3 STAR: NY Giants (+3.5) OVER DALLAS
Line from BetJamacia on 10/11/05
Risking $330 to win $300
The Cowboys are coming off of their most impressive win of the season as they destroyed the Eagles 33-10 holding them to only 129 total yards, but this has been a very inconsistent team this season and I look for the Giants to cover this line. The Cowboys have a history of coming up short against the spread in the week following a dominating performance as they are only 4-14 against the spread after a win in which they had 34 minutes or more time of possession and gained 24 or more first downs since 1992. Also, teams with a winning record that are off of an upset win as a home underdog are only 26-57 against the spread the following week when playing another team with a winning record. The Giants have been putting up some big numbers on the scoreboard leading the NFL in scoring at 34 points a game, and I see Eli Manning and company doing some damage here against what I feel is still a suspect Dallas secondary. Take the points!
3 STAR: SEATTLE (-9.5) OVER Houston
Line from BetJamacia on 10/11/05
Risking $330 to win $300
The Texans have to be the worst team in the league right now. After watching the Titans destroy them at home last week, I don't see how the Seahawks do not win this game by double figures. This is a total mismatch. Seattle is the number one offense in the league and Houston is dead last in the league in offense. Seattle also leads the league in time of possession while once again Houston is dead last in the league in time of possession. The Seahawks are 13-4 against the spread against poor ball control teams that average 28 or less possession minutes per game since 1992. I look for Shawn Alexander to have a huge night against a Texans defense that will spend a lot of time on the field. Lay the points!
2005/2006 NFL RECORD
5 STAR RECORD 3-2 (+4.50 UNITS)
3 STAR RECORD 6-5 (+1.20 UNITS)
2 STAR RECORD 1-0 (+2.00 UNITS)
1 STAR RECORD 2-2 (-0.20 UNITS)
OVERALL RECORD 12-9 (+7.50 UNITS)
A $100 player would be up $750
