I'm not - repeat [B]not [/B]- betting every game, this is just a bit of fun. Last week's decent performance of 9-6 leaves me 73-65-6 for the season.

[B]Broncos +6 over Jets[/B]
Was a horrible, horrible scheduling spot for Jets.

[B]Falcons -6.5 over Titans[/B]
I tend to oppose the Falcons but a change is as good as a rest.

[B]Dolphins -3 over Bills[/B]
Losing your starting center is bad news. Both teams are 2-4 over their last six.

[B]Bengals +7...[/B]

3-2 last week; Cleveland's botched-snap field goal miss likely cost me a rather excellent 4-1 Sunday, but (sh)it happens.

Struggling to find much to play with this week. My methods include spotting certain statistical anomalies that might be exploitable and these tend to become less common as the season wears on. I'm forcing some bets a bit because while I take winning very seriously, this is supposed to be fun too, isn't it?

[B]Seahawks @ Rams[/B]
This is one of those bets that will either look brilliant tomorrow night, or will have me muttering "I backed Seattle on the road?!". Still,...

I'm not - repeat [B]not [/B]- betting every game, this is just a bit of fun. Last week's decent performance of 9-5 leaves me 64-59-6 for the season. I missed the Oakland San Diego game, sadly.

[B]Steelers -4 @ Bengals[/B]
I just can't shake a feeling it's Pittsburgh's week.

[B]Chiefs -3 over Broncos[/B]
Not sure Tebow can ever win two in a row at present

[B]Jaguars -3 @ Colts[/B]
Oppose Colts, rinse, repeat.

[B]Cowboys -5.5 over Bills[/B]
Cowboys win NFC East, I said...

3-4 and a small loss last week. I seem to have become the king of 'unders' the last couple of weeks while losing my touch on sides. Let's hope for better from this quality quintet, although I confess this has been a week where I've had less time than usual for analysing the games:

[B]Broncos @ Chiefs[/B]
I'm in that school of thought that likes to often support teams after bad performances and oppose them after great wins. This game qualifies on both sides with the Chiefs eager to put last Sunday's Dolphin debacle behind them and Denver fresh from a...

I'm not - repeat [B]not [/B]- betting every game, this is just a bit of fun. Last week's season-worstperformance of 5-8 leaves me 55-54-6 for the season. Good performance required this time out to get nicely ahead of .500.

[B]Falcons -6.5 @ Colts[/B]
Curtis Painter is a singer-songwriter name, not a quarterback name.

[B]Saints -8.5 over Buccaneers[/B]
Little-known fact: The Superdome was originally going to be called 'The ExcellentDome' but the additional neon letters on the sign would have cost almost half...

3-2 last week despite a laptop virus depriving me of all my charts and complex calculus models (cough cough). This week I just haven't been in the mood to analyse the games from 8am to 9pm every day as I usually do (cough cough), so it's a little more 'seat of my pants'. Could be fun, and with [I]seven [/I]bets I'll be watching the CBS ticker more than the actual game on-screen...

[B]49ers @ Redskins[/B]
San Fran keep confounding my statistical indicators that [I]insist [/I]they are very over-rated. Washington were awful last week at Toronto, at least on offense. Still, I...

I'm not - repeat [B]not [/B]- betting every game, this is just a bit of fun. Last week's [I]dreadful [/I]performance of 5-7-1 leaves me 50-46-6 for the season. Not good enough, so I'm pulling out all the stops this weekend and shooting for 9-4.

[B]Titans -8.5 over Colts[/B]
Breathe in, oppose Colts, breathe out, oppose Colts, breathe in, oppose Colts..... etc

[B]Texans -9.5 over Jaguars[/B]
The two runningest teams in the NFL. Exciting.

[B]Panthers -3.5 over Vikings[/B]
What's so macho about long, blonde...

Losing my laptop to a virus for a week has really thrown me off. My in-depth 40 hours per week analysis routine got royally screwed. Here's hoping I can scrape through with a profit from the following fingers-crossed five bets:


[B]Vikings @ Panthers[/B]
I expect some clock-chewing drives from the Vikings against a reasonably porous Panthers defense. At the same time, I don't expect Christian Ponder (63 passer rating last week) to light up the Carolina air, and I note that the Vikings are performing well in red-zone defense where the Panthers have already had problems. It all screams 'under'...

I'm not - repeat [B]not [/B]- betting every game, this is just a bit of fun. Last week's mediocre 6-6-1 leaves me 45-39-5 for the season. Good to be over .500 but I'll happily go 0-13 this week if it means victory in my vital over-30's soccer league match on Sunday morning.

[B]Buccaneers +1.5 over Bears[/B]
It's absurd that I, an Englishman, have attended NFL games at Gilette and Ralph Wilson but not at Wembley

[B]Panthers -2.5 over Redkins[/B]
The...

A lousy 1-1-1 last week, but leaving me a very decent 19-9-2 for the season.

This week my main laptop succumbed to a pretty nasty virus and until it's fixed I have no access to my various collated stats and 'tools'. I'd only looked at about half the games before that happened, so just three bets this week on what didn't look a particularly juicy card to me anyway:


[B]Redskins @ Panthers[/B]
Carolina have hung tough with every opponent, playing to the end and losing by small margins (except when they won). I also have them marked as 'under-rated' by...
