Around The NFL -- Week 3

PhillyPhreak54 · September 25, 2005, 09:53:51 AM

Yes! Another wonderful Sunday is upon us. Absolutely the best time of the year. What do you guys think we'll see today? Who do you think wins and loses? Who did you bet? Any fantasy troubles or triumphs? Post 'em up...

My bets today:

1. Jacksonville +2.5 @ New York Jets
2. Miami +3.5 vs. Carolina
3. Philadelphia -8.5 vs. Oakland & Cincinnati -3 @ Chicago (2 team parlay)

Miami, huh? Interesting. Crazy. Almost certainly wrong. But interesting.

PhillyPhreak54 · September 25, 2005, 10:09:40 AM

That's my smallest wager of the day, but I am playing a hunch that the Panthers will come out a little flat. And I like the Dolphins defense so far. If they can get heat on Delhomme and continue to stuff the ground game, I think I have a shot. Even if they don't win, I only lose a little bit.

Their defense is good and its entirely possible that Carolina comes out flat, but Miami's offense so completely inconsistant (at best) that I would be hard pressed to take them with such a small line.

Anyway, I really like that parlay. Good luck.

Thanks, bro.

I took their impotent offense into consideration, but Carolina is ranked 20th against the pass. And as zesty as Frerotte is, he has an OC who loves the deep ball. And he has 3 receivers who can catch the deep ball.

I'll hope for an upset. Plus I hate the Panthers, so I took a little risk.

I'm usually able to pick one line and be right on it every time (i know, im a brilliant guy). Today its Cinci takin the points over Chicago. Since I'm posting this for the first time, I'll probably be wrong. But it wouldn't be the first time, so what the hell.

Dallas sucks.

way to post abosoluty nothing of conviction. you could at least wait until the next paragraph until you completely contradict yourself.

Phreak's Miami bet is looking decent. At the half, they are up 21-17 against the anointed Super Bowl XL champion Carolina Panthers.

Rodney Harrison being carted off the field...

And they won too. Well played Phreak.

But I lost my parlay because of the Eagles. $:-\$

I be right again.

Favre's whining on ESPNews. Threw another 3 picks today. Hang it up, Brett.

PhillyPhreak54 · September 25, 2005, 05:04:55 PM

Holy crap!!

Did you guys see Larry Allen almost farg up his OWN kicker? He ran up to the kicker on the field and grabbed Cortez's facemask and was about to knock him out

TexasEagle · September 25, 2005, 05:08:39 PM

Missed it watching Favre moan.

San Fran up 14-6 after a long catch and run.

Dallas got burned deep AGAIN!
