He is leaning towards the Eagles winning too. farg.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

If the line is Eagles -4 and the O/U is 46, he will pick them to win 25-21.  Pigfarger.

Rick Mybars is gonna have to get creative.

yeah it's going to gradually just turn into a Fire Joe Morgan type of thing where I break down every stupid thing he says because he's making it harder and harder to pick games.  basically just a coin flip in most of them lately. although i've been watching saturday morning first and tens lately and he picks like 8 games a week.

am i missing something in this game though? everyone i see is picking the dolphins. the bears have only 3 losses by a combined 19 points.  tyler thigpen is starting for miami.

i see chicago in a rout.

Chicago's offensive line is atrocious and Miami can play defense. That's the only explanation I can come up with.

Depends which Jay Cutler shows up and how their OL protects him.

If it is like last week, they win.

Thigpen isn't awful.

I still haven't pulled the trigger yet but I am still leaning MIA

Chicago's only given up 2 sacks in their last 2 games, or something like that.  I'm with you, Matty... I simply don't think Miami is going to look very good with their 3rd string QB and without their best offensive lineman.  But Chicago get throw up a big suck at any time.

I decided to try out the new Bodog 15-to-1 promo on a 4-team parlay (not bad when you consider "real" odds are 16-to-1):
The Washington Lockers -2
UCLA v. Locker trying to improve his draft position o53
Nuggs/Blazers o203
Da Bears +2

[PhillyPhreak54]

That's what I did last night...thanks Rockets!

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Make me feel better and throw a buck or two into the same 4-teamer with me.  You know it's solid.

[PhillyPhreak54]

I'm still on Miami....I'm still digging on it though.

when all else fails go with the road team on a thursday night thing

especially in what appears to be a close matchup it might be the factor that sways it

[PhillyPhreak54]

Magic -6 1H
Clippers/Pacers o203

Both are small plays. I started following a guy on the SBR forum that posts NBA plays and he's pretty good.

Parlayed:

Miami -2
over 40

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Feeling better about Bears and the under than UWashington and the over.

so tyler thigpen sucks

glad i know that now
