My Week 16 Picks

[Matt McGuire]

1. BUF +125...2 units
If you are going to bet the Bills, don't bet the spread (-3), you might as well bet the moneyline to get better odds, and I like the Bills in this football game. I like their offensive line and I like how their DBs match up against the Giant's WRs. Plus, Jeremey Shockey is out and he is a big part of the Giants offense.

2. Cowboys -10.5...1 unit
The Panthers suck...I will be surprised if this is a close football game as the Cowboys continue to compete for home field advantage in the playoffs.

3. Buccaneers -300...3 units
I really don't see how the Bucs lose to the 49ers...their team has so much more talent than the 9ers and I think they will confuse Shaun Hill with complex coverages and they will get after him with their pass rush.

4. Browns -3.5...1 unit
Walter says to stay away from this shady line, but I say lets take it. How could the Bengals possibly cover? I don't get it.

5. Jets +8.5...1 unit
This team has nothing to lose and I really like how they have been playing lately (even though they have been losing)...if you really wanna gamble look at that +320 moneyline, but I'm going to take the points in this matchup.

A prop bet I like on Bodog right now is the Pack getting 33/1 to win the Super Bowl...I put .5 units on that.

If I bet on football I would take the Cowboys at -10.5. Just think the Panther will be crushed and Romo has something to prove from last week.

Bucs have nothing to play for.

[Walter]

Your explanation of Cle -3.5 is exactly why I love the Bengals.

[Matt McGuire]

Get in Jon Gruden's face and say that Walter...this team has too many veterans to lose to San Fran.

Why do you like the Bengals? Matchup wise please explain

Shaun Hill could lead the Niners to an upset victory

[Walter]

Picking games has nothing to do with matchups. The matchups are built into the spread. You have to find good spots. This is a terrible spot for CLE, coming off a big game vs. Buff, while Cincy was embarrassed beyond belief.

Against a #1 rated Buccaneers defense against the pass, #2/3 in yards, and #1 scoring defense? I highly doubt it...this isn't the Bengals it is the Bucs

Looks like people keep snubbing the 2007 NFC South champs...keep doing it this team might shock you.

To no surprise Walter you and I have totally opposite beliefs in picking games.

[Walter]

That's fine, though it's not actually my belief, I learned this and studied under one of the best football handicappers in the country, who has a radio show on 610 WIP, a Philly sports-talk station.

If picking games were about matchups, Ron Jaworski would be hitting 70%. Unfortunately, he's no better than 50-50.

Jeremy Shockey and Eli have absolutely no rythm at all, it won't matter a great deal that he is out.

[Walter]

Agreed, Shockey hadn't done much the past month.
