Tmoney NFL Week 6 Picks

Back down to earth last week at 4-8-1. That brings us to 38-30-6, better than a stick in the eye.

Bengals at Chiefs
The Bengals defense is like a wet napkin.
Tmoney says Chiefs +3

Texans at Jags
The line is too big for a team with no O.
Tmoney says Texans +6.5

Dolphins at Browns
I never thought I would see the day I pick the Browns to cover as a fave.
Tmoney says Browns -4.5

Vikes at Bears
Bears start turning the right way.
Tmoney says Bears -5

Eagles at Jets
Pennington stinks.
Tmoney says Eagles -3.5

Tmoney says Bucs -3

Skins at Packers
Packers get straightend out.

Panthers at Cards
Do you remember when Vinny took the Hurricanes to play Penn St. in Tempe (with camo pants on) - that was 1987!
Tmoney says Cards -4

Pats at Cowboys
I like the home points and some Texas home cooking.
Tmoney says Cowboys +5.5

Raiders at Chargers
I think the Raiders are better than the big spread.
Tmoney says Raiders +9.5

Saints at Seahawks
It's really hard to play in Seattle, especially when you stink.
Tmoney says Seahawks -6.5

Tmoney NFL Week 5 Picks

Last week we stayed ahead of the rake at 8-5.  That puts us at 33-22-5 for the season on NFL. I'll take that.

Panthers at Saints
I have to take the points in this stinker. You don't know what these teams are yet.
Tmoney says Panthers +3

Jags at Chiefs
The final might be 4-3.  Take the points at Arrowhead.
Tmoney says Chiefs +2

Lions at Skins
Lions are for real...I think.  They have lost 43 of their past 50 road games but I am ignoring that.
Tmoney says Lions +3.5

Falcons at Titans
Everybody loves the Titans this year, but -8?
Tmoney says Falcons +8

Dolphins at Texans
Zach Thomas is the heart and without him, they can't stop the run.
Tmoney says Texans -5

Seahawks at Steelers
The Hawks are still thinking about that game in Detroit a few years ago.
Tmoney says Seahawks +6

Browns at Pats
I am going against the machine (because it is fun), maybe the Browns score some points.
Tmoney says Browns +16.5

Cards at Rams
The Rams are a mess.
Tmoney says Cards -3

Jets at Giants
The Giants will score some points.

Bucs at Colts
The Bucs D is playing really well.
Tmoney says Bucs +9.5

Chargers at Broncos
I like the homefield advantage.

Not a pretty one. Points at home in battle of D.
Tmoney says Niners +3.5

Bears at Packers
I think the Packers are better...really, I mean it.
Tmoney says Packers -3

Tmoney NFL Week 4 Picks

It's starting to get fun, and the injuries are piling up.  We went 8-6-2 last week ATS, still not profitable, but keeping our head up. Can this be the week where all these teams get their first win?

Raiders at Dolphins
Dolphins get the first W, but the Raiders stay close.
Tmoney says Raiders +4

Texans at Falcons
Birds also get the first win.
Tmoney says Falcons +2.5

Ravens at Browns
Both teams can be Jekyl and Hyde, Browns cover at home.
Tmoney says Browns +4.5

Bears at Lions
I really like these home dogs. The Lions put up points.
Tmoney says Lions +3

Packers at Vikes
Another tight one. Vikes stay in it.
Tmoney says Vikes +2

Rams at Cowboys
Boys keep rolling.
Tmoney says Cowboys -13

Jets at Bills
I can't stop, Jets just not great.
Tmoney says Bills +3.5

Bucs at Panthers
David Carr shows he is better then Del-homie.
Tmoney says Panthers -3

Seahawks at Niners
Niners are better than the score from last week.
Tmoney says Niners +2

Steelers at Cards
2 QBs? I don't buy it.
Tmoney says Steelers -6

Chiefs at Chargers
The Chargers break out a can of Whoop ass, finally.
Tmoney says Chargers -12

Broncos at Colts
Broncos should have 3 losses.
Tmoney says Colts -9.5

Eagles at Giants
For some reason, I like the Giants.
Tmoney says Giants +3

Big Easy

Another decent week of picks, 8-5-2 ATS.  The NFL sure is exciting this year - do you remember as many return TDs this early in the season?

Titans at Saints
Everybody is waiting for the Saints to get it going.  I am a little shaky on them.  Their O is just not working.  They are passing too much and don't have the balance they had last year.  Hopefully, Deuce is ramped up to 20 carries this week. If they can do that, they can control the game. It's a must win situation.
Tmoney says Saints -5

Tmoney NFL Week 3 Picks

Week 3 starts to show who is real and who is an oasis. 

Colts at Texans
I am thinking the Texans have some sauce.
Tmoney says Texans +6

Chargers at Packers
The Packers D is for real.
Tmoney says Packers +5

Vikings at Chiefs
Chiefs get off the snide at Arrowhead.
Tmoney says Chiefs -2.5

Lions at Eagles
I think the Eagles have some real issues.
Tmoney says Lions +6

Bills at Pats
I can't remember a line this big. Bills stay in it.
Tmoney says Bills +16.5

Dolphins at Jets
I'll take the home team.
Tmoney says Jets -3

Niners at Steelers
I am a homer - Steelers score, Niners won't.
Tmoney says Steelers -9

Cards at Ravens
I think the Cards hang tight.
Tmoney says Cards +7.5

Rams at Bucs
I think the Rams were overrated.
Tmoney says Bucs -3.5

Jags at Broncos
Field goal game.
Tmoney says Jags +3

Bengals at Seahawks
Tough to play in Seattle with no D.
Tmoney says Seahawks -3

Browns at Raiders
Raiders are better than their record.
Tmoney says Raiders -3

Panthers at Falcons
Falcons in disarray.
Tmoney says Panthers -4

Giants at Skins
Giants stink.
Tmoney says Skins -3.5

Cowboys at Bears
D wins.
Tmoney says Bears -3

Brotherly Love

If you were following, we were 9-4-1 yesterday - not bad.  Tonight's game is a sleeper, but what better to do on Monday night.

Redskins at Eagles
I have to think the Eagles are better than last week, no?  I like McNabb to get things going and score some points.  7 is a little fat, but go with the team that should win.
Tmoney says Eagles -7

Tmoney NFL Week 2 Picks

Last week was a mediocre warm-up with a total record of 8-6-2 and the Best Bets barely returning your money at 3-2. Better to be above the line than below.

Best Bets

Bengals at Browns
Do we need to analyze this one too much?  Derek Anderson is all I need to say.
Tmoney says Bengals -7

Texans at Panthers
I have a feeling the Texans are on the upswing. The Panthers were impressive last week, but the Rams are like wet paper on D.  Take the points in a good game.
Tmoney says Texans +6.5

Packers at Giants
The hefty lefty can't get it done here. The Giants were bad to start, but the injuries are too much.
Tmoney says Packers +1.5

Chiefs at Bears
Can the Chiefs score in this game? I don't think so. Even Rex Grossman will have a few TDs.
Tmoney says Bears -12

Best of the Rest

Bills at Steelers
The Bills are too banged up.
Tmoney says Steelers -10

Colts at Titans
Will be close for a while, but Colts pull away.
Tmoney says Colts -7

49ers at Rams
Niners D keeps it close.
Tmoney says 49ers +3

Falcons at Jags
I think the Falcons may bounce enough to cover.
Tmoney says Falcons +10

Saints at Bucs
Can't go with the Bucs ever.
Tmoney says Saints -3

Vikings at Lions
The Lions may be for real? We will see.
Tmoney says Lions -3

Cowboys at Dolphins
Boys put up too many points.
Tmoney says Cowboys -3.5

Seahawks at Cards
Cards bounce back.
Tmoney says Cards +2.5

Raiders at Broncos
Raiders cover with some D.
Tmoney says Raiders +9.5

Chargers at Pats
The game of the week. I give the shade to the home team.
Tmoney says Pats -3

Double Dipper Monday

What's better than a day long football sunday?  Boy that was a good day. Tons of big performances - Romo and Eli, Plaxico and Moss, Gates, even Ronald Curry.  2 monday night games featuring division rivals is just the cherry on top of a great first week.

Ravens at Bengals
This is a tough one. Both teams have high expectations. All indications are that the Ravens got better on offense, while the Bengals still have plenty of questions on D.  I expect some scoring, probably in the upper 40's total. The Ravens will score and I think the Bengals will score just enough to eak it out.
Tmoney says Bengals -2.5

Cardinals at 49ers
Another tough one.  Everybody thinks these are the 2 up and comers in the NFC. I know the Cards have big holes on D. The Niners are solid on both sides and I think the home field wins out here. 
Tmoney says 49ers -3

Tmoney NFL Week 1 Picks

Lots of dud games, but it is the NFL.  Off and running:

Best Bets

Panthers at Rams
I am not really a Rams fan, but I think the Panthers have some issues. I like the Rams to light up the score board and I don't think the Panthers can keep up.
Tmoney says Rams -1

Broncos at Bills
Remember when the Bronocs laid some early season road eggs last year? I also think they have some issues on D.  The Bills are going to ambush the horses in Buffalo. Sleeper pick of the week.
Tmoney says Bills +3

Pats at Jets
Everybody is on the Pats to the Superbowl.  But laying a TD on the road in a division rivalry?  No way, the Jets will play tough and keep it close.
Tmoney says Jets +7

Steelers at Browns
This is going to be a laugher. Charlie Frye is just horrible, Crenel is setting him up. Willie Parker runs wild.
Tmoney says Steelers -4.5

Bucs at Seahawks
The Bucs are held together by 40 year olds and duck tape. I see the Seabags re-emerging behind their healthy stars and healthy O-line.  It's a long way from Tampa.
Tmoney says Seahawks -5.5

Best of the Rest 

Falcons at Vikings
Falcons got some holes on D.
Tmoney says Vikes -3

Chiefs at Texans
Who is watching this sleeper.  If you have been watching Hard Knocks, you know the Chiefs stink.
Tmoney says Texans -3

Dolphins at Redskins
Another doozy, Skins at home.
Tmoney says Skins -3

Eagles at Packers
Packers improved, but Eagles better.
Tmoney says Eagles -3

Titans at Jags
I like the scrappy Titans to hang in.
Tmoney says Titans +7

Bears at Chargers
Can Norv light up the Bears, I don't think so.
Tmoney says Bears +6

Lions at Raiders
Another ESPN Classic in the making, Raiders win in the hood.
Tmoney says Raiders -2

Giants at Cowboys
I just don't think the Giants have the weapons without Tiki.
Tmoney says Cowboys -6

Check back Monday for the double-dip Monday nighter.

Dome Battle

I have been a bit delinquent for the past 9 months, but the season has got me fired up. Here we go:

Saints at Colts
This is going to be a track meet, no if's and or but's.  I think the Saints are actually better this year. They have 1 year in the Payton system. They also have another year of personnel improvements. Don't mistake their defense for the Ravens, but their front 7 is solid.  The Colts seem to have some holes on D, but they always do.  This will go blow for blow and I think the line is a little rich.  Colts eek it out, but don't cover. Colts 38-Saints 35.
Tmoney says Saints +6

Check back for Week 1 picks on Friday.

Tmoney NFL Week 16 Picks

Sorry, I am a little late. Running around here before Christmas.  Favre cost a win last night, I should have known better. He stinks.

The Picks

Chiefs at Raiders
Raiders win one for Shell...right.
Tmoney says Chiefs -7

Titans at Bills
The winner is still alive. 18k empty seats.
Tmoney says Titans +4.5

Saints at Giants
Gmen fold again.
Tmoney says Saints +3

Skins at Rams
Yucky one to watch.
Tmoney says Rams -2

Colts at Texans

Tmoney says Texans +10

Ravens at Steelers
I have to make the sentimental pick. They have payback in mind.
Tmoney says Steelers -3

Bucs at Browns
Gruden hates the snow.
Tmoney says Browns -3

Bears at Lions
Bears are already locked in, and they still romp.
Tmoney says Bears -5

Pats at Jags
Jags are outclassed here.
Tmoney says Pats +3

Cards take out the Niners hopes.
Tmoney says Cards +4

Tmoney says Denver -3

Tmoney says Eagles +7

Jets at Dolphins
This is the Dolphins Superbowl.
Tmoney says Dolphins -2.5

Vikes at Packers

The Vikings and Packers were probably not happy preparing in 4 days, but they sure will be happy at home on Christmas Eve and Christmas, while everyone else is playing.  This one is easy. Favre's last home game ever (maybe) and a rookie Qb starting in Lambeau.  Take the Pack to sack the impotent Vikes.
Tmoney says Packers -3.5

Tmoney NFL Week 14 Picks

It was somewhat fun to watch my Steelers stomp the Browns in the cold. I am sure few outside Pittsburgh tuned in for that thriller.  I am sure it has been said before, but Bryant Gumbel is terrible at play-by-play.  It is like watching ice melt. He is so boring.  He did have 2 terrible Gumbelism's during the game that maybe me laugh. He asked Chris how it felt "attitudinally" to be losing like the Browns. Don't think that one is in the dictionary.  Then, he refered to Cowher's opinion of Ike Taylor as being in "Chateau Bow Wow".  At least a few laughs for a terrible production.

This will be a good one, like the Chiefs at Arrowhead.
Tmoney says Chiefs -3
