i agree with you takis on this play. Rams -6. Away teams are 4-1 this year on mnf. Griese flat out sucks in my opinion. Besides a buddy of mine that went to Michigan told me this guy loves to do coke. He's a loser in my eyes and will never live up to what his father did in the nfl. Rams -6 for me and i'll lean a smaller play on the under tonight.
prediction 27-10 final. gl everyone

I just scanned thru everyones picks for sunday and boy did most of you bomb out. what the hell was everyone thinking with some of those plays. for one most of you play way to many..your a bookies wet dream when you play that many picks...you can't win that way unless your extremely lucky and here's a big news flash...your not that lucky and you never will be. quality or quantity is the way to go, learned that lesson for myself a while back...
my money is on the rams-7 tonight and a small play on the under 43
i bet the yank for the series a while back so hopefully will cash that ticket today as well. i also like houston to do it again tonight...yanks/astros world series with clemons and pettite coming back to see the old team...what better story line could you ask for or MLB?

sheesh! Rub our noses in it, heh? You do have a good point on the quantity, though: One or two good picks is better than a bunch of mediocre ones. Maybe I should just start flipping a coin on the games...
St Louis -6 and Under 42.5 for tonight.
GOOD LUCK.

Nice weekend. Hope your all hittin this week. Two plays tonight:
MLB:
Houston Astros +140ML
As I've said since late Sept..the best hitting team in baseball the 2'nd half wasn't the Cardinals, it was the Astros. And one major reason for the playoff re-surgence pf Houston is the addition of Backe to the rotation on Aug. 10'th. In 2 starts against the Cards, Backe beat them in Minute Maid 2-1 and came away with a no decision. His ERA for those 2 starts was 2.77. Yes, he got drilled in game 1 at St. Louis. At home he is a much better pitcher as evidenced by these numbers. Look at Woody's road record as well this year:
Backe at Home:
Strts W L Inn ERA
5 4 0 30.0 24 6 6 11 26 1.80
Woody on the road:
Strts W L Inn ERA
16 6 5 93.1 107 54 52 30 5.01
Houston will go all out tonight backing an undefeated home starter Brandon Backe. He is a better pitcher than the line indicates. It has gone down, but play it if you like, throw it away if you don't.
PLAY ON HOUSTON ML +140 as of 3:00 CST.
NFL:
I have a 3 unit play on the under. Tampa historically does well in this dome and their team speed is actually better on D with Lynch and Sapp gone. Did you know that Tampa Bay has won 3 straight in this series? I equate that into coaching and using the Defense to slow the game down. I like the under for another reason. As evidenced in fantasy, I believe that Faulk has lost a step and is still a talented player. The Buccaneers pass defense is 3'rd in the NFL while the run defense is 24'th their total defense rank is a solid 4'th. Look for St. Louis to run tonight and eat clock as Martz goes a little more conservative. He's such an arrogantt SOB though which leads to my X Factor: Martz. He's lost 3 in a row to these boys, he just might try to lay it on. And if it doesn't work, the Bucs could pull a major upset. Brad Johnson hopefully produces and the running game gets a boost with the return of Pittman and a healthy 100% Alstott. I like the Rams to win, don't know about the cover, but playing the under.
Good luck whatever your on.

You see, even the NYSTROOPER is telling ya the same stuff...1-3 games a week is ok...I see the same selected few posting about 10+ games a week with sides or opinions, etc...Betting many large, avg, small plays will eventually break you in half at the end...Something on tv? Let me play it...LOL...Bet med to large on a cpl of games a week and you'll do alot better...If they gave you 10 games and told you to pick the best 3...How do you think you'll do? Better than picking all 10...Capiche? Just having some fun here...Don't get mad at me...Get back at the game.
STL -6.5
Good luck
